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

[owlcatz]

I know, right? I bet the guy is laughing at us right now, I probably would be!

[bitenvy]

Brand new uncirculated bitcoins, fresh from the blockchain block reward, the coinbase transaction. First time ever for a physical bitcoin! Newly mined, without any transaction records whatsoever.

Now that's interesting.
But newly mined blocks without any transactions, would mean that we'd have to pay 12.5BTC for the funding + whatever the coins cost, right?

I don't understand, bitcoins are bitcoins, whether they are freshly mined or not, there is no extra value (IMO) to fresh vs. coins with taint.

And cryptoheadd, don't you mean .125 BTC like OP says?

No no.
For freshly mined bitcoins (no transactions) the coin would need to contain an address with a mined block, right?
And the reward of 1 block would be 12.5 btc?

These will not be sold as 12.5BTC coins.  Therefore, these will not be "without any transaction records whatsoever" as mentioned by BTCC Official.  We just won't see it.  The Chinese miners have a lot of control over mining ops, so there will likely split the miner reward/payment directly to these coins somehow (likely very small denominations of 0.01 or even smaller to mass produce these like the Satori coins).  So far it looks cheaply made (likely mass produced because again, China).  If just a prototype and it will actually be a precious metal (silver) instead, then I will retract my comments.  But, I doubt it.  The one special quality is the "freshly mined".  It's an interesting concept, but ehhh...

If the coin is loaded with 12.50 bitcoins, it will be out of my possibilities. But with the pictures posted till now it don't seems a silver coin, and with this amount of bitcoins i think the coins have to be made of silver, not from cheaper metals.

it would be fun to see 12.5 dirextly from block though like many here ,too high for pocket..

what do u mean by this amount of coins .Has the OP stated about the number  of coins anywhere yet??

I think it's a hint at the (possibly huge) amount of various coins being teased/presented/sold currently,
not one at the numbers of coins minted for this specific series.

oh ok
that sounds about right but is it really so that silver will be better choice of metal since there are so many being minted?

[BTCC_Official]

Yes, it will be huge!  One million bits!
:-)

What would the ideal physical bitcoin be made of? Bitcoin is the world’s first and most successful digital cryptocurrency, the strongest of them all. What would be the ideal material? Come back tomorrow...

[chronicsky]

Great so it's 0.01 BTC

[chronicsky]

Hoping something like this



Couldn't figure out the BTCC and Newly Mint
I guess BTCC will be in either back or below 2016 V series and newly mint is just a Pic ?


EDIT : i got a feeling the bitcoin and Crypto pics can be swapped

[cryptoheadd]

Greaat.
0.01BTC with a cheap metal would probably cost us 0.03 w/ shipping.

Can't wait for launch.

I think 100k bits mean 0.1btc and not 0.01BTC.
So it will cost more than you expected.

first its 1000k bits and 1000k bits mean 1 BTC but i took he meant  satoshi so i did calculation by 1000k satoshi's which is 0.01 BTC

Wow a lot of confusion here, he typed 1000k bits so that mean 1BTC.
So bro why did you think he mean 1000k satoshi!!!
No offence though

Yeah none taken

Just because it would be strange to write 1000,000 Bits which is 1 Bitcoin But even the coin says 1000,000 Bitcoin - why not write 1 Bitcoin

Or maybe they are trying to do something new this way and i didn't accept it mentally

0.01 or 1 BTC - both are Welcome though i'll prefer 1 BTC unfunded

Now that's impressive

[bithalo]

Sorry, but thats a letdown for me.  Coins I've seen with that material often have a rough texture, and IMHO dont have that premium look.  Helps explain the teaser pics we've been seeing.

Its a great material for airplanes, not so much for collectible coins.

Titanium Prices are about $6 / ounce, compared to silver at around $16.50.

Yep, titanium is really difficult to machine into a coin, and results usually look rough.

They need to polish these coins up.  Then, it may look OK.  These coins look very rough.
