Humble brag post incoming... May I present the latest item added to my stash of crypto collectibles.
This amazing creation was commissioned as a custom job by BG4, the man behind PaperSafe.
Some time ago I managed to pick up Satoshi Note #200, which is the first note of Series 3 of PaperSafes' Satoshi Notes.
This note was funded with the face value of 0.05 BTC on the day of release of Series 3. I was not aware that this note was already funded. More on that shortly.
After numerous discussions with BG4 on Slack regarding a custom piece over a couple of months, we agreed on a trade. What I was going to get in exchange for my trade, was not known to either myself, or BG4. The only thing agreed at the time was that BG4 would laser engrave a black marble block, "attach" it to Satoshi Note #200, and make a custom wooden box for it. Anything else was a bonus.
It was decided that I would fund the note with the face value of 0.05 BTC, and then BG4 would engrave the transaction details into some part of the marble block/or custom box.
After I had funded the note, I checked it to find that it had already been funded with 0.05 BTC
After some discussion with BG4, it turned out that he had done this to this specific note only on the day Series 3 was released.
So, it was then decided between us that he would use the original transaction details for the custom piece, instead of my funding
error.
So yes, this Satoshi Note has double funding of 0.05 BTC, and is now loaded with 0.1 BTC
This whole piece weighs a whopping 5lb 14oz, which is roughly 2.7kg!
It comprises of a solid Walnut box, Black Marble, Holographic Paper, Silver Paint, Laser Engraved
BTC icons into Real Leather, and BG4's signature in Gold Paint covered by a Hologram on the bottom of the marble.
Well, the finished product arrived in the UK a couple of days ago, and I am utterly amazed at the quality and workmanship of this piece. The effort that went into this is staggering. I am happier than words could ever express.
To BG4:
Thank You! You more than surpassed any expectations with this, I will cherish this item!Thought I would share it with everyone
