It seems that first informations were already available on 14 May 2019 ^[5]

PART 2
Austrian postage are famous for their innovations. It seems that this time they have launched something pretty interesting that can receive a lot of attention also from "the masses" and not only from collectors.
Plus they have achieved the interest of an entire Blockchain communities, since the buzz-word on these last days around these stamps is already enormous.
I decided to create this guide / catalog in order to have a common basis for discussion, evaluation and classification of this specific stamp.
Please see PART 5 for "definitions" and PART 7 with some useful links for any biggest update.

PART 3
There are 5 tokens available (apparently you can discriminate ONLY with an online system, otherwise you should download an entire list). but... if you look better... Each stamps is DIFFERENT from another one.
They have emitted 150.000 singular stamps!  You can't assume that for all tokens there is the same “interest”... but each stamp is interesting is a sort of variety with a series of unique data! (code [1]) ^[6]
Here I create a list of all combinations possible, with a minimum of interest for a COLLECTOR.
Please note, there is not any value, but a simple grade of scarcity (I will keep update).

Very well done!

How the onchain shop (500 limited edition stamps) differentiates from the rest 149500 stamps? The physical stamp that you receive from the onchain shop (after filling the form with shipping address details) is the same as the rest of the physical stamps? Since you receive the digital token at the time of purchase, how the physical token looks like? (ie the right silver scratching area with the digital token is missing?)

For what I know the only difference is related the way you can buy the item and not the stamp itself.
But lets see if Austrian postage will provide a special cover/physical support to stamps redeemed.

Update


I have found this interesting table related the frequency of x-digits inside each token.
So even a black token (4 digits) can be an interesting stamp to collect, but I will not give so many importance or any surplus (just a curiosity).

Part 4 (new items)

Some more of Crypto stamp related items that I recently acquired:

Point of sale display stand: Those where the stands where the "crypto stamps" were hanging at the different shops. Very few of those still exist, since the majority were thrown away/destroyed

[bitbollo]

Extra items (private overprints, philatelic postage)

The envelope on top was dispatched at Christmas eve, to the Austrian village "Christkindl", where it received the second round stamp, and then shipped to me. The bottom, was dispatched at new years eve. In both cases, the crypto stamps were actually used to cover my international shipping fees.



Those envelopes are from the "crypto stamps" meetups that being organized in various cities of Austria.

Only 100 of those stamps were made for every meetup (except for the first meetup where only 60 were made). 8 envelopes with Crypto Stamps and 8 envelopes with the meetup stamps for each meetup ever produced. Those were mailed at the day & place that the meetup took place (and hence the matching date round stamp). Bellow is the envelopes from the 3rd & 4th meetup. Also a sample photo of the 4 stamps (sample photo not mine).

Wait until the countdown timer expires, then try and buy them along with most of us?

[bitcoin-shark]

the crypto stamps the old ones of the first series can be bought through the opensea dapps so we can realize how much their value has grown over time in my opinion also the second series will be a more than safe investment...

Is it possible to translate their entire website?

I’m afraid the time will expire and during checkout, I will be trying to guess if they’re asking for my phone number or my credit card number.

Yeah, I got through it last year with not many issues. I don't think they like sold out in a day either, it took at least a few if memory serves....

[TheNovemberMan]

I can’t say for the actual ordering page, but when it comes to the countdown page (even the scrolling text) Chrome translates it near perfectly!
