Interesting chips you got there. Congrats on the release. Can you explain the difference with the giveaway chips vs. The chips you have for sale?
The changes are all on the "front": On the "Artist Proofs" of the 1K chips, we screwed up with the flower/leaves design. They're supposed to each have 21 "leaves", on each left, right side. But somehow, we overlooked the fact that it was inadvertently reduced to 19 "leaves". My design decision was that the two branches of 21 leaves is the perfect number, to honor both the 21 million bitcoins, and the 21 trillion bits in eventual total circulation. So this means that the "19 leaves" design had to be re-done! ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) I bet you guys didn't even notice that the branches each had 21 leaves! It's been that way since our One Bitcoin! And since we had to re-do the front side, we changed a few more things: - removed the year "2016", as we will use the same chips when we make and mine them in 2017 - made the background BTCC logo color more prominent - added URL at bottom, for our new website: http://www.btcc.mobi/ - This would allow anyone who receives a coin to go lookup and find out more about BTCC Mint coins, and how to redeem, and also promote our awesome new mobile wallet, called Mobi. - moved the "3 stars" to top, below the "C Series" label Best part: the new Mobi wallet will have native functionality to redeem BTCC Mint coins (for both manual private key format or scanning QR code), and even handles redeeming multiple coins for bulk and batch processing. You guys have to check it out: https://www.mobi.me/thanks, Bobby

I had a look around the site... I really like your products, they look sweet but I think anyone buying this stuff is nuts. Take for example the set of 5 x 5 Bitcoins, your asking price is 32BTC. Basically I would be paying 7BTC for the artwork, a bit of titanium (which is not expensive) and a wooden box. That's around US$5,000 which I think is outrageous. So... yeah, cool stuff, liking the innovation but ... seriously you all need to be committed.
I can only imagine how silly this thread is going to be in 2 years from now when BTC is $5,000. It will be bitcoin pizza 2.0. People paying $35,000 for a wooden box wtf.

The picture of the 200 chip case shows what looks like 2 packs of BTCC branded playing cards.
Are they included? If so are the cards BTCC branded/designed?

It's true that the 5 x Five Bitcoin is priced at a premium. But the way we look at it, it's premium priced not because of the wooden box, but rather the fact that you're getting 5 huge Titanium coins, the largest of its class, containing pristine Bitcoins, newly mined and all from the same block. A piece of history, not to mention the limited issuance. Never again! The only analogy, let's use gold here, would be to get 5 of the largest gold coins, straight from a world class gold mine, all created from a single nugget of gold, mined and created on the same day, without any impurities or recycling of gold from other sources. New and pristine. And you know what: limited edition and any large gold coins (5+ oz!or 1 Kg bar) command a larger % premium over regular 1 oz coins. And of course you would get a really nice wooden box with that! That's our explanation of our pricing premium at both ends of the spectrum: the larger the piece, the higher the premium. Smaller pieces also have higher premiums (when measured as a percentage) due to their manufacturing inefficiencies. And like you said, all this will be moot in a few years when BTC is over $5,000+. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) (I think it will happen, which is why we prominently list our coins in the Bits unit of Bitcoin.) Also sort of like how people reacted to the amazing 1,000 BTC Casascius coin when that was released. No one bothered buying it, and look, now there are only 3 in existence! Thanks, Bobby

Thanks, Bobby I think your coin prices are more than fair overall. My favorite part is the fresh coins they get funded with...really unique. Keep up the great variety and can't wait to see what you guys create next.

Today we launched Bitcoin Chips, a new set of fun and affordable bitcoin collectibles for bitcoin enthusiasts. Bitcoin Chips come in six denominations that range from 1,000 bits (0.001 bitcoins, roughly $0.70) to 500,000 bits (0.5 bitcoins, roughly $356.10). ... Hi Bobby, I ordered some of these great looking chips but it seems that there might be a problem with my order. The webpage didn't refresh after I paid via my Electrum wallet. The Tx also took very long time to confirm but it's ok in the blockchain now. I didn't get a confirmation email from BTCC neither ![Embarrassed](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/embarrassed.gif) I mailed to support@ yesterday but till now I didn't receive any reply. Could you help me out please? Thanks. edit: got in touch with support

Question:
For a roll of chips - would the serial #'s be sequential or random?
