Nice coin!

Are you going to be at the Vegas conference on December 10th and 11th?

Yes.  I'm just back from the London Bitcoin Expo,  Vegas in December, and then likely just SoCal meets until Miami in January.  I'll miss India, and Singapore this year.  Something to look forward to for later.

I gather some great criticisms from people who attend conferences, as well as gauge the measure of support for the project.  As it stands, it looks like we will keep funding it for the foreseeable future.

This has been my schedule for gatherings since the project inception at the Bitcoin Foundation gathering in San Jose this Spring:

Is this the first appearance of the Bitcoin specie in a mainstream media video (in Italian)?

Haven't visited ""GOODS"" in a long while .............  I like what your doing here, interesting qr code concept too, Well done NewLiberty!   Grin

MJB, you have something very special on its way across the ocean to you.
You will have to let me know when you get it.  Wink

Thanks Joseph I'm totally blown away, what an amazing gift couldn't believe my eyes when I opened the package,  I'm no photographer but thought it deserved a picture or two. Thanks again mick






You are a better photographer than you give yourself credit.  Shooting coins is challenging.

Nice coin!

Are you going to be at the Vegas conference on December 10th and 11th?

I've been asked how many of these are out there...so:

Mintages so far:

FIRST STRIKE - 40 final
Satoshi Nakamoto whitepaper 5th anniversary - 100 final
First year of issue numbered, gold electroplated - 100 final
First year of issue unnumbered, gold electroplated - 1 final
Satoshi Nakamoto whitepaper, gold electroplated - 1 final

Silver Bitcoin Specie 1 toz Cold Hard Cash, standard issue 1804 3004

Updated mintages to current...

silicon valley meet up was a blast.  There is strong interest in the gold 1oz, which has been delayed as we are hard at work on a project for the litecoin foundation which has priority.

More specie types are in the works though.  If the growth rate continues it may become self sustaining in 2014.

Anyone distributing these is paid by the pricing model as the more you get the better price you receive, so it is an easy bitcoin business for anyone to do.

The premium calculation seems to be working nicely now.

Time for the 2014....   1 ozt silver....  TEN MILLIBITS?
That is a factor of 25 from 2013.
2013 was quite a year.

It is rapidly becoming apparent that pricing the premium in bitcoin is proving to be untenable, and we are looking at changing this to pricing in silver instead to provide a more predictable rate with fewer adjustments.

Bitcoin prices are really doing well, and we are looking to provide the closest value with the most predictability.

Please look for a new announcement as soon as this adjustment is completed.

Thank you for your patience with this project as it develops, and especially to the courageous who have traveled this road with us in developing this natural extension to the bitcoin currency.  Your comments and feedback has been tremendously valuable, and we are very grateful for your insightful critiques and generous compliments.

Wow, that is fantastic, I feel like a little kid.  The first thing I've ever bought with Bitcoin (off my phone!) are some of your specie. Woohoo!!  Gonna be Xmas presents for my nieces and nephews.  Totally brilliant, and very easy to do.  Made up (as we say in the UK)

My first Bitcoin purchase was also from NewLiberty (a New Liberty Dollar), six months ago (which feels like several years in Bitcoin time).

YES, good times.
I remember that clearly, BitPappa.  Downtown LA
That was after the San Jose Foundation conference this year, back when the Bitcoin Specie was still in the quasi-secret planning stages and I wasn't even talking about it much then.

When I was there I was asked to start issuing specie (precious metal coinage) for bitcoin.  It took most of the year to see it realized. 
The gold pieces should be available very soon now as well, and thereafter the fractionals.

There still aren't really enough bitcoin users to roll out everything right away, and these early year mintages are REALLY tiny so as Bitcoin grows, they might be pretty sought after.
There are several elements about the 2013s that will be different from all others made.

If you are in Europe, you are in luck.
BitGild.com, the premier European gold and silver dealer for Bitcoin, located in the Netherlands, who have been doing very well by getting the Bitcoin Specie into the hands and pockets of the people of Europe have managed to move swiftly and scooped up some of the low numbers of the FIRST YEAR OF ISSUE collectibles.

If you move fast, you may be able to get one, but you should certainly get your Silver Bitcoin Specie there as you will certainly save on the shipping from the US and get them much quicker.

Be sure to show them off in London at the end of the month if you can make it over there for the con.  You will be very popular.  Smiley

In fact, the QR pricing is designed so that anyone can benefit as a distributor.  Even if you buy just 10, you get a better price per than buying 1, so if get any decent quantity, you can make a few bitcoin for yourself when you meet up with other folks that can appreciate them.

Agora Commodities is now also offering direct sales of the silver Bitcoin specie!
Buy from them if you can, their USD direct prices are lower than mine are unless you are buying in bulk, AND they are much better at the retail transaction.
I'd encourage anyone in the US to buy direct from Agora:
