[ANN] [BETA] collectible.money - Open source tracking of crypto collectibles

[raghavsood]

I'm thrilled to announce collectible.money - A new site to index, track, discover, and learn about crypto collectibles.

This is a BETA announcement, as I've just gone live with the very first level of features.



Features

1. Track creators, series, and items
2. View the current funding status (unfunded, redeemed, unredeemed) of any item
3. View history and descriptions for creators, series, and items
4. View transaction history for any item
5. Statistics on ecosystem, creator, series, and items (TVL, number of funded/redeemed/unfunded items)
6. Fully open source - all database content, descriptions, and text are stored and publicly available on Github with revision history.
7. Support for series with collaborating creators
8. Support for collectibles with multiple addresses/chains

In its current form, only a handful of items and creators have been loaded to test and demonstrate the system. Currently, this is limited to:

 - BTCC 2016 5 BTC V-Series artist proof (funded, unredeemed, single creator)
 - Polymerbit 10th Anniversary note (funded, partially redeemed, collaboration)
 - Crypto Imperator Gearing Set (funded, multiple addresses per set)

Planned Features

 - ATOM feeds for individual series and items to enable anyone to monitor the flow of funds
 - Email, telegram bot, twitter bot alerts when items are redeemed
 - More statistics as charts, graphs, tables
 - Sale history (need to figure out how to do this safely without compromising people's anonymity/safety)
 - Index cross chain assets (such as BCH for pre-fork assets), LTC, etc.
 - Flagging stolen/lost assets
 - Flagging unsafe/scam creators and series
 - The search bar should, you know, actually search
 - Slabbing/grading history for items

Creators Program

If you are a creator, I'm happy to work with you on an appropriate description for your items and creator blurb. Links to your site/shop and content suggestions are welcome, but not guaranteed. Generally happy to cooperate as long as its within the limits of markdown and not scam-like.

Creators can also submit address lists, series/item information, and serial numbers directly to me to ensure that they are reliably and accurately reflected on the site.

If you're a creator and want your works to be indexed on priority, you can submit a Creator file that follows the format of the masterlist. It should be a CSV file in the format:

Code:

Series,Serial,Address

For example, for BTCC's 5 BTC V-Series Artist Proof, this would look like:

Code:

Series,Serial,Address
"BTCC 2016 Five Bitcoin, V Series (2-star) - Artist Proof",,1P4FKWDAkY16CJZ2fkcsNW6v9gmye7ZQbp
"BTCC 2016 Five Bitcoin, V Series (2-star) - Artist Proof",,1P4FsdLUtKPvwKgZtyXPZj5h97wyg7rRkK
"BTCC 2016 Five Bitcoin, V Series (2-star) - Artist Proof",,1P4tBpYd29HWvZSUrBmhcnssjsDXcUuHLK
"BTCC 2016 Five Bitcoin, V Series (2-star) - Artist Proof",,1P56X1MUuhjmwxo4nfhV3iz8EciHhsj9sD
"BTCC 2016 Five Bitcoin, V Series (2-star) - Artist Proof",,1P5H898pPVmTPAUwBqcvfyp1sfbrkprj7a

That series has no serials, so that column is left blank.

This format allows me to easily import the data, as opposed to manually wrangling information from various other sources.

You can also submit a short description for the Creator page and the Series pages. Again, see BTCC and their 2016 Bitcoin Block, N Series (2-Star) for examples of both.

I'm working on finding and importing the data manually, but it's a very slow process as the information is spread out over thousands of threads, external auction sites, archived websites, and other various hiding places. This is a way for active creators to skip the queue and get indexed now vs. having to wait it out.

Disclaimer

The information here is not guaranteed to be accurate, although I do make an effort to be accurate as possible. It is possible that some facts are stale/omitted when talking about creators and items, and that addresses are mismatched to serials or items.

Feature work will largely be done over weekends, but data updates can be made throughout the week.

Examples

The collections loaded in are meant to demonstrate how the site handles different scenarios that arise with collectibles

BTCC's limited run of the 5 BTC V Series Artist Proof covers a collection with pieces that are funded, unredeemed, and without known serials.

The 10th Anniversary note by Polymerbit, Xprim777, and Yogg is a more complex series. Each item is serialized, with a mix of funded, unfunded, redeemed, and partially redeemed cases. For instance, serial AA016 was never funded, AA014 is funded and unredeemed, AA013 was funded and has been redeemed to a zero balance, and AA006  was funded and redeemed but has some leftover balance.

The 10th Anniversary note also includes a warning in its description, as the keys were generated by Yogg.

Lastly, the Gearing Bitcoin Set by Crypto Imperator covers a case where a single item (well, technically it's still two coins), has multiple addresses - in this case, only the balance for serial 016 is indexed as I do not know the addresses of the others.

How can you help?

Submitting information I'm missing is the best way to help expand the index - addresses, serials, photos, history, and more.

Amazing, thanks! I'll get to work on including these after tracking down/transcribing the addresses.

Multichain collectibles will show partial values for the moment, until I finish cross chain support.

This is a wonderful collection for testing edge cases! Covers pretty much everything I would expect someone to build

Thanks! Love the included address lists, very convenient.

I've loaded in Krogoth's Dual BTC/LTC coin and Icarus' Skull Edition set to allow both of you to take a look at how the blurbs and indexing looks like - happy to update the text if I'm wrong or missing key information.

I will load in the other assets in the links provided so far soon, loading is still a very manual process.

[Kazkaz27]

100% love & support this.

[ANN - INFO] Project Icarus: The forum redemption story 🔐

All of the listed Icarus projects with addresses have been loaded in now - The Icarus Cards creator page is now a great example of the kind of overview we would get for creators.

In all, the Icarus project comes in at a TVL of 0.09857338 BTC - a very respectable number given that all items were sold as buyer funded, and the project is less than a year old.



It's a bit interesting to see that none of the halving set were funded, while several of the timeline sets are being regularly funded.

A good start to your project

Lots of good resources on the Master Makers Thread here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2022902.0

and this also shows on the other side that the buyers/our customers believe in our product and therefore trust us
we ourselves are proud that almost 0.1 BTC are on our cards so far

there are two factors to consider here...
the halving series is not yet completely sold and the user who loads his timeline cards has unfortunately gone away empty-handed at the auction of the halving gold cards... otherwise he would certainly have loaded these too

Absolutely - that kind of adoption rate is nothing to sneeze at in volatile times.

I wonder what prompted the redemption of TIMELINE-Q4.10.2023.16 - The only card to be funded and subsequently peeled so far - maybe a test of the keys/new system?

Absolutely - I'm working my way through that, though it'll take some time to clean up and import the data. It's going to be a slow process to make sure serial numbers from makers are recorded correctly where available (Icarus has a wonderful format, super easy to import)

I've imported the BitPiece sets from the master thread - perhaps just in time, as the site appears to be abandoned.

Also a respectable showing for a set that's 8 years old now - and a sizable amount at current prices.

It is, but the SSL cert expired in 2021, and will cease to work in most browsers in a few months - hence abandoned.

SerpCoin v0.1, v1, and v2 have been loaded - the master maker list is invaluable - archive.org didn't capture v2 for some reason, but the master thread has those addresses archived w/ serial numbers!

maybe a good idea to add what we can to archive.org
I know I have used it many times to see original sales pages/makers who are no longer around

In the spirit of keeping things accessible, open, and searchable, I've pushed an update to display the addresses on the series and item detail pages.

Where possible, addresses will be matched to serial numbers.

It also shows some additional metadata such as the funding date, redemption date, and the current balance.





I'm also adding any missing address lists to archive.org as I come across them to maintain the snapshots. These will be linked in the respective notes for the series as I flesh out the descriptions.

The addresses are displayed in a standard HTML table, no fancy Javascript or anything - they can be trivially copy pasted into a text editor or spreadsheet program for anybody who needs it.

[minerjones]

Let me know if you need any help with the address lists like Satori, BTCC, etc

You know it's a great day when it's new feature day

God Mode

Feel like I've let you down? Can't find the information and statistics you need? Well, who needs raghavsood when you can query it yourself!

God Mode puts you in charge - write SQL queries to explore the data set any way you like!

Check it out at https://collectible.money/godmode

Want a list of collectibles peeled in the last 30 days? Here ya go:

Code:

select series_name, serial, first_active, redeemed_on, total_value/100000000.0 as amount from god_view where redeemed_on > DATETIME('now', '-30 day');

Want to say hello to everyone here while checking how many series have been made by various creator permutations?

Code:

select 'hello bitcointalk', series_name, creators, count(DISTINCT(series_name)) from god_view group by creators;

Masterlist

Inspired heavily by the Bitcointalk marker aggregation/detail threads and anduck's BTCC tracker, the Masterlist view shows all entries in the entire database, ordered by their series, and color coded by funding status.

As with all tables, it's a simple HTML table making it easy to view and copy.

Check it out at https://collectible.money/masterlist



Item List Updates

All BTCC items as shared by Bobby Lee in Mintage of all BTCC Mint products (2015-2018) thread have been loaded in. With BTCC having some of the largest denominations, dating back 8 years, this brings the tracker's TVL to ~4000 BTC.

Check it out at https://collectible.money/creator/btcc



Series Summary

The series summaries now show the percentage of each state - wonderful if you need a quick overview on how many items have been redeemed and how many are still undisturbed

Damn bro I have to say well done! This is a much needed resource for our space and I think I can speak for this entire forum when we say THANK YOU!! What information do you still need? I love the God mode feature by the way that is really dope that we can write our own SQL queries

Is it possible to include like a gallery for each creator with a listing of the coins/bars/notes and an accompanied picture and mintage / description of the specific item being shown? Sort of like an encyclopedia element to this address tracking component

[Frank AlpenCoin]

Great work.
