I'm happy to finally bring this to the forum as it has been in the works for a couple of months. I've had the idea for over a year as I've searched for the best manufacturers available. I give you: "Bankers BTCeware" The first ever design that will be released under the "Be Your Own Bank" brand.

Special thanks goes out to Minerjones who's been extremely helpful in realizing this project and helping out with logistics and escrow services! A big thank you goes out to tothemoonsands for helping with designing the hologram and initial coin design. Would also like to extend a thank you to the community for being supportive while I've pursued this.


General Info:

The coin is .999 silver and weighs in at 1 Troy Ounce. On the obverse there's a custom design and this one will change with each release. On the reverse the name "Be Your Own Bank" prides the top to and from 12 o'clock. This will not change with potential future releases. There's a recessed circle in the middle where you can place a private key and cover it up with the included custom designed 4-layered hologram. At 6 o'clock the coins serial number is engraved.


The Design:

This, the first design, has been named "Bankers BTCeware". It depicts a bull that is charging against a banker who desperately tries to wave the bull off with his dollar bill. This commemorates the bull run that we've had this year as well as the numerous banks and bankers that have been claiming BTC as a bad investment, amazingly enough we've during this time even crossed both $10k & $11k per BTC.


What You Get:

The coin itself which is 39mm in diameter that was put in an air-tite right after mintage. As previously mentioned, a custom designed hologram (x2) as well as a custom designed leatherette coin case. A COA with all the coin information, a small image of the coin design and a row for you to place the printed public key is also included with each coin.


Logistics, Shipping & Payments:

I have worked closely with minerjones for this project as the mint is located in USA and it makes more sense to ship out individual coins from there rather than me getting charged 25% VAT and import tax just for receiving the coins. This means that minerjones will handle all of the shipping as well as being the escrow for this project. This is the only payment address that we will use for this design: 3A2icsU1w6jCXsjenajo9EVkzAjE7kGpbs. This was generated by minerjones for the purpose of this and he is in complete control of it. He'll also sign a message below which includes this information.
The price per coin will be: This does not include shipping, that will be based on your location. Please send a PM to either me or Minerjones before wanting to pay for your coin to get the total amount. The above price is tied to $95 and changes depending on the current BTC rate so make sure to update it before sending payment.



Release & Serials:

Auctions are over and we can now open up general sales! Serials 16-150 are available and you can see which coins have already been reserved > Here <. As reservations ran throughout the Auction there's been nice number of reservations already. Note that several coins had imperfections so we had to send them back to the mint to have them remade. Once we get them back the people that have had them reserved already will have first dibs, afterwards they will be released to the public for the same price as the other coins.


Limitations:

As the idea was always to create an affordable silver coin that could be used a cold storage wallet I've decided to limit the amount of coins one user can purchase to twelve (12) coins. This does not include the Auction however and is only of concern to the general sales. This limitation will be up for debate in the near future and is subject to change overtime but as of now that is what we will use.


Disclaimer:

I reserve the right for any mistyped information within this thread. I'll work hard to ensure that everyone feels happy with the end result of the product offered. In case you are charged with import or VAT charges myself, minerjones or Be Your Own Bank can not be held liable for any costs that may occur for you. We will work hard on having the coin/s with you prior to the holidays but this is not something that we can guarantee. This thread is subject to being updated daily.







Thank you All!

You should consider selling a black t shirt with that cool logo "Banking Is Necessary Banks Are Not" on the front.

These are sweet! Hey since you got such a great deal on the group buy for us I have a pretty decent chunk left over there, can we set some of these aside for me with some of that? If so count me in, Thanks!

A company called www.bitlabshop.com used to produce that logo on stickers and mousepads. Alas they are no longer in business.

Very good, thank you

ONLY 1 SWAG PACK LEFT!!!!  Cheesy

Can I get the final one? Combined with my coins from Hhampuz, since you are shipping the coins anyway.
I'd pay seperately with LTC or any other low-fee altcoin if possible.

So far sales are going great, still some people with reservations that are yet to reply to the PM's I've sent out but it is all good.

As for payments, please don't send in a payment without telling me that you are paying or by not sending me the txID, it can become extremely confusing if we are just receiving payments with no clue who sent it.

Still plenty of numbers left up for grabs, although we've already sold a lot of them. Feel free to ask if you have any questions at all Smiley.

Thank you all for the amazing support so far, it's been overwhelming!

Sure thing... it's yours.
Can be added to the payment if you would like or I can give you an LTC or even a Paypal address if wanted
Fantastic, if adding to the full payment in BTC is an option I'd definitly like to do it this way.
Thanks!
