[Interest Check] Blockchain at Berkeley Coin

[Zepher]

Just to make everything clear.

You are charging 0.11BTC for each coin, regardless of number, correct?

You stated that you will collect payment for the CoA in a few days, how much will that land on? I was under the impression the 0.11BTC included the CoA since you also stated that regardless of people getting it or not the cost would be 0.11BTC.

Thanks,

Hey Eodguy149

I received a message from you with a link to your post, asking for payment. I never actually reserved a coin, though it appears that someone (MJ ) reserved one (#11) on my behalf. (Thanks MJ!!)

If the final price is indeed 0.11 BTC, I am happy to take this coin. If the actual cost is more (0.2 BTC ??) then I will have to cancel, and allow someone else (MJ gets first dibs since he reserved it for me) to take the coin. Please clarify the final costs of these coins, as this sentence: "I will collect payment for the COA and other provenance in a few days." has me slightly confused.

Many thanks.

Isn't money very influential?

I will keep you all posted on progress made. Thank you all for your interest. I will worry about properly distributing these to interested buyers once they are complete. Right now I'm focusing on making sure these coins are perfect.  

The current distribution does have a single benefit, i.e. it is 1 coin per person username. However, not only can this easily be abused should the need arise, it has turned into another 'first-come-first-serve' scheme which has nothing to do with proper distribution. Moving on to:

Pricing:
#1-20: 0.2BTC
#21-30: 0.12BTC

0.2 BTC for 1 oz of silver? This is yet another example of nonsensical pricing within the abusive market of crypto-coin collecting. I have no idea why we are bothering with these low rates. Why not start at 0.5BTC?

My understanding is that the cost is 0.11 including shipping for coin (for those in US, international add $10).

The COA needs to be shipped separately and while the cost is included in the 0.11 for those with reservations 1-20, the only extra cost will be the shipping. Which would be an additional $5-10. No biggie!


Lauda and everyone remember this is a student run educational group!! This is not a Crypto coin manufacturer etc etc. All the profits generated from this will go to a good cause!! It is hard to find a comparable coin like this.

Sorry for the confusion! The 0.11BTC will be for the coin and the COA from the mint only. #1-20 will have the option to send an additional 0.08BTC to receive a hand signed COA on old paper with a wax seal and a picture of the Blockchain at Berkeley founders signed by all of us. I will call this the deluxe version for simplicity. If any individuals from the first 20 coins do not want the deluxe version they can get just the coin as other people with later reservations have been asking if they can get the deluxe version. No more than 20 people total will receive the deluxe version and I will ask down the line of reservations if any of the first 20 decide to not get the deluxe version and post recipients publicly for transparency.

Ah okay, well disregard my previous post everyone. Anyways, I want the COA! (Coin #3)

Does 0.08 including US shipping at least? It is pretty pricey

[chronicsky]

this seems good
I surely want my #2

do we get some pictures of the COA ?

I have an appointment to get them signed next week, I will post pictures of the finished product with the wax seal before then and then people who wish to purchase them can begin sending payment. I want to make sure everyone is happy with how they turn out before payments are sent.

[chronicsky]

Great!

paid for my #2 with COA to be shipped to MJ please

Thanks

Look forward to pictures of COA

[Eodguy149]

Just got the first seven coins shipped out! I will be doing the next shipment on Monday. 

[Eodguy149]

Has the amount that will be sold changed??

Seems like there are 28 coins being sold per your list.

That is correct. I changed the amount being sold on February 27th, the post can be seen on page four of this thread. I asked if anyone had any problems with the list change. I will update the OP to reflect that.

The issue I ran into was the fact that people had PM'd me requesting a coin at almost the same time as some individuals posted and with the club reserving two coins for display some individuals would have been bumped off the list of getting a coin and it made sense to slightly extend the list. Only the first 20 coins will come with a hand signed and wax sealed COA and a signed picture of the founders, that number has not changed. Only 20 of these deluxe version coins will be in existence, the total number of 100 minted coins has not changed either.

Another five coins have been shipped! If you haven't contacted me I will hold your coin until this Friday and then release it to others since many individuals want a lower numbered coin with the COA. Those that have already shipped, please let me know when your coin(s) arrive safe and sound!

What happened, I'm like 99% sure I was #7 as of a few days ago.   Am I wrong?

The list changed on February 27th. I asked if there were any comments or concerns due to the change. It has not changed since that date.

Coin came in today, looks great and thanks for the quick shipping.  I'll have to DIY it soon, looking forward to seeing how the hologram shines on an assembled coin. 

[tothemoonsands]
