Cards arrived along with the extras! Thanks again for a job well done! Cheers!

Love the design 

Thanks for the feedback Jcga !

The February History Coldkey is available during one month after the release. (12th)
Given that we'll move the release date to the first days of the months, exceptionally you will be able to purchase both during a limited time (~7 days)

Beautifull cards, received the "History Coldkey edition for January 2020" card plus some others. A picture coming.

About the February one, is the deadline on March 5th, just to make sure, thx.

Received email with tracking 

Christmas comes early in February to Krogoth's humble domain. 

Yes, I did.
Received it on Saturday and Im expecting my Februar CK today or tomorrow. :~)
Thanks!

Hey everyone

A lot of orders have rolled out recently.
Did any of you receive the email from La Poste containing your tracking number ?

---

alam- No, the previous ones are not available anymore.
They were the Loaded Coldkeys for 2019 and a limited quantity exists.
Cueneyt1986 is right. It's too late now.

Also, I don't think we'll do banknotes some day.
There's enough great stuff to do with our current material for now.

Please don't go off topic any further. Thank you.

@acemax

No, they shouldn't re-open that, because they were limited!

yogg - Are you planning to re-open the regular cards for sale again? I would like to get few gold color regular coldkey cards if you have some.

Do yo have thought about creating coldkey limited edition paper banknotes? I believe it will be very poplar.

Thanks
acemax

First of all :

- EU orders will be dropped in mailbox today so they leave tomorrow during the first hour.
- US orders will be dropped at the Post Office tomorrow morning as I need to retrieve a stamped custom form.

/!\ We do not send the tracking number to you by email any longer /!\
You should look for an automated email from :

"LA POSTE <[email protected]>"

They do not send it instantly after the creation of the tracking number. There can be a few hours in between.

Thanks for sharing your concerns. Let me explain.
I absolutely agree and there's no excuse.

The release was on the 15th, you got the tracking information by the 20th but your parcel was left at the post on the 3rd of February.
(Also, please use the USPS tracking with the tracking info you got as it is more accurate in your case than the tracking link that was provided to you.)

Anyway, most of the orders were dropped off at the Post end of January/early February, around the same time.

I am conscious that the processing speed isn't as fast as you would expect; however it has been constantly delayed a bit since the beginning.

I admit it, until now it's been complicated for me to process orders efficiently.
Do batches of orders ? Make them all at once ?
Process orders individually but redo each step every time, order after order ?

I'm putting my process into question, constantly looking for improvements.
I'm not an expert in logistics, and I could learn a lot from Mantis Prime ways.

One good example of an improvement would be the paperboard envelopes.
They ensure the Coldkey packaging doesn't get bent during transit; I don't need to cut paperboard with cutter anymore and use tape to secure them.
It seems like a detail, but this detail ended up saving me from countless hours of cutting paperboard.

I'll explain what is going on : we are growing.
We realized thanks to you all that what we do with Coldkey is viable, given that legislation & governments are slowly embracing crypto.
The next step will be to make Coldkeys for alts and advertise them in said alts communities. It is going to get more serious very soon.

Our roots on Bitcointalk will most likely help for sure !!

I became aware with the Contest / Bitcointalk Coldkeys that it will become increasingly difficult to keep up with the operation in those conditions (running the operation at my home).
I started looking for solutions to "scale up" and this is the reason why I increased blocks size I rented an office space for the company.
We moved in it between the 24th-27th of January, and yes minerjones, your order fulfillment started at my place, but has been finalized in my new working environment.

Yes, it lacked profesionalism and this isn't what I want.
With the right environment, many great things can be accomplished.

As of now, there are two Coldkey releases ready, one being developed, but I won't make new Coldkeys apart from the History serie, as long as this isn't something that rolls out smoothly.

I say "we" as in a company, the "corporate we", but in the end I do everything by myself (except for the artworks and Xprim777 helps with tweets and doing small bits of accounting).
Believe me, I would prefer to take time to spread awareness about Coldkey and work towards getting the agreements to sell crypto for fiat rather than handwriting in the packaging (my handwriting sucks) and make the parcels / print stick labels, on top of the actual production, which takes most of my time.
I'm not around anymore as I used to be, let it be in private chatroom or around the forum.

I manually double check that the address on the Coldkey, associated with the serial number, is the same than in my records, same for the AuthKey, so it's all good for loading & release.
I prefer to be late on the delivery rather than mismanage funds, addresses, authkeys, whatsoever.

It's not a very fun time in my life because of the quantity of stuff to think of, but it tends to get better.

I'm working very hard right now and hopefully it will pay off someday.

Yes, sure. It will become much more stable and smooth when I hire someone to take care of a part of the whole process, but until then, I do my best.
It will most likely happen when we have raised some initial funding to expand further.

In late december / january, it became increasingly complicated for me to run the operation and do the production at my living place.

To be clear, this makes me very confounded towards you all; I wouldn't like my order to take 2 weeks to be processed.
However I prefer to take a blame, face all sorts of consequences but state how things are, instead of fiding excuses and flee.

I'm thankful to every customer for your patience and support.
I'll do what it takes to stir this boat into better waters, please bear with me as I build & strengthen the operation.

Yes. I am aware of that and this is why I am delaying the rest of the Coldkey releases.
(Loaded BTC &  ALTs Coldkeys & some other surprises..)

Thank you for the "quote/inspirational advise". It is very correct sir.

Also, that's one reason why the History Coldkey release will happen earlier in the month.
(Another reason is to have a BTC/EUR rate at release that is closer to the one on the Coldkey)

I want to ship these by the 4th of each month.

---

Thank you for your feedback seek3r
Yes, well this is how I want to process orders and the way to do this fits me well.
Your order arrived in at the moment when I was finishing to fulfil them all.
I just finished that batch with your order.

---

Thank you haloxon for your patience and your feedback on that matter.

I'm grateful to you for your continuous business.
It's been a pleasure to serve you for many months now.
Soon, we will be offering a program to reward our most loyal customers.
I can already say that you're part of it, among some other patrons.

hey sir,

i guess u r from the US, right?! shipping from EU -> US or from US to EU is often a problem which is caused by customs (atleast here in Germany)..

I got my Januar CK within 3 days because its in the EU i guess.. but the tracking ID did not update yet aswell, so I think its the same problem like you have.

I was a bit late with the January funding

I was faster with the February one, looking forward to receive them

Look great! Keep up the good work!! This set will look great next to its siblings! 

---

Hey Agrawas, thanks for the question.

Yes.

The mintage might be different for February and March according to sales however the mintage for January is now settled in stones.
For this edition, the upper limit is 64. It would have been sold out at that stage.

Now if somebody wants a January one, the only way is to purchase it from a previous owner.

I will post the complete list of all the public addresses for the Jan 20 History Coldkeys in a while, maybe tomorrow.
This is only for transparency sake.

By the way, I still plan to make some kind of basic tracker so everyone can see what's happening, regarding all the releases.
I planned to do it last week but events didn't unfold as I wanted.

So many things to do but I'll get there.

Hi Yogg, So just to be clear that the mintage of the Jan Coldkey will be locked at 37 and no more will be created?
