I'd love to see a video of you pouring silver into the mold and then the removal process if you had such a thing.
I'll get one for you this weekend. I have pictures I can upload in a few minutes once I find them, but I can get a video. I had intended on getting pictures of the whole process for those that found it interesting. As you can see in the pics below, it was wet when pouring these. Thats highly frowned upon, a drop of water into a hot crucible of silver will shoot molten metal out like a volcano. The humidity also effects pour quality, so a cold dry day with low humidity and a hot summer day with high humidity will result in completely different bars even with the exact same mold. Not saying the bars didn't turn out well because it was wet, just mentioning that completely replicating a bar is next to impossible. I'll make sure to grab better pics this weekend.

Any plans to make Salty’s Silver Spittoons in the future? Its quite likely. I actually had a custom project request that I'm working on as well. Lots of fun things to make!

Are the loaves actually numbered or is it just a numbering system to match them to the respective photos?
They are not physically numbered, just the holograms are numbered. I figured as personal wallets, not coming prefunded or anything like that, they wouldn't have much of a number related collector's value. The numbering is really just to help me keep things straight, since people are picking which individual bar they want. As far as confirming the number and counterfeiting concerns, I dont really think there will be many considering how each bar is absolutely unique and just a couple of photos and a weight will confirm that. In the future, if I get a press that can consistently number things without causing any flaws, I will do so. Though not for this series of physical wallets.

Last 3 pls!
Any reason why the 4th last one is 0.018? if its a normal loaf ill take it as well!
PMed. #8 and 9 are cheaper just because of their metal content. When finished, the loaves typically end up around 85-86 grams. For whatever reason, #8 and 9 ended up at 70-75 grams. I would have melted them back down, but I didn't notice until after they were completely finished. I figured I'd mark them down from the rest, and see if people are interested. If not, I'll just melt them back down, and they will become 7/8ths of a regular loaf next time around.

DefaultTrust is default. No one bothers to customize their trust settings.
So when you see "Warning: Trade with extreme caution!" on their profiles, you automatically think this is a scammer. But when you look at the reasons, you see words like: shitposter, spammer, etc which I don't think means the person is dangerous to trade with!
How would you like if I label you a murderer but all you did was a traffic altercation? Totally unjust and broken is the trust system.
Because I know the politics behind the scene here. Those trust feedbacks against Quickseller is basically biased and subjective. But to a newbie, it's totally misleading. If you hate him so much, ban him.
That is their problem. the trust system has absolutely no bearing on anything outside of the marketplace sections. Who cares if a guy who is posting about the political climate in Tibet and its relation to Bitcoin's price is untrustworthy to trade with. This is a forum, as long as you aren't disruptive to discussion, you aren't banned. How would you like if I label you a murderer but all you did was a traffic altercation? Totally unjust and broken is the trust system. Just like with feedback, you'd have to back up your claim. If you left someone feedback that said they scammed you for 100 BTC without any reference link, proof, etc, people would just disregard what you say, the same is true for Quickseller's feedback. If you don't believe whatever their feedback says, or you don't care, you are free to trade with them. I've done successful deals with scammers before, I just made sure to use escrow.

Ahoy all, it is finally time for the official announcement with all of the information that you may want. This post will be for general information, and my 2nd post in this thread will be for current loaves for sale. I'm finally past the start, and into beginning production of these wallets (pictured below) each is hand cast and finished in .999 fine silver. Their weights are a bit variable (more on this later) but they are typically over 2.5 Oz of pure silver. I will be asking around 0.02 BTC each, based on the results of the previous auction. This price may vary a bit with metal content and BTC:Fiat price, but I will have each price listed next to the bars in question. I accept BTC, ETH, LTC, BCH, Garlic, Metals, Barter for goats/chickens, etc. Pretty much what I mean is, shoot me a PM if you'd like to trade with a Bitcoin equivalent, or if you'd like to offer me a trade. I'm pretty flexible, and will at the very least entertain any offers. I've had some hilariously interesting trades in the past, so please feel free. Example Photos of the loaves:https://imgur.com/a/OvFA6https://imgur.com/a/JWMFnhttps://imgur.com/a/wz91eHolograms:
There are a million difficult to control factors that change the outcome of how each bar will turn out. For that reason, each loaf will be unique. Each will be created, photographed similarly to the imgur galleries above, and sold individually, so there is no question as to exactly what you will be receiving when you place your order. I will list them for sale as they become available in the post below this OP. Shipping is included in the prices listed. If you are outside of the US, I can still ship to you, however I ask that you make yourself aware of any importation restrictions or taxes that will be imposed. I can't be held responsible for issues that occur in shipment after the packages have left the US, as the USPS stops receiving tracking updates after that point. I plan on documenting each step these loaves go through for anyone interested, and will update here when I get a chance to get photos from start to finish. If you have any questions, comments, hate and discontent, please feel free to let me know. Auction for the first three loaves:https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2887662.0

*edit* I should probably mention that is Silver Nitrate, before I get people sending me PMs asking me how to make meth Best line ever? I figured I should nip that one in the bud before it turned into an awkward situation. You'd be surprised...

I locked a handful, and am leaving the others open. My criteria on deciding was 1) is the topic still reasonably open. For example, if someone asked if they should gamble or invest their 1 BTC in 2015, its reasonable to believe that they probably came to their decision by now and no longer need advice. If they didn't come to their decision yet, there are still a lot of pages to read through, and probably enough information there. The threads I left open were still reasonably relevant, with new posts still on topic and with decent post quality. I'm sure if I sifted through all 300 pages of some of these threads, I'd find someone who already gave a similar response to the newer posts, but I felt they could be left open with just a few bad posts pruned.

All @ 0.022BTC
Current high bid. We are approaching the end of this auction with 1 day and a bit over 4 hours remaining. Just a reminder, the auction ends at 11:59:59PM US Eastern Time on Sunday February 11th. Countdown timer here: https://www.timeanddate.com/countdown/generic?iso=20180211T235959&p0=263&msg=Silver+Garlic+Bread+Loaf+Auction+End&font=cursive&csz=1In relation to this, the pictures below are related to something I'm working on. Hopefully I'll have results in the near future. All done properly, safely, and legally. (also, before people give me flak about the lack of ring stands, everything was very stable. The heating mantle was cast to fit the bottom of the flask so it fits like a glove, and its solid) *edit* I should probably mention that is Silver Nitrate, before I get people sending me PMs asking me how to make meth
