1  Economy / Collectibles / Continuous Telegram scam warning on: September 22, 2023, 09:35:49 AM
Right after winning an auction I was contacted by "minerjones" on Telegram to congratulate me...
Don't know the handle since he deleted the convo right after he failed to prove himself, but he even knew how real mj sends DMs with PGP signature.

Be careful guys.
2  Economy / Collectibles / Hatton Souvenirs (probable) scam silver coin on: September 09, 2023, 04:18:28 PM
Found them on eBay:

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/185422320567

Pictured "CoA" states 0.999 silver (and no weight), but if you buy 3 (1 for 17.38 GBP), you'd get actually below the current market price of silver.
Further description probably explains it as it says "stunning real .999 Silver plated souvenir".
"Incredible detail and etchings you won't find this anywhere else" - yeah, right.

If you go directly to their site, you get even lower price (1 for 9.95 GBP):

https://www.hattonsouvenirs.com/product/bitcoin-silver-coin/

There the description reads "stunning .999 silver souvenir".

I very much doubt there are two different coins; I'd say they are covering their ass as not to violate eBay conditions, but shady as hell.
Also, just based on that video, I severely dislike the guy...
3  Economy / Collectibles / New Binary eagle on: August 10, 2023, 06:38:10 PM
So called United Crypto states (brand by Polish Mint21) just released new coin, Binary eagle:

https://www.ucs-coins.com/binary-eagle

What seems somewhat odd to me, is they used the very same design as 2014 Sol Noctis, without ever mentioning the original:

4  Economy / Collectibles / Satori chip lookup? on: August 05, 2023, 10:15:40 AM
Hi,

satoricoin.jp seems down and I can't find the info anywhere else...
Do anyone have a copy of btckey020000.pdf or can point to another way/site I can get public address from Satori chip serial number?
5  Economy / Collectibles / [WTS] Kialaras "To the Moon" and "Exogenesis" (located in EU) 0.1 BTC for both on: May 18, 2023, 05:49:24 PM
Willing to sell:

Kialara "To the Moon" 100k bits #156/250 for 0.07 BTC + shipping

Kialara "Exogenesis" 2,000,000 sats #154/250 for 0.05 BTC + shipping

0.10 BTC for both and shipping is on me. (Preferred - meaning if you offer to buy just one, I might prefer another offer to buy both even if it came later.)

Both un-funded.
Both bought here from minerjones.
Escrow optional, on your expense.
Both in plastic cases made by Kialara.
Exogenesis in mint condition, but since To the Moon was originally sold only in a plastic bag, it has very minor surface abrasions.

Prices are non-negotiable, sorry.
Long term offer, might bump occasionally.

PMs please.






6  Economy / Collectibles / [INFO] Unloadable knock-offs on: March 22, 2023, 01:03:56 PM
Now this is just weird:

https://www.amazon.com/2021-Holographic-Commemorative-Bitcoin/dp/B08TWDZTSH

(Even though I kinda like the design actually.)

And this part is funny:

Is this a real Bitcoin?
This coin does not have monetary value in any currency; it does not carry Bitcoin and cannot be loaded to carry Bitcoin. While theoretically a private key could be placed under the security sticker, this has not been done to avoid regulation issues with the SEC.
7  Economy / Collectibles / [INFO] Cryptoart Alix Branwyn - 1 Million Club (small) on: March 18, 2023, 08:01:54 PM
For anyone interested there's no. 17 of 100 available on eBay for $1200:

8  Economy / Collectibles / [INFO/WARNING] New Lydian Coin on Powercoin.it on: August 14, 2022, 06:04:21 PM
There's a new silver coin on Powercoin called "New Lydian Coin":

https://www.powercoin.it/en/home/7141-new-lydian-coin-bitcoin-backed-1-oz-silver-coin-02-mbtc-2022.html

(Have to say the design is somewhat nice IMHO.)

First of all it's mistakenly labeled as Niue coin - it isn't. I assume this is an actual mistake, since most of their other BTC coins are Niue.
In reality it's just a private coin from a company called "Coint Co." that started supposedly in 2021, but their website is still "being minted" (alright, that's a neat joke):

https://www.coint.uk

Second of all, Powercoin wants 169.95 EUR for that coin, but you can find the company's shopify store where they offer it in pre-sale for 99 USD.
Also it seems they are going to offer a gold plated version of the same for whopping 700 USD (which means God knows how much on Powercoin).

But what's really, really funny, is how the coin is "loaded".
It's supposed to come with "a password to a Bitcoin address with 0.2 mBTC". But there's no public address nor sticker visible on the coin itself (not even serial number?).

Please, (especially if you're considering buying it) do yourself a favor and read these instructions:

https://cointco.myshopify.com/pages/instructions

I mean this kind of hard-core OpSec would make Jameson Lopp proud.
Just wow.

10  Economy / Collectibles / [CLOSED] Niue 2$ Cyber Orange 1 Oz Silver Coin on: May 03, 2022, 05:04:54 PM
I can't find it now, but in a recent thread there was someone frustrated these are sold out and couldn't find one for decent price, so just for information, here's one available again:

https://www.powercoin.it/en/oceania-south-pacific/6273-bitcoin-cyber-orange-1-oz-silver-coin-2-niue-2021.html

I hope it's not considered spam, I'm not affiliated with the site.

EDIT: Wow, that was quick, sold out again.
11  Economy / Reputation / Retracted on: September 30, 2020, 09:39:33 AM
EDIT: Possibly solved https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5279132.msg55289021#msg55289021

Alright, I have no idea why would he possibly do such thing, but here it goes...

On August 21, 2019, minerjones made a post in Collectibles, offering a posters by PJ O'Rourke called HODL Your Horses for 50 USD.
On September 28, 2020, he bumped it, because they were still available.

In description he said that 50 BTC prints were made and there was a picture of a print 47/50.

Incidentally, I am aware of current sale of the similar numbered prints on eBay (not my sale), but in edition of 18 total. These are red and black (two separate editions of 18), while that of minerjones is sort of orange.
Since I thought this could be of interest to potential buyers, I posted this comment in minerjones's thread:

Quote
Just a note - there appear to be two other original runs - red and black (of 18 prints):

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Crypto-Mixed-Art-BTC-Cryptocurrency-Art-By-Artist-PJ-ORourke-NUMBERED-3-18/233375526431

Thing is, that if you are buying a numbered print, you probably think of it also as an investment. If you just like the picture, you can still buy it (signed) for marginally less (40 USD):
https://flyelyfe.com/collections/world-class-prints/products/hodl-your-horses-print
But if you are thinking of an investment, you should be probably aware that your "original run" might not be the only one - though I have no idea if the red and black runs preceded the orange run offered by minerjones or the other way around - that would probably decide which run is more valuable.

What happend, was that minerjones promptly deleted the original thread and archived it:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5177682.msg55278766#msg55278766
And made a new, same thread (with no mention of the black and red runs), but this time self-moderated:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5278745.msg55279139#msg55279139

So again, I posted the same comment there. And as I thought, it was immediately deleted by minerjones.
Later, even my original comment, in the now archived thread, was removed by a mod, which makes me kinda think even this thread will be probably removed by the same person.

After this I sent personal message to minerjones (on September 28):
Quote
Do I understand correctly that you intentionally deleted my comment (and original thread before that), so that potential buyers are unaware of a circumstances that might be devaluating your offer?
Which was left unaswered to this moment, eventhough he was online and made other comments here later.

Again, I have no personal agenda doing this; I am aware minerjones does some escrows here, but I have never dealt with him, nor talked with him.
I am not calling him a fraud, but to me, this constitutes intentional dishonest bahaviour.

PS: I will delete this if anyone here comes with a reasonable explanation why the hell would he do this...
I mean it's not even that much money, he regularly deals with much more expensive items. I really don't get it.
