I had an order that I was told was ready to ship in October - never received tracking, zero response from yogg on any avenue of attempted contact. Yogg is not showing active on forums since Nov 9th.

I have about 25 cards that are not yet received. Hope to hear from Yogg soon.

i can completely reassure you and i can also understand your displeasure 100%.
but all your orders will be processed completely and then shipped to you
give us some more time Lips sealed

yes - I get that but when receiving an email in October stating order is ready to ship and asking for address confirmation, would think the package would then ship after confirmation has been given.

Love yogg and his work but shipping items timely is not his strong suit nor is communicating what is going on. I know he has you and Owl to help but so far it is not making any difference if the bottleneck is still yogg.

I have an order from a few months back; not received and no response to messages.

Just an FYI for customers in France ONLY

The French post no longer tracks / scans parcels until it is delivered. Roll Eyes Therefore, your tracking will not update until the package is received, see here for reference:

Thank you - Again, This does NOT apply to deliveries to the USA or anywhere else. Wink

Hello, it's long overdue for an update on the current status of Coldkey.

First, some of the Bas orders have been delayed.
They are in process and rest assured will be fulfilled soon.

On top of this, I just recently noticed shop emails aren't sent properly.
This implies that all emails with shipping details haven't been sent as well.

Most of the Bas Coldkeys have shipped as of last week, a few parcels remain to be shipped.
I'll be going through them all send manually the shipping details to every customer.



Due to the high interest in the latest sets, we've become backlogged on shipping a bit.
Some people also had some custom orders.

However I am only one person and cannot possibly fullfill all of them as timely as I would like.
The process is long and timely, and prone to unexpected happenings. Sad
This is a source of frustration and needs to be addressed.

We are releasing and listing Coldkeys carefully to temper the incoming orders.
That allows us to process it all before we are comfortable to move on further.
Sometimes it takes longer for various reasons, independently of our will.

That said, we have been working to get our new operation streamlined via a small move of operations.

We are still functioning on a "best effort" basis.
This is neither optimal or satisfactory but we're doing our best to keep Coldkey going.

TLDR : Please don't misunderstand the message.
It's just sometimes, it takes a few days to get some order going.
Sometimes, it takes a week or slightly longer.
We're carefully maneuvering to not let ourselves get too much behind



Also, I wanted to say something about communication.
The way it has been happening and kept going on also became a source of frustration.

I present my apologies to everyone who reached out in some way and didn't hear back from me.

Over time, I shifted from being a member of our community to a maker of physical Bitcoins.
This has been tough to deal with, and needs to be done differently.

Despite owlcatz's help with communication, some people reach out to me directly on IM apps.
I've been sharing my details quite openly before getting involved with Coldkey.
Today it's not helping as I can't be present on all fronts to reply to everyone.
This cannot keep going on. For the best, I will be disabling Telegram, Discord, WhatsApp.

Also, I will be disabling Bitcointalk PMs.
In my profile, I'll add email addresses :
One for Coldkey related purpose, and another for a more general Bitcoin and bitcointalk use.

I'll be reaching out to everyone that I've been in contact with, to explain this. (on all IM apps)

For you as for myself, this can't go on like it was / is still happening.



We do not remain idle behind the curtains. Smiley
Here is a sneak-peak of what we have in our pipes.



More info in an upcoming ANN thread. Smiley

Funding :
At first : Coldkeys shipped funded in mail.
Then : When a buyer confirmed the proper receipt of their parcel with our 2FA procedure, I was funding Coldkeys manually.
Now : When a buyer confirms the receipt of the parcel, there is a 2FA procedure with a BTC transaction. This funds the Coldkeys instantly while still providing a high level of security during transit.


i have already been able to test and try out the new funding method and must say that i like it the best and that the procedure is explained in a very user-friendly and understandable way. Smiley

Hello everyone,

Time for an update about Coldkey.

These last few months were a bit chaotic, but I am very happy to say we got the situation back under control.
It took us some time to fulfill all our obligations as we were reaching closer and closer to get back to normal operation.

It feels a little like a new beginning, as many things have changed from the day Coldkey began.

A few examples :

Order processing :
Before : When an order was placed, the Coldkeys were produced.
Now : The whole batch is produced beforehand and kept in stock while sales are ongoing.

Production :
Before : Coldkeys were manufactured one by one, every step was launched manually.
Now : Coldkeys are still produced manually, but the overall production chain has been greatly improved.

Funding :
At first : Coldkeys shipped funded in mail.
Then : When a buyer confirmed the proper receipt of their parcel with our 2FA procedure, I was funding Coldkeys manually.
Now : When a buyer confirms the receipt of the parcel, there is a 2FA procedure with a BTC transaction. This funds the Coldkeys instantly while still providing a high level of security during transit.

Example of new Funding instructions document enclosed in ongoing parcels :





I want to briefly address the hiccups related to the latest sales of the Q3 2020 History Coldkey full sets.

Coldkey has been in somewhat of a difficult spot since the reboot.
Hardware failure and replacement issues aside, we still had some pending situations (now taken care of) and I made a wrong decision at one point, which I reconsidered and dismissed.
This decision impacted our ability to timely deliver and finalize the orders that have been placed at that time.
It was disastrous as our customers who bought this listing faced some frustrating wait.

We are still experimenting some disruption at this level for now, but we've also never been so close to be fully caught up since I had to take a long break in 2021.

This is where we need to draw the line.
We chose not to sell gift cards or find other ways to get things resolved. We ate it all up. Sad

Starting from today, there will be no more disruption.
Coldkeys without funding are processed timely.
Coldkeys with funding are processed timely.
Our new procedure makes it possible for you to trigger the funding of your Coldkeys once you received them, without any further action needed from our side.
A few customers have already experienced this funding method and everyone went through without issues !



As small roadmap of what's up with Coldkey for the rest of 2022 :

Q3 2022 :
- Website + Coldkey Authenticity tool (Authkey) restored.
- Coldkey Discord server.
- Q2 2021 History Coldkey release.
- 1 new concept // surprise release.

Q4 2022 :
- Coldkey Tracker website.
- Q3 2021 History Coldkey release (Early Q4)
- Q4 2021 History Coldkey release. (Late Q4)
- New collection of Funded Coldkeys. (Such as the 2019 0.001, 0.005 and 0.01 ones)



That said, we want to thank ALL of our customers for their support, trust, feedback (positive or negative) & the ongoing enthusiasm for new releases. <3

Thank you for reading, and please feel free to raise your voice or ask any questions you have. Smiley

Hello everybody Smiley

It's time for a little update about Coldkey.

After the reboot and the messy sale of 1st batch of the Bitbills 10th anniversary commemorative Coldkey, I'm bringing some news to you all.

We have finally completed the shipments of the 20 sets that sold.
Most have been already successfully received.

Unfortunately, 3 sets (shipped together at the same time) went missing so we had to redo them.
These are the serial numbers 12, 14 and 23.
They now exist with a "*" (a star) after the serial number to point out they have been replaced.
(Similarly to what the US does with it's notes : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Replacement_banknote )

During this time, I was in touch with owlcatz on a daily basis.
Sharing some details with him about the different steps involved in the Coldkey production was very positive.
Thanks to his input, we have drastically improved some steps of the operation.

A few changes will be visible soon and will definitely improve your Coldkey experience while making some production steps easier to us at the same time. Smiley



The 2nd sale of the Bitbills 10th anniversary commemorative Coldkeys will happen in the next days.
There will be 10 sets up for sale, as well as an auction.

Sales will happen on our website shop and will ship within the next working day after your order has been placed.
The auction will happen on Bitcointalk as usual. (with a twist Wink )

We'll update the ANN thread about the next sales when it's available.

Another 3rd and last sales will happen at a later date.



We're almost caught up on all things pending and aspects we were running late.
There still is a handful of custom requests / orders to take care of.

I expect to be 100% caught up by the end of the month, so I can keep on working on Coldkey with a free mind. Smiley
Finally I'll be able to spend more time creating new concepts and innovating. This is what I love to do with these techs. Cheesy

Thank you everyone for your love and loyalty to Coldkey.
Thank you also very much owlcatz. It wouldn't that easy to get back on track without your help.
