Bitcoin Block, 2016 N Series: - 93 Titanium blocks - 1 Error block, double funding (blocks 418419 and 418427) Total made: 94
Bitcoin Block, 2015 N Series: - These were all mined in December of 2015, but saved until now, to make into Bitcoin Blocks Total made: 16
thanks, Bobby
What's happening with the error block? Are the 2015 N blocks going to be sold? (Bars labeled as 2015?) Also, when are the 12.5 blocks gonna be made/sold? We may sell the error block later, via auction. The 2015 N Blocks will also be sold soon. Yes, the bars are indeed labeled as 2015. They're already made, but we haven't had time yet to properly photograph them. We'll add them to store ASAP, but they will carry a slight premium over the 2016 N blocks. 12.5 blocks will also be sold, probably starting in early August. thanks, Bobby

Ask and you shall receive https://store.btcc.com/products/copy-of-2016-n-series-bitcoin-blockThis one is cheap, only 60BTC ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) And there are 7 of them, but maybe there was a typo in Bobby's comment above as it mentioned there was only 1. Bitcoin Block, 2016 N Series: - 93 Titanium blocks - 1 Error block, double funding (blocks 418419 and 418427) Total made: 94
Sorry I didn't specify properly. I have now edited the post to distinguish between "Doubles" (consecutive blocks mined, of where there are 7 pairs), and the "error" block, which was funded twice. Here's the proper store link for "Doubles": https://store.btcc.com/products/2016-n-series-bitcoin-block-double-setthanks, Bobby

Its not the biggest block,when I was helping at bitgold just when bitcoin was released I heard there was one block with a massive amount in it that would show after the second halving
Very true that there is much bigger blocks. But don't confuse it. It was the biggest block that BTCC mined (that we know of). Correct. Our claim is that of all of the Bitcoin Blocks mined by BTCC Mint (in 2015, 2016 both pre and post-halving), this is the largest single natural block, at over BTC26+. The "error" block was double funded and therefore is not a natural product. It was truly our error. thanks, Bobby

I knew there was going to be an error block! Gosh 50BTC + premium on it... Is that going to go up for auction? That will be the most unique block ever made (only one available). But I don't understand how that could have happened as the blocks are not consecutive as in the case of the 1BTC Twin coins. You guys mentioned that the Twins happened because sometimes you mine 2 blocks very quickly one after the other. There are 8 blocks between 418419 and 418427, that wouldn't be so fast right? And how about the 2015 ones? Will they be up for sale soon? Clarifying about the "twins" versus this "error". Both are sort of errors, but the twins case is that consecutive blocks get mined so quickly that some of our mining pool machines didn't get "reset" after we find a block, so they both get inadvertently mined to the same address. However, for this "error" block, what happened was a misconfiguration, where we made a regrettable mistake and actually assigned two jobs, and caused a double funding, to the same address. Since this was our fault, it didn't come in consecutive blocks, and we should not call it "twins" like before. Hope this makes sense! thanks, Bobby

Sounds like 2016 is going to be very interesting for us collectors and looking forward to what BTCC plans for upcoming releases. I do hope there will also be coins which are loaded with less than 1 BTC so to allow almost everyone who want to get some in.

Many thanks, it's going in a safe for now, if I can get ANACS to slab them then I may keep that one out as a paperweight or something in a secure location.

Will any of those artist proof 1 BTC coin be for sale? :O
Maybe.... some full disclosure: They're made in January of 2016, a gold-plated alloy (not quite sure if it was copper or bronze or some other combo). It's certainly gold in color, but it can wear off easily after enough physical handling. Further, the hologram was made where the address was laser-etched onto it (instead of black ink spray). The downside is that it's hard to see the bitcoin address on the hologram sticker, and can potentially wear off over time. Don't worry, the private key will still remain intact behind the hologram sticker. If there's interest, we can sell or auction a few of the ones we have left. Many have been redeemed in our testing process. thanks, Bobby

Although I am interested, I will probably not be a bidder. It's an expensive premium for 50.71528925 of BTC on a single item. I am sure someone would buy it; however, finding 5+ people interested in a short period of time (auction) (assuming they find the thread in that time frame) will be difficult.
