Topic: Alpen Coin - “Switzerland’s first ever physical bitcoin” - page 14. (Read 6646 times)

thank you for your input - the tearing of the bubble wrap was from a non -sealed package and was loosely in place with 4 pieces of tape. I was not as careful as I could have been maybe but it was also not the same as the pizza ledger at all, that was fully encased in bubble wrap with packing tape tightly around it. I have probably over 100 deliveries of items and the only one that had any damage to it that could have possibly been me is the ledger you speak of. Me and LC resolved that.

as for the address, thank you - I will remove it for the moment, blur it and reupload momentarily.

as for the placement - https://www.bcwsupplies.com/solid-playmat-red


another good point! Will do - is there any specific kind that are best?

like these? https://www.amazon.com/Cotton-Gloves-Handling-Inspection-Photography/dp/B07ZMXNCQ5

OH my,

GET SOME GLOVES!

Handling coins like that is a sin.

Thanks for the videos and update Stryfe. In the future(or possibly even now) I would be careful showing any address (sender or recipient) aswell as any tracking numbers. Most of us here are harmless but in the future there may be some more nefarious actors that could use this information to their advantage. I know you're fairly public about your identity with your business ID number and whatnot but we need to be setting a standard for newcomers that might also want to make their own unboxing videos.
Also a very slight cringe moment in your video when you ripped the bubblewrap/tape off from the rest of the package made me think about the ripped packaging on your Ledger Pizza Edition lol, beeeeeeee more careful!!!!! I shuddered watching that part ahah.

All in all thanks for the unboxing and I'm even more excited to get mine now.

Also diggin the red velvety looking placemat

I received my coins today. I will share a video of my opening the package and reviewing the coins. I will preface with an apology as part of the video the coins were out of the screen partially (my grandson wanted to record and was giving me thumbs up all the way smh lol kids). I did take some photos as well. There was an issue with one coin where the holo was detached - I did speak with Frank about it, he thinks it had to do with the way they were packaged that perhaps that caused it to catch and be tore off on the coin holder (there is a slight lip on the inside). I then took another video of my looking the coin serial number up to get the public address to verify balance and then how to load the private key and retrieve funds via Electrum. I have since sent the funds out of that address as I am sure some tech savvy people could pull the private key from the video


Here is what Frank said about the packaging:

followed with a second email response:

video of opening: sorry for the delay - Youtube took forever to upload with the edit.

videos may still be processing. So, try the links again in 5-10 minutes if you are looking at this right after I post.

You are right, I did merit the post but not because of his private/personal information - I saw the links to public works that he had made (which my prior post was stating I would ask him about any involvement in other works) I assumed the address and contact info was for his work at AlpenCoin, So, I did not realize his personal address and personal contact info was in the post. When he (Frank) pointed out it was that it was his personal address and requested it to be removed is when I was made aware that it was his private/personal info not his public/work related info. I conveyed his request to minerjones who then removed it as per his request. It was sent to LoyceV to remove from his archives as well, and to TryNinja to remove from his archives as well.

I do not know if MJ knew it was personal/private information or not, I would think that he would not purposefully do such a thing. I do agree that was overboard and it may have scared away a coin maker - We will see when he releases the next batch.

Yet you merit'd the doxx. You guys may have very well scared this guy away from sales outside of his friends and family (which seems like his original intention). There is such a thing as being excited about something and then theres being WAY too excited and going overboard.

There were only max 200 up for order and Ffrankie claims to have ordered half of them (100) - not sure how many were actually put up or if he pulled them/marked them as "sold out" because he was doxxed here. I hope it was the former not the latter. He was pretty upset in his emails. I did try to explain to him it was not me that doxxed him and that it was requested for the info to be removed and that it indeed had been removed.

I was actually talking to another member yesterday about the page and was going thru it, he saw them as sold out while I did not. A few minutes later when I refreshed, I also saw them as sold out. So it was pretty quick indeed that they sold out.

If all goes well though and he moves forward with the next batch of 200, they should be up soon.

My order hit New York yesterday. So, maybe next week?

I am surprised to have seen so many sell out so quickly.  I guess we really don't know how many were made or that were up for sale. I might have just a few singles available and will let everyone know if I do or not when they are received.

I bought one 

when i checked just a few minutes ago they were not sold out. I did check - you dont have to always assume I am a dumbass either. things can change quickly. I have been in contact with the maker numerous times today and he also made no mention of them being sold out. It could be that someone just make a large order as well.

but thank you.

As a side note - I was also on discord talking about the same thing - so our posts here are also part of our discord conversation.

Maybe my order of 100 is gonna get filled?

You don't always have to be the first one to reply to someone else posting something. Take a second and do a little research before pressing the post button.

i do not think they are yet sold out. my comments are about another version of the coin, not the current one being sold

Didn't think they would sell out that fast , so much for my 2nd order.

Damn, I'm always too late for this kind of fun. How much is per 1 coin + delivery to Europe (Norway)? If you cannot pay in BTC, what currency they accept CHF only? Can I pay with PayPal? It's too late for me to buy from the website as they look like they are sold out (my french is a bit better than my sumerian) or out of stock.
They should be named "LoyceV's Coins"... c'mon, somebody should explain them why.


So there will be more coins coming soon, if I understand correctly, any rumors when they will have the website in English?

I think they are still in the process of assembling the coins. I think the OP was in super early on the starting up of these coins. So a lot is still being done as each day passes. I checked the serial numbers previously and some of the early ones had multiple ins/outs - and as suggested might have been test coins. but the numbers did not go even as high as you have now. So, they are either just funding them and/or just updating the site with newer information.

Type in the serial number you are looking for https://www.alpencoin.ch/public-key

If there are 400 coins minted as they claim, then they have not all been updated as of yet. I will check periodically and update list accordingly.

Edit: Looks like they are up to #128 with public keys and so far funding stops at #105

how did you get the addresses? those are all the ones you bought?  or did you do it all via that look up tool on the site?

as for mintage he told me there would be 200 with the bright finish and 200 with a matte finish.

I was able to purchase the last few the other day. Still not sure on the # of mintage, but here are the current addresses....

If someone has a better way to share these I can edit this post.

I edited my prior post - the size of the coin is 30mm not 39mm as per a recent email I received from Frank.
