Bumping this just to say I got an offer slightly lower than the starting bid for both Casascius coins. If no one else bids within the next ~30h (the set end date) I will accept it. Thanks.

Interested in bitbill...pm sent. Hold for me please

Got it and replied. The bitbill is locked down.

Hate to tell you this, but you set the buy now price way too low for the BitBill. I would have offered more than 1.7  Tongue

Yeah, from the fast responses that I got I realized that. I read that a bitbill was sold a couple of months ago for 1.6, that's were I got the price from.
Anyways, it's done now. I thought the casascius would be more popular, but apparently they're way too common nowadays and mine aren't in a such great condition.

Bitbill:
Most people probably don't remember these, they were created back in 2011 as the first "physical bitcoin": Bitcointalk thread, Website

Casascius:
Casascius coins are well known and were introduced later that year: Website. I am selling 2 coins from the first 2 series, one of them has the famous spelling error (Casacius).



Items to sell:


Photos were taken a few days ago:



Auction:

Each item is sold separately but we will use this same thread for the bids. Just add the name of the item you are bidding on. Example:

Code:
Series 1 coin: 1.2BTC
   
Any bid in the last 30m extends the bidding period with an additional hour. Since the items are loaded and include the forks I am adjusting the starting bid according to that.

Starting Bid: 1.2BTC for each item

Buy it now price: 1.7BTC for each item

Bidding Increments: 0.01 BTC

End time: 2018-06-06 19h00 UTC - Countdown

Escrow and payment:

Payments should be made in bitcoins to the address: 38umMbiPvqGYgfwnhugRpVdtqZn6p3p6PV
  
Regarding trust, I used to be a hero member here a long time ago. Unfortunately, my account got locked and I don't have a way to unlock it. I do own some other accounts if that counts for anything.
With that being said, using a trusted third-party is definitely welcomed. All costs related to the escrow are supported by the buyer.
Shipping costs should be relatively low and are paid by me (I am shipping from Europe).


EDIT: I have some PM limits so if I don't respond right away is probably because of that. It's easier to discuss offers if you send me your email or if you reply in this post
EDIT: Bitbill is being sold for the "Buy now" price. Marked it as reserved until we're done setting up the escrow and payment arrangements.
EDIT 2018-06-05: Bitbill sent.

Locking down the account was done in good faith to prevent anyone getting access to the account and posting as you. You could try sending all the information you have about the account, but it's likely that you won't  be able to recover it without a Bitcoin address. You said you used throwaway addresses what were these created with? If they were created with an online wallet which are quite common for throwaway addresses try and find out if you wrote the identifier down anywhere.

I understand the concern. From my point of view it's just a bit frustrating.

This was 2011 so most of the services that exist nowadays didn't even exist back then. I think I mostly used one of the first versions of bitaddress.org. I will have to go through my paper notes, but I highly doubt that I would have that.

Well, my email has a different password and 2FA and I use it for a ton of other stuff much more important than a forum account. If someone got hold of that I guess posting here wouldn't be the first priority.

I have access to my bitcoin stackexchange account: https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/users/5/nmat
I still have access to my ebay account which is mentioned in my PMs as belonging to me: http://www.ebay.co.uk/usr/nmatpt
I can speak portuguese from Portugal, a few posts in my history are in portuguese (pretty big coincidence for a hacker to also be able to speak it).
I can also verify my phone number or Skype, I think this was also mentioned in my PMs at some point.

It seems to me a bit unfair that someone just decides to lock down an account requiring proof of something that is impossible to obtain. I always used throw away bitcoin addresses.

Hi,

I had an account with over 1000 posts since 2011 and now when I try to login I get a message saying that my account is locked. My original username was nmat:

Sorry nmat, you are banned from using this forum!
Your account is locked because it sat inactive for years after the password hashes were leaked in 2015, and was therefore at high risk of being hacked. Email xxxx@xxxx to get it unlocked.

I emailed that address a week ago but I got no reply. I believe I changed my password when the hashes were leaked and, as far as I know, I haven't been hacked so I assume my account was locked just as a safety precaution.
I have no bitcoin address associated with that account (aren't we supposed to use disposable addresses anyway?), but I still own the email I registered with. What should I do to get that account unlocked?

Thanks
