Companies claiming they got hacked and lost your coins sounds like fraud so perfect it could be called fashionable.  I never believe them.  If I ever experience the misfortune of a real intrusion, I declare I have been honest about the way I have managed the keys in Casascius Coins.  I maintain no ability to recover or reproduce the keys, not even under limitless duress or total intrusion.  Remember that trusting strangers with your coins without any recourse is, as a matter of principle, not a best practice.  Don't keep coins online. Use paper or hardware wallets instead.
Bitcoin mining is now a specialized and very risky industry, just like gold mining. Amateur miners are unlikely to make much money, and may even lose money. Bitcoin is much more than just mining, though!

Wait what? Is this an actual advertisement for those islands or some kind of play on words talking about your coins?

Ahh, I see. It looks like someone is trying to sell a picture book about bitcoin/physical coins(?) (it really looks a lot cooler then I am describing).

@casascius - do you happen to know who is behind this website/venture? I am curious to know if the person behind the book is reputable enough to be sure this is legit.

Not personally - but I ordered the book and will let you know if I get what I was promised!

I have every reason to believe it's legit - who'd go to all the trouble of this photoshoot only to renege on the promise of delivering them in print?

IIRC pricey for a book - like $150 (?)

That said, I won't be shocked if he still sells the whole run!

Looks like the book owners are put into a raffle for that Casascius gold bar after the halving, so that's close right?

Ha ha, cool that you ordered the book Smiley
Not sure the seller realize how important that one single order is.

Forget about the silly girl, the bar can be yours:

Cryptography is one of the few things you can truly trust.
