The posts are out of character as well. Reset the password, changed the password, then changed the e-mail. Staked an address (failing the first time), then applied for a signature campaign that they've clearly been aware of for quite some time. When they never cared for signature campaigns in all of their years prior. No red-flags here.

Wait.. Is that even a segwit address?  

Gleb, can you please sign an old address associated with the account, please? That would be helpful.

So, then are Kialaras like humpty dumpty in that they can never be put back together again? That's very interesting. They can be funded, but never unfunded until they are broken and in a way that is romantically symbolic. As long as they can't or haven't been compromised within the design, this is a beautiful and creative way to make a coin that can't be tainted.

For some reason I doubt you will receive a Kialara as a trade for a Ledger, but that is just my highly uninformed opinion on the matter. There's probably some cheaper Kialara's that you could get for it, actually. You also talk about paying within 48-hours of winning and hat makes me wonder if this is supposed to be an auction, or a strangely worded sales thread. Please clarify that for me, because I'm not sure if .035 is your starting price, BIN price or outright sales price.

What does a destroyed bar look like for reference? I have never seen one and maybe this would help me understand. The public address should be easy enough, it's just sitting visible on most coins; my concern is the private key. Has there never been an instance of the private key being compromised without the slab being broken? Some crazy x-ray goggles, or careful replacement, something like that?

I have no idea, that's why I'm asking. I don't know, but I didn't want to place a bid on something that's been all tampered with and I assumed that all had the tab. How do you get at the private key then? What would make it destroy the slab? Even if you wanted to PM me a link to some information that would be cool. I'm pretty illiterate about this kind of thing.

Does that mean that the coin is funded (doubt it), or do you fund them yourself? Just wanting to cover all of my bases.

I was thinking about placing a bid on this Kialara, but then I was looking and I thought to myself "Isn't this coin missing the little red tab?" I don't know very much about collectibles yet, but I thought there was supposed to be a little tab that indicates the private key has never been accessed or something to that affect. Please help me understand if I am wrong or if this has been removed. Might mean I place a bid if I am misunderstanding the situation.

I would happily kick this auction off. A loaded coin with .1 BTC is included and the minimum is .1 BTC, I would be a fool not to participate.

I'll bid .1BTC

Big greenplastic, coming through with the heavy increase, slightly above minimum bid increment, that's gonna shake up this auction. I'm practicing my sportscaster voice, hoping to become the official voice of the collectibles section here on the forum.

I would be willing to sign up as someone's referral, but unfortunately Uber has prejudice against older vehicles. They can't appreciate something that has been taken care of for a couple decades; their loss, and unfortunately I can't show off by ride by delivering food around my ghetto. I hear they pay pretty terrible, too. I think your .005 BTC would be their greatest earnings from this journey, and since this is the case you should put it up into an escrow if anybody takes you up on this offer.

I'm really happy you decided to actually go through with getting these into production. I plan on figuring out my ring size in the next couple days and then ordering one or two of these. As I said previously, I have an eye for the more minimalist designs, and so that leaves me really having a liking for two of the designs in particular. Simple and Elegant, plus the regular BTC Signet are going to be my first purchases. Don't sell out on me.

I have a butterfly knife fade, factory new that has 100% fade pattern on it. It is an extremely rare item, because almost none of the butterfly knives have 100% full fade. The purple tip is huge, you see the entire full range of colors on the knife and it is beautiful. Is this something you would be interested in?

We would be using a reputable escrow, unless you consider me trusted enough to go first and send directly.

I've sat here with the thread open for literally hours, trying to figure out if I wanted to involve myself in more collectibles nonsense. I can't stay away.

I'll play, give me

$675 per card, you have yourself a deal (pending shipping costs, still have to check that). I'll lock the thread, shoot you a PM and get phil involved. I am fine with ETH or Bitcoin, so as you said, whichever you would prefer to part with. Will see if Phil is able to ship them to UK, have also sent a PM to minerjones. Hope we can get these to you without incident.

Are you planning on paying with Bitcoin? I will have to double-check about shipping costs, but that should be in the ballpark for sure. Would you be able to meet me at $675 per card shipped? They include boxes, and I believe I have all of the original rubber plugs for the output ports. Anti-Static bags, and MSI Graphics card boxes are on hand. They've barely been used or mined with, a couple of months of extremely gentle use.

I paid $725 for one 1080TI, so if I could get that or even close to it then I would be pretty satisfied. If I'm not mistaken I think minerjones ships things overseas for a lot of people, but if Phil is able to do that then I would have no issues with that whatsoever. I don't think shipping to the UK would be too terrible, but I don't want to break the bank just to send the thing. I'm sure we can work something out, and low-ball offers don't offend me. Worst case scenario, I dislike the offer and counter, or at least tell you it's too low.

Seems legit. The people on eBay, Amazon and everywhere else are probably trying to make a pretty penny with their sales. I'm mostly just looking for a fair deal and to put this card towards a good home.  You're planning to pay in BTC, or something else?

Still for sale (Currently on auction, here : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4305599.msg38624022#msg38624022 ) . This thread will resume if the auction is unsuccessful. Feel free to PM me questions, offers or whatever else you feel necessary to make your decision about purchasing, or placing a bid on the card.

The Auction ended without a valid bid, so the sales thread has been re-opened. I'm thinking about doing a raffle for the 980ti or one of my 1080tis. Regardless, it's back available for regular sale.

Auction ended without a valid bid, therefore I will just allow it to sit in the sales thread for a bit longer; maybe I will reconsider making it into a raffle. Not sure if anybody would be into that kind of thing, but I guess we'll see. Sales Thread can be found here : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2997850

Locking this thread, but if you are interested in doing a raffle for the 980ti, follow the sales thread, shoot me a PM or do whatever you have to in order to stay updated.

I'm honestly not exactly sure what number would make me box it up and ship it. I'm open to offers, and if it is any kind of reasonable I will happily ship it over to you. I have never shipped anything to the UK, so I don't have any experience in that area. There are people around the forums that are trustworthy that regularly forward packages to other countries, so I'm sure we could arrange something without any problem.

Make an offer, what would you be happy paying for one or two of these? I would let them both go for an extremely good price, if you bought them together.

I actually would prefer that, I haven't had the luck to win a Bitcoin coin yet. If you send me a Bitcoin coin I'll have a nice variety, thank you so much!
Trying to send my shipping info, but privnote is having some trouble for me right now. I will send it soon, but yes definitely a Bitcoin Coin, please, since I already have a Lite Coin on the way.

Looks like my luck is spot on for these daily raffles. Shame that I couldn't have won my kialara, but your raffles continue to bring a smile to my face. Thanks again for the raffle. I'll have quite the stack of the XRP and Lite Coins.
