vive Coldkey

Yes I got my tracking the same day I posted my question - thank you.

Hello everybody,

This is a little update to share some news regarding Coldkey with you all.

The first batch of the Commemorative Bitbills Coldkeys is finally (almost) all shipped out.
We need to redo the ones that were lost in the mail.

Also, we have had some technical issues with our card laminator and we are looking to acquire a new one tomorrow and get it delivered ASAP.

Once we have finished delivering this run, our focus will shift on finding the best way to provide a better service to you, and fulfill all any custom cards or past orders that were missed or lost.

Since a couple of weeks I've been thinking about how things were taking place before my long year break.
I let myself get too overwhelmed on many aspects of the project, so everything must happen differently.

This means we will look to get all the processes streamlined, but at the cost of all the special requests that were granted.

My ambition is to bring Coldkey out there to a more widespread audience, and I am conscious this would have never been possible without making these adjustments.

I want to greatly apologize to everyone I have left hanging but I have not forgotten you and you will be taken care of accordingly.

Thank you everyone, we very much appreciate your support, patience and love for Coldkey.
It is greatly appreciate and we do not plan on letting anyone down, despite how long it might take. 

Thank you,
yogg

They have been shipped already.

when are the auctions cards going to be shipped?

Hello! Our apologies yet again - We had some quality control issues that were missed before the hologram/laminate process, causing us to have to reject much of the entire first run, and reprint all affected cards.

Contributing to the issues - There were also other problems that occurred during the laminate process that caused other minor imperfections, also contributing to having destroy/reject more cards and remake them....

Because making the Coldkeys is a 3 part process, every step is dependent upon the prior for 100% quality in the end.

As just on example, you can see in this image, there is minor bleed on the black font that we found unacceptable for shipment on some of the cards:



As of right now, we had 3 packages get lost/never scanned by the French Post so they are being remade this week. We also had 4 other packages go out and should be delivered soon. We hope to have the rest of the packages done and mailed by Friday, but worst case will be early next week.

Lastly, none of the auctioned cards had any of these issues as they were made separately.

Apologies again, but this will all be solved soon, trust me.

@cygan, I will be reaching out to you later today via PM.

We thank you for your patience and understanding, and expect more frequent updates this week.

Thanks again!
Owl & Yogg

is there any further information here as to when all the coldkey cards will be sent to the users?
according to coldkey, the shipping should start this week now

Hi haloxon, thanks for the good questions!


I'm unaware of any open orders by you personally, so I will pm you after this post.


Yes, it will start back at Q2 2021. We will publish a roadmap.


Good old fashion "just BTC" for 50 euros like it was (for now).

Thanks again!

Hi everyone!

Thank you all for the well wishes, it's been crazy and a lot of fun so far!

Just a general update on the ongoing (slightly delayed) reboot of Coldkey:

Since I started working with Yogg on this project, I've helped him identify many areas where things must be improved - MOST importantly, this means no more sales of cards that are not 100% ready to be shipped in a timely manner!  Secondly, we are committed to NOT making mistakes (Which of course is not 100% possible, but we will try our hardest)!

Now that I understand much more about the amount of work, care and effort that must be put into each order/card, we have both realized things must be changed / streamlined in different ways, including a "Road Map" we are both working on for future releases/surprises/exciting things we have planned.  

We did get a few packages sent out, but then Yogg fell sick the other day with a viral infection, and has been resting a bit, but is now back on track, and he should have everyone's order out by this weekend or Monday at the very latest. (Some of these orders also contain some older orders for some users as well, which ofc slowed things down a bit too).

This will not happen again, trust me.    We are now 100% committed to Customer service & satisfaction being #1 - That said, the next releases of Coldkey's will be 100% ready to ship upon sales, and will be shipped promptly upon ordering, website or not.

Upcoming Things to Note & Small Announcements:

Bitbills sales thread 2 ETA: 3rd week of April

History Series Serial Numbers  

For those of you collecting serialized sets of the History series, we are going to continue to offer people their current serials moving forward. (As for how exactly that will work/cost, Please do not ask yet, as we do not know, but it must be continued for the greater good)!

So, you can rest assured your current/prior serial number will be there moving forward.

We are a year behind on the History series, so that is going to resume slowly, but we also still need more time to fix the website, and to get the back end processes straightened out so that self-funding of cards is again possible upon receipt of the physical card in the post.

Thank you all, and again I am very sorry things are not going quite as planned, but rest assured, within the coming month things will be back, and will be running much smoother & quicker.

I will be reaching out to a few of you with Tracking info tonight, and the rest a few more at a time each day until all are sent out by Monday... Thank you again for your patience and understanding as we move to make coldkey a well-oiled machine, and again, thank you for your support!

Cheers!

Hello everybody

I've been taking some time to get Coldkey back on it's feet, mainly to avoid the same mistakes on my end.
Really, providing cool and meaningful cold storage wallets is a heck of a dream job.

We believe that the dawn of physical crypto items didn't occur yet, and are taking every step to make Coldkey a perennial project in the industry.

So in order to bring our project to the next level, I'm honored and blessed to welcome owlcatz within Coldkey.

Moving forward, he will be primarily responsible for interfacing with you, Coldkey aficionados.
He will also be helping with the website, as his experience and knowledge of IT is very precious.
From now on, we are making things happen at Coldkey together.

Honestly if it wasn't for Zepher, owlcatz and I wouldn't have this friendship going on.
(miss you so so much Z... ='( <3)

We're currently setting up the Discord and refining our backend systems.
A new website will be available very shortly as well.

I and only myself will remain in charge of generating the private keys and producing the Coldkeys.
This will be well specified furthermore on the upcoming Coldkey website.

Besides this amazing news, a few updates for you :

- If you are a customer with an outstanding order from me, owlcatz will be reaching out to you very soon to sort out the situation.

- A new limited Coldkey release is going to be announced and available as of tomorrow.
(It's going to happen in the oldschool bitcointalk way. Sales on thread. )

- We don't want to overshare our plans, and there is much much more to come ! Prepare to be blown away.

Vive la Coldkey !
