Did I read that right?

You are auctioning all 10 coins in a single auction with a single possible winner?

10 coins in a single auction with 10 possible winners Smiley

Is the numbering going to be on the holo?

Yes, serial number is, as always, etched in the hologram.

Update!

Everything going as scheduled, coins have been received:



(Better pics soon)

So they will be assembled tomorrow!

Thanks for the update. Looking forward to Sunday! I think there will be a good amount of interest, just hope I manage to strike one.
Glad to know that only one coin per person will be allowed. Gives me hope. Smiley

Definitely agree with this. Seems like everything has been thought out very well and with the customers best interest at heart. I'll see you all Sunday!

Will you still PM us who have shown interest when everything is live?

And, will the starting bid be low or a bit higher. And one last thing, does the coin have to be funded or will that be up to winners?

Yes, you will receive a PM once auction is live Smiley
Coin has to be funded, this has been mandatory with all CI limited editions...

BTW everyone who requested it has been added to the list.

Plz add me to the list

CI what does the  “Antique Design” means? is that unpolished? The coins in the pictures looks pretty shiny to me (I like shiny things).
If possible, can you then make a close up of the coin that shows the finish?

It is "Antique design" not finish, the coin is shiny! The block halving design is considered, by us at least, to be "modern" this is more traditional.



Dang, only 10? Will you be making more? Those look really beautiful.

Nope, only 10 gold coins with this design will exists  Grin

Glad you like the design!
Lower mintage makes the coin a better coin for collectors.
Honestly I really like low mintage coins, I am going to put my eye on those auctions for sure.
Do you already have an idea when the first auction is going to come out and are you going to list all the auctions on the same day?

.


Yes! It will be only one auction for the 10 coins, and it will start this Sunday!


Edit: Forgot to mention that starting bid will likely be 1 BTC, but there will be a reserve price that will cover only the coin minting/design... costs.
545  Economy / Collectibles / Re: [ANN]Crypto Imperator Pure Gold Bitcoin Coin on: December 01, 2016, 01:04:39 PM
These are beautiful coins....really like the design!

Thanks!
Schedule Update:

Currently the coins are on transit to their destination, they will be received tomorrow.

(If everything goes well) They will be assembled on Saturday and auction posted on Sunday.

The auction will run for about 10 days, to make sure that they will be shipped on time for christmas and that everyone has a chance to bid.
546  Economy / Collectibles / Re: [ANN]Crypto Imperator Pure Gold Bitcoin Coin on: December 01, 2016, 11:58:11 AM
The coins looks amazing! I absolutely love the design and really like the hologram showcasing all your coins!
I don't understand what the other holograms are for so perhaps you could explain it to me?  Grin
And please add me to the list of interested parties. Thanks Smiley

Very happy to hear that the design is liked!

The pictures are all from the same hologram, it has three layers so depending on how you look at it you will see the coins showcase / our logo / or the blockchain representation Wink

You've been added to the list!
547  Economy / Collectibles / Re: [ANN]Crypto Imperator Pure Gold Bitcoin Coin on: December 01, 2016, 10:30:23 AM
Please add me to the list, thanks.

Done! Smiley
548  Economy / Collectibles / Re: [ANN]Crypto Imperator Pure Gold Bitcoin Coin on: November 30, 2016, 12:26:08 PM
Can I be added to the list for when the auctions start??

thanks

Just added Wink

I'll definitely participate in the auction. Please make sure you let us know a bit in advance when the auction starts.

Coin looks awesome although not perfect, looking at the circles for the private key.

When you say the coins are still with the mint means that the ones in the pictures are not the ones to be sold?



The coins pictured are the coins that will be sold, I meant that they just sent me the pics as they were finished today, they have to be shipped.
551  Economy / Collectibles / Re: [ANN]Crypto Imperator Pure Gold Bitcoin Coin on: November 29, 2016, 07:53:52 PM
All that had to be said on my part has been said. Please, only Questions/Comments about the coin. Auction has not been posted, and everyone is free to participate or not to participate.

Thanks
552  Economy / Collectibles / Re: [ANN]Crypto Imperator Pure Gold Bitcoin Coin on: November 29, 2016, 07:42:05 PM
Hi.
I would like to have one, I really liked the old fashion design, seems pretty good to me.
Please count me in at the interested list and let me know if any auction has been set up.
Thanks

Will notify you once it goes live!

Again; Please, lets keep the thread to Gold Coin discussion only.

Thanks

Damn those coin look sexy!

Glad you like them!

Auction will likely start nearly the Break-Even price. Yes, they should be funded with 1 BTC like the 1 Million Doge Coin.

I agree.  That lion design is pretty cool.  I like how the heart (nose) and BTC stand out.  I wish it wasn't branded on the back and I wish it could be purchased unfunded, but this is one of my favorite front designs I've seen on a physical coin here.


Thanks for the comments on the design!
So you would like it more to be like a bullion gold coin?

BTW coins are still at the mint (They've been finished today), hopefully they will arrive this week; when they do they will be assembled and auction posted online. If you get one, it should arrive on time for Christmas!
555  Economy / Collectibles / Re: [PRE-ANN]Crypto Imperator Pure Gold Bitcoin Coin on: November 29, 2016, 06:47:13 PM
Damn those coin look sexy!

Congratz on finally getting them and being able to reveal them to the public. I really like the design and the finished product. The hologram is sweet too!

I'm certain you'll have no trouble selling this. What's going to be the base price for these, and, I see they are marked "1BTC". These have to be funded with 1BTC in accordance to your earlier releases, right?

Looking forward to the auction!

Glad you like them!

556  Economy / Collectibles / Re: [PRE-ANN]Crypto Imperator Pure Gold Bitcoin Coin on: November 29, 2016, 06:26:21 PM
Congrats!  Any more visible pics of the coin design that we can look at?

Hi!

Sorry for the delay, but there were some issues with the dies and the mintage took longer than expected. Here is the final result, as well as the new hologram. This coin has a more “Antique Design” but we think it looks really good in gold, also the back has been changed from the previous gold coin.

Expect an auction for the 10 of them soon!

Coin design and mintage has been made by CI, and once the coins are ready, by tothemoonsands desire; assembly and key generation, thats the only relationship with Friends Of Satoshi and tothemoonsands. So all accusations to the owner of the thread, are unfunded and unjustified.

As said on the other thread, if you wish to contact me regarding the matter use email.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA512

Posting this message, as some users are “threatening” me of “making everything public”. I would like to be the first one to do so. So it can be publicly cleared, and no menaces or any type of extortion can occur.

So lets recap on what has happened, I posted the auction for the Anniversary coin. (Coin surrounded by a lot of bad comments, polemics… that have sure influenced here)
Original price was 0.7, Cyclops gets it for 0.6 BTC, I am unable to post during the weekend and the auction is left without an official winner.
Cyclops immediately reposts the coin for auction, waiting for an “instant” flip. He is requested payment txid, as I don’t respond, he posts a fake txid to get the coin sold as soon as possible. I get accused of being Cyclops and having altered auctions and overall being nearly comparable to a scammer such as “Coinographic” (I think we all know that story)

I want to clear now, that during the happening of the auction and later acts, Cyclops was not managed by me: Do I know the person behind? Yes. Do I have a close relationship with him? Yes. Do I approve what has happened. No. Did I made my best to resolve the situation? I think so, @Zepher has been declared winner of the auction, at an even lower price of 0.52 and has the right to claim the coin. Tried to fix things up, but seems funnier to go on a witch hunt…

Look at it this way, should I have wanted to rise price; creating a new account, totally separate, as all the rumors raises from using the same background on some pictures, and using Crypto Imperator to confirm the winner would have been the chosen option, there would have been no need to post any kind of Txid as access to the CI wallet would have been granted. Why has “Cyclops” done it? He is used to flip on all sort of auctions, sales… in and outside the forum so it was a pretty good opportunity.

CI has been partially in possession of the account Cyclops, as it has never been denied in any private message exchanged between the parties. During the “recent” behavior it has not been under my control, due to security and Hit-by-a-bus scenario there are certain shared details between trusted parties, one of them being the person behind Cyclops.


Having multiple accounts has never been a problem here in the forum, the objective is to separate sales different from Coins, having an account that can be managed by anyone.

All the private accusations have been answered with the truth, there are no contradictions. Only omitted information. There is still requests being sent to Cyclops and me regarding the issue, no accuser will be happy with any answer that could be provided so, I am posting this here in behalf of both Crypto Imperator and Cyclops; as Crypto Imperator is the one who is most suffering from the situation.

The accusations I’ve received seem to accuse me of building  a meditated and elaborated Scam, that has been allegedly happening during a long time. Claims of past auctions having had the price inflated due to Cyclops acts, but if you check carefully there are auctions that have ended with much lower price than retail. And have all been honored, with no action of Cyclops.
Many coins were won by “Cyclops”, why? There are people outside the forum who want to bid for my coins, thats the task of the Cyclops account manager.

If you look at past history, not only the one that could be “incriminating”.
As said Cyclops account has only been used for selling. Managed by a very close person. Who has been recriminated for the actions, resulting in bad feedback and not allowance to participate in other auctions nor representations of myself.


Another consideration, calculating the money risked. How much has it been 0.10-0.25 BTC? I’ve been accused of being similar to CoinoGraphic who stole thousands of $? Did not deliver sold coins. Took preorders and never made the coins… CI can’t be accused of any of that, here we are talking about less than 300$. Its something to think about…

My message is, after two years not a single scam accusation, no unhappy customers regarding the coins received.


Sorry for all this rant, it is focused to certain people on the forum. If you, as a customer, user… feel I/CI/Cyclops deserve punishment:

The only new message you will see from this account, is auction for the gold coin. Should the coins not be sold, minimum at cost price, they would be the last coin officially released (And for collectors that would be a great thing) and Crypto Imperator will disappear, at least from the forum. No more coins will be ever released to the public. As you know other members have trusted CI to manufacture their coins, and I will continue to do so if requested.

After this no more comments will be made on the matter, Im just tired of dealing with this, the forum and assumption of guilt and perfidy. I already suffered one witch hunt and any thread open for discussion will go the same way, ending in personal dispute. Call it cowardly if you want, but I know it will all be and endless unfruitful discussion.

I wont take part in any thread against myself/Cyclops, nor will Cyclops do.


To people/customers/friends who have trusted me, and hope will.

The main business, thinking, designing, manufacturing, assembling and shipping coins has been followed with strict quality standards since the beginning. Without a customer complaint left unattended. Have this in consideration when making your mind around this issue, Bitcoin is a breakthrough technology and I’ve risked a lot to build a business around it.

Shit happens, thats unavoidable, people make bad decisions, its how the world works. I am the first to admit it.

If you still wish to make me arrive some communication regarding the matter, use the email cryptoimperator at gmail.com but I can’t guarantee a response. Do not forum PM

As always open to any communication Coin related.

See you on the “Ultra BTC Gold Coin Auction; and with Kind Regards,

Crypto Imperator
