Very confusing to call it a bond. Where's the income?
Are opendimes not considered physical bitcoin? idk
Hey Last of the V8s, thanks for your comment.
It's just a name and not really the exact equivalent of corporate/treasury bonds in custodial finance, but there's the same spirit of locking funds now to retrieve them later.
If "bitcoin" was an entity, among them all I think it would be the one I'd trust most as of today in our world.
Also there's no income, let it be positive or negative.

Negative interest rates for EU-govt equivalent of treasury bonds are a thing, so I think this can be a better savings alternative than a large range of instruments.
I imagine the market for these could, in due time, extend far beyond the current collector circles as an alternative to a CD. I, for one, would like to gift these to many young family members. That said, I'm hoping production isn't overly limited. Care to share any insight regarding potential issuance?
Yes !
There are many many things to do with these, potentially.

In some way, Cryptobonds are "future
BTC". We'll see

I've been thinking about issuance, and I'm not ready to reply as of now yet.
Most certainly, there will be a Collectible release soon.
I hate to sound like those who i actually report but this is really an amazing project. But why do you keep it only in the collectables board? Not so many people come here, so it's very limited exposure, sure you share it with the guys you know fir testing, but projects like that should be on the first page, really.
Thanks a lot for your kind words iasenko, it is much appreciated ! I'm honored that you think Cryptobonds should be on the first page.

I think maybe to post about it in other places, to bring some attention on how the test unfolds. I'm rather confident.
I will send an update next week to every tester.

Thanks a lot everyone for your support ! I'm super happy that that the concept appeals to you all.
Bump with an update !

They have been shipped all together in an expedited manner to Mantis Warehouse.
Each tester will receive his test Cryptobond most likely during next week.

As for the tests, each test Cryptobond is set to expire 144 blocks from each other.
Here's the full list of Cryptobonds and the Block number that has been set as an expiry time :
Serial Number | Block Expiry | Tester |
1 | #622080 | Krogothmanhattan |

6 | #622800 | Owlcatz |
7 | #622944 | Jcga |
8 | #623088 | Me (yogg) |
These Cryptobonds shouldn't be spendable before the block that they're locked to hasn't made it to the
BTC blockchain.
To all testers :
Please try to execute the Cryptobond before expiry time, see what happens.
