Ravenbit Reference Thread

ANNOUNCEMENTS

25 Jan 2015: It has been a pleasure serving all of you as customers, but I've decided to move on; Ravenbit will not be releasing any new coins and has ceased all operations. Thank you for the support over the past 2 years and I wish all of you the best!

28 Dec 2015: There are now 12 Node Brass (series 2.0)remaining for sale, out of a mintage of approximately 275. This is a revision downward from an original mintage of approximately 950; good news for those of you who already own a Node Brass. The revision can be accounted for as follows: 216 used for Node Brass "A" (series 2.0.2); 462 with severe carbon spotting scheduled for destruction. These numbers are not final and are subject to slight revision.

24 Dec 2015: Today is Ravenbit's 2 year anniversary; thank you to everyone who has supported me over the last two years! I will be releasing a new design in January 2016 (the mint is currently in the process of making the dies). If you'd like to be notified when the new coin is ready to be released, and you haven't already signed up for my very infrequent release newsletter, pm me your email address and I'll be sure you're added to the list.

Reserved

[mrbrt]

Nice. Good place to get my Ravens in a row!!!

X
A

Sign me up!!
I would like to reserve 1 of each please.

I'm probably going to nix the "X" coins, undecided at the moment. The "A" coins will be assembled in the same way as the Node Bronze (with the same hologram) except there will only be approximately 150-200 total coins and 3-4 "colors". These will be sold in packs of 5 for $49.

Raven alert: small jar of pear jelly from Italy that was recently given to me.

lol

[IBGigglin]

First page, reserve. 

[Mitchell]

Very very nice minerjones! I'll give you $10 for the whole set.

I'll offer one genuine raven.



Also was wondering why the Brass series wasn't listed fully in the list yet.

[mrbrt]

Row 1: satoshi / test-satoshi box, Node Silver MS67, Node Copper #001 MS67, the infamous velvet pouch (but no display stand )

Row 2: small bronze-AT box, copper envelope, brass-LE envelope, large bronze-AT box

Row 3: Node Bronze
 -Face, Redeemed, Gray, Green, Yellow, Violet, Blue, Red

Row 4: Node Brass
 -Face, LE #25, R, A, Gray, Green, Yellow, Orange, Red

Row 5: Node Bronze-AT (5 of 7) & Satoshi coins
 -Mars, Juipter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Satoshi, Test-Satoshi

Also:
Have the copper errors #248 and #249 on the way
Have the line on brass error #48....
The other 2 owners of the Bronze-AT are not selling at the moment.
Dogevisitor has some of the "Zero Set" available...hopefully at a good price
I use the term "rawdeemed" for the redeemed bronze and brass.

Nice! Almost as impressive as my collection    Good luck getting those last two bronze-AT's.

p.s. - The "zero set" isn't really "a thing", unless I guess if you guys insist on it being "a thing"

Not a thing, but a nice "subset" of the Satoshis for those into numerical collecting of cryptos.
I know people (myself included) try for certain numbers if available from manufacturers.
For some, it holds meaning. For others, might just be a random.  

Excellent point, I agree.

I have a couple questions, since this is the Ravenbit-Reference-Thread (RRT):
(note: these are being asked after reading most/all of the forum pages involving trades/sales/auctions of the Ravenbit coins)

Absolutely, I encourage any and all questions to be asked in this thread.

What happened to Satoshi coins that were being auctioned here:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=791861

4 were sold after the completion of the auction and 1 was kept in personal collection.

What happened to coin #9 & #69 that were auctioned here:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=588389

Sold to a buyer who contacted me after the completion of the auction.

What happened to 4 Satoshi sample coins
https://ravenbit.com/2014/08/31/satoshi-mintage/

They were never for sale and I still have possession of them. I list them in the mintage for the sake of transparency and thoroughness. The samples do not have serial numbers and 2 of the 4 are partially "frosted" on the obverse. When I get a chance, I'll post a pic.

No problem. BadBear is your best bet I think perhaps he's busy at the moment, hopefully he'll look into it when he gets some time .

[IBGigglin]

For the record I sold 14 Ravenbits locally on the 23rd and 24th alone.

Only BadBear and Theymos can help MinerJones.

He already contacted me about this, but I couldn't help him. The only thing he can do is to send a signed message to BadBear/Theymos and hope they unban his account.
