[WTS] QUETZALCOATL BITCOIN

[defcon23]

After Ometeotl Bitcoin series, I would like to present today the first Quetzalcoatl Bitcoin.

Aztec name of a pre-Columbian deity .
In the Nahuatl language, the name is a set of sacred words quetzal meaning "bird", "flying" or "precious" and Coatl, "snake" or "twin". Thus Quetzalcoatl could mean "bird-serpent", "precious serpent", "precious twin" or "twin wheel".

This coin comes with a face value of 0.1 BTC and comes UNFUNDED,
UNASSEMBLED, as a DIY coin. Overwise, on specific and individual request, it could be already assembled.
I have decided to sell those coins unassembled ( as a DIY coin ) to avoid trust and security issues.. This mean that you have to generate your public & private keys by yourself, using an offline version of Bitaddress.

https://www.bitaddress.org

Specifications:

Coin Size: 31mm (Diameter)
Thickness: 2.5mm
Max mintage :  100 for each material ( 999 fine Bronze & 999 fine copper with antique polish )
Material: - 999 fine Bronze:                                100 coins  individualy numbered from 001 to 100
               - 999 fine copper with antique polish:  100 coins  individualy numbered from 001 to 100

What you get: ( for one coin )

One Quetzalcoatl Physical Bitcoin
One security tamper evident hologram
One coin protective capsule ( air-tite )
One Black Velvet bag/ Pouch
One Quetzalcoatl certificate of authenticity (COA)

Price: + shipping cost  ( special thanx to Ognasty for dynamic BTC price tool ! )

Accept ONLY Bitcoins as a payment
Payment must be sent directly  to this address :   1KoHGza35TqMDisnKiNXSCDtae3WbFAtSd

-The 23 BTC  and 23 stars logos represent my makers past and current connection to the coins..
-The number 23 calls on my past of music production and ties together with my current love of crypto-currencies And they are also tied together with a new hologram - which is the "face" of "defcon23" avatar..


-Orders are Open right now !

Great looking coin defcon
Pure bronze is actually one of my favourite metals. These will be a lot heavier and very solid in comparison to your previous coins!
Good job on getting your avatar out there with the holograms They do look good.

[CanaryInTheMine]

Looking good!  We can now expect more homage to the gods of South America ?

I'd like to reserve a set with lowest serial numbers available.  Might be #17 if the list is up to date

@bithalo,  no problem for #17 , but according to my pre-reservations list, you already got #12 reserved...  do you want to add this set so ?

and yes, they have increased in weight, as they are pure bronze & pure copper , in comparaison to ometeotl coins, which are zinc alloy with plating...

I couldn't find it in the first post of this thread which is where that should be stated.  Your previous answer to Canary makes it sound like you won't be releasing a "new" coin, but leave it open for interpretation if you are going to release another finish of this QUETZALCOATL coin like the last series.

I will state this again, you should want to work on improving your customer interaction.  I would have been completely fine with a "No, we will not be releasing any other finishes of this coin", but instead I read a message that makes me think you believe I have the time / desire to read your universe of replies to other users.

If it's a question you get asked repeatedly, put it in the OP to avoid having to answer it every 2-3 pages of the thread. 

[hybridsole]

It would be offensive to the Mayan gods if I didn't order a set of these...  Looking forward to getting them. 

In regards to digicoinuser's comment, I agree that there should be some more clarity around Defcon's releases.  What we need is a "Defcon Coin Reference" thread (similar to the Ravenbit reference thread) which gives details around the Ometeotl series and the Quetzalcoatl series.  He can also put a placeholder for future coins since he hinted to me that the next release won't have anything to do with Mayan gods. This will help establish a brand for Defcon and drive more sales by collectors who haven't been paying close attention. 

[Lauda]

Where do I find the list of people that reserved/got the sets numbered < #10? I think I've asked about this on IRC, but didn't get a clear answer. I may only be interested in the series if I'm able to acquire a low number. The coin itself does look decent.

I agree that's a solid idea to organize all the information from Defcon's releases into one place.

[greenplastic]

Received! Nice coins, along with certificates/holograms. 

Thank you.

[digicoinuser]

My set came in over the weekend, they look great and I was really impressed with the details on the coins.  

One question, why is the recess on the back of the coin is so deep?

[coin@coin]

Apart from the private key you can store some secret stuff init? 

[defcon23]

One question, why is the recess on the back of the coin is so deep?

it's a personal choice, to allow :
1:  the possibility to platstify the private key label on each faces ( for durability )
2:  the possibility to add a second label ( plastified too) with QR code for an easy readability of it..

i personaly used to add the two labels formats.

Thanks for the information, sounds like a novel idea!  I might have to coat a private key with something for longevity before assembly.  

[garciaor2002]

Received mine.
Thanks

[AT101ET]

The pictures really capture the coin design nicely. They do look great indeed!
May I ask how big the key recession (area) is? It looks much deeper than those of redeemed Cas/Lealana coins.
Thanks
