⭕️LEALANA BRASS XMR COINS FOR SALE ⭕️

[trbittr]

Just curious - Has anyone tested redeeming one of these yet? They are getting pretty high in loaded value, so I'm a bit nervous and thinking of peeling one to find out if noone else has yet? Thanks. 

That's a good question, I don't believe I've seen one stated to be redeemed and I'm wondering the same.  I don't think you'll have any problem and if you peel one please let us know the outcome. 

I should have one in hand in a week or two that I plan to peel. I don't expect any issues, and will post the outcome. 

Yes, please keep us updated.
Let us know also how you redeemed it.
Thanks

Lealana 5 XMR Brass Redemption Experiment:

Today I received the coin I'm going to peel.

I looked up the instructions:

How would one redeem a LEALANA PHYSICAL MONERO (XMR) coin?
1. Peel back hologram exposing base64 private spend key
2. Convert base64 key to hexadecimal
3. Run the following (syntax may vary for different operating systems):
        a. ./simplewallet --generate-from-keys <yourwalletname>
        b. Input standard address (xmr address)
   
        c. Input hex spend key (from step #2)
   
        d. Input hex view key (from file or COA)
4. In order to spend/transfer them you will need to make sure your daemon is up to date on the monero main net.

Then realized....

I can't redeem it without:

1. The coins XMR address
2. The view key for the address from the COA.

What this means: (PLEASE correct me if I am wrong)!!! 

1. In my case, I have neither, as I received this from another forum member to help me test it - I am waiting to find if he has this information.
2. Anyone with a slabbed coin or otherwise, and DOES NOT have a paper or digital certificate for the coin #, will not be able to redeem it...  (This is not good as I have seen many coins around the forum that people don't have COA's for, and the last 2 rolls of brass coins I purchased, I was never offered the certs, I had to ask, so hopefully anyone else out there got theirs as well).

.... Update coming soon!!! Thanks!!

Lealana 5 XMR Brass Redemption Experiment:

Today I received the coin I'm going to peel. Brass #686

First, I looked up the instructions that smoothie put on the OP of the silver coin thread.

Then, I realized I didn't have all the info I needed like view key and coin address, just the private key.

I posted about this earlier, then Hellot was kind enough to post this link - https://monero.stackexchange.com/questions/4570/i-have-a-private-key-for-a-monero-address-which-application-lets-me-load-in-a-c/4572

So, that brings me to the full instructions now that I have gotten through the stupidity of my brain and typos!

1. Peel the coin
2. Convert the Base64 key to Hexadecimal (DO THIS PART OFFLINE!!!) - (Google is your friend).
3. Download this zip file https://github.com/luigi1111/xmr.llcoins.net & Extract it anywhere, and then load site/addresstests.html in a browser
4. On the top of the page, paste your Hexadecimal string you got from step 2 into Field 2. (Hexadecimal seed)
5. Click on the "Gen 1." to get the mnemonic seed

Ok, now that we have all that done, let's go back to smoothie's original instructions:

How would one redeem a LEALANA PHYSICAL MONERO (XMR) coin?
1. Peel back hologram exposing base64 private spend key
2. Convert base64 key to hexadecimal
3. Run the following (syntax may vary for different operating systems):
        a. ./simplewallet --generate-from-keys <yourwalletname>
        b. Input standard address (xmr address)
  
        c. Input hex spend key (from step #2)
  
        d. Input hex view key (from file or COA)
4. In order to spend/transfer them you will need to make sure your daemon is up to date on the monero main net.

At this point, we have all the info we need to do all of this starting with step a, however, it's much easier to restore from the mnemonic seed, IMO, so let's do that instead and save some time and headaches:

Note, "simplewallet.exe" is now called "monero-wallet-cli.exe" (I'm on windows for this example, apologies).

Now, we will simply use monero-wallet-cli.exe --restore-deterministic-wallet, hit enter, give the wallet a name, then paste or type the 25 mnemonic seed when you are prompted.

C:\Users\me\Desktop\monero-gui-0.11.0.0>monero-wallet-cli.exe --restore-deterministic-wallet
Monero 'Helium Hydra' (v0.11.0.0-release)
Logging to C:\Users\me\Desktop\monero-gui-0.11.0.0\monero-wallet-cli.log
Specify a new wallet file name for your restored wallet (e.g., MyWallet).
Wallet file name (or Ctrl-C to quit): new.bin
Generating new wallet...
Specify Electrum seed: unveil oxxxx xxxx xxxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx etc etc etc
Enter new wallet password: *
Confirm Password: *
Generated new wallet: 453xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
View key: 8bxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
**********************************************************************
Your wallet has been generated!
To start synchronizing with the daemon, use "refresh" command.
Use "help" command to see the list of available commands.
Always use "exit" command when closing monero-wallet-cli to save your
current session's state. Otherwise, you might need to synchronize
your wallet again (your wallet keys are NOT at risk in any case).


PLEASE NOTE: the following 25 words can be used to recover access to your wallet. Please write them down and store them somewhere safe and secure. Please do not store them in your email or on file storage services outside of your immediate control.

xxxxx xxxx  xxxxx ......
**********************************************************************
Restore from specific blockchain height (optional, default 0),
or alternatively from specific date (YYYY-MM-DD):
Starting refresh...
Height 376191 / 1404223

I'm sure this could be adapted for use with the GUI, however, I don't have time for that. I have to now send the 5 XMR back to the friend who sacrificed his coin for this test.

Huge Thanks go out to user comit for sacrificing his coin for this experiment! If anyone has anything to add or fix, let me know!

[comit]

Thank you for doing this owlcatz, and for the clear tutorial!

I think a lot of us - including me - will be secretly relieved.

No, thank you for sacrificing such a nice coin, it's a shame actually, but good to know we can redeem them without any COA's etc etc.

After I got the CLI wallet set up, I simply typed save, then I opened the GUI and just opened that wallet's *.keys file and voila, it opened in the gui just perfectly. I try and keep things simple and just use one single character for a wallet password. I'm reaching the point where I'm so confident with my monero wallets that I don't even worry about corruption like with BTC. I can always restore from the mnemonic seed, without fail.

Thanks again, hope you got the XMR back to your account minus the fees!

I'm going to auction off the coin now. Cheers!  

[OneNattyLitecoin]

Thank's 🦉 🐱 z!

It's going to be either a very good or very bad day if I ever have to use this tutorial!

[BookofNick]

I am interested in buying a roll as well! Please PM.

[djjacket]

For those interested, have you attempted to email smoothie?

SMOOTHIE@LEALANA.COM

[ChiBitCTy]

I normally don’t buy coins outside of BTC versions but this coin is really cool. I am interested in buying one if anyone is willing to sell. Thx!

[sweeteye]

owlcatz and comit - you're heros for doing this 4 years ago!
it's amazing to be able to search through the history of this place and find exactly what I needed to know.
just wanted to say thanks

I think I would blow out a blood vessel if smoothie came back and offered .999 silver Monero coins in lower denominations (>1) with COAs.

A project like that would absolutely blow my mind.

[Cryptogreatdane]

Almost shit my pants. Thought he was back with new stuff. Ive been waiting for years to catch Smoothie with a new project. Then realized its an old post. lol.. lame..

Always a day late and a dollar short. I'm sure he's coming back someday with something awesome. Those Monero bars he made last year with the Samurai are awesome. Thanks for the info, I'm going to read through that thread.

I'm not so sure.  He caught a lot of flack for those bars (while being beautiful) for being basically a copy of Kialara's to the T but with his own design.  He was quite rude about things the entire time, he refuses to help anyone out with past product sale questions ets.  The last time I messaged him after sending him a sizable order he never responded back.  Would it kill him to at least say "sorry we've sold out" or whatever.  Quite frankly I'm done doing any business with him as I don't appreciate the way he treats his customers or perspective customers.   I also don't like that he doesn't produce the pub-key list like many vendors do.  If he ever reads this my suggestion would be to treat people better, it's not hard to do man.

Since i have never done business personally with him I cant have an opinion on that. I have heard that from others, everything your saying. I think part of it may come down to flying under the government radar. Ive been to Hawaii, they hate us over here, maybe he hates mainlanders, lol. Whatever the reason his elusiveness leads to rarity of product. I firmly believe his coins will be the greatest collectable someday. I almost hope he goes back to BTC coins. Easier to verify and manage. I hope he realizes with a little bit of organization he's sitting on a legit business that could be a goldmine someday. I do hope everyone gets treated with respect, good point Chi

[ChiBitCTy]

I've done a lot of business with him over the years off and on ofc like everyone else since 2015 or so... He's always treated me quite well, but I'm guessing because I don't fuck up or cause drama/bs, and I'm also prompt on payments and loading, as I know the faster I get it done, the quicker they ship etc etc.

He has always been a fierce privacy advocate, so I don't fault him for not listing his public addresses or giving info to others about re-sold coins, as if you have done business with him, you've probably read his TOS LOL....

I also always knew he was quite long on XMR even before it was worth a dollar, so kind of expected something, just not those awesome silver 3-coin sets right when XMR mooned lol... 🤷‍♂️

He also made me an awesome rainbow blank .25 on my last order of rainbow nickels and dimes, so no complaints here (and no, no hologram sorry lol )



Lastly, he promised me a copy of the first issue of KIZEKRA comics last year, supposedly due out this year, but my PM's and emails to him have gone unanswered like everyone else nowadays...

Anyhow, that's typical smoothie I think.... He takes off on vacation/holiday or whatever, and lets shit build up then is probably like wtf, how can I possibly reply to all this crap lol?

IDK, I've always been a huge fan of his coins, and remember his weekly auctions he used to run for rolls of lealana dimes when 0.1 btc was like 50 bucks ... Damn I wish I had a time machine!

JMO OFC 🤷‍♂️

Edit - the bars he made are really one of a kind, despite the thing about Max/Kialara - Smoothie went super far on the packaging as well as the rainbow steel plates showing the certs etc... Simply beautiful stuff that nobody is ever going to resell, just like the King Kahemena coins we NEVER see for resale here!

Yeah he makes some amazing stuff, the King K is one of my all time favorite coins period, crypto or not ( I have standing offer of one kidney for a set of these   ).  What really burns my buns is I was on the forum when he released it, but I was a noob and had no clue what I was doing or what was good to buy or not.  I can still feel the kick in the nuts for not having bought those to this day lol.  I hear ya owl, sweet custom coin! My thing is I wish he'd treat people a little better, doesn't take too much to be friendly.
