Binary Eagle - Sol Noctis - 1 Bitcoin Cent

[TookDk]

I also love those Silver Wallets, but I can't afford to buy one @ the States, as surely they will go visiting the Portuguese Customs. Right now, I have 2 coins in the Customs and 2 Cascasius coins are almost there...

Agreed, damn EU customs  The EU commission and US are working on a trade agreement as we speak. If and only if they can agree - then could custom duties between EU and US be eliminated already next year.
If that happens then is it time for celebration!

That would indeed be a good reason to celebrate. Even though I buy more stuff from China, having to pay no duties for stuff from America would be pretty sweet.

On-topic: Those Sol Noctis coins look really awesome and I love the custom box. I just might buy one of them.

Well written, snarlpill.

If you're wanting to buy a Silver Wallet but worried about Customs, then I would message Blazedout419 directly. He is co-owner of Silver Wallets and I've seen him tell buyers he could mark the value at the spot price for 1 ounce of silver for them, which is ~$16.00 at the moment. Also, they have some great sales prices going on right now in anticipation of their new release, you can check those out in Mitchełł's thread.

This is a great example of why buying/selling on BitcoinTalk can be much better than a centralized marketplace like eBay; you can have much greater communication here. And I can vouch for ct1aic, I have sold him items through eBay and BitcoinTalk and he is a good buyer and a great guy.

I always feel sorry for you EU guys for having to pay such outrageous VAT taxes, especially when you are usually already paying higher for international shipping as it is. To me, VAT taxes seem like a mafia shakedown/theft by your government. But as is the saying over here, "Nothing is certain in life but death and taxes."

I agree, a celebration would be in order if there were no VAT taxes between the US and EU anymore. I think that would be a great development for worldwide trade and economics. However, VAT taxes Must be a pretty big cash cow for the gov...  it's hard to see them cutting off such a big source of revenue, you know?
On a side note I probably won't post in this thread too much more, I feel like I've been hijacking it with off-topic stuff!

The value of the package is buyer friendly and set roughly around the silver price. This is a standard procedure done by the person responsible for shipping (which isn't Blazedout419, normally). There is a good chance that Blazedout419 will forward you to me, as I'm their official sales person on Bitcointalk.

I shall now be quiet because this is getting quite off-topic and I need to be a good example, hahaha.

Interesting side note for this coin also: APMEX, which is a very large coin/bullion dealer in the US, has this coin available for sale here.

Wow.  That is a huge deal.  I might actually buy one from APMEX just to support their decision to begin selling physical Bitcoins.  I thought selling them pre-loaded was illegal and what got Casascius shut down.  Very interested to see how APMEX handles this.

Okay, this is my last post in here, promise! I agree Og, that is awesome about APMEX selling these! I know they've had them listed for a couple months now at least. I think in the case of APMEX selling loaded physical Bitcoins in the US, it is probably just oversight, misunderstanding, or a don't ask/don't tell situation. Or, they could have had their large legal team discuss it, I have no idea!

You should drop them a message inquiring about them listing/selling NastyFans 1 oz. and 5 oz. coins! Seeing a NastyFans 1 oz. minted seat for sale on APMEX would be epic! Would def. get NastyFans a lot of exposure too. I found the Sol Noctis Bitcoin listed when looking through the "Generic 1 oz. Silver Rounds" section months ago, and I know tons and tons of people look at 1 oz. Silver rounds on APMEX. Provident possibly would be willing to sell them too if you were wanting to go that route.

How many do we need to get for a group buy? I am willing to buy them with that dirty fiat for everyone as I want a couple of these.

I took the dirty fiat plunge.  $87.94 shipped.

Received mine today.  Super fast shipping.  I think it looks better in the pics than in person to be honest.

preferably would like sol notics graded too.

do you do group grading now?

i got couple coins including the infamous 'honeycombed' funded 1BTCerror to be graded.

[ezeminer]

I would not mind converting BTC to fiat for a group buy. Maybe if mitchell needs EU shipping I can ship over there

[jdebunt]

Looks very pretty but...damn...expensive :s

I received today, the following answer to a email that I sent some time ago, from the maker of the Sol Noctis Binary Eagle:

Hello,

First of all we would like to apologize for the delay in response regarding this matter.

Your coin is original and it is not a fake, and you can check this by entering the address on this service: https://goochain.net
It allows to verify the address even by the first 5-6 symbols. You can try to enter these symbols and you will see the full address.

In the process of Sol Noctis development this service -  https://blockchain.info - also offered such option, so we took a decision to show 32 symbols. It was made for the reasons of appropriate design and symmetry of the coin, as otherwise the symbols would be smaller.

Please contact us if you have any further questions.

Kind regards,
Yuliya

As far as I know: blockchain.info does not support search on short keys.
blockr.io support search on short keys

Fair enough to decide on having a 32 symbol public address - for symmetry reasons.
However, 32 symbol public keys are not too hard to find, just search for them in the same way you search for vanity keys.
Really don't see any good reason why not to use 32 symbol keys instead of truncating the last symbols...
