in the last hour we have had a wonderful member of this bitcoin community step forward and offer a loan for the remaining 10 coin needed to recoup the stolen amount - this means that none of the items will be sold and the museum will remain intact
I would like to thank everyone who has assisted us in loans and donations towards this amount, you have all restored my faith in the BTC community and I am now typing with eyes full of tears
and I would also like to say to everyone who showed an interest in this auction that I thank you for your support and kind words. Thanks to you guys the museum will not be getting split up, if you all hadn't got the word out there we would not have received the loans and donations that we did.

Are you selling item(s) individually or are you hoping somebody will come along and put up the whole 14BTC just to hold everything?
If selling individual item(s) interested in knowing how much your asking for the 2011 Casacius Physical and whether or not it has been redeemed.

I'm asking for offers in this thread...

If someone came along and offered a loan, that would get me out of the shit and save my arse!
Otherwise, I'll sell the smallest amount of items to get the 14BTC I need. If I end up having to only sell 5-6 items to make that up, then I only lose 5% of the Museum's items.
Although I was hoping to one day have grandkids and watch their faces light up when I show them the rarest BTC1 casascius of them all...THE ERROR COIN
hopes & dreams...it's what keeps us all going

How much hashrate do you need to make 1 btc
June 25, 2014, 09:31:44 AM
About 1-2 years at this point. These now basically cost more to run then what they generate

The museum items have been put up for sale.
Geez I hope I can raise the required amount before I have to sell some of these things

..the community should rally for proven and established members that have been the victim, regardless of "coulda shoulda wudda" finger pointing and provide help where needed, especially for something important. Nothing is 100% safe and secure and I'm a little shocked at the lack of pledges here.
With that in mind (and thinking how upset my real boss would be if our wedding day had been in jeopardy) I'd be happy to send a gift of 1BTC, I don't want it back.

I'm glad to see this too... and i agree -- its a little surprising that more people aren't helping out.
I hope they will inspired to the rally.
I gave an interest free loan, not because I get something out of it, but just because it feels great knowing you helped someone.
It would have been a donation, but I am not really in a position to give out donations like that. I'd rather give a loan of 0.5 btc than a donation of like 0.05 btc
I really hope more people step up and send some money his way.

Being the victim of a hack and very large theft quite recently myself, I can sympathize with how you might feel...especially as it was for something so important in your life.
Thankfully I'm lucky enough to be able to take the hit financially, but many like yourself that suffer these hacks & thefts are not...the community should rally for proven and established members that have been the victim, regardless of "coulda shoulda wudda" finger pointing and provide help where needed, especially for something important.

I hadn't noticed this thread so I replied to the other thread first.
I'll copy it here too:
I would be able to provide you with a loan of 0.50 btc
Since these are special circumstances, you can take as much time as you want to pay me back, and I do not want any interest.
I will send when you confirm this is ok for you.

Also read the thread, i hope you find the 14BTC...quite the people out there to hijack wallets. I also hope your doing good health wise, from the newspaper picture to the one in this thread looks like you lost alot of weight. Keep your chin up, your ladie loves you and will stick with you through the thick and thin rite by your side. I would think your better off going to a bank for a loan or work some numbers if you have a mortgage. Im hoping the best for you.

Im going to keep an eye on your 2 threads on this matter. I think that the community should be able to come up with 14 coins. The problem with using it as collateral with a big group is obvious. What happens if bitcoin were to skyrocket to the moon in six months, lets say it hits 5k, would you still be able to pay back the 14 coins?
side note: I didn't think it was possible to for an armory wallet to get hacked, but I think you explained how it happened and it would make sense...

what I should have done is used the scrambled on-screen keyboard when sending transactions in armory.
I thought
"That's a good idea, but should I bother using it instead of typing it into the keyboard?"
I should've fucking listen to my gut.
*sigh*
You know what the name of the virus was called. Hard to track bitcoins but much easier to track the virus and servers used.

I can tell you from experience if you want to do well in life wait till you have some paper before you go throw a big party and vacation. I have been ripped off many times and i buckled down and worked harder i didnt decide that by all possible means i must throw a party besides the facts that i have no money. I know you had a date set so what? If you are paying 25% extra on your cash to party and go on a vacation you are just going to be that much more broke after. Then you have to find out if they take crypto currency seriously at the pay day loan store? then you find out you knocked up your little bitcoin buddy, then you get hacked again!!!!! i don't want to be a jag off but come on man you are just going to dig a hole
I'd love to delay the wedding, and honeymoon! But I'm already half paid in both
I really really want to goto Hollywood before I lose the ability to walk. I have a degenerative bone disease which is squishing my spine into all sorts of shapes. Fucking up the nerves that control walking, bladder, and...other things.
I still have a few years left in me, but unfortunately I'm already committed to wedding/honeymoon. :/
