Thank you

Casascius coins are way undervalued .

Apples to potatoes man. No point of comparing those things, as they where designed for different people, with completely varying approach to collectibles and memorabilia. Hype versus long term nostalgia based value store. Money grabber versus craftsmanship that can only be appreciated by many after longer periods of time.
I think there is still place for physical coins. Especially those minted from precious metals. 

Fair point and I agree with you. Though I'm still shocked at the amount of money swapped for something like a badly executed cat graphic.

Considering something so silly was priced this high at the time of sale... 
“CryptoKitties, an Ethereum blockchain-based game that allows users to breed, trade, and sell digital cats, may have scored the most expensive in-app purchase to date with the sale of a CryptoKitty named Dragon for approximately $170,000, or the equivalent of 600 ETH in cryptocurrency. “

Tried for a few months to contact admins through suggested channels but no response.

You did apparently contact us through the right channel eventually - the email address you were shown when logging into the account. You should check your inbox and the instructions sent days before you started this thread. Thanks and hope the evidence will be enough for you to get back asap.

Thank you for reply. Appreciated
Didn't seem to get email, I could've skipped it. Checked Junk/spam folders as well.
Could you please send again when you have some time.
Thanks

Speaking for myself as a crypto collector...I am still a hodler of these beauties and I am sure the best is yet to come.

Whatever you do, please do not peel. Please sell to us in here!  Cheesy




I will  Wink
Though Its pretty worrying sending such high value items by post. I don't think Its something I'd risk.

If you are in the united states and sending within the country, usps registered mail is pretty tight, but I get your point, its nerve wracking

I'm UK based so flying over to mainland Europe is not a big deal. However going to America is another story. Maybe factor in price of secure face to face physical delivery.

According to Bpip the account isn't banned, but he can't use it after a password reset via secret question.
+ Account wearing a signature, banned accounts cannot wear signatures.

If you can’t sign a message then sadly you can’t prove ownership bro. That’s the way they govern it unfortunately.
I'm not sure the success of the following. But @minerjones does an escrow for deals that contain concrete exchanges "hardware"[1]. If you can convince minerjones that you are the owner of the account, it will be a stronger proof than signing a message.


If you do not care about Member rank, but trust, it may be a faster way.

Thanks for your help.
I will try the minerjones option.

I only think we scratched the surface with the physical crypto market.  As more and more coins get peeled, the harder it will be to find loaded cas coins.  There will be a point in time that these coins get their proper due in legit auction houses.  If owning these become "trendy", sky's the limit on price.
That is true.
Most people that have got into bitcoin these last couple of years haven't even heard of them even though Casascius coins are such and important part of bitcoin history .

I am very concerned about what happened to your account?
Maybe this can show a ban on your account? Hopefully there is a good solution for you?

Copy:
There will only be 121 Swancoins ever.
I will be releasing these 121 artworks at a gradual rate, diminishing over time.
Individually hand-crafted onto 30x30cm varnished plywood. Each Swancoin can be identified by “Proof of Mark” or unique fingerprints like bumps, blemishes, colours, drips, grains, splats, strokes & scratches.
To compare these unique marks photos of each numbered Swancoin can be accessed on line and authenticated with ones you might see, hold or want to purchase from a third party.
QR code on Swancoins authenticate the series tagged here  Additionally people spotting Swancoins in the wild could always tip "appreciation royalties" to the artist Wink
Most musicians receive airtime royalties so people can enjoy listening  in their living rooms. It's great that now there's such a simple & elegant tool for physical art forms.
Please note the colours displayed on your screen might not match the originals exactly.
You can also view more of my work by looking up “Lucidhouse” and “Morris La Mantia”
Thank you.

Didn't think of signing that address on artwork....would've worked but that was living on blockchain.info wallet which I've lost access to long while back. Could always send scan of ID as proof to show who I am as my name appears on post.

If you have been banned you're not allowed to start over.
According to Bpip the account isn't banned, but he can't use it after a password reset via secret question.
@Op, did you follow the steps as mentioned here:
Recovering hacked/lost accounts

You are right

Have explained in my posts/emails to admins what happened. Basically, I was away travelling and didn't have my laptop. Received a forum message and tried to respond from my phone, didn't remember my password and entered secret word to make new password. I then tried to login, was asked to enter the captcha but it wasn't visible on my phone.... after that I was blocked Sad

I never had a btc address linked to my account so couldnt sign ...

Not great to read buddy but it was only a Member account. I’m sure you can get back to that status pretty quickly.

Good luck.

I read through your posts, can’t see why you were ‘blocked’.
Are you sure you weren’t hacked?
Cheers  Wink

Well, maybe it looked like I was being hacked by the system... But have explained in my posts/emails to admins what happened. Basically, I was away travelling and didn't have my laptop. Received a forum message and tried to respond from my phone, didn't remember my password and entered secret word to make new password. I then tried to login, was asked to enter the captcha but it wasn't visible on my phone.... after that I was blocked Sad

I have a few Casascius coins myself but seems I could've missed out on the bull cycle for these .
I still believe they will be very sought after and valuable in the future .
Interested to hear how community here see things panning out?

After slowly building my reputation on here my account username : mojolama https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=102808 was blocked.
Tried for a few months to contact admins through suggested channels but no response.
Seems only solution was create a new account and start all over again.
Puzzling how unhelpful admins are regarding reinstating accounts after all the donations and goodwill this forum has received you'd expect a better level of attention towards the community on here Sad
