Hey,
 Oh, that's was meant for the price ticker, because sometimes isn't loading, but you need just refresh the page.
 I have already some loadable artworks like "Revolutionary Life System!". You know what, this one will also be loadable. Because of security reasons I will use opendime and include the note into certificate which one the buyer will receive together with the artwork, opendime itself will be attached to the artwork.
 As long as I am alive you will get one. I Will wait for it, will need to prepare some gifts Smiley
 

Ah... I'm clearly an idiot and just read that wrong out of context! Tongue

Thanks , and thanks for making it loadable, that makes it all the more appealing to me at least! Talk soon! Cool

Payment first, if I don't ship the art within 3 days. I'll refund you and you can report my account
Will contact highest bidder for transaction through PM

Report your account? That does nothing here if you were not yet aware... Will you accept escrow? Where are you shipping this from?

Very cool but this is too easy to get scammed on without a trusted forum escrow to ensure all parties are happy.

Love it too, but what does this mean or is it a relic of a prior auction page :

"if not loading then update the link " [img .....

Is this a loadable item? That would be cool...  Cool   Thanks as always, have gotta get a piece of your work soon! Cheesy
886  Economy / Collectibles / Re: [SALE] BITCOIN ART *VOICELESS* MX12 - LIMITED on: July 17, 2022, 01:42:47 PM
I am not understanding - what is the price? we decide what we pay? what if someone says zero, they still get one?

I kind of took it like bandcamp.com - You just pick what you want to pay (0 is sometimes allowed)?, and then pay for shipping (N/A on bandcamp, as it's digital music).

I hope nobody would even ask to get one for free, that'd just be rude IMO. Huh

Hello! Awesome job as always - Can one user buy multiple tickets/slots, or is it one per user?

Thanks!

I think Tweetious found these (what a surprise lol). Someone posted about them in our discord chat and I just immediately thought it was a really cool idea.

Sone interesting stuff to note, they seem have trademarked, or at least using the ™️ symbol next to “Backed by Bitcoin” and “Cryptocoin”. I’m not so sure they can actually trademark these phrases/name. Anyone have any idea how that works ?


Ha, I'm not surprised, you two always find the neatest one-offs out there, after all! Grin  

As for trademarking, you can look up USA TM's here - https://www.uspto.gov/trademarks/search

More general (good) info here - https://www.uspto.gov/trademarks

I don't think it's difficult or expensive, you probably just have to read up on it etc etc.. Tongue

Edit - I did not search the db for them sorry! Tongue

I think that physical Bitcoin is backward thinking. Humans have had physical money for many centuries, but the digital world and the level of interaction in it is so high that it's no longer enough to only use physical money. So Bitcoin is actually a step forward, as it's a coin that has no physical realm because it's not needed anymore. Sure, there are places and conditions in which there's no stable internet access, electricity or the level of digital literacy is too low, but these people won't be interested in physical Bitcoin probably either. I don't mind projects that suggest physical BTC as a thing of art, a collectible of something like that. But otherwise, it's a waste of resources and space.

It's also an easy way to introduce people to how bitcoin actually works, in fact it's often easier for people if there is a physical representation (even if it does not really matter) to understand the process of private and public keys as well. I actually find it easier to just pull out a coldkey card and show someone how it works than explain something that is difficult for a lay-person to wrap their heads around. Tongue

Everyone is different and adoption is harder in some places than others, obviously.

This coin actually pisses me off. Trying to piggyback on the success of Casascius and Lealana without actually putting in the work to be legit. Lets pretend to be physical bitcoin to get the customers. No address, not funded. I bet there's a 1-800 number the holo. Please call number and well mail you 2 dimes. $4.99 shipping and handling.

Sounds like the Hyperion Gold scam, the 4 guardians coins. Anything from TWC is suspect to me nowadays, they often don't even have the coins they are selling. This one pisses me off as well, I mean I don't mind they are piggybacking myself, but the fact they claim each is loaded with 5k sats or some bullshit. I can already tell if there is some website involved, it will be a scam as far as getting any btc from them. Roll Eyes

Where is @ChiBitCTY ? Cheesy
893  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is the world ready to embrace physical bitcoin? on: July 03, 2022, 03:55:35 PM
So they would be an extent of 'NTF' but at the physical level. Usually, after it is sold and the owner peels off the sticker to reveal the pvt key, what value it have? Yup, just another collectible.

Not really - You see, the Bitcoin on Casascius coins is actually quite "virgin" bitcoin. It has no large history or taint. In fact, some like to use BTC from historic coins like these to fund other items, for example OpenDimes and such...

Ofc, 1 BTC always = 1 BTC, but there is a difference to some people! Wink

Also, peeled coins are valuable as well, and there is a large market for those in the collectible section as well..

One quality that sets bitcoin apart from other currencies and contributes to its widespread acceptance is its digital form. People won't adopt the use of it because carrying around an actual coin to make purchases will be burdensome.

Of course not, that's not why they were ever made - they were made to be cold storage wallets, but as you can see here, MANY have already been peeled, thus making the other non-peeled coins more valuable in the end. Grin

Why would you push or support this kind of idea when Bitcoin supposed to be use in digital only because for an instance I'm thinking how would you send that kind of physical coin across the world? There's an easy way for transaction that's why Bitcoin is in digital form because of the internet and now people are thinking they could just change the idea of a digital into physical which doesn't fit to everything.

I agree that this should be use only as a collectibles because no matter what kind of idea you put into it this is not how Bitcoin supposed to be. Bitcoin is for online transactions only thus having a less interference with the government since it's decentralized.

Just... Stop. Have you ever heard of Lealana? Casascius? BitBills? Coldkeys? CrytpoArt? There are soooo many physical makers of loaded coins/items/artwork out there, some of them will be definitive historical artifacts - Check this - https://auctions.stacksbowers.com/lots/view/3-WWDXU/2011-casascius-1-bitcoin-btc-loaded-firstbits-1b2q7cyc-series-1-casacius-error-brass-285-mm-ms-67-pcgs 

Do you see how much that sold for over face?  Shocked

Sold $50,400

Lot Is Closed Live Bidding began Jun 15, 2022 @ 10:00 AM PDT

Do more browsing, there is a market for everything. Ever heard of the Austrian crypto stamp for example? Tongue

Up until now, the physical bitcoin is indeed more on collectible items category rather than being used as regular currency.
Because the components are expensive itself as compared to regular coin.
And because transactions are all online. Would be hard to know the tx id if you will use actual bitcoin coin.
So don't know how a physical btc coin will participate in the crypto market if in case it will find its way to trading market.


This is mostly true, however, when you say the txid would be hard to know, that is [mostly] wrong - for example, all Casascius coins have the first bits of the public key showing, additionally there are tracing sites that track the fulllist.txt of coins out there - This means you can look up the physical bitcoin on the blockchain using walletexplorer.com. 

There are plenty of demand for physical Bitcoin loaded items, just look here for a bit...
