Yeah, the more I thought through using it as a destructible, the less it made sense.

You have a great concept. I love the infused glass technique. I hope you run with it.

I'm not certain owhat country's definition of fraud you are basing that assessment on, but here in the USA, I believe there are 5 elements that need to be met to be considered fraud. One of which states, "to be fraudulent, a false statement must be made with intent to deceive the victim. It seems like a simple description smashes the intent to deceive argument.

Thank you. I hope it becomes a meaningful contribution for the community.

As for price, they were VERY expensive to produce, so they wont be at token prices. But for someone that wants to polish their bitcoin and stare at them way too much, it might be a nice treat.

I guess I'll be announcing here.... somewhere.

On the same note, there was recently someone that sold metal wallets at coldcoins.co that couldn't deliver and left several people waiting for an overdue refund. That  is not me. coldco.in is me. We already had our coins at the mint when he registered his domain and had his website up within a few hours... I hope his rep doesn't cause us too much damage.

We are just finishing up our website and waiting for packaging for a coin with a very similar utility. More to come over the next week.

First, let me clarify, I am not the “coldcoins” guy you’re speaking of. I’m just an unfortunate predecessor of the same name. Someone who has invested a considerable amount into a creating a remarkably unique cold storage collectible, under the ColdCoin name, before this unfortunate experiment.

I find it interesting that Chris Sweeting registered his domain a day after you announced your product.

I also find it interesting that he announced his product a few hours later. Just enough time to throw up a nice website and copy. Not long enough, however , to get manufacturing worked out or to even create a prototype (exceptions noted). 

I find it interesting, yet likely a true coincidence, that he registered the coldcoins.co domain 6 days AFTER I registered the www.coldco.in .

And lastly (but not finally), I find it interesting that he registered the “coldcoins” username here just hours after I registered “ColdCoin.”

I presume he had intentions of creating a trusted and sustainable venture. I also figure the simplest explanation is he got ahead of himself and discovered unforeseen challenges after he had orders lining up. I don’t know. I made that up.

I find it disappointing though, that rather than owning the problem and making it right, right away, he appears to have disappeared from the forums and left a lot of people in the in the dark who still want to give him the benefit of the doubt.

Unfortunately, I discovered his product announcement while our first edition physical coins were well into the minting process. I already wrote the mint a hefty check (they declined to accept bitcoin).

I was pretty bummed to share the name, but I just figured the free market would work it out. I guess it has, but I’ll be answering to his reputation for quite some time.

Really I just wanted to say 2 things… no 3.

1)   I’m not him, he’s not me. 2 similar yet very different products.
2)   If you have ordered a metal card from coldcoins.co, and have not received a refund, I will give you one of our first run cold storage coins. Free. Just PM me your receipt info and I’ll take care of you (i hope there are very very few of you ;-)
3)   Once again, we are coldco.in . No affiliation whatsoever with coldcoins.co

What physical bitcoins are still being minted? Any new ones coming out soon? Is there a comprehensive list of past coin designs?
