Bernard von NotHaus is not involved.
The article headline is misleading, the lower court case for him is not yet settled, he has not been sentenced and has a motion before the court for acquittal.
We would maintain that he is not guilty of any current law, and innocent of any wrongdoing, and that the prosecution has not proved their case, but the jury was bamboozled.  Hopefully justice will prevail.

He has suffered much at the misguided efforts of the federal prosecution, we wish him well.

As described and pictured:  #22 of 40 of the first strike pieces minted for the marketing and promotion.
Likely this will be the only auction of these pieces as these are generally reserved to be awarded for those contributors and supporters of the project that have distinguished themselves in some way, so this is your opportunity to join our team by participating in our first BitCoinTalk auction

Included is one Bitcoin Cold Hard Cash .999 fine silver 1 ounce piece, airtite container, display case, certificate of authenticity.  USPS Priority Shipping will be added to the winning bid, insured at the option of the winner.  May the best win, good luck!

   

The auction will start at 0.01 BTC and will end when 24 hours elapse after the last bid, at whatever price that may be.  Please bid by reply to this or another "Auction" subject post within this thread so as to be clear that the post is intended as a bid.

Thanks, you made me realize I misread the auction; I thought it ended 24 hours after the auction started! But I get it now...

The OP has been updated with the release pricing.

This auction is for one of the pre-release pieces.  It is for one of the "first strike" pieces special minted for the marketing.  It is something more for the collector than for people that want them to use them.  The general release strikes will be made by the 1000s or 10000s.  There are only 40 of these.

We are taking pre-orders if you want to lock in the silver price at current level, but we aren't really expecting many folks to be buying singles, at least not from us.  Most of our orders tend to be 100+.  We will take orders of any size, but if you are looking for just a single, you are paying full retail + shipping so you will not be getting the best deal around.  Premium goes down with quantity fairly sharply so if you just want a few, you would do better to hook up with a larger quantity buyer and get them discounted + share the shipping costs, etc.

We almost certainly won't be auctioning more of these on BitCoinTalk.  The market here is pretty thin (very few bidders).  I doubt any of the folks that have been awarded these would let them go for this, but we did want to at least provide the opportunity for our supporters here to get a chance at one of these.  You have all been very good to us and we are grateful for that!  Thank you for bidding.
