sad to see people still out money to this scam!

Here's the trading thread, for ref:

I finally pulled a "real" meta-rare, a beryl refractor! woooo

Still can't find card #1A, lol

Many collectors have also put away at least one sealed box, so those high-value redemptions could be locked away for a long while. I hope there is some way they might still be redeemable ten, twenty, or even thirty+ years from now... The value of sealed boxes in the long-term could depend on that.

This is a great idea, because not only will it increase the rarity of those cards for true collectors, but it will greatly increase visibility of this project among the regular non-crypto-nerd population. If we want the cards to eventually hold a lot of value like old original Garbage Pail Kids cards, we need the public to be aware of the project as much as possible. Also consider putting them in geo-cache prize boxes, because those prizes are fun to find and they get traded around a lot.

> donate them to their children's play area

I think this would actually be a really cool way to "burn" the base sets that people turn in for the special cards, and it would be interesting to see how many of those old cards given to children show back up over the years, maybe they could be given an extra stamp to identify them, and a good lamination.

Titan Bitcoin. After "peeling" a sticker from one of their coins to redeem 1 btc, I was surprised to find only a 2FA code, not a private key. Tim Fillmore, president of Titan Bitcoin, informed me that this coin had been "already redeemed". The Titan Bitcoin "coin verification" site, however, shows the coin as "not yet funded", here:
https://www.titanbtc.com/verify/vFZKfWyJ/

This indicates that Titan Bitcoin has multiple databases tracking the states of their "2FA" coins, which are externally physically identical to their coins that actually hold private keys, and that there is corruption in their database. Tim Fillmore is telling me one thing while the coin verify site tells me a different story, and I'm out 1 btc. I have been scammed, and Tim Fillmore is implicated. That's all I can say here, as I have contacted the police and the FTC and they have started an investigation.

Also, a note for Tim: When picking someone to scam, choose somone who is not the compliance officer at a currency exchange. I am legally obligated to report you as a fraud suspect to certain government organizations now.
