Hello everyone!
Great news today! If you have or haven't been following the progress of Bitcoin Neon signs, here is a TLDR: They're finally finished!
Manufacturing - COMPLETED, NOW SHIPPING Backstory: Being from New York City, I am surrounded by all of the colors of the spectrum. For me, this was a no brainer, and I decided shops deserve to have the bit of flair they deserve. While the traction with BTC used to be slow, these days everything has changed. More people are buying, selling, adopting, and converting their storefronts to accept BTC at their locations. It is huge, and there is no obvious way other than stickers that shout out "HEY! WE ACCEPT BTC!". All signs will be shipped via:UPS for Domestic USA orders, including carrier insurance. USPS Express Mail International for those outside of the country, including carrier insurance. Ships from California and New York. Everything will have tracking, guaranteed. Pricing adjusts to current market scale @ $350 USD Base. Other information:I currently run, and own, Cryptocables and have been doing business for many years online in e-commerce. For more information about myself, please read the thread located here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=195520.0 if you are interested. Additionally, I moderate and represent a moderator of a major LTC pool located on #freenode. If you have any questions, I am usually there (or sleeping) under the nick #freenode - crypt0queen. Feel free to chat with me at any time. Let's change the way how people view storefronts on Bitcoin. It needs to be more widely accepted everywhere, and I am hoping that this design will at least help spark people's curiosity even if they don't know what it is. Estimated Shipping Date: Now! Cryptocables is shipping these signs full throttle. Want to grab one from us? Come visit! http://www.cryptocables.comhttp://www.cryptocables.comhttp://www.cryptocables.com

Same here, I just read the post twice. It looks really cool! I would love to know the price
Price is calculated and generated upon current BTC rates, however, its equivalent is currently at $250 USD fiat, shipping not included. That part is automatically calculated at checkout depending on where your location is since it's by weight and not all locations are created equal :)

No, but the packaging needs to be bulletproof and insured. Package handlers at airports are assholes What he said.

What he said. i have been in contact with neon glass before, its not easy to break. but i just assumed the shipper would ask for more cuz glass. i know more about neons than shipping :) I'm trying to cover all my basis as I want to remedy the negative vibes I get when unfortunate shipping incidents occur :P It's mostly just to protect the buyer. I'd rather be safe than sorry with packing regardless of how easy neons can or can't break. It's shitty to get a bad product because of mishandling; always disappointing.

but the glass is really much much stronger than it looks. you have to twist that shit to break it.
Good to know for future manufacturing! Cheers for sharing! :) The packing only adds an extra 1lb from the actual sign and stand it comes with though, so its not too much additional cost wise for shipping. If buyers look at the packing setup we have in the imgur album, I think the peace of mind is worth it alone. :D For those lurking, check out our production album here: http://imgur.com/a/qp3VA

Yeah shipping that far, especially to Australia, is regrettably awfully expensive. Trying to see what I can do about finding a distributor over there.

Hi guys I bought one of these rock solid bad-boys and received it last friday: Unboxed and reviewed in #bitcoin-otc on freenode. (terrible) Pics: http://imgur.com/a/XCL9R/ it's 55watts, miner nerds. Then I went for a ride with the sign in the back seat when suddenly this happened: Honey badger don't give a shit though, cause my sign still works: Thanks cyrt0queen for a solid product!

I picked up my sign last night from the UPS depot. It's a beautiful sign. Very well made and BIG! Now I just have to find a place to hang it!
I'd like to report that there was a $95 charge owing to UPS when I went to pick it up. I'm in Canada, so anyone else in Canada should expect this charge. The charge was about $30 for HST owing to the government and the rest was brokerage charges to UPS for clearing customs.
Also the tip-and-tell was entirely bright blue. Obviously UPS doesn't honour instructions clearly marked on the container. Otherwise, the sign was very, very well packed and unharmed despite the bungling of the carrier.
Thanks for a great product!

$325 seems like a bit much for a nightlight. Any idea when the LTC signs might be in stock again?
