Time Chain Traveler Begins | Finite by Design Returns to Struck .999 Fine Silver | Preorder Now Open

Every traveler needs a compass.

For the first time in over 8 years, Finite by Design is striking .999 fine silver again.

The last Finite by Design silver coins were struck in early 2018. The Time Chain Compass brings silver back as part of a 500-piece struck release.

Before the Time Chain Traveler journey begins, there is the Time Chain Compass.

Today I'm introducing the first release of Time Chain Traveler, a new, ongoing Finite by Design project exploring the people, events and ideas that shaped Bitcoin's history and the time chain that followed.

At the center of the project is an instrument built from time, direction, sigils and Bitcoin. Its orientation, geometry and individual elements are intentional, drawing from across the larger Time Chain Traveler project.

Some may be recognizable from the beginning. Others will reveal their significance only as the journey unfolds.

THE RELEASE

The Time Chain Compass is a limited 500-piece struck physical Bitcoin mintage in three metals:

100 × 1 Troy Ounce .999 Fine Silver | #001-#100
200 × Golden Bronze | #001-#200
200 × Copper | #001-#200

The Compass is released in two phases. Time Chain Traveler is a long-term project, and the Compass is its central piece, so I want collectors who join as the series unfolds to have a chance to own one.

Phase One (now): Serials #001-#100 in all three metals, 300 coins.
Phase Two (later): Serials #101-#200 in Golden Bronze and Copper, 200 coins, held in the Finite Vault for a later release as Time Chain Traveler progresses.

Every coin is edge marked with its sequential serial number. Silver coins are additionally edge marked to identify their 1 Troy Ounce .999 fine silver content.

The Compass serves as the bridge between Finite by Design's traditional physical Bitcoin format and the larger Time Chain Traveler project.

Following this release, Time Chain Traveler will move into its native TCG-size engraved metal card format, introducing the new Chrono Seal.

BUYER FUNDED PHYSICAL BITCOIN

All Time Chain Compass coins are issued under the Finite by Design Buyer Funded Standard.

Each coin contains a private key generated and handled through Finite by Design's permanently air-gapped process, concealed beneath the tamper-evident Cold Storage Seal.

All coins ship unfunded, allowing collectors to independently fund their Bitcoin addresses after receipt.

PREORDER NOW OPEN

Minting is complete. The entire 500-piece production run has been struck.

The coins arrive Monday, and I'll begin final assembly myself, installing each private key and applying the Cold Storage Seal. Orders will ship on a rolling basis as they're assembled, with all preorders expected to ship by early November.

The photos shown are actual production strikes taken at the mint before final assembly. Photography of the finished coins will follow.
