Topic: DO NOT BUY FROM BCMINT.com - page 2. (Read 671 times)

Great points! I agree and certainly respect Owlcats' question. I just wasn't sure if he actually meant to question MrCryptHodl. All fair to be asking. I collect and trade these collectibles mostly so do not sweat the wallets too much since I do not trust many to load personal money on. I ride with Ballet though. I bought 3 BCMint coins (only received 1) and would never load these items. I think the Cold Storage Coins, which are widely distributed on Amazon, Bullion stores etc., is a disaster waiting to happen, and there are a few I cannot figure out, one is mentioned by Owlcats. Hodl seems cool though in my book.

Buy Bitcoin & beware of shitcoins too,

Hi ! i hope you're fine ! 


It's me enchanted. I'm nobody, just MrCryptHodl, you can look in my profile and consult the threads I've created since January 2021 to find out.



I would like to hear them too, the last news the only problem I had was missed shipments because yes I am alone to do everything and sometimes it's intense!



My identity is known, it is enough to take the name of the company on my packages, to write it on the site of the register of the Swiss trade, for then fell on my Surname and first name and address.
moreover I am not hiding, AlpenCoin wanted to collect his book in person because he lives in Switzerland like me, I did not refuse, on the contrary, we saw each other and we talked together! a very good person by the way.(If you don't believe me you can go see his trust of 2021-09-03 in my profile.)


I understand your point of view, I'm not saying that here there are no scammers, I myself have been scammed in my life, this environment is complex, yes you have to do research, yes you have to do be careful because the coins are loader, etc etc
But is that a reason to vilify me like that?

are you doing this because you have seen newbies on my auctions? as you say below in my 5oz ingots thread ?


But have you researched and looked at my latest sales? I can tell you no, because the people you call newbis are all new collectors who participated in my old sales.
did you do any further research to find that I was advertising my collectibles and Bitcointalk on Twitter? Well no, otherwise with some research and comparisons you would have seen that they all come from twitter.

I don't know what you heard, I don't know who you are, but if you want respect from people, you should start by respecting them. You can be whoever you want, it can be written legendary under your nickname, I don't care.

If you have something to say about me, come tell me directly or create a thread, don't hide it in a thread that has nothing to do with it.

have a beautiful day !

Owlcats is not wrong. The reason I didn’t do that questionnaire for collectors thing BitBollo put together is because I just found myself writing negative things and I didn’t feel like putting it out there. Way too many of you collectors are far too trusting. So many of you new collectors don’t ask the important questions and don’t force makers to be more straight forward. If you read the scam thread you’ll notice I’ve written half of it, I have spent a lot of time busting coin makers and still people refuse to listen when I bring things up and just move on as if nothing has happened to this hobby in the past. Stay vigilant people, ask questions and stop being so trusting. You’ll notice the OG collectors here have fallen off from purchasing stuff of late and that’s for a reason!

Btw appreciate the thread, it’s important to always let others know about this stuff, never be afraid to speak up!

Maybe he's emphasizing that producers of a certain size should come out openly/publicly.

Albeit I made the first review of BCmint last August when I received my order (where everything went well) I wrote:"...but only time will tell how secure your privKey-management is => I, for my part, was not intended to load them anyway...". https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/bcmintcom-physical-bitcoin-updates-august-23-5356044

Just4Fun: let's calculate the scam assuming all keys are compromised (straight forward planned scam):
Let's say (by far) not all of the 321 & 500pcs. of both series have been sold (assuming 200ea. sold) and just a fraction of buyers would even load the coin (let's say 10% of these coins really got loaded... max. 40 loaded coins left) and no one in his/her mind would put more than 0.001BTC on that thing (remember: it's a $24,- coin)... but for worst case calculation, let's assume all of that 40 coins got loaded with 0.01BTC => 0.4BTC max. damage but I'd estimate it to be more likely between 1-10% of that.

Maybe I'm just lazy (fact is I'm not a scammer but I got scammed enough in the early days... what didn't make me immune to scams -obviously- but at least more cautious) but for some hundret or even thousand bucks I wouldn't set up such an operation. And also maybe that's what people at BCmint thought by themselves after a while and got tired of it and just left that whole thing with a pay-to BTC-address...

So, question to the community: Has anyone of you ever loaded a BCmint coin and are funds still on the address? And has anyone of you ever redeemed a BCmint coin and 1.) is there really a privKey and 2.) does it fit to the pubKey printed on the coin?

owlcats: this thread started with Bullion asking about BCMint and then you respond by saying "who the fuck is MrCryptHodl". Was that a misprint? I don't think any has ever had a problem with MrCryptHodl. I have bought 1 or a few of everything he has ever made and he is always great. One of the best creators making coins right now in my opinion with the special bonus that he can load them without any problems where he is, and that he is always reliable.

What problem have you had? I am sure this can get worked out.

Ive made about 15 purchases from hodlclub. Never any issues. Always came as promised loaded.

bcmint's pieces were also not sold loaded. --- nvm this was said above.

yes Warden was the BCMint representative. I last heard from him on March 16th. I believe up until the 1st qtr of this year everyone got what they had ordered/paid for - something happened near the end of Q1

Not to argue, but as for having the same issues - coldkey did have similar issues between last year to this year - I know I waited almost 10-11 months to get a card correctly funded.


The difference is that yogg had a strong presence here and had for quite some time. So he had earned that trust and I believe nearly everyone waited patiently for him to come back and fix the issues.

Idk about any of that buddy but it you’re talking about MrCryptoHodl from the 1HODLclub pieces he’s about as solid as they come in my opinion. BCmint.com is a website and I think the owner of the page may be a member on here but if I’m not mistaken hasn’t been active in some time. I’m not sure the issues you’ve had with raritycheck either but so far I’ve had none and he seems to be open and address any concerns anybody has. Also the BCmint pieces aren’t loaded/funded they are diy wallets. Hope all that gets worked out for you bro bc getting screwed over sucks. And I know it’s not aimed at me I completely agree on the topic of scamming and being careful who you buy from. It comes down to risk vs reward i guess and I try and make the best decision I can with the info I have at the time. I’ve only been burned twice BCmint included so hopefully that’s a wrap.

I can't say I did not see this coming unfortunately, that asshole was shady af from the get-go. Sorry for anyones loss, but this is why you should not buy loaded shit from strangers... BTW, who the fuck is @MrCryptoHodl anyhow? I hear he has a bunch of fuckin' issues going on as well... Keep to trusted loaded items made by people with known identities if you don't want bullshit or worry down the road, ffs, i'm sory but the common sense is not so strong here at times, I hate to say...  

People like this make the forum shit, and I've always been watching all these newbie dick-wads with a close eye... You know who you are...  *cough* rartychck lol...  

Disclaimer: Not aimed at you B-N-BTC, i hear you and glad you brought this up, I was wondering wtf was going on there - Just ranting I guess because I know coldkey products will NEVER be compromised or have such issues and it annoys the fuck outta me how people get away with such bs...


Edit - No skin in any of the games I mentioned either, Just bringing up "things" I've heard about etc... Take it as you will, I cannot reveal sources unfortunately... 

Do not buy from BCmint.com as you’ll basically be throwing your bitcoin away. Bought 2 pieces from them at beginning of May. Paid and got automatic confirmation email. That was almost 2 months ago. Have sent MULTIPLE follow up emails and messages. Have not gotten a refund, reply, email, tracking, or even a “F%#k you” of any kind. I placed a previous order in early 2021 and had no problems. Idk what has changed since then but I would strongly advise against spending any money on their site. At this point I’m at peace with the fact I got scammed and will be receiving no coins. Just wanted to put this out there for any thinking of scooping a couple up.
