[ANN] History Coldkey - A testimony to Bitcoin - Time for change has come !

[MoparMiningLLC]

got an e-mail today that my ck-cards (q2) have been sent out.
maybe they will arrive this week - i am looking forward to it 

Yes indeed !
These parcels feature our new "2FA" procedure to safely make shipments that hold no digital BTC but become loaded once you confirmed the receipt.


On another note, I'm not sure what is going on with French post, but all parcels that were shipped out last week still appear in the state "Label created; please leave at post office".
That is still the status for the parcels today, however they were collected and inserted into the postal system as usual.

The courier who picks them up said there is still lots of delay at different sorting center down the line.

Please let us know when you got yours ! Thanks !

thats ok! just happy to see them ship finally after 5-6 weeks since ordered.

I have used that as well but it requires a tracking number first and I don't have one yet.

Check your spam folder for something from AAltworld.

That's where mine usually go.

well I did just get an email today from AAltworld - but that came just today - so I guess that means mine just shipped today. but it could be the shipment i am expecting from kryptowerks the email does not specify what is being shipped or who it is from. or is AAltworld yogg? I dont know if that is the sender name or the shipping company name.

I don't think it really matters... Mine has said "Label has been created" on USPS since I got it on June 17, and on 17track I get a "web error"/not found, so I think there may still be some slowdowns...

Patience is a virtue among bitcoiners at least.

Hey El duderino_,

Thanks for your PM and your post.

Yes indeed, something was up.
I have had struggles with shipping these last couple of weeks.

Originally I resumed shipments 2 weeks ago, using a new tool to make it all easier and much straightforward.
Shipped 2 parcels to EU; the tracking number never received an update.

I didn't know what was the issue, really.

La Poste customer service told me every sorting facility is overloaded and that planes were the bottleneck for transit and asked me to be patient.
Well, my patience has some limits and today I assume these 2 parcels are lost.

Even more so when the status for the parcel gives me such info :


(How can it be "Left at post office" on the 6th of November 2020 ?? Last status modification on Dec 2020 ??)

Luckily no BTC is lost as these were shipped including the Shipping ID / Shipping Secret procedure.


Yesterday I shipped a "test" parcel, to see how bad it is. I also used a label generated by our new shipping tool.
Tried something differently and miraculously, the tracking number updated in the evening.

The difference was that :
- The 2 first parcels were taken 2 weeks ago by La Poste couriers who picks up outgoing mail daily right from the office.
(This is how I always proceeded with shipping History Coldkey (being loaded) since we have offices. Never got a problem doing so.)
- Yesterday I headed to the post office and insisted for the employee to scan the label in front of me.

I considered there might be something wrong with the label itself, as we used a new tool, but I wasn't notified that something was wrong so I don't know really.
But it went through smoothly.
They took the parcel. Tracking shows it has now left France.


I could have kept shipping in the 2 weeks period where I expected an update, but what's the point if the parcels aren't taken into account / are stuck somewhere / are lost.
Now that I know how to get a parcel moving again, I don't mind going to the Post Office and require them to immediately scan every parcel I hand them.

If I kept doing how I did it before the sanitary crisis (shipping Coldkeys loaded) then we'd have lost a few hundreds €€€ worth of BTC only with those 2 parcels sent 2 weeks ago.

I am extremely confounded by the situation.
Please, don't worry. Your bits are safe, and your Coldkeys will arrive soon.
I am not an expert in logistics and could use one, but I'm an expert at flipping bits (the 0 and 1 bits) and I do my best to provide you with safety.

I am terribly sorry about how this quarterly release rolled out, and I really cannot do more than ask you for a little bit more patience as I process it all.
Thank you for your comprehension.

Please always feel free to reach out. Thank you for everything.


As a surprise, this was included in one of the 2 parcels that were shipped 2 weeks ago :


What a shame it is lost.

[MoparMiningLLC]

I wish we could find COVID19 and curb stomp it ----- repeatedly.....

A quick update :

One of the two parcels sent 2 weeks ago just had an update on the 25th.
The other one, got an update just today.

This week, several parcels were shipped differently and all got updates in the same day / next day at latest.
Despite being more time consuming than the 1st approach, it is more reliable, so I'll keep it that way for now.

I retained parcels and wasn't shipping due to this uncertainty which is pretty much cleared as of now.
Everyone awaiting for their Coldkeys, please expect more news in the upcoming week.

This is about all orders for which we have received the funding and for which everything is alright.


We sent reminders about the funding to customers with a subscription, the parcels will not ship if we didn't receive the funding for them.
I have a few things to clarify before proceeding, but more reminders will be sent soon to all customers who placed individual orders for which we didn't receive funding.


May and June History Coldkeys are still available for a short period of time !
They will not be available anymore after the 2nd of July.

We are in the works for a Q3 History Coldkey release, with a different artist.

Many more awesome things are coming.
Thank you very much everyone for your comprehension and your patience during these troubled times.

Just received my package, with the surprise inside!! 

Much appreciated, thank you yogg!

[Kryptowerk]

Thanks for the update, yogg.
All the best to your business - I know how stressful these hickups can be, especially when there is absolutely nothing you can do expect wait for an update or at some point in time give up on the package as "lost in transit".
Had a similar experience about 2 years ago with some simple letters with postcards I sent to the US. After almost 3 months or so they re-appeared.

Also, right now packages to France and the US have had similar "freezes" regarding their status, luckily it didn't take quite as long as you described here.
So in conclusion: Looking forward to my coldkey cards but not feeling worried at all regarding the transparency and professionality you are handling the situation with.

My package with 4 Coldkeys has finally arrived (and the candy was great).

The tracking didn't show it as delivered though, which could be a problem to some that use a PO box. Normally I can use my countries local postal tracking to see where the package is (and if it's delivered yet), but this time it didn't work and tracking tool provided by Yogg still says it's in transit since 26 of June. I'll just blame Corona for this, as there is not much Yogg can do about this.

The email that contains my shipping ID has no link to the 2FA page itself. That link is on the card I received and in this topic, but it might be nice to also include it in the email. The 2FA process itself was really clear and easy to do though. Well done.

Finally, I have some feedback on Coldkey HISTORY-20.6.15; The address is very hard to read because of the background colors and the single color used for the address. Would have preferred white text with a black border which is always readable. HISTORY-20.4.15 and HISTORY-20.5.15 look great though.

Might be lucky soon then aswell. I received my tracking on the 17th of June but it has not updated since then. Looks like a problem from the french post.
I will keep you updated if the parcel arrives in the next days

mine just shows as preshipment on the AALTWORLDS page and shows as invalid on the French post site - so I am hoping not lost.

Yeah, I got the same status.
Must be fucked up by the french post.. would be interesting if Mitchell or other user who got their parcels have had the same issues.

[owlcatz]

While I'm sure Yogg is not too pleased about these covid shipping issues, I'm really not worried, as I'm seeing many shipments arrive here from other countries and tracking is typically lost/incorrect/gone.... Which is a good thing in this case I think.

[krogoth]

 Yep....the whole worlds shipping systems are slow...my Tangem order from the 9th June is still enroute via DHl. As long as it arrives...better late than never.

[hugeblack]

Good job, and Amazing designs. I liked the design a lot.
Are you planning to add any golden parts to these cards? It would be great to have cards with gold or silver ends.
Also, if it is possible to add more than one private key, it would be great.
I will order some cards in the coming months and I hope to see some gold cards.
