Yeah ... it seem a lowest denomination would be pleased more users.. That's make sense.. let's see how goes the things in this poll , but apparently we walk to a 0.1 BTC face value ..  88,9 % seem prefer 0.1 BTC at the moment.. Voted 0.1 BTC0.1 BTC is actually affordable for most users here.  I voted 0.1 BTCIn line with the sentiment above. Look forward to the next coins mr defcon!  |

Whereabouts in UK are you?
I ask as it seems wise to get an independent viewer to confirm the status.
I would be happy to help out if you're nearby or reachable without too much grief.
That or someone else reputable could possibly help out.
Just a thought

When watching a video of Mike making the coins once, I saw bare hands/fingers being used to place the Holo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-NyzDY7NUOo^^ your answer? Seems the manufacturing process was NOT sterile - Note the upload date. Use this as a reference for coins where the holo is at issue. Coins around this period included ? QUOTE A short clip of applying holograms to Casascius physical bitcoins. Helpers are placing private keys from a jar onto the coins and also peeling the holograms onto transfer tape. Another helper puts the coins on a flatbed scanner for later identification and funding." Thats a LOT of handling.... People have been so focussed on the Slabs and capsules yet it seems sensible to wind back to the very start of the creation process and look for early issues. To the point that a coin has even yet to be struck. How were the blanks handled? How were they moved around? How many hands/fingers touched them throughout the lifecycle of creation? etc etc. Think like that and I believe you will find you answers far faster No disrespect to Mike in any way, but he wasn't the Royal Mint. I would describe the process of his creating coins as semi pro hobby craft in the early days. Issues would easily creep in as appears to be the case with the early coins and their holos. I like your thinking viz. The amount of times coins must have been handled back then whilst going through the assembly process must be high. These were not that valuable back then, so I can see why this happened. This occurrence of spots may very well be because of oils and residue left behind after assembling. |

And....... Today my package arrived!!!! Very happy Prozak. Thank you. Now.... to find some nice vodka!!! Can I use a high proof grain alcohol such as "Everclear"? Very high proof of 190 Thanks Everclear is the perfect thing to mix with We don't have it available in the UK, think it might have something to do with the strength... |

Anyone want to do some testing on what caused this? It's a different issue than the casascius spotting but a hologram integrity issue nonetheless. This a pic prior to redemption. I peeled halfway and the private key was unaffected. Pre-redemption:  Post-redemption:  Damn, you're having some awfully bad luck with your coins Is that a CryptoImperator hologram? |

@bitkilo - This is a first edition, that was only available for a very short time when they were raising pledges for equipment to manufacture the parts for these. You can't buy this one now.

How much work goes into finding addresses with 7 chosen firstbits? Namely, is it a time consuming mission with 7? I've never tried! It can take me up to a month depending on a few factors. That is with running 5 GPUs. Most of the time it is only about a week though. I don't mind it for BTC because I'm running vanitygen 24/7 anyway, but I requested only 6 character vanity addresses for the alts because I have to run those exclusively for this project. Thank you for the explanation sir, much appreciated Knowing that, I am more than happy that this personalised item represents value for money. Now to think about my vanity gen... |

Do you mean that the first ten to respond with a bid of 0.31BTC will get a set?
I don't want to exclude TheNewAnon, so he gets the first one at 0.3 BTC. There are 9 remaining. Every bid can be considered a purchase starting with 0.31 BTC. 0.31BTC |
|
|
|
Starting now at 0.3 BTC, I will honor every auction "bid" as a prototype purchase (limit 10).
Do you mean that the first ten to respond with a bid of 0.3BTC will get a set? Edit: if yes - 0.3 BTC |
