Bitcoin mining is now a specialized and very risky industry, just like gold mining. Amateur miners are unlikely to make much money, and may even lose money. Bitcoin is much more than just mining, though!

I think its only worth getting in physical form if its done professionally vs something I could photocopy myself. It may be a challenge selling a physical version if the digital one is still free. How about a ultra edition signed by many of the coin makers? I collect autographs too, so it would be a perfect fit for me.

Good idea. I'll sign 100 copies of the title page (maker's page) or the Bitcoin Penny page. No problem. I'm always happy to help. Regards, Christopher @ The Bitcoin Penny Co.

Yes, It would be professionally done with a soft cover; no stapling color prints It has been quite a while indeed; I meant to release everything in January but ive been too busy to get everything in order.

Thats a cool idea, but honestly the logistics of it are daunting. I dont know how many people would be that interested in the autographs, and there are a huge number of manufacturers to deal with. Im going to have to pass up on this suggestion, even though it would be sweet.

I havent yet finalized where I will have it produced, but I expect to have it done in 'standard color' for an example of what the spreads will look like, see my first book at www.coinfirm,org The spreads will be very much similar, but I have not yet designed the cover. I will look into offset printing.

My intention all along has been to make the book freely available at coinfirm.org As such, 'leaking' wont be an issue; im putting this out there for free. the print edition is just an ;extra special' aspect

I am curious who the 8 good souls are ... I am 1 of them. Happy to state publicly.
I think this is will be a great resource for the community, and I am surprised that more than 8 arent either interested in a hard copy first issue of the book, or dont want to support the project so that it happens
Wondering how we can collectively help to make it happen, as it would be a crying shame if it didnt
It seems unlikely that given the duration that has passed that another 17 are gonna come forward.
Bottom line ... what do you need to make it happen Elianite ?
As we have PM'd before, happy to assist in proof reading drafts, seeing if there is anything else I (we all ?) can do

Elianite, sounds like a very cool idea and I wish you great luck with it.
If you make a high quality version on Casascius coins only, i'm in - seriously, i'd sign up today.
I'm not a fan of any of the other physical bitcoins. To me, they're all just copycats of Casascius and don't hold a fraction of value to the original. They're cheap imitations of the original. If I'm offending anyone, it's not intentional, just my true feelings.
As for your book, can you share any early prints or screenshots so people know the general look of what they'r buying? IF there's anything additional I can do to help, please let me know.
If you make a Casascius only version I'd also pay a premium if it was signed by Mike Caldwell. Cheers!

As far as I remember that was discussed before (having the coin creators sign the books). It may be in this thread or in an earlier one. You're entitled to your views on the coins but I think even just getting Mike alone to sign 20 books or so would be quite difficult. He may not necessarily want to and even if he did, how would shipping work from there? I guess if you buy one you could always send it to Mike with a prepaid return envelope and ask him to sign your copy. With regards to a Casascius only book, the original eBook only talks about Casacius. Creating a new one in paperback on Casascius may not be successful as even with all these other coin manufacturers there doesn't seem to be enough people who are willing to pay for one.

You send the person the page/ book with a Self Addressed Stamped return envelope in your package.
I did it all the time years ago for celebrities.

Is the new crowdfunding replacing the original 25 books?? Thanks It does not; each of these reservations is valid. As I have stated, up to 100 of these books may be produced in the 1st printing. The 25 is what I want to reach, as a minimum, in order to print. If lets say 20 of these are reserved here and 7 are reserved on the crowdfunder, I'll print 27 books, with the unreserved numbers going to the StartJoin reservations

After some deliberation, I have changed plans slightly. As of now, I do not intend to post the entire book on-line for free. I will be selling a small batch of pre-ordered physical copies, and some time after publication, I will offer the eBook version on Amazon and potentially other sites including my own ( www.coinfirm.org). I have not yet determined the price at which these will sell. The book will have its own ISBN number, and be in all ways a legitimate, self published work. Also, I will be cutting out 'ads' from the book. No more ads; this is a professional, specialized publication and not some magazine. If you would like to be a big-ticket sponsor, contact me as I may be able to offer a sponsorship to one single company. I will, however be adding a coin information source and gallery to my website, but this will not come any-time soon. The reason for this change is twofold. Firstly, a website is a better medium to present the information. Secondly, this project has grown to be a much larger undertaking then originally planned; from a casual 'industry directory/magazine' type book a serious, academic work. Perfect Bound, full color, shipping included*, signed, and numbered (up to 100 maximum) physical copies remain for sale as a pre-order at the price of 70 GBP. Contact me to make a pre-order, or do so at https://www.startjoin.com/CoinFIRM2There are NO plans to sell physical copies after publication, so this may be your only chance.

Did you have a professional edit the book already? If not, toss me a PM and we may be able to work something out! I ask as I see tons of errors in your writing here, and being a self-published book, a lot of authors skip that integral process before going to print.

Did you have a professional edit the book already? If not, toss me a PM and we may be able to work something out! I ask as I see tons of errors in your writing here, and being a self-published book, a lot of authors skip that integral process before going to print.
As a literary snob, I second the idea that all authors need an editor. As an example, I remember reading letters written between Mark Twain and his publisher. In one letter regarding Twain's first draft of Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, the publisher gently reminds Twain that the girl's name (which first appeared in Twain's mega-hit The Adventures of Tom Sawyer) is Becky, not Betty. Good luck with the book. I can't wait! Regards, Me

Good luck with the book. I can't wait! Regards, Me I'm honestly baffled by how many books come out with errors. Even the Harry Potter books come riddled with various issues. Major newspapers are now error-ridden, and even sites/magazines like Forbes. It's almost like writing properly is a thing of the past, and people just throw things down on paper and skip editing altogether to save money. That said, I've actually heard similar stories about multiple major authors. An interesting thing about Stephen King is that he only goes through one draft of his books (no rough draft) and has no editor. Even so, I've yet to find any issues with his writing (though I also don't heavily read his books, so it's just spurts here and there). In any case, thanks for your support/confirmation (maybe not directly, but indirectly) for what I do!

I will certainly do this. Things are still quite a way's from completion, especially as I have begun to explore additional avenues. I am exploring the idea of taking an academic approach to the book, using the information in it to explain not only what has been created, but how the creations relate to the philosophies, ideals, politics, and other diverse 'values' that are at the core of bitcoin, and how events such as price swings, government actions, and exchange shut-downs are reflected in the coins. I dont fully guarantee that this will be the final form, but what I can promise is quality over speed of completion, and a very interesting read. Ofcourse, the majority of pages will be devoted to the coins in the same way as my 1st book on Casascius. It may be that I will increase the page-count even further. I have even considered academic publishing, but the truth is that such things can take a year from submission to publication, so the current intention is to self-publish as I have no interest in waiting (or making any of you wait...) for that long. I would love to hear thoughts on this.

I would love to hear thoughts on this. Ahh, I thought it was pretty much ready to go, . Academic publishing is one of the hardest things to get into -- there's a lot of politics surrounding it and it's more of a "who you know" than a "what you know" deal. In any case, when you're ready to roll and are prepared for the final stages, definitely get in touch with me and we'll see if we can work something out on the editing side. To put it into perspective, I put the editors at Forbes, Fox, CNN, MSN, etc. to shame (it's amazing the basics they skip over, and it leads me to believe there's actually no editorial process at any of the major outlets anymore).

Elianite: This is an ambitious project and I can't help but throw my BTC.00000002 in:
As you mentioned, with the number and frequency of coin releases, this book will be outdated the second it comes off the press. The route that I think you should consider taking (if not right now, maybe in the future) is publishing everything on your website for free (in html, not pdf!) and then releasing an annual hard copy for collectors and people who simply prefer dead tree versions. They will sell just as well, cause collectors gonna collect. Going this route would make your site something people can rely on for mostly up to date and accurate info (assuming you stay on top of it - good luck!) and would it make the source for a broad overview of coins available. Making your site something collectors can rely on for being comprehensive and accurate should be priority #1, imo. Anyway, just an idea - best of luck.

Also something like the Beckett publication that baseball cards used with recent prices ..Im sure it would be hard to maintain but a reference for prices would be nice for coins...

You are very right; and I greatly appreciate your 2 sats. I may very well make a sort of reference website. Ofcourse such an undertaking is another big project entirely, so It will be some time.. Some of the (small) profits of this book can be put towards the new site. Obviously the time commitment is the main factor, as I work fulltime+.

EXCITING NEWS!
I'de like to formally introduce Matthew Rippon , known as m_rippon on these forums
He is a Department Member of the Queens University of London, and is co-authoring this book.
Mr. Rippon has gained a great interest in the physical crypto coin phenomenon, and contacted me to conduct an interview for an article he was writing for the International Journal of Entrepreneurship and Innovation. I have since had many discussions with him about the subject, to the point that he accepted my invitation to co-author the book which is an extension of my first work; The Casascius Guide.
As an up and coming academic, he has been conducting a thorough analysis of everything involving physical crypto coins, and will no doubt be asking many questions. With Matthew's, the book is being transformed from a simple catalogue to an intriguing work analysing the ideas, values, culture, and community behind the physical crypto coin phenomena and forming various theories about it. This will make it the first academic work analysing this area; with virtually all research publications about Bitcoin being technical.
We will be posting regular updates about progress and some sneak peeks at the ideas we are exploring.
Mr. Rippon has a PhD in Geography, a Masters of Science degree in Globalization & Development, a Master of Art degree in Asian Studies, and a Bachelors degree in International History. I'm sure everyone will find Matthew both an excellent researcher and writer.
As mentioned before, up to 100 copies will be produced and shipped to those making a pre-order here! If you'd like a copy, just message me.

Just one question ... with what sounds like changing scope What is the timeline going to be for release ? Changing scope combined with an ever changing landscape of new coin releases .... at some point the scope has to get frozen. Plus from a stated point in time, any new coins just get put in version 2. Just so that version one can get completed (and in my hands !!) http://qmul.academia.edu/MatthewRipponShowing that he is serious about researching this area Hopefully the joining of forces of 2 similar threads pushes this over the line Elainite - My offer still stands for any proof reading, pictures of coins, details on the gradings recieved for coins etc etc. Just shout.

The book will comprise of three sections: an Introduction (which I will write), the Catalogue (written by Elias), and a Conclusion (written by me). The bulk of the book will be the Catalogue. It will be replete with descriptions of the coins, photographs, details about the producer, and intriguing anecdotes. The Introduction provides a context to the catalogue while the Conclusion will explore some of the common themes inherent in the production of physical bitcoin. It is, indeed, generous of Elias to refer to me as a "co-author" although I suspect I will provide 15% of the content at most. I consider my audience to be the "intelligent layperson". I do not write in a jargon-laden and obscure style. My intention is to be scholarly and rigorous yet accessible and engaging. I've been interested in Bitcoin since mid-2012. I attended the London Bitcoin https://sites.google.com/a/bitcoin2012.com/homepage/speakers conference in September of that year. In terms of physical bitcoin, in the last two months, I have spoken with Denarium, HardBTC, Lealana, Microsoul, TGBEX and, of course, Elias. My goal is to speak with all the main producers. I've also read Jonathan Frammingham's fascinating Coin Making Guide: From Sketch to Strike https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1089977I have researched into the major players in the industry, the aspects of a coin which make it valuable (precious metal content, serial number, number in batch, rarity, and grade rating) and the regulatory environment (e.g. FinCEN, MSB, money transmitters). In doing so, I've learned about a number of essential industries such as the graders (e.g. ANACS), mints, and hologram manufacturers. Currently, I own two coins. A Denarium 0.1 BTC (2015) and a Microsoul Silver 0.01 BTC (2014) which arrived today (thanks Matthew!) Smoothie has kindly sent me two brass coins which I look forward to receiving. Just one question ... with what sounds like changing scope
What is the timeline going to be for release ?
Changing scope combined with an ever changing landscape of new coin releases .... at some point the scope has to get frozen. Plus from a stated point in time, any new coins just get put in version 2. Just so that version one can get completed (and in my hands !!)
I agree that we have to 'freeze' the research at a designated date. Elias and I have spoken about this. We have no plans to obsess over whether we have included every coin from every producer. Our view is that this is an ever-changing industry. There can, as you note, always be a second edition. The key, of course, is to publish the first edition! This will happen - soon!

Are details on the gradings received going to be included in the book? I'm curious, since I just received a few 2015 Bitcoin Penny™ error coins from ANACS that graded at MS67. Regards, Christopher

Regards, Christopher Alot of coins haven't been graded at all, and others only once or twice so it is a stretch to give the 'highest grade' the same respect as for a casascius coin. With that said, I will certainly look to include that info whenever possible.

What is the timeline going to be for release ?
The book will be completed, printed, and sent out in 2015. Full stop.However, it is important for everyone to realize that writing a 200 page book is no easy task, especially when it is not something that full-time can be devoted to, and especially when it is of an academic nature. We will absolutely focus on Quality over speed. Producing good, quality work is not something that can be done as a summer side-project. We will not be sending out an error-ridden and incomplete work in any circumstance. That said, the aim is to have 90% of text written by mid September, with some time to sort out photos, formatting, editing, and citations. Objective is to have the final copy sent out for printing by the end of October. An issue that needs addressing is photos. What photos can be used, and what if the owners of photos aren't responsive or cooperative? I obviously I don't want to get sued for using the wrong photos, though I want to provide the best available photos of every coin. with so many coins, defunct mints, and many available photos, its quite the logistical exercise. I very much appreciate everyone's offers to help in editing and providing photos. These offers have not gone unheard. Right now, the actual writing is the priority and will remain so for another month or two at least. Once the time comes, I can use all the assistance offered.

Are you focusing on mass production or are you planning to touch on one-offs and prototypes for the various producers? More in depth history of their products.

Are you focusing on mass production or are you planning to touch on one-offs and prototypes for the various producers? More in depth history of their products.
Originally, my plan was to designate 1 page for EVERY coin ever made. Thats not really practical, and would cause most pages to be quite empty due to little info available. Take Antana Coins http://antanacoins.com/ ; would you want one full color page for each of them? Very innovative coins, but I simply don't have 10+ pages of material to write about them. Such a 'database' would be more appropriate in a web format; which is in the plans for my website www.coinfirm.org sometime in the future. That said, I'll make every attempt to talk about every notable manufacturer & mass-produced coins. Small batches will certainly get attention as well. As for individual prototypes; it would be a case-by-case. point is; if it is interesting and relevant to the big picture, I believe it belongs in the book. Each page of the catalogue section will likely have 1 or 2 coin 'profiles' (depending on how much I have to say) including photos, info about mintage, material, denomination, etc. and also a text portion which will include analysis or info about the things such as the art, its manufacturing process, any interesting anecdotes or observations relating to that coin in any way including history. It may also compare features to other coins and point out what other coins it seems to be inspired by from a design aspect. This isn't an exhaustive list, there's lots of things that could be written. I'll also have individual pages for 'crypto mints'; established manufacturers who have created several coins. I will discuss the history, ideas, and inspiration of the manufacturer and compare them to others. I may include interesting facts, personality, the 'why', and other observations and thoughts.

An issue that needs addressing is photos. What photos can be used, and what if the owners of photos aren't responsive or cooperative? I obviously I don't want to get sued for using the wrong photos, though I want to provide the best available photos of every coin. with so many coins, defunct mints, and many available photos, its quite the logistical exercise.
Obviously, every photo that Elias and I did not take will be acknowledged with the person's real name or forum name (as they desire). For example: Alan Archer (p.24, p.56), Bob Black (p.12, p.121 top, p.122 left), "charlie999" (p.78, p.99 left, p.187, p.199)... and so on. And then: We were unable to contact the owners of the following photographs. If you own the copyright, please contact us and we will update the acknowledgements in the next edition. p.32, p.66 left and right, p.100 top...and so on.

Physical copies will be produced; up to 100 (likely much less). You can pre-order by sending me a PM and I will provide payment info. these books will likely not be for sale after printing, but it is possible an ebook will be availible on amazon, etc at some time much later. A book costs 70 £ which includes shipping to NA & EU.

For example, what happened to Antaui and Jinn Bitcoin? In both cases, the domains no longer work. See https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=397258.0

I've just received twelve pages from Elias about Lealana. Three pages of detailed information about the company and its coins followed by nine pages about nine coins. There are photographs of the front and back of each coin. There is a table which depicts the mintage of different styles of each coin, the material, weight, and grade (if any). Each page provides data about the coin and reveals any unusual or intriguing features such as the lack of a "pit" for some of the 10 LTC silver coins (2013).
It's impressive work. I'll be reading it tonight and letting Elias know my thoughts.

if 20 is still available, let me know. Well. Either way, let me know what is available and how to pay (I'm in the usa). This seems pretty cool. It's hard to navigate all the physical coins and hopefully this helps!

I will sign each of the 1st edition books. So when is the deadline for the release of these books?? Or will it just be waiting until the max reserve spots of 100 get placed?
The deadline I have made for myself is that this book will be completed in 2015, which means December. Once the book is ready, it will go to print; I am not waiting on any particular number, though I did say earlier that I needed atleast 25 (which I now have). Anything more up to 100 is ofcourse nice If for example the book is completed in mid November with 32 reservations, then so it shall be. I might of course print a few more to sell later (up to 100 total) if I want to, but we will see.

Same here, he even let me pay via paypal (don't ask, just worked better at the time, i'm not a fan, trust me) for #20. Elianite, I think I asked once, but how are you handling the shipping , I was never asked for an address unless you got it from my paypal payment? Thanks again, it gives me something more to look forward to than the snow!

Elianite, CONGRATULATIONS!
Very excited to see you've filled your 25 book quota and are not expanding beyond...what great success! Clearly there's good demand for these books, I can't wait to see it!
Same here, he even let me pay via paypal (don't ask, just worked better at the time, i'm not a fan, trust me) for #20. Elianite, I think I asked once, but how are you handling the shipping , I was never asked for an address unless you got it from my paypal payment? Thanks again, it gives me something more to look forward to than the snow! Possum, Not sure what you mean by not expanding beyond.. 25 was the stated minimum, but I'm willing to take up to 75 additional orders if they come . I will be shipping the books out personally after I receive them from the print. I'll be signing each book. Some of you have already provided addresses, which I have in my order spreadsheet. For those that haven't, I'll just send a message prior to shipping. Any update on the book?? Have you received all of your submissions back from each manufacturer?? Thanks You are a little too optimistic . I have submitted drafts to a few, and had the chance to correct a few things. Right now I have Lealana, Cryptolator, Crypto Imperator, Microsoul, Titan, SerpCoin, and bhCoin almost fully complete, minus some formatting. I haven't sent the drafts to most of these yet. This weekend I'm working on NolaCoin, Coinographic, and Nasty Mining. The good news is that most of the biggest manufacturer sections are done, which are by far the most complex. Some of the remaining 'big fish' are Silver Wallets, Alitin Mint, TGBEX, Finite By Design, Denarium, etc. Then there is a gaggle of smaller manufactures and one-offs that I need to deal with; luckily those are not as difficult to do. Hope this gives a good picture of where things stand right now

Matthew and I feel that it more accurately describes the contents, unlike the previous term 'Catalogue'. Would love to hear your feedback!

Sneak Peek!
The color Scheme has not yet been settled, but you can expect this type of format. The image you see is the level of completion at which 70% of the book is at this point. Note that this format is one of two 'base' formats for the catalouge portion, and is used primarily in cases where there is a good photo available and alot of text is not required. When space for text is the priority, the photos are both side by side at the top, but much larger than in the original Casascius book. A third format is one which includes two coin listings on a single page. These formats do vary, but are based on the three main templates.

Sneak Peek! Looks great!! Will there be page numbers?? Also, all except the Satoshi coin from Ravenbit are called "Node xxx" https://ravenbit.com/coins/ This link also has release dates, not just the year!!! Thanks Page numbers will be inserted before the final copy goes to print. Right now it's just 180 individual pages grouped together by mint, with Matthew having an additional ~20 pages of text that will compose the more academic portion. I have another 30-40 pages to put together, and revamp the Casascius section. End result will likely be ~250 pages. One difficulty is the naming. I have taken to naming the coins in a rather generic way, such as '1BTC Brass Coin, 2015', tied to the manufacturer. If multiple coins that would have the same name are made by the same manufacturer in the same year, I've used 'v1, v2' to differentiate. I have also used 'names' of the coins (nicknames or given by manufacturers) in quotation marks after the more 'formal' categorization name. Perhaps this one will look like this: Ravenbit Antique Bronze Coin, 2014 'Node 2.4'

New Coin Naming Convention
I have put together the below standardized format for identifying coins and rounds in the book. IU hope that it becomes standard among physical crypto-currency.
PF - Pre-Funded (coin funded directly by the manufacturer): Casascius, Microsoul, Titan, TGBEX, Crypto Imperator, Alitin, Nasty Fans seat coins
BF - Buyer-Funded (buyer funds coin directly, before it is shipped): Some Lealana coins
UF - Un-Funded (shipped with private key secured, but without loaded value): Ravenbit, an option for many coins
DIY - Do It Yourself (Hologram Sticker or other affixed by customer): Silver Wallets, SerpCoin DIY,
2FA - 2 FActor (loaded value is not redeemable with the Private Key alone): Some Casascius bars, bhCoins 2-factor coin
Round - (no intention/capability to be used to store crypto-currency; cont considered a 'coin'): Anarcoins, Bitcoinnerd, MJB Monetary Metals,

Arent there 3 kinds on Lealana that woulnt be entirely distinguishable from the PF and BF ? ie original smoothie funded, definate Pre Funded PF later self funded prior to smoothie shipping, not lasered as buyer funded, but not funded by smoothie .... are you classing these as Buyer funded BF ? They fit your description, but its confusing, as they arent lasered that way (and others are) later non funded, but lasered with buyer funded .... from your descriptions .... even though they say buyer funded on the coin, they are unfunded UF ? Could we have a change in terms to avoid the possible confusion ? Maker Pre funded Buyer Pre funded Buyer (Post) funded Unfunded Or similar ?

I think in the case with smoothie, you're right...you have:
smoothie pre-funded = Pre-Funded buyer enforced pre-funded but not lasered = Buyer-Funded unfunded but lasered Buyer Funded = Unfunded
I agree...it does get confusing because I think we're using the category 'Buyer-Funded' when smoothie uses it to denote something else.
My concern is not trying to have too many unnecessary categories. IMO, there's already a lot as it is. I personally don't think we want a Unfunded and Buyer Post Funded, because any Unfunded coin can turn into a Buyer Post Funded.

Are the Lealana's the only coins to use this system/naming?? Yes, at least from my point of view, before I hand the complete list over to elianite to review & edit, Lealana's are currently the only coins to use BF. They should also will have PF and UF as mentioned above.

Ravenbit was one of the first to offer a full DIY kit (I checked some old posts and I think Serpcoin beat me out by 1 week - There may have been a couple of small one-off DIY coins before that) See my Satoshi coin released in 2013, as well as my Node Brass, Node Copper and Node Silver released in 2014.

Perhaps this one will look like this: Ravenbit Antique Bronze Coin, 2014 'Node 2.4'Elianite - Good job - book looks nice. The coin in question is the "Node Bronze", Series 2.3 The date on the coin is 2014, but it was not released until 2015. To be quite honest the naming and years are among the most difficult, especially determining between the year on the coin and the 'release' date. Ideally the 'year' of a coin should always be listed as the release date, regardless of what the coin itself says. It is quite likely that there will be some errors in that area. Naming is the second question I haven't quite finalized. I will be working with Bithalo to formulate 'official' names (a sort of naming convention according to which all coins can be accurately named) for all coins according to a standardized format. This will likely put 'manufacturer-assigned names' or 'nicknames' is quotes at the end of the assigned name that is meant for categorization purposes. take the below example: Ravenbit Antique Bronze Coin, 2014 (UF) 'Node 2.4'
Cryptolator 1 BTC Silver Coin, 2014 (PF, UF, DIY)
Crypto Imperator 10,000 DOGE Coin, 2014 (PF, DIY)
- Should 'metal' be specified in the name? Should it be specified always, sometimes, or never? what if metal is unckown? I need to decide this.- Putting 'Node Bronze, Series 2.1' at the end is too much - Using the word 'bronze' is repetitive, as the metal is already specified n the name - Frankly, I find the use of the 'series' concept to be extremely confusing, as not all manufacturers designate series. sometimes multiple 'series' are released at the same time. Is it designated based on hologram or production order or design? What about 'grey areas'? That said I do use the concept of 'series' in some descriptions in a more casual way, but want to avoid using them in formal categorization..

This will likely put 'manufacturer-assigned names' or 'nicknames' is quotes at the end of the assigned name that is meant for categorization purposes.
Coming up with your own names for coins will likely only further confuse the issue. I understand the urge to "standardize" and "categorize", but it may be difficult given every manufacturer has their own way of doing things. Ravenbit Antique Bronze Coin, 2014 (UF) 'Node 2.4' -Should 'metal' be specified in the name? Should it be specified always, sometimes, or never? what if metal is unckown? I need to decide this.
There is a simple solution: list the composition of the coin separately (not in the name). Listing Antique Bronze as the metal is actually incorrect; it is a brass (85% copper; 15% zinc) coin with an "antique bronze" finish. Bronze is typically copper and tin. The series is 2.3; the website has not been updated, but the bitcointalk reference page in my signature is pretty much up to date. - Frankly, I find the use of the 'series' concept to be extremely confusing, as not all manufacturers designate series. sometimes multiple 'series' are released at the same time. Is it designated based on hologram or production order or design? What about 'grey areas'? That said I do use the concept of 'series' in some descriptions in a more casual way, but want to avoid using them in formal categorization..
Ok then don't use it in your book; it's your book after all (I mean you can refer to a coin as Shittyhead fuckface Version 1 if you want! It's your book!) However, the fact of the matter is my reference page and website will be the official reference for all of my coins. I've put together a large amount of info on the thread and website and will be expanding/cleaning it up after the release of my newest design. I'm not sure I have explained this before, but I use series as an alternate name for the coin. For example the "Node Bronze AT" Series 2.3.1 is broken down as follows: 2 represents the design (the first design "satoshi" is "1" and my next design will be "3") 3 represents the metal/finish 1 represents any special variations (in this case the artifical toning; or in the case of the Node L.E. the special serialized numbers) The numbers are sequential based on release date.

In my research, I tried to refer to the maker's announcement or selling threads / website and used whatever they called it. I also looked for their own explanation of metals, sizes, weights, mintages, etc.
My preference is to use the naming convention of what each coin is officially called by their maker.
So for example, I may suggest something like the mint name, name of coin, denomination, material if it differentiates vs other coins offered:
Ravenbit Series 2.3 Node Bronze - I earlier had the word 'Antique'...my mistake Cryptolator Unchained 1BTC Silver Crypto Imperator 10,000 Doge
then after, add other properties (type of physical, year, funding type) as needed, if desired.
I'll probably need to do another once-over to ensure I've got the naming correct.

Careful, it could stick ... It's a little tempting, but I wouldn't want to compromise the professionalism of the work . I have made great progress with Bithalo, and I am sure that the final names will not cause too much disappointment to anyone

New Coin Naming Convention
I have put together the below standardized format for identifying coins and rounds in the book. IU hope that it becomes standard among physical crypto-currency.
PF - Pre-Funded (coin funded directly by the manufacturer): Casascius, Microsoul, Titan, TGBEX, Crypto Imperator, Alitin, Nasty Fans seat coins
BF - Buyer-Funded (buyer funds coin directly, before it is shipped): Some Lealana coins
UF - Un-Funded (shipped with private key secured, but without loaded value): Ravenbit, an option for many coins
Don't forget to add JPF - Just Plain Fun (No cash value, but the coolness value is pretty darn high.): Bitcoin Penny™ commemorative coins. Regards, Christopher

I went through all the websites and maker' s Bitcointalk forum coin announcements again to use the naming that each maker used. I also reviewed all the specs for the coins again and took the rest of the photos today. Sending this over to elianite so we can review it all.

January 2nd update:About a week behind schedule (I went on vacation ), but progressing well. Current status: - Only one more major producer to add. Need to add text to about 6-8 pages of more obscure producers. maybe 15 total pages need some significant work - Casascius Section ALMOST DONE - Final edits being made on Matthew's academic section today - Cover still needs to be done, and the other things below that in the above list^. Latest page estimates: Academic section: ~16 pages Encyclopedia section (coins and mint bios): ~200-205 Other sections include Glossary, Special Thanks, Counterfeits & Imitations, Citations / References, Author Bios, and more It's fair to say we will come out in the ~240 page rangeThere are some rather obscure coins that have almost no data available for them. In these few cases, I might leave them out as to avoid writing something of very low quality, along with low quality photos. Thoughts? I have opened up additional numbers for reservations. TEASER: There will be some new, never-before-seen images of the Casascius 1,000 BTC gold coin!

Yes, 10% discount applies, and it applies to the whole order. That means that anyone who has already purchased a copy, can effectively get a 2nd copy for 20% off!Sent you a PM.

Update:
The guide was originally designed in 100 PPI (pixels per inch) and an 6x8 aspect ratio. The standard for high quality printing is 300 PPI and the aspect ratio should be 6x9. I have hired a freelance graphic designer to re-format the entire guide to fit these specifications.
An issue here is that some photos which were previously 'good' may actually not be of a high enough quality. I will be addressing these issues as soon as re reformatted version is ready for me in about 5 days. I may specifically be needing some photos of Casascius and Lealana coins.
That said, everything is well on track for February delivery!

I can take more Lealana if needed, and I have all the major varieties. All my Casascius are in slabs, so those wouldn't be good subjects to photograph.

Sure thing. This page is an example where two coins are depicted on a page. The changes have made the design very clean and simple. i havve not yet decided what colors should be on the pages, so it is just white with grey tables for now. I did note that the bottom right photo is a little off-format; that will all be fixed. As for naming, I am using mainly the names provided by the manufacturer. Please also ignore the small '27ozt' and 'copper'; looks like they were mixed up in the formatting. That will all be fixed as the pages are checked against my database. Feedback is welcome!

Some of the original prices are mentioned i the book, but not comprehensively. Perhaps this might be something for a later edition or as online content. At this point im polishing up the book and adding some missing parts.

Does it state anywhere on the cover, or inside page that this is the first edition ..... ?
Good question. I did some reading on the subject: "According to the definition of edition above, a book printed today, by the same publisher, and from the same type as when it was first published, is still the first edition of that book to a bibliographer. However, book collectors generally use the term first edition to mean specifically the first print run of the first edition (aka "first edition, first impression"). Since World War II, books often include a number line (printer's key) that indicates the print run." "Many book collectors place maximum value on the earliest bound copies of a book—promotional advance copies, bound galleys, uncorrected proofs, and advance reading copies sent by publishers to book reviewers and booksellers." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edition_(book) As this is a sort of advance offering, I think that the definition we are working with is that of the 'first run'. It would be problematic for me to write '1st Edition' on the cover for two reasons. First, it would be misleading in that it is one of many books. Second, It may need its own ISBN number, which is easier said than done. I will be printing through the distributor company, which means that any book that I have printed via them would also need to be offered for sale by them. Obviously, I want to limit the '1st Edition' to 100. Assuming things go to plan, the book will be offered for sale through a distributor sometime in the future, though those would obviously not be signed or be the '1st printing'. I think the best approach is for me to print up to 100 copies for myself, which I will then number, sign, and ship. I can use a stamp, and possibly a sticker on the front saying something like 'Special First Edition - Numbered".

What about some kind of bitcoin themed security hologram on the front to signify the first 100 copies??
thanks
You could turn the book into another physical storage of bitcoin by adding a hologram inside the cover with a private key and your signature over it. If you do this and post a public address list. I will donate 0.05btc to a random address.

I will donate 0.05btc to a random address. Interesting idea. The book itself becomes a paper wallet. I imagine to save cost it would have to be a generic holo as I doubt Elianite wants to incur added expense of a custom holo, and we don't wish to add delays to the project. But I'll let him decide if it's something worth doing. The benefit is that it makes a printed bound version more special than a pdf which wouldn't have the physical wallet attached. Here is one example that I've purchased from before to make paper wallets. https://bitcoinpaperwallet.com/#purchaseThe encyclopedia isn't covering paper wallets in this edition due to time constraints. However we are including almost every different coin and bar (wallets and non wallets) made to date. It's a huge list.

How about something like the NFC sticker? used by Papersafe wallets?? It could be covered by the hologram.... I would donate for this extra feature +1 I would donate some BTC to any of the following to help cover the costs of supplying holograms for this project: BG4, gravitate, Technomage, SHIBANU, or Blazed/silver wallets. Maybe one of them would offer a special price on their holograms to help out this project and some shameless self-promotion.

I too would pay for this to happen.
I also like the idea to fund. Just a nominal amount, even a single satoshi, the amount isnt important. But it time and date stamps the release of the book, and the date of issue. A description could be placed on the Blockchain ... "The Encyclopedia of Physical Bitcoin and Crypto-Currencies copy X/100"
This is too perfect not to be done. A book about physical wallets, being a physical wallet itself - GENIUS

Unsure a maker of assembled coins would want their holo stickers out in the wild. Blazed / Silver Wallets is a good shout, as the silver wallets are issued DIY, and the stickers are available as separates already.

I don't want to jump the gun before Elianite can confirm if this is something to move ahead with, but thinking out loud, perhaps 100 holos or a few more just in case of mistakes in applying them. But since fewer are currently reserved perhaps less would be needed now.
I wonder if applying a holo to a glossy front cover would come off too easy, so the inside page would be better to affix to?

Agreed, the inside cover should attach better and having an original signature with an embossing seal would be even better. It will take another week or two to order and cost another $40-$60. At least that is what it cost back when I was a notary in a previous life. I don't know if Elianite will want to mess with it, but it would look sharp. USA customers could funded their own wallets with the 0.001btc in order to avoid any legal issues or maybe a third party could handle any USA shipping to avoid selling directly to USA customs. I am guessing there are only a handful of us.

But since we don't want legal issues, I don't think we want to deal with funding them ourselves. Maybe more of the Lealana model of buyer funded?

There would also be a need to generate the wallets / keys to place under the holos. They could all be self funded if needs be.
The more I think on this, the more I like it. If / when bitcoin value increases again, I love the thought of the book doing the same

https://bitcoinpaperwallet.com/#purchaseThey have some large holograms that look pretty cool. I think a small round hologram might not look good on a book.

I agree.
This is simply too good not to be done.
I personally have 0 experience dealing with private keys and adding them to holograms.
Here is an idea: perhaps some manufacturer is willing to donate 100 (+10% for errors) holograms. These could already have the private key added, with the 'completed' sticker stuck to a'sticker paper' from which I can pull it off and place it directly on the book. This would be free advertising for you, as it would bring publicity to your brand.

I like the hologram/address idea. Reminds me of Kramer's Coffee Table Book. If you don't have a Bitcoin wallet, it turns into a Bitcoin wallet! EDIT: If you spoke with naypalm, he might be willing to do a BOOK ANALYZER so that you can see which books have been redeemed and the values they all hold.

This would be a good idea for a poster or something displaying all of the holograms in one shot. Or make it like a coin (sticker/hologram) collecting book..... A major downfall is the most prized holograms (casascius) would be unattainable. I think a custom Encyclopedia hologram and a wallet would be cool though.

Holograms from whichever manufacturer will need to mark the holograms to say it's purpose (for this book). It would be very unsafe otherwise.
edit: unless they sell holograms.

Lasered, much like Smoothies "buyer funded". Nice idea. But lots of sorting would be needed. The logistics of 1 holo / key and as such book wallet would be more attainable As well as Blazed and silverwallets. If Ravenbit is coming out the coin making game, I am guessing they may also have some remaining surplus holos ? (and they are also DIY coins).

Where and when did he announce this? As far as I remember he announced that he was already working on 2016 coins and that the dies were alread undergoing manufacture.. Edit: Just saw his end of January update. Still confused as to why this is.

Did he give any reason why he decided to move on? It seems rather sudden, maybe I missed an explanation, all I see is the post on the 25th of January. It's unfortunate with how popular the Ravenbit coins were.

How many are needed? I would be willing to donate some for sure.
100 (+5-10% for mistakes) I think the ideal hologram here would be one that has a window for the public key, and is perhaps etched or otherwise modified slightly to indicate the book. Heck, numbering them would be way cool as well! The ideal solution would be that whoever is providing the holograms also prepares them with the public/ private key, so all that I need to do is pull them from a sticker sheet and place on the cover. I would like to think that the publicity available here would be worth the effort. Whoever is interested; please PM me!

I'm sure we'll add paper wallets and cards in future editions. I do collect paper wallets such as PaperSafe and I have a ton of respect in their quality. Perhaps it's something we could add, to your point. Something like a few pics of Bitbills, PaperSafe, Bitcoin Suisse Notes, Bit card.de, Etc all in 1 page? Even Casacius did a paper wallet before the coins, if I recall.

At this point, getting this done is starting to be the biggest priority. There is a photo of a Bitbill and an explanation of paper wallets and their significance. I dont want to keep people waiting; I personally would be getting impatient around this point if I had pre-ordered a long time ago. We are almost done. Its mostly formatting right now.

I know monkeynuts has a picture of it. It was something like 12 public addresses on a sheet of paper with a personal signature of Mike C over some hologram or other item, if I recall. It wasn't very fancy looking. http://www.pdf-archive.com/2016/02/07/paperwalletsample/This was Mikes sample doc. https://i.imgur.com/SRBd2sS.pngThis is a pic of an actual cas paper wallet with the wallet addresses / keys redacted These were emptied by the original owner, just before I bought the redeemed sheet, so in theory I could probably share an undocdtored image .... I dont have the wallet to hand though, to take a new one (that image was sent by the seller prior to me buying it, and them sweeping the wallets) I have a generic signed pdf doc from Mike (that I assume was originally intended to accompany the paper wallet ... unsure if he changed it slightly though), dated and signed in June 2011. I am not posting the file, as there is perhaps some detail in there, that I am guessing with hindsight, Mike wished he hadnt shared. There is an image of Mikes fingerprint, and the text in the PDF is as follows "RE: Fingerprint for Paper Bitcoin Wallet To whom it may concern, The purpose of this letter is to help users of my Paper Bitcoin Wallet confirm that their wallet sheet was genuinely produced by me. Each genuine wallet sheet has an original fingerprint matching the specimen shown here, that I placed myself. Other distinguishing features include: Fingerprint on envelope where sealed Private keys printed in blue inkjet (helps blend with security envelope) Watermarked paper Postmarked from Sandy, UT '12345' (or nearby, often '12345') ***I changed this *** Sequence numbers (helps make sure I didn’t accidentally print the same sheet twice) Also please note this letter is a digitally signed PDF. The digital cryptographic signature can be validated within the free PDF reader from Adobe. PDF “previewers” pre‐installed on Macs and Linux may not detect or show digital signatures." Like I say, I am not sure that was ever utilised or not. As these keys are not under a security hologram, its unlikely that any sales would happen with unredeemed cas paper wallets. I have only ever seen one of these available for sale (redeemed or unredeemed), and consider myself very lucky to have added it to my collection. Its a very interesting insight into the evolution into the casascius coins. Its clear that the wallets were potentially around from June 2011 (from the signed PDF). The wallet I have was dated 10th September 2011, and looks like it possibly used the cas error hologram rather than Mikes fingerprint (the first cas error coins were first funded on 7th September 2011) .... so perhaps there are also some older cas wallets with the finger prints instead of the holo .... I just dont know You'll note from the sequence numbers on my doc - 4139 upto 4147 - that potentially many were made .... assuming numbering started at 1..... I am doubting this as surely there would be more floating in the market. Each of the wallet addresses on this one was for 1 BTC. Unsure if that was standard or not. I would be very interested to hear from anyone who knows about the 'finger print cas paper wallets', or better still has one for sale. Elias, apologies for jacking your thread. But hey, every day is a school day, and you are writing an encycopedia to share the knowledge .

elianite,
I'm very excited to see the near-completion of your book! I think all collectors will benefit from having their coins documented, and I also think this book will have its own collectors value as the first of its kind. Good luck with the final printing and keep us posted on the status as you have updates.

Thankyou for the support! I am currently shifting through a mountain of edits for my introduction. After that all the citations will need to be done manually. I also just received some exciting photos; the book will feature photos of TWO versions of the 1,000 BTC gold coins!

I just added a new Sneak Peek! This image is an excellent example of the final format which we have set on. It is balanced, giving the images the most emphasis when there is not an abundance of text. The grey tables do not stand out too much, and nicely fill up extra space. All that this needs is a page number and page header at the top. All entries use this type of grey chart, except for 'multi entries' that are more like the Ravenbit table you saw previously. I have been spending the last few days meticulously formatting everything. Also, there have been a couple coins that just recently came to our attention. They are being added this weekend. It will be VERY up to date. Final edits on the 'About the Authors', Author Introduction' and 'Foreword' were just completed. Shortly, I will be posting the Table of Contents as the ultimate teaser.

EDIT: Its not too late... just shoot me a message and itll be fine

Thanks!
To clarify; The reason I request real names is to give a professional and academic appearance, as opposed to a book about 'internet nerds'. If you want to stay anonymous, I suggest using a 'real sounding' alias or perhaps taking your username and putting an initial infront of it, if it is one which might be a surname.

Some people didn't know about this thread until it (maybe) was too late.
I only received the email from the site at: Date: 2/24/2016 9:36:08 P.M. Pacific Standard Time
Which means, I was already 36 minutes too late in ordering.

I'm happy to keep accepting names for a few more days until the final PDF is done. I set the deadline so people wouldn't wait till the last possible moment, which always happens

UPDATE:
I have requested the ISBN number today. This can take max 10 working days (hopefully much less). Once I have that, the file is submitted to the printer, who can take up to 5 days for approval. after approval, the order will be fulfilled in 5 days. There may or may not be a need for me to approve a prototype copy. This would add an extra 5 days. Once I receive the books, I will sign and number them, and quickly ship them.

Great news and congrats for getting it all done! How many hours have you spent on this project if you had to guess?
I don't know where I would even begin in calculating an estimation. The research, writing, formatting, re-formatting, fine-tuning, photos, photo credits, editing, proofreading, order processing. Lets just say its way more then I expected... hundreds upon hundreds of hours. Has the hologram idea been incorporated, and the book itself could have the potential to be a wallet ?
At this point I cannot confirm nor deny, but it looks like it. There would not be a pre-loaded balance, however. Awesome news, glad it came to fruition and we'll be reading it soon! How long will you be selling physical copies of the book, until the 100 are sold?
I will be printing off the 100, of which about half are already paid for. I do not believe I will continue to sell books directly after the 'first print' batch has sold, though I might if it makes sense (additional books I sell would not be numbered or have holograms). The books will be available internationally via various distributors as Print-To-Order. They will of course not be signed or numbered or have any hologram.

I am happy to announce that the ISBN has been assigned!The publication process will be moving forward forthwith. The paperback will begin printing shortly, but the EPUB eBook version is still a few months out as extensive formatting is required. Also, I must make an announcement regarding some new developments. In one month, I will be leaving the country for an extended time (1 year) to work, study, and travel in Africa & Asia. I will receive and send out the pre-orders before I leave. That said, I need to set a deadline on new orders that I can guarantee sending out. I ask that all orders be placed and paid for by SUNDAY, APRIL 17th, so that I can send things out on the 18th or 19th.Feel free to ask questions in-thread or PM me.

You could ship the books to me (for example). You take orders and have me ship them off to the buyers. I am guessing that you will still have access to a computer and bitcoin while you're gone. Might be best if you could find someone in China to ship to the rest of the world since they have such very low shipping costs. Of course they might copy the book and sell for pennies.

I think it would be smart to set up sales from Europe and NA, or at least in one of those. this could also go on after the 100 are sold, though those ones would obviously not be be numbered nor would I be able to sign them.

GREAT NEWS
The book will hit the printing presses TOMORROW!
-Order ships out to me in ~5 business days -Shipping time is 3-7 business days -I will ship everything out ASAP
Also, some very special news
In order ro answer some demand, a small portion (20-25) of the 100 'special edition' books will be designated as an exclusive 'Collector's Signature Edition'.
As promised, the 'Special Edition First Print' will be: - Numbered 1-100 - Signed by Elias Ahonen, Author
In addition, the 'Collector's Signature Edition' will include the following extras: - Signed by Matthew Rippon, Co-Author - Signed by Howard Kesselman, Editor - Signed by Mike Caldwell, creator of Casascius Physical Bitcoin - Include a hologram with a private key inside, allowing the books to function as paper wallets. They will be affixed by Howard Kesselman
The Collector's Special Edition will be made available first to everyone who has already pre-ordered a book. They will have an opportunity to purchase one outright, or to 'convert' one or more of their pre-ordered books into a Signature Edition by paying the extra costs.
After the exclusive offer, any left-over 'Signature Edition' books will be offered openly on the forum starting Monday, April 11th.
Since the Signature Edition books need to be shipped between several people for signing, it is expected to take 1 additional month for them to be received. They cannot be shipped along with other books.
The Collector's Signature Edition will cost 140 GBP, double that of the normal book. Anyone who has already ordered a book may pay 70 GBP to 'convert' a copy. I will be sending a message to everyone who has pre-ordered with this info later on today or early tomorrow.

I was just about to ask the same thing. Looking forward to the answer. This is quite important IMO and would possibly be the determining factor for me (to convert or not).

A few clarifications:
Since I am leaving to South Africa for work in 3 weeks, I will be sending all books forward before leaving. that means that the 'First Print' books will be sent to buyers directly, and I will send the 'Signature Edition' books to the UK for Matthew to sign. That means that the 'First Print' and the 'Signature Edition' cannot be shipped together. The 'First Print' will ship from Canada, and the 'Signature Edition' will ship from the USA. Since there are no shipping savings, there would not be a discount for ordering a Signature Edition if you already have another pre-order. That said, A discount is certainly available if you would like more than one Signature Edition book.
Regarding numbering preferences, I would like your feedback! One concern was that people might be upset if they are unable to 'convert' their low numbers, for example if they reserved #10 'First Print' but didn't want to buy one of each.
Option 1: Specific numbers can be designated as 'Signature Edition', so for example if you have already reserved #25 and #26, you could 'convert' the #25 into a Signature Edition. With this scheme, the numbers that have signatures would appear random, HOWEVER, they could also be numbered seperately., As in, they could have a 'First Print' serial number (out of 100), AND a different 'Signature Edition' Serial number (out of, say, 25).
Option 2: Another method by which this could be done is to simply designate 75-100 of the First-Print as 'Signature Edition' books. The downside here is that it would not be possible to 'convert' what you have already ordered, unless you give up the serial number you got before.
What are your preferences?

I think keeping it as xx/100 for all the books would work. Just make the 1st 25 as the Signature edition. and state this is "First Print #xx/100, Singature Series 1/25" and just "First Print #xx/100" for the rest of the books Let people with low number decide in order if they want to convert and then just move up the list.... Personally, I have #25 and would want #25 of the Signature series as well.... Just my 2 satoshi Thanks I believe this is the ideal solution.

It will be numbered seperately, but it will ALSO be numbered as part of the 100. it will have two serial numbers. The numbers are first come, first serve.

They need to travel to the UK Isn't it a good idea to ship them to the UK last, and send the book to all EU buyers from there? That saves a lot of time and money.

This would be problematic to USA buyers, as they would still need to be returned from the UK. It's easiest to ship all the Signature Editions to UK first, than USA, and from there to the buyers.

Considering the high price that was presented (200$) I was not expecting people to grab the Collectors edition so quickly. There's only a few left to claim! It will be numbered seperately, but it will ALSO be numbered as part of the 100. it will have two serial numbers. The numbers are first come, first serve.
Yeah, I think that makes sense. However, when it comes to rarity they could be weird (e.g. 1 very low number combined with a very high one, or vice versa). Regardless, I think that you've chosen the best option.

Congrats. These seemed to go fast. I'm curious what is the one primary reason for purchasing these? Is it Mike Caldwell's sig, the 3 authors sigs, the physical wallet, the more limited total made, or the prestige of being the more premium edition? I'll do my best to mail the sig edition out as fast as I can once I get it. I'll get from Elianite everyone's address and edition number. If anyone moves within the next month or so, be sure to PM me and Elianite if there's a change in address. I'll likely post on this thread a reminder of that once I get these in.

One Collector's Signature Edition just opened up; the buyer backed out. Since I have had so many inquiries, an auction is the fair way to find the new owner. 22h only! https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1428608.new#new

It's certainly interesting to watch the auction, seeing as I think there are many people who missed the chance to get a Signature Edition.

Is it possible to deduct the price for a regular book from the winning bid? That way we can upgrade a book instead of buying an extra copy . EDIT: Also, is it possible to start a back-up list? Just in case more people back out? In that case I call dibbs!

would love to see some photos of the pages inside, and hear some quality reviews, since paperback books can come in a wide range between 'pages are falling out and poorly printed' to 'this will last decades of use and the inside printing is perfect'
if theres a second edition at a better price point, ill almost certainly buy a copy or two

You would have to wait for people to receive their books first. I'm certain that everyone is impatient at this point (as it has been quite the wait). I can't wait for it to arrive either!

I will begin numbering and signing this weekend.
I will be stamping the books with a
SPECIAL EDITION FIRST PRINT /100
and COLLECTORS SIGNATURE EDITION /25
stamps, and will write each number by hand. This stamp could go on the front cover, on the back or inside. Is there a general preference?
Would anyone be interested in buying a unique un-serialized 'test copy' with multiple stamps?

yes elianite i want it. make my copy the test copy please The test copy would likely not have a serial number, so it would be in addition to the 100. I wont promise it to anyone yet; just dont want to 'ruin' a book unless I know someone will want it

I'm thinking I can put the '/100' stamp on the center of the cover, right under the title. the ''/25' stamp could then go onto the top, right above the title. I don't think those 1 or two stamps would make the book look worse. The other option would be to put both on the back, where they are 'out of sight'.
Still need to test on a book to make sure the ink sticks, of course

I'm thinking on the 1st right hand page (1st page of paper, not the back of the cover). I would be concerned that a stamp or hand writing smears off the slick cover. I would also sign the books on that same place on the page of paper too. Thats also where I'm thinking of putting the holo for the signature edition. A slick cover may make a holo too easy to remove.

Turns out the ink will not bond with the matte cover. I decided to shorten the stamp, and and will now likely be stamping the SIDE of the book at the bottom, and using a 'sharpie' type marker to input the numbers.

Issue is that it would not be outwardly possible to determine the number, which I think many would find appealing (also helps avoid shipping mix-ups) The signature(s) itself (and holo) would go well on the 1st or second page of the book (perhaps holo on first page, signatures on 2nd as there is more space)

I don't really want to bother with an auction for it. Buy-it-now 0.3 BTC, if no offer by sometime tomorrow I'll drop it to 0.2 btc. EDIT: Test Copy is sold

I want to reserve #64 and #71 i use paypal please tell me where to send the money!
ohhh Newbie requesting for payment with PayPal, OP handle it with care. Also the first post is in here, looks very much legit. Lol I have a well documented history of being quite trusting here.. What I dislike about this community is the suspicion and distrust; I almost quit more than once because of it. That said, I will give them the fair opportunity to pay by Paypal as long as it seems legit.

I am very disappointed that the people who paid in full months ago were not give even a week to reserve a copy of the collectors signature edition. If you had offered a deluxe version from the beginning, I would have bought that instead.

agreed, a few hours to fight over 25 copies when we have waited months is bad form and has soured a great endeavor. more consideration should have been made for early investors who were not able to act at such short notice.

The signature editions were only offered to people who had already prepaid and the rest were not going to be offered to the general public until 4/11, but because demand was much higher than 25 among the pre-buyers they sold out within a few hours. Maybe he could have limited it to one signature edition per buyer to give more people a chance though.

I had asked about a signed edition a long time ago on this thread before I volunteered for the project. I later pushed for it again a couple months ago. It took those few months to get confirmation if Mike C would sign these, since we felt it was very important. It was literally the last minute figuring out the details on many things, if Mike would sign, how many he would sign, logistics, and if we were going to go ahead. As such, this edition wasn't guaranteed from the beginning. I think we were all surprised by the level of interest, and didn't think it would sell out within 48 hrs. Elias did email out a PM to those that pre-ordered to be able to upgrade, and offered it only to people who preordered the regular edition to be as fair as possible. While in theory more books could be signed by the 3 authors and made wallets, Mike only agreed to a certain amount, so we're constrained by that amount, plus what we committed to as an edition size for the people who bought this.

Letting the first few people buy up the lot on a first come first serve basis when the whole project was financed with prepaid orders is dishonest and unprofessional. You can send my refund to 1Pstchot2E47xwWR4zzW2XxHh5V1yMJRoS.

I'm sorry you feel this way. As bithalo stated, we were constrained by the number of Signature Edition copies that we were able to make, and time was an issue. Considering there were ~50 individuals who had pre-ordered, and only 20 Signature Edition's up for grabs, I don't know if there would have been a way to make this much more 'fair'. I did limit the copies to only those who had pre-ordered, and made it a first-come, first-serve model among those people. only. Holding so many separate auctions would have been impractical. That said, I have retained ~3 copies for myself, paired with low xx/100 numbers. My intent is to make these available by auction later on, so truly anyone has the chance to get one. I also auctioned off #25, which was mis-reserved on my end. I have sent you a PM, and hope to work this out with you. Because of your unique situation which you mentioned, I have also offered to send you a digital version of the book for free once it becomes available, whether you cancel your order or not.

I understand that this is a tricky situation because it was a last minute call to make the Signature Editions. The only thing that you could've done more is by offering it to the first 20 people who pre-ordered your book. They were the ones to show most trust and interest in your book. I am bummed that I missed out on a Signature Edition but I can only blame myself for not deciding sooner . When will the books be shipped?

I am inclined to agree that it may have been a better approach. That said, it would have its own complications as I only record the number of the books reserved, not necessarily the order in which reservations happened. The books will be shipped on the 19th or 20th; once I am done with my exams.

Most books are now shipped. US buyers will receive them relatively quickly, wheat European and South American shipments will take a month (two at most). Unfortunately,,the few packages going to Australia, Russia, and Singapore will take one month on too of that.
Since shipping isn't very fast, any buyer may PM me and recieve personal access to a digital PDF of the book.
I am still able to accept sales if you pay 70gbp in full to the address on my profile OR quoted on the auction in the post above^. I need to get your shipping data also. Absolute deadline for all this is 8 am est tomorrow
Signature Edition will ship later, but won't be long.

I've got some PM's already! Please give me a week or more to get them ready. The main purpose is to bring fairness in case some shipments take 3 months while others only a week.
That said, I do reccomend reading the book itself; much more enjoyable in my opinion!

MinerJones has possession of the remaining books at this time, and some unsigned copies may also be available from him soon. Prices and such for those will be set in the near future. At this point the digital version is not for sale, as it is only a PDF and not a proper eBook.

Well, to prevent the spread of unauthed copies, you could watermark with the buyers full details. This would ensure that MOST of us wouldn't even consider giving it out. But, it would also just make someone buying it provide fake details. So, it would not eliminate a spread.

Just so everyone is clear: The Collector's Signature Edition books have NOT shipped yet. They are currently with Mr. Caldwell for signing.
Thank you for the kind words, I hope to hear back from everyone regarding their thoughts on the book. Obviously there will be errors; they can be fixed for later editions if any are released.
Though many of you have recived the PDF now, I do recommend reading the hard copy as it is an enjoyable experience.

Just so everyone is clear: The Collector's Signature Edition books have NOT shipped yet. They are currently with Mr. Caldwell for signing.
The international shipping time (as specified) is absurdly long, and now there's another delay? How long do we have to keep waiting for them (any ETA)?

The international shipping time (as specified) is absurdly long, and now there's another delay? How long do we have to keep waiting for them (any ETA)? As previously stated, the Signature Edition books will take longer. This is because they are not shipped by myself, but go through several people (Myself > Mike Caldwell > Howard Kesselman > Buyer). Instead of shipping the books to the UK for signing by Matthew Rippon (an extra month at minimum), high quality acid-free foil labels have been signed by Matthew which will be affixed onto the signature page. Right now, they are in Mr. Caldwell (Casascius') possession, and he will forward them to Howard as soon as he has signed them. As for international shipping, the book prices come with 'basic' shipping. This alone cost $15-$25 CAD per package on my end, largely because each book weighs above 500 grams. International shipping is probably cheaper from the US (from where the Signature Edition books will be shipped from). I will message all buyers regarding this before shipment is arranged, to ensure everyone has the opportunity for shipping upgrades if they desire.

Ah, so that is what's going on; it was the unclear part (at least to me, as I don't check the thread often). So, I'll assume that it is going to take quite some time until they are shipped out to the Buyer. I'm ready for Q3 2016, I guess. Could you send me a PDF version as well? I would appreciate it.

I appreciate that you have given us the PDF copy before the signed copies arrive but I was disappointed to see the watermarking on every page under text areas (not just on the margins). There are clear identifiers on the left and right margins of each page that tell an ID number which is encrypted to most likely correspond to a purchaser which may have been sufficient enough. I understand why you did the "under text" watermarking but unfortunately I had some strain while focusing on reading the PDF due to the feint blue text layering with the watermark and I'd prefer to avoid that. Simply put, what is the pricing structure of the remaining books and how can I purchase a physical copy to receive it in a timely manner apart from the time it will take for my signed copy to arrive?

Unfortunately, I didn't keep up with the thread either, else I would have opted to get the special/signed version. Anyone want to sell me their copy not wanting to wait?

Correct, I was not under the impression the PDF would be provided when pre-ordering the book and the PDF was a nice surprise to be able to view the TOC and general layout/imagery. From previous posts I was under the impression I would be receiving my book this week, but since I upgraded to the collectors edition there will be an extra wait time.

Myself > Mike Caldwell > Howard Kesselman > Buyer is Howard Kesselman shipping from EU? Because I really don't want to pay VAT (I'll ask a refund if I'll pay for that). Elianite is in Canada, bithalo is in US. Either way VAT would have been applicable when recieving into the EU, from one or the other ? Wouldnt have mattered if it was a single copy direct to end buyer, or bulk shipping to an EU distributor - VAT would be applied when coming in, at some point. I am expecting it when recieving into the UK. Only potential saving grace would be a low value declared (like $40) to dip under the trigger

Mike C still has the Signature books, so I hope to receive them next week. I'll then sign and add the holo. I should be able to turn them around quickly next week once I receive them. I live in the US.

I hope many of you have received your books. If you haven't yet gotten a digital PDF copy from me and want one, please message me again.
While I do not prefer reading PDF books, I've went though the PDF copy last night and it looks very well. I can't say that I have something that is worth complaining. Well done! My copies have arrived Could you take some pictures? What are your impressions? Are you satisfied with it? I'm very curious since I'll have to wait a while for mine.

Keep the feedback coming!
Also, the Signature Edition books are now all signed and the holograms are attached. On monday or tuesday they will be sent to minerjones for distribution.

Yup... I received the box of all the books from Mike Caldwell yesterday. Sadly there were no extra goodies thrown in like some spare coins or bars. I'm assembling all of them now and will get them out Monday morning.

Will a PDF version of the new book be released for sale to the general public?
Likely not the PDF, at least in the current form. An eBook is a possibility later on, though it is not currently in the works due to the many projects I have ongoing. What I potentially could do is offer an updated PDF (perhaps with the fixes the corrections that are being made for the hard-cover) and offer that PDF for direct sale through my site at a reasonable discount compared to the book, as there would be no printing or shipping costs.

(This is mainly a PSA; I believe you are one of the manufacturers providing signatures). Anyway, onto the offer: Regular versions sell for $89 at www.coinfirm.org Open offer:$69 ( $20 OFF) ONLY for buyers that previously bought one of the xx/100 copies! Shipping included.

I also wanted to mention that the one large label used for Matthew's signature in the Sig Edition was more cream colored than the white paperback page, so it stands out more. The new 1"x3" labels I purchased for the 26 coin maker autographs (to be used in the Autograph Edition), as well as the square holograms are much more white that blends in nicely with the pages. This link to my thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1486405.msg15119801#msg15119801 shows that picture if anyone is curious.

Technically it could, but I didn't think it was a good idea in selling funded physical coins/wallets to US customers. I didn't want to cause needless drama for US sales. For the same reason why TGBEX and Satori dont sell pre-funded coins to the US, and Casascius, Lealana stopped selling seller-funded coins. Of course, the buyer could pay for the funding like the Lealana model.

Not a new version per-se, only with minor revisions (added missing commas, fixed small factual inconsistencies, clarified sentences). I can't guarantee about the paperback; I may be able to simply 'replace' it, and keep using the same ISBN.

As promised, I have an exciting announcement!In honor of the upcoming halving, I have released an updated 2016 free Casascius eBook, that also contains many additional pages from the Encyclopedia of Physical Bitcoins and Crypto-Currencies. It replaces the Casascius Guide published in June 2014, over two years ago now. That's over 90 pages of free Content! In essence, it is a teaser to this book. The aim is to introduce more people t physical bitcoin. It is engineered to get the reader hooked on the subject, but it does not even come close to what is provided in the paid book. Getting more people interested in our hobby is good fr everyone. That said, spread it! The eBook is available at www.coinfirm.org

Getting more people interested in our hobby is good fr everyone. That said, spread it! The eBook is available at www.coinfirm.orgThank you so much for the work put into this and for making it available for free. That is the right way to spread the love about Physical Bitcoins. I think I will have to soon get your book as well. I was hoping for the new version (maybe in 2017) if you could make a cheaper paperback version available. We are all collectors on here so spending $89 or less, with discount, for a book can be justified. But I was thinking for regular folks and/or youngsters that are interested in BTC having a cheaper option may be great. You know when you buy a book for someone for their Bday or Xmas or because they have left their day job to work on Crypto full time , your book could make a nice and welcome gift. With this I'm not saying your book is too expensive at all, from what I heard it is actually well worth the price. I think the numbers that have been printed make the price what it is and I'm not even so sure if you could print a new 2017 version of it in colour (that's where it costs) at a reasonable price like $20/30. Another option could be, make the book available as an eBook on the Apple and Google stores and print high quality limited editions for the ones of us that like it printed. I mean if the eBook sells well it could sell in the thousands which may offset all your other printing costs. I'd make sure to promote the eBook everywhere I can and if others do the same it could be interesting to see the uptake.

You should contact minerjones for purchasing a new copy. He should have a few AE hardcovers left. I also have spare sets of labels that one could add to a regular hardcopy to make a similar item. See my signature. With regards to the next edition, we are discussing whether to make another a new version for 2017. It depends on the demand.

There are a lot of new coins for 2017 (released and still unreleased) so I think there will be quite a demand for a new version. I would be interested in one if pricing is not too steep.

I won’t be very involved in the project this time, however I did submit a list of the new coins to those involved to add since the last edition. I believe it will mainly be handled by Habbear, krogo and minerjones. Elianite can discuss as well. I don’t have a timeline at this point.

Looking forward to seeing it Thanks bithalo. No timeline at this point unfortunately. As some of you know I have spent the past 6 months working on a startup project, so my attention is limited. I do however have some great people around me to help with the next edition. With this I invite anyone with a serious interest (ie. wanting to commit 100+ hours) in research / writing / photos / etc. to contact me and perhaps you can participate in the creation of the next edition.

Are you still keeping track of coins? I would like to find out how many of the ones I have are still unredeemed, but can't figure it out myself.

What do you mean unredeemed? Go to www.uberbills.com to check the loading btc for your coins. The Encyclopedia covers all the coins made in detail..it will not tell if your coin is still loaded or not. Look at this as an example https://imgur.com/dId1GIp

What's the discount for forum members for the initial edition? 95$ is kinda pricey.

Not pricey considering it is the only encyclopedia on our hobby. It is priceless for us collectors when it comes to referencing what is out there and how many were issued You can try the free sample and judge for yourself. I snapped one book up the minute I became aware of it and it has paid itself off by guiding me to making the right choice when buying. https://coinfirm.org/ebook https://coinfirm.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/Casascius-eBook-Plus-2.pdf

Sorry if this has been asked already, can you explain the difference between the 3 versions?
1) Standard 2) Revised 3) Premium Revised
Also, any chance there are signed copies left?
