► ► ► Cryptonic PHYSICAL MONERO

[Febo]

Hi
I got one coin in end of October or beginning of December 2014. And back then i was told this:

"They have just been created. A first test batch. They are different from existing physical bitcoins as don't include keys on its back side. Instead they have unique IDs that can be binded to any Monero address within our site that is still in alpha and need more testing."

Now since i read you had 100 coins made in 2014 i assume my coin was one of those 100 but was sent first shipping.
My coin have 7 number unique ID printed on it. Is/will be there possibility to bind it with Monero address?


I actually dont really mind that (usually coins with a flaw gain value) but am curious, since just saw on Monero forum 5 months old talks about using " two sets of 7 random base58 characters" for physical coins.

If you go to cryptonic.net, scroll all the way to bottom of the first page, then use the "Validate" button to find details specific about your coin using the two sets of letters and numbers on the coin's edge.

Edit, wait do you only have one set of numbers on your coin's edge? I don't think this will work, but I'm sure cryptonic21 will reply regardless.

These guys keep amazing me, thanks again cryptonic21!

It's not a problem if you have an ancient coin with the single ID. It should work as well. I have just sent you activation code in PM. Just fill in the first ID.

Thank you very much!

We thought about it and it should work as well! The early coins with single ID are also OK.

I just got my coin back from ANACS - Not too bad!



Looking forward to Blazedout419's grade!

So I'm confused... are there no holograms that come with this or is there no need for the hologram?  They look very nice though and am thinking of ordering one

No need for holograms. Each coin has its unique base58 ID that can be linked to any wallet.

At this moment it's fully functional with Bitcoin wallets at cryptonic.net but in the future it can be much more interesting with Monero wallets: https://forum.getmonero.org/4/academic-and-technical/221/creating-a-standard-for-physical-coins

The pure silver Monero coins have a good potential for rising collectors value as each batch is limited so the coins are very rare. Next batch will be also little different than the current one.

Only 27 coins are in stock at this moment.

I just got my coin back from ANACS also! I really love how much the color adds to these coins when you look at them. It is refreshing to see something besides silver/gilt. The DCAM designation shows that the coins were minted at a quality place which adds to them quite a bit. The only real downside with slabbing these guys is that you can not read the rim afterward. I personally hold some XMR and think that anyone who likes XMR should own 1 or 2 of these coins. I did just post these images in the #Monero IRC chan and others were impressed with it also.

This coin is Blazedout419 approved

This is indeed very cool. I hope that all developers can create like this

Thanks for the info. I can't recall, but is this next batch another 50 of the same, or do you have a new design?

It's still the same batch. We are going to initiate the production of the new coins with different design when the majority of already produced coins will find their owners.

Would it be fine if I were to pre order one, or have one reserved... and then ship it later?  I'm about to move to a completely new city in probably a month and would prefer to have free shipping if possible. It would be really cool to have on of these, but I'm not sure where to ship it too, because where I'm moving too is still up in the air.

No problem! Your coin will wait for you. We will ship it later to your new address later. You can just fill in any address and tell me in PM that it's your order.

Thank you!

22 pure silver coins are left in stock. The next shipment is scheduled for the end of the month.

Just sent you a PM ... The coins look fantastic by the way, hope I can snag one before it's too late!

I was browsing old emails earlier today and found by accident few funny photos. Some recalled memories made me smile and start thinking about interdependence of everything in this world.

Back in the days of February 2014 while we were slowly working through the steps of setting up our coin project I had initially contacted a jeweler who promised to create a nice coin for us. We made a little prepayment on April 10 and received photo of a wax model on April 22.

As you remember Monero was announced on April 9 and launched on April 18. We did not have any clue about Monero at that time and initially thought about a physical Bitcoin. But Synchronicity and Quantum Entanglement determined the subsequent developments.





The wax model was OK but not perfect. Anyway we decided to proceed with it and move on to a prototype. It took quite a long time to wait as they found a mistake in the first mold and started creating it from scratch.

On May 26 waiting for a plane I received the following email from the jeweler. It really made my day.

"I have a bad news. I know it is a little ridiculous, my caster already set the wax for the master on the wax tree, but because we have long holiday last week, they keep them not in secure place so it got eaten by mouse..."
