HARD COVER Encyclopedia + RARE Autograph Edition

[bithalo]

Just a heads up that most of the makers have agreed to provide holos so far.  I'm still working on this to try to get confirmation from all the makers who are signing.  Nobody has said no yet.  I'm very excited and appreciate all the support from them.

Are all gone ?

Also, just to reconfirm 250$ is for books + 170$ extra for signs/autographs - right ?

3 books total are gone so far.

Not sure what you mean ^^. $400 covers the book and the labels, with the 'normal' books priced at $150, and label base price set by bithalo being $225. Since you have bought books from me previously, you qualify fora discount making it below $400 for an Autograph Edition.

I've had some new additions to the signatures since elianite started this thread:

MrWhiteBites (Cryptogifts Bitcoin, Litecoin, Peercoin, and I/O Tokens)
ny2cafuse (Guldencoin)
cryptonic21 (Cryptonic Monero & Bitcoin)
AussieBTCs
CoinHoarder (Cryptovest Litecoins)
serp

The first batch has sold!

[elianite]

#1 has sold via private sale for $1500.

The number of signatures has now grown to 26, and there will be 12+ holograms, plus unmentioned extras.

Matthew is going through the book looking for needed edits. Looks like there are several on each page... This version will be much better than the original paperback!

[bithalo]

The count is currently at 30 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 11 out of the 30 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.

Any status updates?

Maybe there should be a public/private key pair within the Encyclopedia. Then you could say:

"It's a book about physical bitcoins. The beauty is, if you don't have a physical bitcoin, this book IS a physical bitcoin!"

I'll let Elianite confirm, but I believe we will be doing that again, like we did for the Signature Edition softcover.  I expect that minerjones will be assembling them this time using the same holograms I provided for the Signature Edition.

Also with regards to the autographs..so far I have received back 20 out of 35 coin makers' labels:  (* makers included their holos too)

* Anarcoins (bigtimespaghetti)
   BitcoinPenny (also with a doodle sketch)
* Criptoe Guldencoin
   Cryptogifts (tokens only)  
* Cryptofreeze
* CryptoImperator
* Cryptolator
* Cryptovest
* FiniteByDesign
   Genesis Coins
   Kialara
* Lealana
* Luckybit
   mjb Monetary Metals
* Nasty Fans
* ometeotl
   Satori
* Serp
* Shibanu
* TitanBTC

Plus I have only holograms (no signatures) now for:
* Ravenbit

My softcover first edition signature series has a holo on it, but I don't know the public key!

How much is a hardcover going for and are any even left with all the sigs as well? Thanks. Sorry, been too busy this summer to keep up.

Elianite has a list of the public keys for the softcover signature edition.  When he returns from vacation, he can provide that info.

He is also handling sales of the hardcover.  He is handling pricing, generally based on the serial number.  Pricing is likely $550+.

I think a few are left of the Autograph Edition (20 made) and there are more available of the regular Hardcover (30 made), which I believe are $150.

minerjones is handling distribution of the upcoming Hardcovers.

minerjones is putting together the specs/photos/writeup for the new coin makers added to the Encyclopedia.  I'm helping a little with editing.  He will handle sales distribution and assembly of the autographs/holos of the Autograph Edition.

The rest of the text has been edited, but it all needs to be put together in a larger margin format for the hardcover. 

I think timetable is roughly 4 weeks from now to be sent to print, which is coinciding with my deadline for the remainder of the autographs, still to be returned back to me.  I have 23 coin makers out of 34 sent back to me so far.   19 sets of holograms back so far.

Elianite can confirm when he returns from vacation.

Thanks for the update. Really hope we get more of the holos back

[smoothie]

Looking forward to this. =)

Update?

[elianite]

Update?

Re-format should be ready on Sunday. Printing is expected to begin in a week or so.

About five Autographs Edition's are still available.

[bithalo]

As far as the autograph labels/ holos go, I'm waiting on Supreme BTC and Silver Wallets.   The last post in my Autograph thread in my sig is up to date regarding what's included.

[smoothie]

Just checking in to see where things are at, time frame estimates to shipping.
