[TEASER] Something new coming, and you all might be interested in...

I agree they really need some better PR on the coin. BTCC just made a nice clip for the titanium coin. https://youtu.be/KkmYwsd-VzU

BTCC_Official, can you share a bit more of info about the coin: price, material, release date, if it will be a loaded coin ....

Sorry for the delay; we've been swamped with making the coins to fulfill all of the orders!

Only now, I'm getting to reply to the questions.  :-)

Limited-time introductory prices:
- 0.10 BTC for the single coins
- 0.15 BTC for the coin in box
- 1.00 BTC for the set of 10 coins (no box)

(you'll have to add bitcoin value and shipping&insurance to this, during checkout process.)

Material is Titanium!  You like it?

We were planning to ship today (Monday), but still swamped with last-minute packaging details.
Will aim to ship out tomorrow (Tuesday), May 31!

thanks,
Bobby

Here it is! #PhysicalBitcoin from BTCC Mint. 1 BTC in Titanium, newly mined. #InCryptoWeTrust

Come back tomorrow for more photos and pricing details.

Will the coins be numbered (as in serials) or unnumbered?

For this series, the coins will not be individually number, other than the fact that they are already properly (sequentially) numbered from the bitcoin blockchain.

Here's the more detailed explanation:

Unlike other physical coins, all of our V Series coins contain bitcoins straight from the bitcoin block reward, the so-called "coinbase" transaction.  As you know, right now, before the block halving, the reward is 25 BTC (plus fees) per block, so we're filling 25 coins for each block mined.

and since each block has a unique block height, then your BTCC Mint coins will indeed have a unique sequence number.  Just look at the block height, and the position of your coin address within that first transaction.

Basically, the coins are still serially numbered, and the best part: this is done via the public blockchain, with full proof. 

We will soon post the full list of all transactions mined into this Titanium V Series, One Bitcoin.

If you like individually numbered coins, maybe we'll think about that for a future product!  :-)

thanks,
Bobby

2 more questions (while you're still online ).

- For how long will the introductory price stay?
- What's the total number of V-Series coins that you will produce?

[BTCC_Official]

That coin looks very nice indeed.
Will the coins be sold funded or unfunded?
Any information on pricing at this current time?

Thanks!  We like the design very much as well.  :-)

All of these coins will indeed be funded.  This is what's special about the V Series... they will ALL be funded from the block reward, the so-called "coinbase" transaction of each block, as the first transaction in the block.  This can only be done by a large miner or mining pool, which is why this has never been done before for a physical bitcoin.  

See my previous post about the pricing.

Enjoy!

thanks,
Bobby

Can you confirm its funded with 1 BTC?  

Is it numbered and what is the total mintage?

See my previous post about "numbered" coins and serial numbers.

Regarding total mintage, we haven't confirmed exactly how many we will make yet.

However, our plan is to discontinue this coin model after the block halving.
This means that we will only be making this coin, the 2016 One Bitcoin, Titanium V Series, up until the block halving in July.
After that, we will make a new coin, which will be funded by block rewards of 12.5 BTC each.

This means that not only is this series limited, it can't possibly be made anymore after July of 2016.
After block halving, the newer coins will have 3 stars instead of 2 stars....

Hope this makes sense!

thanks
Bobby

When is the platinum coin coming out?  wink

Ok, I would take 10 of them in box.  Darn, not shipping to the US? 

Sorry for the delays...

We were planning to ship them out today (Monday), but we've been swamped all weekend, to produce the coins to fulfill all of the pre-orders.
We're now aiming to send out the first batch tomorrow, Tuesday, May 31.

As for shipping to the USA, we're under the impression that US law does not allow us to sell these coins and ship into the United States.  Obviously, we're disappointed if that's really true.  We're actively investigating to see if this is indeed the case, or if there's a decent work around.  Until then, we're not directly shipping to USA customers for now.

(If you have more information and would like to share with us, or have good ideas, please email us at mint@btcc.com.)

thanks,
Bobby

Hope you like the video as much as I did!

Our team did a wonderful job with this video.  Kudos to a great marketing team at BTCC!
I'm very proud of all of them, especially the director!

:-)

(Is there a way to inline the video player here on the forum, so that everyone can see it?  Or is that bad practice?)

thanks,
Bobby

Introductory prices will be available until June 15, or until we sell out our current batch!  :-)

See my previous post about total mintage.
In essence, we will only make a limited number of this edition, and will make a different edition after the block reward halving that will happen in July.

So go out and get your 2-star coins now before they sell out completely!  

thanks,
Bobby
