Hello BCmint.com customer.

To our great disappointment, we are sorry to inform you that your order has been further delayed.

It is unbelievable that our order has been in secondary inspection in Taiwan customs for nearly 3 weeks, and has not departed Taiwan for final recipient.

We have been waiting for updates from DHL/Taiwan customs in order to update you, but the continual reply has been to wait a few more days..

It seems unreasonable for us to plead for continued patience, but we ask for your consideration once again.

Again we would like to offer a complete refund immediately, or please excuse us once more as we ask for just a little more patience.

We too are learning with our startup; we just had no idea that shipping would be our largest issue.

New 2020-A Physical Bitcoin orders effective January 13 will have a 1 month shipping delay as we move all our shipping to US fulfillment through www.usafill.com/. (This is a change as originally we were going to ship 2020-A coins the old way)

New 2021-A Physical Bitcoin launch will be delayed until we have our shipping all sorted out.

Again, please excuse the delay.

It's really disheartening for us too.

They should ship to minerjones and let him distribute.

"as we move all our shipping to US fulfillment through www.usafill.com/"

Seems like overkill for what you are doing.
I would imagine the cost for this service will off-set any profits or even cost you more money than it's worth when all is said and done.

The decision was that the way we are shipping now from the BCmint is too slow and problematic and is negatively affecting customer experience.

The key is that we are shipping quality product fast.  We need to build a positive review base, create loyal fans that help us through "word of mouth", and just make a professional product purchase experience as positive as possible.

The plan is to make 2020-A coins, then 2021-A coins, maybe a 2021-B coin if things are going well, then a 2022-A coin.. and so forth; we are looking at the longer opportunities.

Currently shipping is the problem, so we are going to solve this for the remaining 2020-A orders, which will continue until March or while we have stock.

For the 2021-A orders, we will launch only after all our delivery issues are resolved.

The point is we are looking long term, and the short term profit is immaterial.

Hi,

no tracking numb related to the order yet.

Loving it, it was inside spam box

[tweetious]

Coins arrived today !!!

It took a while to get dispatched (due to all the issues mentioned by Warden_BCmint), however, the dispatching method selected (from Taiwan), was pretty fast!

Wow ultra nice, thanks for the pic, lucky you are!!!

[MoparMiningLLC]

received mine today. 6 regular A series coins and 1 T series coin.

These slabs are huge! The look great - only issue I saw was the holos applied to the slabs appears to have a tendency to come off/unpeeled as you can see that a few are already showing the honeycomb pattern. None were fully falling off but all of them have where edges were pulled back. This is most likely due to the edge/lip of the slab, might be hard to overcome that without having a holo that overlaps the front/back.

The coins appear to be the same size as the 2016 BTCC 1 BTC coins.

[Jcga]

I'm pretty happy to have received my order, wow lovely coins.

[Dumbastronaut]

Got my order a week back as well, beautiful coins indeed - thanks Warden!

[Evilish]

Received mine last week. Great looking coins!

Thanks Warden_BCmint.

Hello Bitcointalk!

Firstly, thank-you everyone for the support

A short update:

The last shipment of 2020-A coins will be sent to USA fulfillment center next week, and available for delivery mid to late May.

These are the last 2020-A coins if you would like to order.

2020-T TEST Physical Bitcoins $88

There are 14 TEST coins remaining in stock USA fulfillment.   These are from the test series with the "gear edge" instead of the "smooth edge". We ultimately decided on smooth edge for our BCmint Physical Bitcoins.

How the 2021-A series coins will differentiate from the 2020-A?
Pictures and description are exactly the same (I assume 2021-A pic & text is just a placeholder).

Could you please elaborate if the 2021-A coins & hologram will remain exactly the same as 2020-A  & only the print on the hologram will change? (distinguishing them from 2020-A)

Hi Tweetious!

Thanks for the questions.

1. The metal portion of the coin is the same; maybe a slightly higher quality because we now are using printing plates.

2. The hologram is similar but with some changes. It's a new and improved run of holograms:

The small diagonal "BC" is removed.
2021 is embedded in the microprint detail.
The printed public key is a larger and clearer font.
The tamperproof hologram honeycombs


We will get some professional photos out in the near future.

You can see what's happening in the microprint here:

Thank you for the updates and the work on these Warden. The coins are beautiful and I love my T series. Personally, I actually prefer the gear edge of the test series. It makes it feel more like a coin than a medallion. I look forward to seeing your future designs.
