Fuse and I have been in constant contact about this and other things. I have no worries about the shipment as I receive USPS parcels regularly. I have tried to contact them, but they, logically, could not provide me with any information based upon receiving address alone.
All problems with LitePaid that you might have had are also things I have had with my WooCommerce shop. It took Kenny personally to alter the code of my shop to resolve, so there also lies no blame on Fuse for that matter.
I will distribute all sendings the minute I receive Fuses package, lets hope we make it before Christmas.

Any news about the shipping?
Sorry, Frais, I should have updated the thread. I shipped two packages via USPS. One to a user outside of Europe and the US, and one to LTEX. However, USPS would not provide tracking numbers for the international packages. I have notified both LTEX and the other receiver, and they have both responded. I offered to provide confirmation of shipment to them to confirm the package left my local post office. Had I known that they would not provide tracking info, I would have used a different shipping service. I will be using Fedex or similar for future shipments. I will ask LTEX and the other user to confirm they have gotten this info as well. I'm sorry for the confusion and delay in notification. -Fuse Hope all goes well, no tracing is allways a bad thing ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) , let's hope the packages get to their destination ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif)

I am looking in to a referral program as well. I will release additional info when I get it all sorted out. I know this is a common way to attract more buyers.. if you sell diet ebooks or some other commercial product. This is a collectors item, I don't think you'll get way more promotion than you have now. Besides, you take the risk that your shop url will appear on obscure spam sites. All for the clicks and sales. Maybe instead of a referral system you can create a discount for your existing customers. For example a discount on their second order/coin, and a bigger discount on their third order/coin. A lifetime discount. In this way you can activate the real Guldencoin fans to buy more coins at once or placing a second or third order in the near future. Let the word of mouth do its job..

Word of mouth was my original intention with the referral program. I was just thinking it might help spread the word if I offered a discount/free coin to people who helped get the word out. It's not a necessity at this point though. I don't mind the pace of the sales, but I want to make sure I reach a wider audience so the coins aren't all held by a handful of people. I was thinking that I need to get the site translated to Dutch as well. The store system has an easy translation, but I need to get the product description translated as well. And better pictures lol. I agree though that this is a collectors item. It's not like the original casacious coins that were traded. I see these as being something you stick on your desk in a display stand, and in 3-4 years they're worth a considerable amount of money, in both NLG and in terms of collectibility. I just hope the community sees them the same way. -Fuse

Once I've received my coins I'll try to take some pictures with my SLR camera, maybe there're good enough to use in your shop. And a translation:
Vol trots presenteert het Criptoe Team de eerste fysieke Guldencoin. Deze unieke munt is beschikbaar in een beperkte oplage van 250 stuks. Een zeldzame mogelijkheid om een stukje Guldencoin geschiedenis in huis te halen. Dit is tevens de allereerste fysieke munt die Criptoe uitbrengt.
Deze fysieke Guldencoin heeft een diameter van 44,45 milimeter en is 3 milimeter dik en is qua design gebaseerd op het Guldencoin logo. Op de voorkant van de munt is een uniek nummer gegraveerd, staat de waarde van de munt en de datum 4 april 2014, de dag dat het eerste Guldencoin block is gevonden. Op de achterkant van de munt zit een uitsparing voor wallet informatie, staat Criptoe plus het serienummer. Aangezien het hier om de allereerste (Guldencoin) munt gaat die Criptoe uitgeeft is het serienummer 1. De Guldencoin is in zijn totaliteit afwerkt in de het officiële Guldencoin blauw, dit geeft de munt een speciale uitstraling die je niet terug zal vinden bij andere collectible munten. Op de zijkant van deze Guldencoin munt staat de tekst "BETALEN MET GULDENCOIN".
Elke munt wordt geleverd inclusief 2 hologram stickers en een speciale munt enveloppe. (I ignored "Shipping packaging will vary depending on country.", since this text is only for the Dutch)
*Bestellingen bestemd voor Europese landen worden naar het Nederlandse Guldencoin community lid LTEX gestuurd, hij verzorgt de verder distributie. Om de verzendkosten voor de kopers te drukken worden de bestellingen gebundeld en dan pas naar LTEX verzonden.
**De vervaardiging van deze Guldencoin munten is voornamelijk handmatig gedaan, het is daarom mogelijk dat een munt minieme oneffenheden bevat, dit is echter extreem uitzonderlijk. Als je niet voor de volle 100% tevreden bent over je Guldencoin munt, neem dan contact op met ny2cafuse op bitcointalk.org. Het is niet mogelijk om je bestelling te retourneren of om te ruilen.

I'm glad to see they made it in a timely manner. With the exception of no tracking, the fact that they made it to two separate countries very far apart at the same time is pretty awesome.
I'll be sending the shipping invoices within the hour.
Cheers, all!

Use of the hologram stickers:I have included 2 stickers in with each coin. This is in case you totally mess up putting it on or the first sticker gets tweaked somehow. Either way, it's pretty straightforward. There is a clear square in the middle of the hologram that will line up with the indent on the back of the coin. You need to create a paper wallet key pair, and print it out on a paper no wider than 0.5" in one dimension. It can be longer in the other dimension because it can be folded over. See this post for more info on the wallet: If anyone is wondering about loading these, I would like to note that I will not personally load them. I want the end user to load it themselves. This is more secure, and it takes a key issue out of the equation - losing digital coins if the physical coin gets lost/stolen in shipping. Additionally, I don't want to be responsible for making 250 wallet/pairs that could be claimed I still have access to. More secure IMO. For those of you that want to know how the key pair could possibly look, I made one in Illustrator with a wallet generated from Cryptolife.net. It's 0.5" x 1.5", and would be folded accordion style into thirds. The space on the coin for the pair info is 0.5" x 0.5". The font used for this pair was 7pt, and it is perfectly legible when printed on a laserjet printer. I don't have an inkjet to test with, but I'm sure you could get similar results. Here it is: ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FeZHAoP9.jpg%3F2&t=665&c=fL11ySBJdDd5ww) FYI... thats a throw-away address, and no one should use it as it's now public. -Fuse Additionally, you could use a qrcode, as long as you have a printer capable of high resolution at smaller sizes. I was able to scan a wallet address as a QR code at a 0.5" x 0.5" size. I haven't tested Bram's QR code generator with the added NLG image, but I think that would be even cooler. You can find it here: http://guldencoinqrcode.nl/. You could also just print the wallet address, and then keep the private key separate. That way if you lose the coin, you never lose the digital coins loaded on it. You could also do a two-factor key pair... it's really all up to you how you want to "load" the coin. Once you have the paper wallet, I found it was easier to attach the paper to the hologram first and then attach the hologram to the coin. I placed the hologram sticky side up on a flat surface and then carefully placed the paper on the sticker, aligning the sticker with the clear square in the middle. Once the paper was attached, I used a paperclip as an applicator of sorts to put the sticker on the coin. I didn't want my fingerprints to transfer to the sticker, or the oils on my hands to get on the coin. So I pressed the paperclip against the sticker while it was on the table, and then I was able to pick up the sticker without handling it directly. It also made it easier to place the sticker on the coin because my big fat fingers weren't in the way. For reference, this is what it would end up like: ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FzxbPI05.jpg%3F1&t=665&c=hXsWbl-1odycig) It's hard to write a good description of how I did all this, but I hope that helps. If needed, I can post a video of how I do it when I get home tonight. -Fuse
