[INTEREST CHECK] - Autographs for the Encyclopedia of Physical Bitcoins

[smoothie]

I'm hoping to have all of my labels and holograms all done lasered signed etc by end of next week. Probably shipped by the following monday.

Sorry for the delay. In Hawaii time moves slower. J/k it's been a busy summer.

 

Which island?

The Big Island.

The count is currently at 29 coin makers and it may grow a few more.  Almost all coin makers that do holos are providing them so far.  I may even include a few extra holos from makers not on the list to sign.

Just an update...

So far I've received back around 10 out of the 29 label sets I mailed out.  I sent a reminder to some coin makers today.  Since I want to have all or the majority back in, it may still be another 6 weeks before the sets are ready for sale.  I would rather delay the sets and provide the largest amount of signed labels and holos as possible than to rush it.  Some coin makers outside of the US may have to deal with slower mail which causes delays.

Added brand new coin maker Rmcdermott927 (Cryptocracy).    The list is now 30 coin makers.

Still trying for a few more like Alitin, BTCC, Nolacoins, Ravenbit, bhCoins and some others.

Also minerjones was kind enough to donate a full set of 50 holos from Ravenbit, as well as a limited number of bhcoins holos, which I can only offer to those purchasing a loose set.   Both coin makers are currently not signing labels, but now their holos are being added.

I appreciate all the hard work that is going into this and I'm glad to hear Ravenbit holos (thanks MJ!) were added!

You're welcome.  This project is something I think is pretty cool to have and rather unique to have mostly all of the coin makers signatures and holograms together in one project.  Its been great to have the involvement of most of the entire community of makers.

Its certainly taking a toll on my time, in trying to use email, PM, facebook, linkedin, smoke signals, carrier pigeons, etc..  for some of the last holdouts that I think deserve to be included.  But I can't be too much of a nag either.

But yes, once again minerjones has shown to be a great asset to our community.   Thank you mj!!!

Just to confirm, are the holo and signatures collected only going to be part of the 20 signature edition books?

I'm reposting this from an earlier post...

There will be 50 sets in total (containing both signatures and holos).  Approximately 15 gifted to the first coin makers that prefer them that are signing.  Then another 20 allocated to Elianite to make the Hardcover Autograph Edition.  3 allocated to Minerjones for resales of the softcovers with the sets installed, and then the remaining 10 or so loose sets to be sold by me as auction or sales.

Ok thanks. Thought they were exclusive to Elianite's book hence why the increase in price for it (the 20 signature editions).
So that doesn't make the book so exclusive if people can get these elsewhere unless, of course, there will be other extras just for the book.

There will be 20 limited Autograph Edition (AE) hardcovers, and I believe 30 regular hardcovers.  A loose set of labels along with a regular hardcover will likely be priced close to a Autograph Edition hardcover.  So they will be similar.

Likely difference is that the set of 20 AE will be stamped inside and numbered out of 20, with the serial numbers lower from 1-20.  

I expect the regular hardcovers to be stamped and numbered differently, out of 30, numbers starting from 21-50.

A loose set allows one to add them to a regular hardcover, regular softcover, Signature ed. softcover, or just keep them kept separate from the book.  These will come with a leather/leatherette card holder for display, for shipping and storage/display purposes.

I will only have about 10 loose sets to sell that someone may add to the book of their choice, so if you want a Hardcover and autographs/holos, the AE may be your best choice to ensure you get both.

A picture I received today of an incoming shipment...

From bitguy (he does Cryptofreeze coins on ebay) ...

Serial numbered labels for the holos, each loaded by him with .001B

^^^ Looking good. I wish my signature was 1/2 as sexy as that. 

I got my signed labels and holograms in the mail today.

[moonrock]

I really want to get one of the signed books. What will it set me back? I'll take any number.

Thank you sir.  Cryptovest was probably my very first physical bitcoin, so its an honor.

Elianite handles all book sales, so I would direct you to him.  Though he is going on vacation very soon and may not be able to reply promptly.

I believe the 20 Autograph Edition Hardcovers are being reserved now and prices are TBD.  Its difficult for Elianite to price them, as they depend on my labels price, which I cant give yet until I know the amount of coin makers that have sent theirs back.  Regular Hardcovers might be signed by Elianite.  Both hardcovers havent been produced yet.

There are also Elianite signed First Edition softcovers in stock and available from minerjones.  He can tell you prices, but they are likely around $70 give or take.

Awesome! Thanks for including me, this is an awesome project. I look forward to hopefully snagging one of these from you!
