VICKREY AUCTION - BABOLEX CARD PACK This is a well established format for auctions, but not one I've seen used here on the forum before. Please read carefully and ask any questions prior to bidding if you do not understand. A Vickery auction is a "closed envelope" auction where bidders do not know what bids others have submitted. THE WINNER OF THE AUCTION IS THE PERSON WHO SUBMITS THE HIGHEST BID.
THE WINNER PAYS THE SECOND HIGHEST BIDDER'S BID. Bids will be submitted via PM to me directly. I will respond to you with a quote of your bid and update the thread with all who have placed a bid, but the bids will remain secret until the auction is over. My knowledge of the bids does not impact in anyway other's bids. If you do not trust me, do not bid, but this is hard for me to manipulate. Once auction is over I will post quoted bids placed by every bidder. This will determine the winner and price. PLEASE READ THAT AGAIN to be sure you fully understand the auction format. Auction Terms Up for auction is 1 (one) unopened pack of 7 (seven) Babolex cards. Made by Vincent Faudemer this pack is the English, orange, version and contains cards depicting the cartoon character Babolex and the 7 wonders of the ancient world. These cards were originally produced in French, but this is the English version. There are 49 total cards to collect and each has a secret code that (according to the website) will be able to be redeemed for the printed satoshi value on the card and for game tokens to the future Vincent Faudemer token (I remain skeptical about these claims). I make no guarantee about the cards in the pack, their value, or future ability to redeem them for anything. Here is more information direct from the website if you are interested: Babolex Cards WebsiteHow to bid: Please submit a PM with your bid to me (geophphreigh) directly. DO NOT POST YOUR BID IN THE THREAD. It is OK to comment in the thread about the auction or that you are submitting a bid, but keep your bid secret!! Bids in Bitcoin only, no minimum and no maximum. Only one bid per person, bids may be changed prior to auction end time, a PM will be sent to confirm any new/changed bits. End time: No more bids accepted after BLOCK 738,335 (~1000 blocks from start, ~7 days) Shipping: Shipping from US, cost will be based on location. Willing to ship international and/or direct if I have worked with you previously. Paid by winner along with any import/VAT taxes. PM will be sent to each winner to confirm payment and shipping details. Escrow: Escrow with trusted forum member (such as Minerjones or Krogothmanhattan) mandatory for new members, welcomed for others based on prior interactions and preference. Escrow fees to be paid by buyer. This is to protect both buyer and seller. Sniping: Not applicable for this style auction. No bids will be accepted once end block height is reached. Excluded from Bidding: I may exclude bidders at my sole discretion. No alt accounts. Pay To: 383Nf7ymmNEpuh8TYcXG8oW6SxNUkgq6tG Payment in bitcoin only and only to this posted address. It matches the address listed in my profile. Payment expected within 24 hours of auction end. I will not ask for payment to any other address. IMPORTANT: I will not ask anyone to pay prior to the auction end time. I will not contact you outside the forum requesting payment. All communication regarding this auction will occur within this thread or via forum direct message. PLEASE BE CAREFUL and do not send any payment to potential scammers. I made this a self moderated thread so if any bids are placed in the thread they will be removed. Have fun, happy bidding! Geophphreigh |

HODL Your Horses Flye Lyfe has created art from NYC and is still active in producing prints, clothing, stickers/patches, hats etc. Not all items are "crypto" themed, but several are. I am not affiliated with Flye Lyfe, but have interacted with PJ, super nice guy. I did inform him that I would be making this information thread and he was OK with it. The first Bitcoin themed print he produced was a commissioned piece called "HODL Your Horses". This was commissioned by the user @MyBitcoinMint. It was produced in 2017 and some were sold here on the forum. Other versions were subsequently produced, red and black were available on the website, green was produced as a limited print run. Now only black is available on the website, in three sizes. A version of the print for Monero was made in the same style, limited to 100 for the XMR Monero Konferenco in Denver, Colorado June of 2019. I have tried to collect all "versions" of this print and wanted to share this with the collectibles section. Below are the versions of prints that I am aware of. Please feel free to add or share others you may have or know of, or any other details you know about them. If you have any others you know of or any interesting Flye Lyfe BTC merch/prints/etc. SHARE! Thanks for looking!

7 Day Auction - Buyer Funded ColdKey - #98, unloaded This is an auction for a limited production cold key produced in late 2020 by Yogg and Coldkey. This is the original sales thread. These were produced with the same design as the original loaded 0.001 and 0.005 versions. It is the first version of buyer funded ColdKey produced. This is a basic, or "white" version and remains unfunded. Auction TermsUp for auction is 1 (one) 2020 ColdKey buyer funded card. The original card sleeve pictured is included. Card number BTC-BF1.98 unfunded - bc1qckq8kqt99latvd39njf26gw6h7cu6sy8dv8xvy AuthKey covered for buyer's privacy. Starting bid: 0 BTCMinimum Bid Increments: 0.0002 BTCEnd date and time: Wednesday, December 22, 2021 at 1900 EST. Shipping: Shipping from US, cost will be based on location. Willing to ship international and/or direct if I have worked with you previously. Paid by winner along with any import/VAT taxes. PM will be sent to each winner to confirm payment and shipping details. Escrow: Escrow with trusted forum member (such as Minerjones or Krogothmanhattan) mandatory for new members, welcomed for others based on prior interactions and preference. Escrow fees to be paid by buyer. Sniping: Any bid made in last 10 minutes will extend the auction 10 minutes beyond the timestamp of the last valid bid. E.g. A valid bid placed at 18:55 would extend the auction to 19:05 NOT 19:10. Another valid bid placed at 19:04 would again extend the auction end to 19:14 and so on until no valid bid for 10 minutes. If this is not clear please ask prior to the auction end so no one is confused after auction end. Excluded from Bidding: I may exclude bidders at my sole discretion. Pay To: 383Nf7ymmNEpuh8TYcXG8oW6SxNUkgq6tG Payment in bitcoin only and only to this posted address. It matches the address listed in my profile. Payment expected within 24 hours of auction end.

I am in no way affiliated with them. I am not an affiliate seller and receive no compensation for this post. My chips have been purchased through the website only. I wanted to post pictures and details about their chips for reference and/or future information. Krypto Keepsafes is a new company out of Australia in 2021. These chips are created and manufactured by Daniel Hockin, user @Keepsafes here on the fourm. They have released a new product of loadable crypto collectibles for sale on their website. They have multiple physical items for sale and several NFTs. Currently they offer one Bitcoin themed chip and four Ethereum themed chips. Currently there are two "series", Casino and Gold, as well as NFT's available. The Gold series and future alt coin series have been mentioned, but not yet publicly released.

Listed as "Coming Soon" on website _______________________________________________________________________________ __________________ Trust and Private Keys For the chips with keys included, each chip has a 6 digit first-bits code on the reverse which can be used to locate the full public address on the website: Public Key LookupAny new company that claims to provide safe and secure storage for your cryptocurrency should immediately raise concerns for the astute collector and holder. There are numerous examples of companies and makers that were initially thought to be safe, but that ultimately resulted in compromised keys. Some due to negligence, others ignorance, and still others greed and malice. The statement "not your keys, not your coins" certainly applies to these producers and any new company should be held accountable. To date I have no reason to believe that this company is in any way creating fake, compromised, or faulty loadable collectible chips, however I personally will not use these for safe keeping or cold storage of my BTC or ETH. Krypto Keepsafes does disclose some production process on the website under "Security Protocols". Prior example of complete protocols = statement of controls. Loading of ANY (not just Krypto Keepsafes) pre-generated collectibles should be loaded with EXTREME CAUTION. Public TestI have loaded a non-denomination BTC casino chip with 0.0001 BTC ~ $5.00 currently, from my forum address. This is meant to provide some public exposure for the security of these chips. While this is by no means definitive regarding security, it will demonstrate any unexpected BTC movement. Below is the public address and the transaction to load my chip. I will periodically monitor this chip's address and confirm it is unpeeled and unspent. Chip: 1LvXaA Public address: 1LvXaAQB55ZtjFyjEJXPb7XZ1XD9JZucL6Funding txID: 4a9a21a50b10fb11c6e8afa7be2a7475c0aba8b50a75c5ced054587e021c48f7 Chip hologram picture:  _______________________________________________________________________________ __________________ Thank you for reading and participating in this thread. I hope that others will find it useful. If you have thoughts, comments, questions, concerns, please feel free to contribute. I will continue to update it as I receive new information, other chips, and products. Geophphreigh *updated: December 31, 2021 - Additional chip photos added. Alt coin future products mentioned. January 10, 2022 update - Gold Series initial information and 10 chip description added. X-series future chips added. January 23, 2022 update - DIY chip info added. |

THIS IS A FREE RAFFLE FOR ONE OF THE LAST GEO BOLIVAR PIECES Some of you may have previously seen my entry into the 10th Anniversary Art competition hosted by @theymos. I submitted this design for the contest. I have made several other pieces for other members of the forum and there will be a total of 16 in my first series. All pieces have been made with sets of cut and folded Venezuelan Bolivars and each has a Bitcoin public key QR code and private key under security sticker. These have been given away for fun and that is what I would like to do here as well as a thank you to such a wonderful, supportive community. First come first served for this raffle. Winner will receive Bolivar art piece no. e/16 as seen above. I will personalize the item to include the winner's forum username, or other name if desired. Each piece comes with a unique BTC address. The private keys were created and printed offline, handled only by myself and all copies of private keys were destroyed after completion of each piece. The artwork does not come with any BTC loaded on the piece. Free shipping to anywhere. As I am not charging for the piece or shipping I would prefer to ship directly to the winner. I will ship to escrow (such as @minerjones) if winner assumes cost of shipping from escrow location and pays any escrow fee. I will not be responsible for any lost item once shipped. Only one spot per person please, no alt accounts or multiple entries. Newbie accounts will be permitted to join once they are vetted. I reserve the right to remove someone from the raffle if they appear to be taking advantage of a free raffle. This will be conducted via standard BTC blockchain hash raffle like those previously held in the collectibles section. It will be a 100 spot raffle so as to not exclude anyone. Please PICK AN AVAILABLE 2 DIGIT SPOT, NO RANDOMS. Randoms will be ignored. Once all 100 spots are filled I will choose and post a future bitcoin block number and the last two numbers of the hash will determine the winner. BUT WAIT!! If at the end of the raffle you are not the winner, do not worry. The last piece in the series, f/16, is currently being auctioned. The auction will run one week past the conclusion of the free raffle so anyone who misses out can still have a crack at their very own Geo artwork. Good luck to all! Geophphreigh 00. Jcga

Want To Trade? Background:I recently came across an interesting story by a man named Kyle MacDonald. His story was chronicled on his website, and I came across it on his TED talk. He detailed his bartering journey where over a year and 14 trades he traded a red paperclip for a house. His inspiration was a game, Bigger or Better. This idea of sequential trades for higher valued items is not new. Examples date back centuries, for example the Japanese Buddhist folk tale, Straw Millionaire. I would like to use One Red Paperclip as my inspiration to try a Bitcoin collectibles version. I have not heard of this being done in the Bitcoin community User @TedMosby is doing something similar (see edit at bottom). I would like to see what I can trade for. My bartering journey will be kept here in this thread. WTT: This is meant to be a fun thing. I am not trying to "make a buck." But I will be honest. I would like to see if I can eventually acquire some rare or valuable Bitcoin collectibles simply by trading up. If not, who cares, it's just for fun anyway. I don't really know if Kyle MacDonald had an endpoint in mind when he started, so I won't either, but rather will see where it takes me without any specific item I am trading for. Rules:- I will not trade for Bitcoin or any other cryptocurrency, that would be selling.
- Any items will be open for trade as long as they are cryptocurrency collectible related. While I would prefer Bitcoin items for this, others such as Litecoin, Ethereum, Monero etc. will be considered as well.
- I will only trade for the current item listed. I will not sell the current trade offer item for BTC, or swap out something in my own collection in order to make a trade.
- I will cover shipping for both traded items, from me and to the trader. So the trader will need to provide me with a Bitcoin address for me to reimburse shipping costs that we agree upon. Happy to use escrow for higher value items or privacy (if it gets that far I guess).
- Trade offers can be made in this thread or via PM. Successful trades will be posted in this thread to keep record and to show current item up for trade.
- Identity of the trader will be posted with the trade unless they would like to remain anonymous.
- I have the right to refuse any trade offer made. A trade offer does not mean I will agree to the trade.
- Please do not send any bitcoin to any PM sent, I will not ask for any payment for a trade or shipping. So please do not send your bitcoin.
- I have not made this a self moderated topic to prevent anyone from claiming censorship, but please keep posts on topic to trades, current items, or your thoughts about how the project is going.
Where to start:I went through some of my collectibles and found what I felt to be a common, low value item as a starting point for my trading. I have decided on this to start for the first trade offer: This is a generic Bitcoin Logo sticker. It measures 3 x 3 in. (7.6 x 7.6 cm) and is not special in anyway whatsoever. Please feel free to comment or follow along, and always happy to entertain trade offers if you are so inclined. Thanks for at least reading and maybe even participating! Geophphreigh UPDATE Sept. 22, 2020: ▶▶▶ ANOTHER CRYPTO TRADING PROJECT YOU CAN JOIN ◀◀◀ @TedMosby is doing this project with digital goods.

Hello all. First. Congratulations to @tothemoonsands and Friends of Satoshi for making and releasing the new album Proof of Beats. I love the music, the idea, the art, and appreciate the time and effort that went into the project. There are definitely some great tracks on the album and it is a fun item to add to my collection. Check out the official album thread here —> PROOF OF BEATS. Second. I wanted to share with you all a fun little rabbit hole I went down after I received and listened to my album, lucky no. 13. I was familiar with some of the tracks on the record from Friends of Satoshi’s SoundCloud, however after listening to the Proof of Beats vinyl record a few times I thought a few tracks were a bit different. The one that stood out to me was side A, track 2, Key Control. There is a sample of Andreas Antonopoulos that repeats throughout the track “If you control the Bitcoin keys, it’s your Bitcoin. If you don’t control the Bitcoin keys, it’s not your Bitcoin.” This sample is used exactly three times in the track; at 0:15, 1:30, and 2:19. Whenever this line played on the vinyl there was more “noise”. This was curious, and initially I didn’t think much of it. Eventually I decided to compare it to the SoundCloud and YouTube versions and the background noise on the vinyl was clearly absent. Hmmm. A few days later I was listening to the record and thought I’d try playing it backwards, just for fun, to see if @tothemoonsands hid something fun for us. As some of you may know, with a little effort, records can be played backwards. Typically when a record is played backwards, there is no real useful music produced. But a track can be intentionally recorded backwards to produce a “hidden track” this is called backmasking. Famous examples include Led Zeppelin’s Stairway to Heaven, Pink Floyd’s Empty Spaces, and The Eagles’ Hotel California amongst many others. The first track on side A, Whonakamoto, didn’t have anything. Track 2, Key Control, was the same, just gibberish and honestly I was a little disappointed. Then I remembered the “noise” around several points in track 2 and listened again. Nothing at 0:15, 1:30, or 2:19. But after the sample at 1:30 around 1:40 there is just instrumental music and when I listened to this segment backwards, I heard distinct rapid speaking. It was not anything easily understandable at first, but after I listened to it half a dozen times I realized it was letters and numbers, but fast, and I couldn’t discern any of them. I slowed the record down and could then hear individual numbers and letters more clearly, but still hard as they still went fast. I started to write them down and replay the track over and over and clearly these were hexadecimals. I must have listened to the track 100 times before I felt that I heard all the numbers and letters correctly. Eventually once I was certain I had them all and they were correct, I counted 64 characters and I knew this was not an accident. Pause. I honestly was in a daze. I didn’t know what to think. Initially I thought it would be funny to play the record backwards, but I didn’t actually expect to find anything, and if I did, more like a message. You know, “Craig Wright is not Satoshi, tothemoonsands is” or something else funny or amusing. I was not expecting to hear letters and numbers and definitely not 64 hex characters. It is safe to say I was paranoid and going crazy. My heart races just recalling this. Well obviously I went deeper down the rabbit hole and with a 64 character hex phrase I knew what I had to do. Hex —> WIF version byte —> sha256 x2 —> 4 byte checksum —> convert base58. This resulted, very clearly, in a private key. OH BOY. Swept the key and could not believe my eyes. THERE WAS 1.0 BTC IN THE WALLET. WHAT!?!? I didn’t know what to do. I was floored. I feel like I cheated the system or stole the corns. How fitting, “not your keys, not your coins” was the literal clue to coins on the record. I am still going nuts and can not believe the series of events that all happened so quickly. I emptied the coins to a new address and took a deep breath. Whew. What a ride. I have not told anyone, this is the first I have written or said to anyone, didn’t even contact @tothemoonsands. I just had to process it and see where it took me. I decided to write this for fun and to let others know about a cool easter egg hidden on the record. To show the bitcoin easter egg prize I have included two signed messages. Below are two signed messages from the addresses involved. The first is signed from the address that was discovered with the private key on the record (bech32 verifies in electrum). One transaction in and one out, to my address. The second signed message is from the address I sent the coins to. -----BEGIN BITCOIN SIGNED MESSAGE----- April 19, 2020. PROOF OF BEATS EASTER EGG address. Found and swept by geophphreigh. -----BEGIN SIGNATURE----- bc1qgwcad9eee3kyflt9qr9d2lslh6k5fau6fxnkp7 IGW9Bkl4qANCn84AVAe7Jqm0pADEdooRLXmY99Rzx9sWQC8uDATLsvQNpJxDMp0g9PVGlX7XpK0mDHw SGhPdke4= -----END BITCOIN SIGNED MESSAGE----- -----BEGIN BITCOIN SIGNED MESSAGE----- April 19, 2020. This is the receiving address for PROOF OF BEATS EASTER EGG 1 BTC prize.

It was a rollercoaster of emotion as I sorted it out. I have always seen bitcoin reward puzzles, but never could figure them out. This must have just been a crazy stroke of luck. Not sure what to do with the BTC, maybe I'll buy an island somewhere off the coast of somewhere and settle down and live the good life. Hm. Sounds good to me. Oh, and by the way, this is all a joke. But seriously, love the album. Thanks for reading and playing along. Geophphreigh. |

To celebrate my recent win as 2019 Bitcoin Forum's Newbie of the Year I decided to do something fun for the community. As a thank you to bitcointalk.org community, and specifically the collectables board, I have decided to make a unique folded bolivar art piece for one lucky forum member. Some of you may have previously seen my entry into the 10th Anniversary Art competition hosted by @theymos last fall. I submitted this design for the contest. I have made several other pieces for other members of the forum and there will be a total of 16 in my first series. All pieces have been made with sets of cut and folded Venezuelan Bolivars and each has a Bitcoin public key QR code and private key under security sticker. I have not charged any one for these pieces, they are given away for fun and that is what I would like to do here as well as a thank you to such a wonderful community. First come first served for this raffle. Winner will receive a custom made Bolivar Art Piece like above. Winner will not get any of the above pictured pieces, they are for example only and pictures have been used with permissions by owners. The winning piece will be the 11th in the series of 16, numbered no. a/16. It will be up to the winner to decide if they would like the popular BTC logo, another logo, random design or other (within the limits of what I can make). It can be generic, personalized or a complete mystery if the winner chooses. Of note each piece comes with a unique BTC address. The private keys were created and printed offline, handled only by myself and all copies of private keys were destroyed after completion of each piece. The artwork does not come with any BTC loaded on the piece. Free shipping to anywhere. As I am not charging for the piece or shipping I would prefer to ship directly to the winner. Packaging and shipping to US and International for these can easily be $50-100 or more and escrow requires I pay shipping twice. I will ship to escrow (such as @minerjones) if winner assumes cost of shipping from escrow location and pays any escrow fee. I will not be responsible for any lost item once shipped. Only one spot per person please, no alt accounts or multiple entries. @teeGUMES is excluded from the raffle as they will be sent the 10th piece in the series, no. 0/16. This is to recognize the nomination they gave me, unbeknownst to me, for the 2019 Newbie of the Year. Thanks @teeGUMES. Newbie accounts will be permitted to join, but only if they were created prior to February 2, 2020, the date which the 2019 Bitcoin Forum's Newbie of the Year poll thread was opened. This raffle is meant to thank existing members. I reserve the right to remove someone from the raffle if they appear to be taking advantage of a free raffle. This will be conducted via standard 100 slot raffle like those previously held by members @korgothmanhattan, @anynomousminer, @hhampuz etc. Please PICK AN AVAILABLE NUMBER, NO RANDOMS. Randoms will be ignored. Once all 100 spots are filled I will choose and post a future bitcoin block number and the last two number digits in the hash will determine the winner. Good luck to all! 00.

The Utah Goldback _______________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________ The Utah Goldback is a new, voluntary, local currency made from 24k gold. This is a form of local, legal tender that attempts to facilitate transactions with gold in a more practical manner. It is designed to allow smaller value transactions using precious metals, specifically gold. At the time of release, fall 2019, 1 Utah Goldback was valued at $2.60, but can and will fluctuate with gold price. I hope this information, although brief, will be a good introduction for those interested in the Goldbacks. Information in this reference thread is from the UPMA and Goldback websites as well as other third party websites listed and is not meant to be all inclusive or exhaustive. Free Goldback with creation of United Precious Metals Association (UPMA) account:UPMA is a Utah based non-profit that offers members gold and silver accounts. It was initially founded by Lawrence Hilton in 2011 as "Citizens for Sound Money" and began offering legal tender gold accounts. In 2012 the name was changed to United Precious Metals Association and still functions to offer legal tender precious metals accounts as it did when formed. https://www.upma.org333 S Main St Alpine, UT 84004 1(888) 210-8488 info@upma.orgHow to get Goldbacks:https://goldback.com/how-to-get-goldbacksBackground (brief):From 1933 to 1974 US citizens could not legally own gold, some exceptions existed. In August, 1974 US Congress passed a law, 93-373 that repealed the prohibitions on purchasing, holding, selling, or otherwise dealing in gold in the United states or abroad. It was effective on December 31, 1974. https://www.congress.gov/bill/93rd-congress/senate-bill/02665After this law passed, it took several years to begin to introduce gold back as a currency, and generally any coins minted had greater spot value than face value and were difficult to transact in for small purchases or frequent daily use, in spite of gold's inherent value. After 1974 the first gold coins were not minted until 1985 after Congress passed the Gold Bullion Coin Act of 1985. Although other local currencies have existed before, it was not until 2011 that an attempt was made to utilize precious metals as currency. Utah was the first to begin to attempt to utilize precious metals as currency. This was proposed by Lawrence Hilton, a Utah lawyer, and eventually brought to Utah legislature by Rep. Brad Galvez. On March 10, 2011 the state of Utah passed the Utah Legal Tender Act, HB0317. https://le.utah.gov/~2011/bills/static/HB0317.htmlThis act recognized gold and sliver as legal tender in Utah. This allowed the state and individuals to transact directly in gold and sliver without paying capital gains taxes. This now allowed gold and silver to be used as more than a store of value, however transactions in precious metals was still cumbersome due to their value. Although Utah was the first to recognize gold an silver as legal tender, numerous others have adopted this concept including: West Virginia, Wyoming, Arizona, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, Indiana, Missouri, Louisiana, Tennessee and South Carolina. The Utah Goldback attempts to solve the issue of divisibility for precious metals. Goldbacks are printed by a company called Valaurum ( https://valaurum.com). They have developed a process using electrolysis to embed fractions of an ounce of gold between polymer layers. This allows for very small fractions of precious metals to be securely be transformed into easy to use gold bills. Goldbacks have been printed and released in the fall of 2019 and are now available for purchase and use. _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ ___________
Goldback Denominations At the time of initial release, fall of 2019, five denominations were printed. 1, 5, 10, 25 and 50 notes.
