Kialara Physical Bitcoins/HAVEN: Update

[Zepher]

Oh man! That looks absolutely awesome! Well done Max. I really cannot wait to get my hands on mine

[AT101ET]

It looks amazing! Great work. I'm kicking myself now for not buying them when I had the chance. Any chance next time you'll reduce the minimum international order from 3 pieces to 2?

[icey]

I've been keeping an eye on the blog intently the last few weeks, its great to see such good progress being made.

Cannot wait till they start shipping out. I'm sure they're gonna look even better in hand.

Oh my.. old Maxy boy has outdone himself here

Dude this is so much better than initial designs

Agreed. These pics are making me wish I would have picked up one of the suites

If only I even had the opportunity to have ordered a suite.   Sad. 

Of course, I would have bought > 1. (Or Tried)

Looking forward to see the moon re-sale price they will attract

They do look awesome.

If you have been looking for a leather slip case for Kialara Originals, Silvers or Golds check Amazon for iPhone SE or 5S cases. Here is one I found that fits snug and has a tab to pull to lift out. Should work for the 'To The Moon' also will just be a looser fit for the smaller size.

IMHO, the sleeves that come with the bars are best to keep them and looks pretty amazing!
too keep the bar in sleeve you will have to remove the sleeve which won't look good

I don't know about you guys, but I like to look at my bars and hold them occasionally.... not keep them in their sleeve permanently.  I also don't have any intention of selling either.  haha
 
Looking nice Max.

Really looking forward to the moon bars, they look exceptional on all aspects so far.

The crusted pieces of moon rock from the 2 BTC bars look sick. I really can't wait to have them in hand!

New update:

05/04/2017 Update

The holograms arrived and they’re pretty cool. More shiny and reflective than my past holograms, and will look nice on these coins when assembled. The sample coin I was sent is with my local supplier to make sure they will fit inside the housings ok, but when I get it back I’ll assemble one and share a photo. My next update will be on Tuesday or Wednesday of next week. I hope to have a better idea of when the housings will be completed by then. May 12th is still the completion date for the coins.

I was initially quoted 40 days for completion of the housings, and that was on March 3rd. I added a couple weeks to this in my initial estimate, and I’m sorry to everyone that it is taking longer.

Here are some shots of the holograms I snapped quickly with my phone… They look much better in person, as does the coin also!

the new holograms are really beautiful and more shiny then before

Another update, these things are starting to look sick!

05/10/2017 Update

The coins should be completed within a couple days, and I imagine I will have them in hand early next week. Once I receive them, I can begin the work of loading the keys and applying the holograms. This will keep me busy while I await the steel housings – which could take a while longer unfortunately. The manufacturers are having a difficult time with these – with all the steps involved, and the time needed to hand-polish the housings and the small sliding clip. I asked them to take the time they need to do them right – not to rush.

I will continue to post updates here as I receive them myself.

Here’s a shot of what the front side looks like (minus the screw heads, which will be drilled out in the completed assembly) and I asked them to center the logo with the bar, not the center of the clip. The photos don’t really do these justice. I’m very happy with everything.

I haven’t had a chance to assemble the back yet – I will try to have this finished soon.

All of the glass arrived today in good shape as well.

These rest inside these small acrylic easels quite nicely… I’ll include one with each bar shipped.

It does look awesome. Looking forward to see it once shipped, however from other people's pics

oh my Giddy Giddy Gosh...

Hurry up Maxy boy..  I want these in my hands now!
