That Dogecoin payout seems rather gimmicky, like fractions of fractions of pennies, but that's Doge for you, it doesn't always have to make sense to be supporting the community...it's kinda like a paid advertisement for it.

The one I have with the spilled gold seems like people would be more interested in it like this:

Aren't defects desirable to coin collectors?  I'll post a pic tomorrow when I have better light so you can let me know, I was thinking that would be the one I should keep.

Someone should have just bought it...it is Paypal after all...they could get their money back for a fake.

I started mining this pretty early from initial launch, and my holdings are literally worth about $5.00 now, so if you want to re-work the code to get this ship sailing again, by all means, make it worth something.  I think the goal should be to get onto Shapeshift.io as quickly as possible, and they are connected with Cryptsy (don't know how much, possibly just API).

That way, Amagi and any other bullion dealer can easily work with KDC, because they can immediately convert it to BTC.

So anything you do to revive any life back into this project, you have my blessing, buyout and lets call it a "Bounty-mine" (Pre-mine sounds solely beneficial to the creator).  Write some code, I'll try to let people know about it.

If the pre-mine was strictly a "bounty-mine" and the addresses and rewards were public and maybe even added to this thread, I think it'd go over better than if it's done at all privately, this coin was supposed to be 0% premine, but clearly that led to a lack of development, so bounties may be better, especially if those bounties included physical gold bullion. 

It'd be awesome to make a physical KDC coin.

Post a pic, message Casascius with a link back to the thread...I'm sure he could tell us, and if it's a quality control issue they might swap you out for another, otherwise it may be worth more because of it.

Many laughs, such fail, so ponzi.  With their tens of thousands of Doge, the thief can buy a package of chewing gum.

Maybe it's unfair to call this enterprising site operator a thief, after all, it's a public service to take these peoples unwanted coins, they are clearly too stupid to keep them.

I can say that because I also gambled on a site like this early on...believe me, kicking yourself for making mistakes on these sites teaches you not to be so gullible next time, welcome to the wild wild west of Crypto, keep your gun handy.

We bought a few and I'm noticing the "dented" rim actually looks like it's from the striking...I could be wrong, but any defects from Mike himself should increase the value, that may even include any scratches or oddities.  I'm thinking of having all of them graded at ANACS, especially since he may be destroying the unsold coins to make next years'.

I also noticed all of the ones we purchased have some level of dent, one actually has gold plating spilling into it on the bottom that must have moved during the electroplating...which is awesome because people definitely like error coins.

Checkout Chicago Bitcoin Meetups and look for Regularly Chat Crypto, I'm going to try to go next month, it's in Schaumberg.

Paycoined, Goxxed...eventually we're going to need our own www.urbandictionary.com

Why is CryptoCoinNews so deeply littered with these advertisements...does Josh Garza have a stake in them?  

Weeding this company out of existence will help the whole community.  Just look at these clowns trying to organize their pump and dump publicly.  

It reflects poorly on the whole community when these douche-bags steal from anyone within it.  Don't do business with these guys, and if you're
holding, don't get stuck holding the bag.
 
As far as any floor is concerned...
They don't have the money to back this up.

I'm really hoping we found our bottom yesterday, because paying for equipment that isn't paying for itself is not fun.  And if we have some of the most efficient ones around...everyone is hurting right now...looking forward to some multi-million dollar farms going dark and flooding the market with cheap rigs...then it's back to home mining!

I wouldn't be surprised to see some sell offs...ebs and flows, it's how everything goes.

Meanwhile in the batcave, supposedly they are not processing requests for changes from bonus Neptune to Titan if you ask now,
they say that they may make this option available once they start processing bonuses, but they could not make a change to my
existing order at this time, nor give me any indication of when they would be processing bonus miners.

The fact that they offered us 2 for 1 on Neptune orders with the option of swapping to a Titan should be actionable up until time
of shipment in my book, because the only reason they offered that was so we didn't cancel our orders in favor of cheaper miners
available on the market that were actually shipping.

 

I'm curious if it is worthwhile also, I'm a little disappointed it just died, then again, I couldn't continue mining it when Litecoin took back profitability, so I'm not terribly surprised, and really it seems like it didn't offer too many new features, just some gimmicky ones.  Some of your proposed changes seem intriguing, though I'm just hoping my months worth of mining is worth more than 5 bucks.

Glad to see this is still alive.  I'll keep an eye on it...and maybe point some power at it again.

If this is your first Casascius coin it is really cool when you first get it...it's one thing when it's on a screen, it brings it all into reality when you're holding it.

I think that's why he was so successful the feds stopped him from making glorified bus tokens with stickers on them, lol.

Bithalo already snapped a few photos.

I'm in for one Pre-order.

I'm pretty excited that less than 2000 will be out in the wild...and from the sounds of it, less than 1000 even.

Once I saw my name added to the google list, I changed my signature

Wow, I totally would have done this if I were in New York...still tempted to go out there later this year for Occupy Peace with Celente:
