Kialara Physical Bitcoins/HAVEN: Update

[BitcoinNewsMagazine]

Hi Max,

I just did a search for Kialara on Google and came up with "A description for this result is not available because of this site's robots.txt". Your robots.txt file contains:

User-agent: *
Disallow: /

Did you intentionally mean to block Googlebot from crawling your website?

It works for me...  

The usual robots.txt file leaves out the forward slash. If you change to:

User-agent: *
Disallow:

Your site and store will get better rank in Google and you can add a line of text you want to show up in Google searches. You can make the changes in Yoast SEO in the admin panel of your store. Edit the robots.txt in SEO > Tools and titles and metas in Homepage. Google loves Wordpress and WooCommerce; while everyone in the forum knows about Kialara you are missing out on new customers reaching your site through search.

I don't usually manage to get in on the game early on but this time I had the opportunity to seeing as I was browsing my inbox when your email came in.
I should be kicking myself for not buying a set when I had the chance but I promised myself to cut back on buying more collectibles.
Either way, it's another beautiful piece. It'll definitely sit nicely alongside all the other art pieces you've released.
Great work!

I didn't get any email even though I recall subscribing to the mailing list. Oh well, not much I can do, except re-subscribing in the hopes that it works next time, so I don't miss something cool.

Same here.
Too late for the suites.

But, I did resub to the list.

They just keep getting better and better T_T.

I'm jealous that I didn't get a set of the moon coins.  When they are delivered, if anyone wants to sell, please shoot me a pm.

The set or the suite?

[coin@coin]

Missed out too. Sets will go for a hefty premium considering the lower number in existence.

I wonder if anyone will want to ever sell their suite

It all depends on the price and what's going on in their life. If we are talking double digits, shoot me a PM.

These are rare gems.... I have #11 for the past 5-6 pieces.

I'm looking for #11 on the 2014 and 2015 pieces actually.

I might know the guy with gold and silver #11. But he will want a fortune for them.. unmotivated seller..

Nope, trade yes.  Those elusive #11's.

For those who don't follow Max's blog about the Moon Series (http://kialara.com/moon-production-updates/), here is a small update on the production:

04/24/2017 Update

The steel housing samples (from my overseas supplier) have been completed and approved, so production is underway. http://www.imgur.com/V4UeHe0.jpg

The small sliding clips are being sent to engraving today, and I will share what that looks like within the next couple of days. The coins are complete minus the gold electroplating and color fill and I think I’ll have photos of those to share by Friday or sooner along with the holograms. Things are all coming together. Thanks everyone for your patience with this project.

04/27/2017 Update

The mint informed me that if I do gold plating, that the rim of the coin must be gold also. The only option to keep the rim silver would be to hand-paint the gold B, and I didn’t want that, so I asked that they proceed and plate the rim too. They sent a photo today of the gold and I’m really happy with it. You’ll see two of the colors have been added, with white and blue remaining.

I was also given a completion date of May 12th for the coins.

Furthermore, my US manufacturer informed me that they are close to completing the housing sample I ordered from them, and both the glass and holograms have shipped.

Have a good weekend everyone, I’ll report back next week with photos of the holograms and any other news I have.

Oh my.. old Maxy boy has outdone himself here

Dude this is so much better than initial designs

[chronicsky]

Can't wait to get them
