I should add... you have a 20% chance of getting a ____ one instead of a blue one. Only two _____ exist. The offer only counts if pre-ordered here.

Two slots will be randomly chosen and the _____ note will be sent instead.

Questions are welcome if the inquirer accepts the fact that the answers may be rather vague.

 

I'll bite.... When you mention the note is manufactured using "greater tolerances," do you mean tighter (more precise) manufacturing tolerances? Could you clarify exactly what features or dimensions are controlled more strictly in these new notes?

In engineering "greater" means wider. So early processes are not always as refined yet. For reference, the past five mystery notes tend to reflect that.

These tend to get better with time as we figure out the logistics and applications.

More hints will be given after every reservation from now on.

Now this sounds interesting. I'd be open to swaps, on the condition that the valuation is fair to you.

I'm surprised by how high the premium is for polymerbit notes on stack bowers

I'll confirm those were secondary market sales to an unknown buyer.

The hype in this auction was sensational across the board.

EDIT: I'm quite bullish on collectibles, will be speaking with some dealers at MIF.

Grading companies and prestigious auction houses are supporting this communities work by advertising to new buyers.

Click on "The List," and it will take you to a Google spreadsheet that includes the quantity printed.

Unless someone else has another source, if so please share. 

Hey boys,

Just curious, how many of each of these notes were minted/Printed?



This is the information have about these notes.

The Scarce.City note was an interesting case, we made those to mostly hand out at their booth (Miami Conf 2023).

Some then ended up in the secondary market on BC and ebay.

What happens in the case of not creating notes with denominations? because they
could never be overloaded.

This whole thing seems the most nonsensical thing ever. If you are not asked to log
the keys or home address whats the point in logging the loading of each note? I cant
see what the authorities can gain from knowing what notes are loaded/overloaded
but not being able to like them with ownership.

The info you are creating is like a "dead end" in a road, it only brings you so far.

We're complying with the letter of the law. It's up to governments to make sound policy and close obvious loopholes.

As we wish to continue operating, this is what we have to do.

Our distributors will not inform us of who purchased what bill, as we're not required to know this.

Thanks for the heads up. A few questions:

1) Does this also apply to all the new notes issued as unloaded/buyer-funded, etc. ?
2) Does this apply only to notes that contain private keys generated by Polymerbits or all notes containing a private key in general? (ie Polymerbit only create/print the note & handles the note to a third party such as MoparMining to generate & apply the priv/pub keys)
3) Could you please elaborate on the "Report overloading (for example 1 mbtc notes containing more than 1mbtc in funds)"? If the note is sold unfunded/buyer-funded, do you have to match the indication on the note (ie "1 satoshi", 1M satoshis", "10€ worth of BTC at 1/1/2025",  "the current value of 1 banana in satoshis   Cheesy" etc.) with the public key, continuously monitor the public address & report overloading?

Thanks

1) Yes, any notes where we generated the keys count.

2) Technically no, but if the notes end up or pass through states where the law is active... we could still face issues. Easier to make a blanket policy and avoid the problem.

3) We need to monitor if the loaded balance ever exceeds the loaded amount suggested on the bill. If it does, we need to be ready to comply with authorities. The EACT, US or HM treasury dept could ask us for these lists. We'll comply with that request by highlighting which serial numbers are overloaded. There will not be a fiat limit, just 1mbtc should not be exceeded on a 1mbtc note.

What we're not asked to do is log private keys or home addresses (thanks to GDPR). Almost all the notes are sold via distributors, and we don't need to know who they sold to.

Hello all,

This act requires us to do the following with all new Polymerbits issued this year onwards

1) Log all Public keys and respective serial numbers
2) Report overloading (for example 1 mbtc notes containing more than 1mbtc in funds)
3) Track loading and unloading of the notes
4) Unloaded issued notes only for the US market

In practice we'll create lists that can be tracked publicly like Cas coins.

Notes issued before Jan 1st 2025 are not tracked unless previously stated


12  Economy / Collectibles / Re: [INFO] [DISCUSSION] Polymerbit Behind the Scenes Thread on: December 27, 2024, 12:13:47 PM
It's been an exciting year for being the scenes projects.

1) We've managed to successfully test colorshfiting inks on our STC substrate.
2) New projects with two security printing companies. Will be spending some time in Asia next year.
3) Brand new full strip holograms are coming on some of the higher end editions.
4) Intaglio printing elements are coming (tactile feel)


The supply chains keep getting increasingly complicated. The Mystery box project was actually an R&D effort to develop them further.

Polymerbits involve companies and supplies from: Australia, The UK, Switzerland, UAE, Germany, Morocco, Malaysia, China, Estonia, Canada, Japan, United States, India, Italy.

Some incredible designers have partnered up with us, you can expect more work coming from Pjotor.

This project has not been forgotten, the website is being worked on in the new year.

We are in dire need of a mobile friendly refresh.
14  Economy / Collectibles / [PSA] Take care when peeling non polymer polymerbits (northern cardinal etc.) on: December 06, 2024, 11:17:33 AM
Hello all,

The only known notes affected are hologram stc notes: birds of the world (northern cardinal, penguin) and mystery 3.

Additional testing has shown that some Polymerbits can have an issue where the private key can be pulled with the hologram if you attempt to peel using your fingers.

This happens due to the glue having bonded with the physical cotton substrate, causing a tear when the hologram is removed. There is no degradation of the QR print.

In all cases we have been able to recover the private key (even with substantial tearing) but it's an unpleasant experience.

This can be avoided by using a utility knife .

I've upped the total production to 60 pcs.

9 pcs will be produced in late December. 51 will be sent to MJ next week.

I've given this series a beautiful security feature upgrade. The price will not change.

EDIT: Two final notes may be sold but will ship later in Dec. One left now.

None left.

Sorry I missed this. Tampa and animals are dear to me as well.

I'd be happy to donate some notes for this auction if it's still possible to add them.

Lot 5 - 0.0025
17  Economy / Collectibles / Re: Swiss Meetup?? on: October 18, 2024, 02:21:29 PM
My suggestion would be Zug (crypto valley) after plan B.

It's on the main axis north from Lugano and is a bit quieter and nicer than Zurich.

18  Economy / Collectibles / Re: (WTS) 2024 special limited edition Hannukah Polymerbit note on: October 03, 2024, 01:24:19 PM
Just an update, I'm waiting for the custom inks to produce this note.

Might as well open ordering again until end of October.

19  Economy / Collectibles / Re: [AUCTION] Polymerbit Mixed: Mystery Note 4, Innsbruck, MIF Maastricht, Prague on: October 03, 2024, 12:48:39 PM
Lot number 2: 1 of 12 notes (2 sheets). v1.3 is the design & polymer generation. Technically, this note should not be in circulation.

Too late now, enjoy it.

-----

Lot number 3 is not the normal MIF note.

This was evidently cut from the green sample sheet. In total, 12 notes were made (2 sheets).

A clear example of the way this forum is composed of people who go above and beyond to help this community.

I applaud this, although I must admit I'm a bit concerned that you may be taken advantage of.

Clear verification of the collectible in question is a must.
