These are amazing! Great work! Will the next design be solid silver as well?

Great job on these guys.
I really like having a self-generated key funded wallet in a cool form factor. When do you expect the next design to be available?

We are discussing that now. At the earliest it takes about 6 weeks for the turn around from the mint. |

The dies for design #2 are currently being cut. We will be taking preorders shortly. Anyone who ordered a numbered coin from design #1 will have the option to purchase the same # they previously ordered, after that we will open it up to forum members. Here is a sneak peak of design #2. This is the rendering from the mint.  |

Amazing design, very nice!
I love the idea of allowing previous buyers to get their 'special numbers'.

The equation makes the coin! I'd definitely want one

Is anyone going to Bitcoin Chicago? Silver Wallets will have a booth set up. Stop by and say hello if you are, always great meeting people in person.

My silver wallet arrived! It's from the first batch of 100 coins (#63). I bought it from Yankee (BitInstant). It was a pleasure doing business with him since he is very patient and I was indecisive. Thank you!

It's from the bitcoin white paper regarding 51% attack Does look nice, but I'm also curious about the specifics of this sum. Why would we want to see it on the face of a silver bitcoin? Perhaps the designer can offer a comment. |

It's the equation on rearranging to avoid summing the infinite tail of the distribution which would prevent (correct me if I'm using the wrong terminology) or make it less likely for an attacker to be able to 51%. The equation is appealing to the eye, incorporates the complexity of bitcoin, and brings some substance into the design. We understand everyone's desire for bitcoin to go to the moon but it's also nice to step back and think about the complexity, the security, and the sheer innovation that is bitcoin. This is why we chose to incorporate something like this equation into the design. |

Coins traditionally display history and significant events/things. the 51% issue is a significant thing in Bitcoin and is worth memorializing on a silver coin. |

This is why we chose to incorporate something like this equation into the design. I guess I need to go back to that paper to see this formula in context. I just want to note that this is not and equation (there's no equals sign), it's a sum. Also, it doesn't look like it's a sum to infinity. It seems to be a sum from z to k. Again, I guess I need to take a look at the paper for more detail, but what distribution? what infinite tail? The number of miners is always going to be finite. |

Coins traditionally display history and significant events/things. the 51% issue is a significant thing in Bitcoin and is worth memorializing on a silver coin. Fair enough, I'm not saying it shouldn't be memorialized. I'm just wondering if the designer of the coin can comment on exactly what is being memorialized. So far all I've learned is 'something to do with the 51% attack'. But then again, I understand that I can go read the paper if I really want to understand. |
