Kialara Physical Bitcoins/HAVEN: Update

[NewkTownTN]

Will Kialara do another round of Original pieces? Maybe a 2017, 2018 or 2019 edition? That would be so cool 

It seems like the newest "To the moon" pieces have been sold out. Does anyone know what the next ones will be? And when they come out ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

I think Kialara stated somewhere that each series will be different and there will be no duplicates down the road. I guess it would still be possible for Kialara to finish the remaining 1000+ in the original 2500 run of the original bar.

I do hope there will be a run of prints to match the To the Moon series. There is an empty space on my wall waiting for one.

Max destroyed all of the Original spare parts he had left. I doubt he would go through the trouble of ordering new parts to make the remaining pieces.

In hindsight thats a bit of a shame, would of been cool with a yearly slightly different original come out.

Every release has been a slightly different version of the original.  When comparing the original to the Silver and Gold, the only difference is that the materials Max used to craft the latter are significantly higher quality.  I believe that the original served as the catalyst that propelled and funded Max's true vision for what they wanted Kialara to become.  I don't think we will see the original design used again, just better varients of it, as we have been shown each and every time a new version is announced.  All that being said, I'm glad Max chose to destroy all the parts for the original design, because that act has given us all the different versions we have today.  And to quote MJ, that's just my "Two Satoshi" opinion on the matter.

While I agree with you I'm not sure that destroying all the materials and that gave you different designs today, they (other designs) could have been the main focus and the yearly originals could be sideprojects with the leftover materials from the first original run. But everyone has their own opinion on the matter .

I like and prefer that Max constantly creates new pieces. I wouldn't want a repeating piece with the only difference being the year it was made in. I would still get it, but I wouldn't like it as much as what he does these days.

Getting there now!

08/18/2017 Update

this week I assembled around 75 of the 100k bits bars, drilled the screw heads from 150+ bars and cut another 75 samples of nwa 5000. It was a productive week. This evening I began polishing and packing some orders which will begin shipping Monday. I will email tracking numbers to everyone as I ship, so if you have not received a tracking number your bar(s) have not shipped… please be patient as it will still be a couple weeks for many of you, but I can assure you I am working to fill orders as fast as possible.

Nice! I cannot wait to receive my piece. Let's hope I don't have to wait another few months.

[wheelz1200]

Man i just looked at that moon army pic....wished i ordered one now.

[syclone]

I'm collecting my specific # on all of his pieces... Thankful for the opportunity to own this piece.   Does anybody remember funding the 100,000 bit pieces with .1 btc and that only being $20 to $30 ?    lol

Same here, it looks very, very nice. Still looking forward to see how they go on the market.

Just received my set thanks Max! Well worth the wait. The bars are shipped in a clear ziplock bag inside the red velvet pouch with a stand separate.

Very nice, pictures if possible! 

Is this the first confirmed Moon bar to be received?

[Kialara]

Thanks everyone, most suites and many sets are missing 1 bar since many of the coins had issues. I received word that the replacement coins will arrive next week. I ended up sending NWTM back an additional 25 coins. It cost me a lot of time and has been a huge headache.

I am emailing tracking numbers when I ship, so if you haven't received an email from me I haven't shipped yet. I will begin shipping singles next week, and it's possible some of you will receive your set or suite after others have received their singles.

Additionally, some of you ordered suites, sets and singles or sets and singles, so I'm waiting to complete these orders before shipping. I'm working overtime to get all of this done.

And if anyone was wondering why I changed the size of these new bars compared to my earlier work, it's because there are more display options on the market for this new size... see: https://i.imgur.com/gRNVZH4.jpg

These are similar in size to the slabs you gets from ANACS, NGC, PCGS, etc. The plan is for new works to be designed at this new size also. I'm working on cases as well, and if it goes well I imagine I will work on a case design for the older bars, too. http://imgur.com/t1fTFA6

[Rmcdermott927]

A case for the older bars would be an awesome idea.   I have a storage case that I bought from a 3rd party but something that both protects and displays would be ideal.  Bonus points if it free standing or can be wall mounted.

Appreciate the update and transparency as always, thanks Max.

That would be an awesome idea, I'd like to see something like that also.  The cases I have aren't for display but they protect them extremely well in a storage location if the items get moved frequently.

I was curious about the size change. Good to know. So glad at least I have one of each of the old sizes!

Just missed the first serie of the new size.

Also up for cases for the old size, to store and preserve them.

I too have taken a few of my 2014 /2015 kialaras to a local art shop, and was looking to have a wall mounted setup created, as to be able to hang these on the wall showing both sides of each the 2014 and the 2015, since I have two of each.  Will post if it happens.

[Mitchell]

I would to have a display case for my Kialara's that allows me to see them and protect them at the same time. I hate having to put them out of sight as they are such beauties.

[syclone]

I agree... All of mine are on a shelf being displayed.   Hey Max, is there any word on the 1-15 series #'s being shipped yet ?   I'm sure i'll be surprised someday as it arrives.

[Branduardi]

Can't wait to finally get my pices -- one will go on the wall, the other locked away

Here is set no. 51 (not for sale) enjoy!
