Thanks for all your interesting ideas... It must be fun... I will do 40 coins at least. If we have less than 40 interested people, I or mj will keep the coins in a vault... or auction them later. A generous forum member offers us these nice holo for the "Scam Coin" serie 2.   Being able to access the original holos is another scam in itself. Makers generally guard their holos to the death. mint yogg's goofy bearded face in glimmering .999. Ahh, love to see original holos for this one. Haha, can't agree more with your statements - scamming the scam, ouhh yeahhh. And indeed very suprised to see these surfacing. Quality holograms usually have certain security features that makers will try to protect at all costs.

the point of these coins has been lost if the idea is that all coins be loaded and remain loaded.
the theme is "REKT"
the winner is in fact the "scammer" if you think about it.
SBF took everyones money.
what was coin one? everyone lost their funding except the winner - "SBF".
yogg randomly swept cards removing balances - some were able to beat him to it.
what is coin two? coins will be randomly swept - if you are lucky you can be the winner - "Yogg". if you are fast enough you can save your funds.
the coins - the process to funding/not funding/sweeping etc is to follow the theme of the conmen who the coins are modeled after.
Now that all said and done.
A 3rd coin modeled after Titan and their 2FA shenanigans - if we were to do that, I would say all the coins should be funded at (what is the amount he gave? 42%?) the same percentage Tim is paying out - with one coin getting the rest - the winner would be "Tim"
Regarding your fast & lucky idea with the yogg coins, maybe there is a way to use the timelock function to at a certain blockheight automatically transfer yogged coins' balances to the one winner (yogg) coin? And in regards of SBF, yes he may have taken everyone's money but not everything of everyone’s money. Meaning people will receive back a (tiny) amount of their funds when the remaining crypto is shared with the accounts affected by the scam (with the help of an official liquidator). Which would have been perfectly reflected by a low load for rekt coins. Anyway, I am in favor of creating a nice collectible instead of trying to stick to close to reality (which wasn’t the case anyway for the FTX coin as explained above) and therefore for all coins to have a tiny bit of load.

For those that asked about pure silver coins they are in the works..... coin of the left is pure silver! coin or the right is brass  Fantastic, totally looking forward to a silver version. Do you have an estimate on when these will possibly come out? don’t want to miss these. The designs and detail here... Just incredible.

Confirming interest in this, ideally with matching serial to the ftx coin.
two things: 1. How about this time go with the route Krogoth, 2stout and others opted for in the ftx thread? Rect coins still with a tiny amount of funds, so buyers do actually hold a true loaded Bitcoin collectible?
2. I’ll repeat my concern regarding the fact this is giving a scammer extra immortality by a dedictaed collectible coin. Personally I am fine with it because of the trade-off which is something good and unique coming out of the scam. But would be interested on other collector’s input on this.

I'd be down for one of these coins to continue the series.  Me too. Ideally same serial as the FTX coin. Even though slightly mixed feeling of „immortalizing“ a scammer with this thing even more. „all cold kuntz“ always cracks me up. (not so) Good (not so) old memories.

Haha, wait what? You peel it, film a video and in half a century (I am guessing here) your kids peel *again*? Confused but fun. Anyone peeled yet? I guess most won't but even if you do and it’s a rekt one, the pain and shame might let you to not make it public.  Let me rephrase it . Year 2080 , my kids have will have the right to Peel it for me , I be dead by that time . so I will be recording a video present time , " HELLO KITTIES , IF YOU SEE THIS VIDEO NOW BC ITS THE PERFECT TIME TO BE ALIVE , YOU DAD LOVE YA , I MIGHT NOT BE THERE FOR ALL OF YA NOW , BUT I WOULD LIKE YOU KIDS TO PEEL " SAM SCAM US " COIN EJJEE . WIN/LOSSES / THIS IS JUST A GAME , YOU MIGHT FIND 0 BALANCE OR SATOSHI GIFTED SATS FROM UNCLE SAM LOL . . If so use it wisely. _______________________________________________________________________________ _________________________  Ahhh sure that makes total sense. For some reason I assumed you'd be peeling while recording a video. Now, a cool idea, with such a low winning chance it could also cause some disappointment, though. Maybe add a few moonbits chips to the stack to soften the impact in case of rektness.

Waste of money.
1) For a desktop PC all you have to do is pop the top and add in a USB card. 2) They are still plastic, with time and effort you can pull one out. 3) For the determined person it's get laptop, take off cover, un-solder the port (only 4 wires on USB 2) and solder in a new one. But at that point you might as well just pull the drive out
Most if not all PCs can disable the USB ports in BIOS and you can also set a BIOS password so that cannot be changed without the password.
-Dave
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the easiest way to reset a BIOS password still to just remove the mainboard battery? Or was that only possible 20 years ago and things have changed? not up to date, but most likely BIOS pws are still quite easy to circumvent I would guess.

Right after winning an auction I was contacted by "minerjones" on Telegram to congratulate me... ✂
this also happened to me once and i was contacted by a 'supposed' minerjones. of course i ignored the whole message and deleted it immediately and it was also bad for the scammer that i had already shared some messages with the real minerjones, so i was able to identify him correctly. maybe minerjones should make his real telegram username public here, so that no users fall for all the scammers... Sure.. but people still need to be weary, as something simple as someone using a "0" versus an "o" for a name like "min0rj0nes" or maybe adding an "s" to the end, which I have seen  Or they add a period at the end or a space.... My username and account name are both the same: @minerjones Same as here.....  I would like to add that there are symbols in other languages with a totally different ascii code that can look the same as the letters we are used to in English. There are probably plenty of @minerjones permutations. Generally speaking it’s good practice to be a slight nuisance and double check by requesting a bitcointalk dm from the correct username id to verify. Did this with liquid and a few others before trusting external bitcointalk communication.

Zählt man aber meine 4 LTR a 0.04 BTC dazu sieht es wieder anders aus  Wobei der 4. ja noch läuft  Die Stats können sich sehen lassen.  LTR = Long Time Run? Gab's da bisher überhaupt Blockfunde? Würde gerne mehr Statistiken von Leuten die hier bei der Blockparty mitgemacht haben sehen. Das ist schon mega krass. Aber wohl ähnlich wie ein Lottteriegewinn. Mit dem Unterschied, dass hier zumindest der EV besser ist (naja, je nach Stromkosten natürlich).

1st french digital stamp available. https://www.laposte.fr/timbre-nfthttps://nftimbre.comsnapshot https://ibb.co/rF5g9yTSome tech datas - account needed - 100000 ex, 8€ each - no tier ie no rarity effect lke the CS1 colored NFT - tezos blockchain - you get a tezos adress associated with your account but not the private key - payment with fiat only - no postal fees if you buy 2 stamps. Not sure if this apply for customer oversea I expected N Mandela on the stamp. My mistake. Thanks for sharing these....I like the NFT designs as well...are they gooing to come out with any physical counterparts stamps? Of course they will. As stated above ' no postal fees if you buy 2 stamps. Not sure if this apply for customer oversea'. Expect a few weeks before delivery especially if you live outside EU. Remember : in France, our website are in french only  For non native speaker, i would suggest to add TWP (translate Wen Page) extension to your browser. I dunno, a mintage of 100k without a rarity tier system is kinda off-putting. Still, generally speaking it's nice to see physical items making use of a decentralized blockchain one way or another. But the design...  There are so many talented artists out there, I don't get it. Actually, taking a second look the artwork itself is okay, but text, QR-code etc. just stands out in a very bad way. It's interesting to see this thing on the Tezos network, I wonder if it's a sponsored thing. Haven't heard much about Tezos recently, their initial project had some good approaches back then.

Cool coin, even though ofc in slightly sad condition. Still an amazing piece of Bitcoin history. [...] Starting bid is 0.6 BTC, 0.1 BTC increments. [...]
You can set-up your auction however you like, but just saying bid increments of 0.1 are pretty rough. 0.01 to 0.02 would probably generate more action and it's still junky.

Pretty cool piece that went under the radar regarding Max's releases I think. Also something to notice: The color of the bar is actually quite silver-ish, in the photo it looks more like some valyrian steel.
