has anyone ordered and received their set yet?

Nearly 

Actually, i thought about it for less than a minute, mid-moon, and was also thankful for the 8 hour trip needed, to have it in my hands!

The coins will be up at Denarium.com as soon as we have assembled enough for quick shipping. Current estimate is within 2 weeks. That will be announced properly when it's time.

My estimate for the website price is 199,90 € per coin but this is not locked in yet.

I would imagine that if left untouched and out of direct sunlight the private key on the back would be legible for decades, no?

I rarely ship consecutive serials. Instead I try to divide up the lower serials between multiple orders. So for most buyers who purchased QTY 3 for example, I might send them #20, 50, 80. For serials 02 - 10 - I tend to include these in the larger orders from long-time customers. For this latest release a customer ordered QTY 15 for example, and they received a handful of low serials in return. (this customer frequents this site if they care to come forward) Others in this room purchased QTY 7, 9, 10, etc.

I try not to base the serials I ship strictly on the time of purchase, as mailchimp tends to deliver emails to different users over a window of time. But if you order early you will most certainly receive lower serial pieces than someone who orders after you.

If a customer has ordered QTY 5 of every release, I'll remember this and if they didn't get a low serial on one release, I'll try to make sure they do on the next.

It's not a perfect science. I value every customer and I do my best to try to please everyone. I keep zero of the low serials for myself. I planned to keep the 01's of the 1BTC Silver and Golds, but ended up shipping them to some VIP's.

Most importantly of all, I try to do what's in the best interest for the future value of my works, because then everyone wins.

So far that seems to be the case... CI said they're open to private mintages... It's up to them I guess

Hello.
I am writing the blockchain for Aeternity.
Here is my github https://github.com/zack-bitcoin
You can see my work on Aeternity, and on other projects I have done.

People keep asking about "escrow". I know what that word means, but I don't know what they mean in this context.
Is this about the token sale?

People are worried to put their money into a project that wont exist for a year.
I feel the same way. I haven't invested in any projects like this.
I regret my decision not to invest in the Ethereum crowdsale, or the Augur crowdsale.

My motivation to work on blockchain technology is from agorism.
I think that the most effective way to improve the world is to [censored].
Regardless of how successful Aeternity is, I will keep working on this technology.
