OP if the cube doesn't show the purity on the cube, you could make a video of yourself testing the cube with nitric acid to help your cause. You can get the testing Kit's from a jewelers shop most likely.

That's just my advice on the situation.

Edit:
Either way you should make a video testing the cube to help show people what it is exactly.

Lets see if OP delivers or he only wanted to make a quick buck...

Based on conversations I had with someone from bitgold.com , I believe this cube could be a real gold prototype, of the gold cubes that bitgold will be selling to customers, only without the purity and serial numbers ..... which i still question ...if they went that far to make them, the purity 99.95 should have been stamped.

Looks exactly like a 1cm photo scale cube.  I call shenanigans on OP.

Yes which a quick test could possibly clear up. It might be lower purity gold for marketing purposes. Giving out 10 grams of gold 99.95 pure seems too good to be true.

If it turns out to be true, bitgold would be an awesome company.

If it turns out they are just gold plated replicas or lower purity gold given out to people for hype in bitgold, it would make more sense as to why the purity isn't stamped on the cube.

Either way I am curious to find out.

I agree...I will be following this company closely....  The gold cubes remind me of the rolo silver rounds, so therefor I want one... just not this one...

One of these would be a nice addition to a collection.

I hope OP test's the cube.

I believe he got it from bitgold but it could be a test of bitgolds honesty or clarity in situations.

Thanks for all the posts. I think I am going to hold onto it for now and see how Bitgold plays out with their launch. I am not in a rush, so my bitgold cube from the contest may be better to keep till after Bitgold launches.

I'll buy for $355 in BTC at preev rate. Any top escrow will be used. Funds will not be released until one week after receiving cube or when I give the okay on it being pure after checking with a pawn shop.

I intend to keep it but need to protect myself here. If interested let me know, no games please (don't think you are a scammer tho). Anyways this is a serious offer. Let me know if interested.

I'm a lover not a hater. I'm a scam buster misunderstood. However, this forum is full of haters which is why you see my trust. They can't handle my success so they try to stop me...BUT NO ONE STOPS MY SUCCESS! ....Find Quickseller annoying? Click the "ignore" button below his name! You're welcome!

$380 and I will pay shipping.

You are selling for below the spot price (~1209 per once, ~$423 per 10 ounces). This is a huge red flag and only strengthens my above concerns

Where did you get that number from?

$1209 is a price for troy ounce. 1 troy oz. = 31.1034768 grams

So $1209/31.1034768 x10= $388.70

oops it looks like I used ounces, not Troy ounces. Didn't know there is a difference (I thought the metric system was simple enough for those kinds of mistakes to not happen).

No worries, common mistake. I was interested in gold market few years back (before Bitcoin), if not that, I wouldn't know the difference myself.

Feel free to lock the thread.

Which weighs more ,a pound of feather or a pound of gold..... a troy pound of gold...HuhHuh?

If placed in vacuum and dropped from 10 m height, which of the mentioned lots will hit the ground first? Cheesy

Let a BBC video explain it for you, testing in the biggest vacuum chamber of the world (used to test spaceships) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E43-CfukEgs
