Trying to get the hang of lightning, so let's make it a raffle. Up for Raffle today is an Aluminium Casascius Bitcoin - It is unloaded, with no keys, and no holo. We will have 16 slots at 0.00008 BTC ea. Select a slot, and I will send you a lightning invoice (I think this is how it works?) The invoice must be paid within 1 hour, otherwise the slot is released back for anyone else to take up. I will ship in a plain, untracked, letter envelope for free. Upgrade to tracked post for $15. Ships from Singapore.

Today, I'm announcing an early release of my dedicated operating system image for securely generating, printing, and manipulating key material - this is primarily geared towards collectibles and their makers (and has support for things like vanity addresses), but in theory could be used to bootstrap any wallet. Presently, this thread is an early preview - things mostly work, but it's not the easiest to use, and can be improved in many ways (mostly ease of use). Demohttps://ibb.co/9N6RmpjThis doesn't show the printing aspect as it is running in a virtual machine. Using it on real hardware is also significantly faster (20x or more faster keygen) ApproachThe approach here is simple: 1. The computer must be able to boot off a USB made from my ISO file 2. With absolutely no internet access, no additional USBs plugged in to copy over files/programs, and no roll-your-own-keygen shenanigans, it should be able to generate keys 3. With no external inputs or internet, you can print those keys in a variety of fonts, formats, and QR codes using the tools already installed 4. You shut down the computer, and set the USB stick on fire FeaturesThe base OS image contains: 1. An offline copy of bitaddress.org 2. An offline copy of iancoleman's bip39 tool 3. A fully compiled vanitygen (oclvanitygen is not included for the moment) with support for multiple processors and vanity addresses 4. Electrum 5. libbitcoin-explorer (also known as the bx cli tool) - very useful for manipulating extended keys, WIFs, hex keys, addresses, seeds, and more 6. A word processor (free and open source - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AbiWord) - It doesn't have all the bells and whistles of Microsoft Word or Google Docs, but it gets the job done, as long as the job you want to do is printing things in a range of font sizes, fonts, and layouts. 7. qrencode cli tool - convert any random data to QR codes and export as an image 8. Ungoogled Chromium - Like Chrome, but without the Google bits 9. dieharder - a well established tool to test the quality of randomness in your system. Mostly intended for advanced users The bundled tools have been carefully selected to only rely on longstanding, established projects - especially when they might interact with key generation. The operating system is 100% offline - by default, all network related things are disabled. In theory, you could bring it online, but it would take active effort on your part to hook up a cable and configure the network (DHCP is disabled, as is wireless) SecurityThis is all built on top of NixOS - some of you who hang around the technical forums here may have seen it mentioned before, along with GUIX. Both of them are operating systems that focus on declarative builds. This means that every piece of software loaded into this has an associated derivation (think of it like a recipe) - this instructs the system on how to obtain the source for that software, compile it, and make it usable. This gives the wonderful benefit that anyone out there can verify that: 1. I have not substituted the code for any of the included software with malicious ones - every input to the system is hashed, and any changes to the code will result in the hash checks failing 2. Anyone else can build this OS image using the derivation I have prepared and independently verify that all the stated inputs are indeed what they are stated to be This minimizes trust in me, and allows anyone to build it from scratch without relying on any pre-assembled ISOs provided by me. The ISOs published on GitHub are generated using GitHub actions, with public logs for anyone to see. CaveatsAs always, nothing is perfect. There are a number of caveats any user should be aware of: 1. This is NOT immune to widespread supply chain attacks like the ones recently observed with SSH's backdooring - if an upstream attack makes it into the Nixpkgs repository upstream, it may propagate down to the ISOs prepared by my derivation. 2. vanitygen in particular has a patch ( https://github.com/RaghavSood/vanitygen/commit/f0dfc1040732e0a9843e0efa2906bd25748382aa) - this is necessary to make it compile with openssl3. It was originally written to use openssl1, which hit end of life in September 2023 ( https://endoflife.date/openssl) and is no longer recommended or supported for security sensitive applications. Due to the magic of Nix, anyone can verify that the only changes made to the samr7 vanitygen code are the ones in the patch linked above, and nothing else. Obviously, if you aren't comfortable with this, you should rely on other tools like electrum, bx, bitaddress, or iancoleman's bip39 tool for the key generation. 3. This only works on x86 computers - it's not going to work on a Raspberry Pi 4. You must be using a fairly common printer - fancy ones are probably not going to have drivers, and you can't install them easily. 5. There is no support for minikeys at the moment 6. There is no support for fancy graphics work like warping text for curved keys (unless you can figure out how to do it in the AbiWord word processor, I couldn't) 7. Usability is still geared towards advanced users - setting up printing and managing the keys into a workable format (especially if you need hundreds of them) is a decent amount of effort. If you have basic scripting skills and know your way around a terminal, it gets much easier. How do I use this?It's pretty easy - grab the ISO from my GitHub releases, create a bootable USB drive (plenty of tutorials out there), and boot up a PC. I recommend using a small, dedicated Mini PC (Intel NUC etc) that is solely reserved for key generation and has the SSD/HDD and wifi removed. If you are familiar with nix, you can also build the ISO yourself using the nix flake in the same repository. Once you're in, wait for it to finish booting up before you end up on the desktop environment. It's decently intuitive from there if you've used a linux environment before (See the demo gif for a fast walkthrough) FutureThis is mostly an early announcement - I will be doing up significantly more in-depth documentation and blog posts on technical details and usage. It is already usable by advanced users in its current state, but for non-technically inclined, there can be some polishing. If there is sufficient interest, I may put in the effort to prepare a more point and click wrapper around the existing tools that can quickly generate keys, formate them to predefined templates/QRs, and print them out. Show me the Codehttps://github.com/RaghavSood/nixos-keygen |

I am offering Bitcoin loans collateralized against Bitcoin collectibles solely to members of this forum. The terms of the loans are in the second post.
Motivation
This is NOT structured to be a highly profitable service. Under the terms of the Pilot program, the maximum I will earn is ~0.03 BTC on a 1 BTC principal, and that's before accounting for any operating costs and other service fees.
The primary motivation for this is to provide some liquidity to members of the forum when they need it most, without forcing them to part with hard earned collections. I've recently helped a few members in tough spots, and I can't keep hoarding things forever.
This is primarily intended as a helpful service. Think friendly neighbourhood credit union, not evil financier conglomerate global bank.
This is also why loans are issued in BTC against BTC collateral - you cannot get margin called if you make good choices. It also explains why any excess value left over after liquidation is returned to the borrower with a minimal fee to cover operating overheads of having to do the liquidation, and why there are no early repayment penalties (beyond an increase in interest rate if you drop to a different loan term bracket).
The interest rates have been fixed to be high enough to motivate repayment, but also low enough to be approachable, especially on smaller items. The minimum interest charged is just 5000 satoshis a day (approx 3 USD), which would apply on principals up to 0.1825BTC (against an item with a loaded value of ~0.21BTC on a 4-week). That's an amazing deal, and far better than most lines of credit out there. Heck, I'm not even using compound interest.
For security and peace of mind, all items used as collateral are held in escrow by minerjones - the most trusted and well known escrow service around these parts of the forum.
The terms are straightforward and easily readable. I have intentionally opted to not pursue a legalese heavy contract flow given the collateralized nature of the loans during the pilot program.
The pilot will run until 31st December, 2024.
Loans will be issued until 2nd December, 2024.
To start with, I will be offering loans up to a maximum of 1BTC across all active loans.
This may be increased if there is sufficient demand.
This topic was originally posted to the Collectibles board - loans to members who are not active in the collectibles community may not be as easily granted.

I'm wondering if there's any demand here for collateralized short to medium term liquidity against collectibles.
It seems to be harder to move larger pieces these days at good premiums, but with the volatility some folks may need/want some of their collectibles to be liquid.
If there is demand, I could consider offering short to medium term loans collateralized against collectibles (let's say short <4 weeks, medium <12 weeks).
What I roughly have in mind is to play within a framework of:
1. Loans are issued up to 90% LTV of a loaded item - so a 1 BTC coin is eligible for 0.9 BTC in loans
2. Interest is set to a small but fair value - let's say 5-10% per annum
3. Interest payments are made biweekly to keep the loan in good standing
4. The item is held with a reputable escrow - obviously, it can't be held with myself or the borrower for practical reasons
5. Loans are only offered to reputable, active members
6. The 10% LTV gap is to allow for some buffer in interest payments
7. If a loan is liquidated, I will try to sell the item - failing that, it will be peeled. Any excess value remaining or earned from premiums, less a liquidation fee, would be returned to the borrower.
If there's any demand for this, or someone just wants to try it out, I'd be happy to give it a shot with a pool of maybe 0.25BTC first, and see how things go from there.

I would like to get my hands on some United Crypto States coins - I'm trying to add them to the collectibles tracker, but there is no published address list (or known public addresses at all, based on their site)
I'm open to peeling some if I need to to discover the addresses, but I would also like to not pay huge premiums over the melt value - buying directly from them, with international shipping, seems akin to setting money on fire.
If anyone here has ever peeled any of their coins and can share the address details (PM, if you do not want to post publicly), that would be swell.
Alternatively, if anyone is seeking to get rid of funded coins that I can peel at a sane value (I'm happy to pay slightly over the metal spot), that would be great too.
Ideally, I would want to collect information from a few different coins to be able to cover as much on-chain ground as possible.

Well, I lied slightly - the Raffle is free as in money, but not free of effort. Clearing out some duplicates, and that includes some coldkeys. The card has been peeled, and funds swept - If I recall correctly, this was actually one of the few cards I owned that wasn't swept by Yogg, and was redeemed by me instead. https://mempool.space/address/bc1qckqzjjs7rhkhp8d5kuasmnusd94fa8837tq3ayThe holo and private key are included - holo obviously shows signs of being peeled, but is otherwise intact. I did not need to peel it off entirely, so the right edge is still attached to the card without the voiding marks. The left edge has some crinkling and shows the voided pattern. Besides its unfortunate history, the card is stored well in a plastic sleeve inside a PCGS-style slab inside another plastic sleeve. The original Coldkey card envelope is also included and in excellent condition.   00 - minerjones

To receive a ticket for this raffle, you must post some informational fact about collectibles that I do not already know - it can be publicly known by others, as long as I'm unaware of it. Hopefully this helps grow what everyone knows about various collectibles. The information must be posted in this thread publicly for all to see. If you are successful, you can select a ticket number above. The fact could be anything - maybe a creator sold a test strike that wasn't publicly known. Maybe you know something about the unique history/provenance of an item (owned by someone important, stolen and rediscovered, etc). It could be an interesting fact about an item itself (extra security features, complex production process such as wire EDM (ala squirrelbits), etc). It could be more mundane facts such as total mintage of an item that isn't commonly known. It could be a cool fact like the use of vanity addresses by some creators. Maybe you're the creator yourself and have something cool to share about your own works. Any item that's a fit for this forum is fair game (i.e., it could be collectible BTC-themed art work). Being a loaded, typical coin/bar, is not a requirement. Really anything interesting and factually correct (preferably with some proof - the more I trust you as a user, the less concrete proof needed). I've been around for a few years, so it may not be as easy as it sounds. A user can claim up to 3 tickets by submitting multiple facts. My decisions on what I already know and what I consider to be a fact is final - my raffle, my choice. Also, I presumably know what I already know. Each spot also grants you the equidistant spots up to 255 - so whoever selects spot 00 also gets 32, 64, 96, 128, 160, 192, 224. We then roll, last hex byte of the selected block number's hash wins. Shipping by regular tracked post is included worldwide. Upgrade to private (DHL, FedEx) at winner's cost. |

Been working with the team behind nfa.meme, received their blessing to hold occasional raffles and giveaways here (maybe we'll have some limited drops, maybe not). Starting off with a classic not financial advice. t-shirt. These aren't your typical, mass produced t-shirt - every part of it, from the cloth to the label to the printing, has been carefully selected and tested. Winner received free worldwide tracked shipping, and the choice of their size.   Standard rules as per all my raffles apply. We will have 16 tickets from 00 through 15. After all tickets are sold, a future block number will be chosen. The last character of the blockhash, converted to decimal, will decide the winner. For example, if the blockhash is 000000000000048b95347e83192f69cf0366076336c639f9b7228e9ba171342e, the winner will be 0xE in decimal, or 14. Each ticket is 0.0001 BTC. Payments are to be made ONLY to bc1q0rdljz7s8rupeq2s03xu0uw9f5n9wucz7qhj24. All payments must be made at the time of ticket selection. In the event that multiple people select the same slot simultaneously, the first confirmed tx wins. Anyone who makes a payment and is unable to select a slot will be refunded. 00

I have several coins that have been graded by ICG over a long time frame. I looked up the information for many of them when I bought them, and it showed up just fine on the ICG website. I'm re-looking at grading now, and realized that none of the coins I have can be found on the ICG website: 6941930301 https://www.icgcoin.com/load_SNSearch.php?sn=6941930301
5437561701 https://www.icgcoin.com/load_SNSearch.php?sn=5437561701

3616550618 https://www.icgcoin.com/load_SNSearch.php?sn=3616550618
Moreover, they state: If your serial number is not populating using our online verification tool, it is likely a serial number that has been lost during some software updates to our grading applications. This can be corrected, but requires the coin to be sent in and assigned a new serial number. Please use the attached form to send your mis-verified coin in under Quality Control. There are no service fees in doing so, and we will cover return shipping and insurance back to you.
It seems to affect a significant portion of crypto collectibles - I don't have any non-crypto ones to cross check. Does anyone know more about this, and whether there are any archival records? Perhaps someone close to their physical locations could find out more? |

I've been toying with the idea of making a "Collectchain" - similar to a blockchain, but as a collectibles series instead. At a high level, each item in the series would contain a reference to the immediate previous item. Only one item at any given "height" will exist, and once the next item is minted it is impossible to insert any items in between or at the same height without detection. Each item would be sold loaded (amount TBD) - Face values could vary across items The rough mechanics would look something like: 1. A new collectible is offered for sale each day, with that date stamped/prominent on the item (for example, 2024-07-04) 2. Bidding starts at ~10 USD equivalent of BTC, or 0.0001 BTC, whichever is lower 3. There are 24 hours to place a bid, standard auction rules of 5-minute anti snipe apply 4. The highest bidder has 24 hours to make payment - if not, it is offered to the next highest bidder for two bidders, before the auction fails 5. If no bids are received, or the top 3 bidders fail to pay, that specific date is not minted. This way, an unbreakable chain of collectibles is created - each item links directly to the previous mint, and any gaps are cemented in when the next item is sold. Each item in the series is a 1/1 - designs may be shared, but serials and dates will make it 1/1. Designs and form factor could be varied over time (for example, a new design every 210 days). This way over time I could mint the series using coins, canvases, slabs, stamps, etc. Hypothetically, the first few days could look something like this 2024-07-04 - 000 - sold -> Coin(000 | Date 2024-07-04 | Prev 0000-00-00)
2024-07-05 - 001 - sold -> Coin(001 | Date 2024-07-05 | Prev 2024-07-04)
2024-07-06 - 002 - fail
2024-07-07 - 002 - fail
2024-07-08 - 002 - sold -> Coin(002 | Date 2024-07-08 | Prev 2024-07-05)
2024-07-09 - 003 - sold -> Coin(003 | Date 2024-07-09 | Prev 2024-07-08)
Here, across 6 days, a total of 4 items are produced - numeric serials run consecutively (000, 001, 002, 003), while the dates that create the chain allow gaps. This creates a Proof of Mint chain - as more items are minted on top of previous ones, rewriting the history and setting a new canonical chain becomes harder and harder. Additionally, as each item is loaded, the private keys will lead to a UTXO mined within a day or two of the date on the item - this also makes attacking the chain harder and harder, as it requires an attacker to have a UTXO on hand that meets the date criteria. This could potentially run indefinitely, but there could also be a hard limit such as a max serial or a "kill" period where if no new items are minted for X consecutive days the chain dies (and restarts afresh?). If collectors here are keen, I'll start looking at the actual manufacturing and auctioning process. I foresee the chain becoming a mix of various physical forms like coins, slabs, stamps, canvases etc, with consecutive serials sharing the same form factor (depending on how expensive it is/minimum orders for blanks). Any unused items from a series could be sold as DIY or destroyed - For example, if the minimum order for a coin is 50 pcs, and only 20 days sell, the remaining 30 could be destroyed or sold separately under a separate line of serials/markings. Would like to hear the community's feedback and interest! |

I'm thrilled to announce collectible.money - A new site to index, track, discover, and learn about crypto collectibles. This is a BETA announcement, as I've just gone live with the very first level of features.  Features1. Track creators, series, and items 2. View the current funding status (unfunded, redeemed, unredeemed) of any item 3. View history and descriptions for creators, series, and items 4. View transaction history for any item 5. Statistics on ecosystem, creator, series, and items (TVL, number of funded/redeemed/unfunded items) 6. Fully open source - all database content, descriptions, and text are stored and publicly available on Github with revision history. 7. Support for series with collaborating creators 8. Support for collectibles with multiple addresses/chains In its current form, only a handful of items and creators have been loaded to test and demonstrate the system. Currently, this is limited to: - BTCC 2016 5 BTC V-Series artist proof (funded, unredeemed, single creator) - Polymerbit 10th Anniversary note (funded, partially redeemed, collaboration) - Crypto Imperator Gearing Set (funded, multiple addresses per set) Planned Features - ATOM feeds for individual series and items to enable anyone to monitor the flow of funds - Email, telegram bot, twitter bot alerts when items are redeemed - More statistics as charts, graphs, tables - Sale history (need to figure out how to do this safely without compromising people's anonymity/safety) - Index cross chain assets (such as BCH for pre-fork assets), LTC, etc. - Flagging stolen/lost assets - Flagging unsafe/scam creators and series - The search bar should, you know, actually search - Slabbing/grading history for itemsCreators ProgramIf you are a creator, I'm happy to work with you on an appropriate description for your items and creator blurb. Links to your site/shop and content suggestions are welcome, but not guaranteed. Generally happy to cooperate as long as its within the limits of markdown and not scam-like. Creators can also submit address lists, series/item information, and serial numbers directly to me to ensure that they are reliably and accurately reflected on the site. If you're a creator and want your works to be indexed on priority, you can submit a Creator file that follows the format of the masterlist. It should be a CSV file in the format: For example, for BTCC's 5 BTC V-Series Artist Proof, this would look like: Series,Serial,Address

That series has no serials, so that column is left blank. This format allows me to easily import the data, as opposed to manually wrangling information from various other sources. You can also submit a short description for the Creator page and the Series pages. Again, see BTCC and their 2016 Bitcoin Block, N Series (2-Star) for examples of both. I'm working on finding and importing the data manually, but it's a very slow process as the information is spread out over thousands of threads, external auction sites, archived websites, and other various hiding places. This is a way for active creators to skip the queue and get indexed now vs. having to wait it out. DisclaimerThe information here is not guaranteed to be accurate, although I do make an effort to be accurate as possible. It is possible that some facts are stale/omitted when talking about creators and items, and that addresses are mismatched to serials or items. Feature work will largely be done over weekends, but data updates can be made throughout the week. ExamplesThe collections loaded in are meant to demonstrate how the site handles different scenarios that arise with collectibles BTCC's limited run of the 5 BTC V Series Artist Proof covers a collection with pieces that are funded, unredeemed, and without known serials. The 10th Anniversary note by Polymerbit, Xprim777, and Yogg is a more complex series. Each item is serialized, with a mix of funded, unfunded, redeemed, and partially redeemed cases. For instance, serial AA016 was never funded, AA014 is funded and unredeemed, AA013 was funded and has been redeemed to a zero balance, and AA006 was funded and redeemed but has some leftover balance. The 10th Anniversary note also includes a warning in its description, as the keys were generated by Yogg. Lastly, the Gearing Bitcoin Set by Crypto Imperator covers a case where a single item (well, technically it's still two coins), has multiple addresses - in this case, only the balance for serial 016 is indexed as I do not know the addresses of the others. How can you help?Submitting information I'm missing is the best way to help expand the index - addresses, serials, photos, history, and more.

It isn't good to hoard, and I have a lot of these. Raffling off the Fresh LTC base metal, serial number 217 - this matches the Board ID of this very collectibles forum, a place we all enjoy.   Assuming the address reference list is in order, this should be address LPbHbKPfaj3igzqRMsHaxuoS1Y4fVK54jE. These coins do not contain a firstbits in the holo window, so it isn't possible to prove this without peeling. Evidently I'm going blind - the address is engraved right at the top of the coin, and matches the one linked earlier. This was purchased directly from wheelz1200, minerjones, and buckrogers during the initial release of the series - like its siblings with me, it's been stored in the original airtight shipping tube, inside its airtight case - the coin's case has never been opened. Each Fresh LTC coin contains 0.5 LTC directly mined from a block reward. This particular coin was funded in block #1887390's coinbase transaction. Sold on S&b for $288 and $360 in 2020, and 0.004 BTC in 2023. This could be yours for just 0.0003 BTC per ticket! At today's prices, each ticket costs LESS than the face value of the LTC inside the coin!0 - 00 - aoluain

Ever found yourself wondering if BTC is worth 1 million USD yet? Refuse to part with your sats until they're worth at least 1 cent? Wonder no more - visit isbtc1m.com for an immediate answer Don't worry if it shows NO - the world is still syncing and catching up to the real value of BTC. It's only a matter of time before it shows YES. I suggest refreshing aggressively But Why?Why not?  |

While I'm here, going to share another incredible set. A family, separated by hundreds of thousands of generations, reunited. The BTCC 25 BTC Error Block is a 1-of-1 manufactured by BTCC back in 2016. It contains the block reward for blocks 418419 and 418427. It is the only error block in that series, and contains 50.71528925 BTC. I also have it's great-great-great-(way too many greats)-grandchild, the Ballet Halving Block from 2020 - This contains the block reward for block 650648, totalling just over 7 BTC after transaction fees. The photos aren't great, but if there's enough interest I can get them out of their safe space and do a higher quality shot with some other pieces.   |
