My new silver, physical bitcoins.
Mike, Great job on the new design.

Will you be making physical LTC if possible anytime soon?
why don't you buy physical LTC from smoothie? Mike has been encouraging competition for a long time. Now that finally some shows up, why not support it? Maybe it'll bring prices down back to sane levels at some point.
I agree with the competition sentiment and have no plans to do LTC.
Boussac, the mini key you obtain needs to be converted to the 51-char key (WIF) by either going to bitaddress.org and inputting your minikey into the details page/tab or inputting it into Casascius' key gen tool. Then import it using the importprivkey command from the debug window -> console tab.
I stll think the satoshi client should support direct mini private key format import.

Suggestion to Mike: in your best practices for private key redemption, your blog says that the satoshi client does not support importprivkey.
This should be corrected since the new version of the satoshi client does offer the feature via its "help>debug window>console" tab.
Then just type help at the command line if you need it.
Question: are there high res pix of the 0.5 BTC coin and silver coins available ?
I need them to update my shop (microbitcoin.fr).

The Satoshi client, as far as I know, does not support 30-character minikey redemption. It only allows redemption of 51-character keys.
I posted high resolution pics to the Bitcoin Wiki, just look at my revision history. Note they aren't professional shots, but at least they are higher than screen resolution.
I can see where the confusion comes from as the term "private key" is sometimes used interchangeably with "mini private key".

Initially I, too, was confused about this as well so I can see where the misconception or overlooked details may come into play.

Is microbitcoin.fr still in buissness and trustworthy?
Yes! Sadly he raised the price (1.35 instead of 1.25 before).
Is microbitcoin.fr still in buissness and trustworthy?
Yep. Shipping to the US was expensive, but it arrived in 4 business days.
The coin I got was funded early 2012.

David Bailey from HardBTC.org here, apologies for being off the ball here regarding funding and responses. I normally try and fund coins well with 24 hours.
But on this occasion there was a delay in funding the coin and in fact also a delay in responding to bluespaceant's email. I would like to apologize for these delays and any concern caused.
The delay was caused by unexpected childcare duties (mild child illness) occurring without adequate cover.
I'm glad to say the child is fully fit again and back to nursery today. Normal business may resume again. I have now in place adequate cover to prevent a repeat occurrence.
Regards

So what do I need to do to make sure the coin I received gets funded?
Basically you only have to enter the firstbits on blockchain.info to know if the coin is funded.
I know how to check it, the balance is zero. The problem is that I notified hardbtc.org that I received the coin over a day ago, and they have not responded to my messages and the balance is still zero.
Mr HardBTC is a genuine guy. Your coin will be funded.
If he hasn't replied in 24 hours, send me a message and i will text his phone for you.
