Greed is definitely something that destroys or taints so many good things.
This coin is the start of something good.

Finally as well the review should go live next week and a draft will be to you by sunday.
That should help as well.

Well, every bit helps right? We have a proverb for that in The Netherlands: Wie 't grote niet eert is 't kleine niet weerd?. It sucks that you lost BTC in that bullshit exchange and I hope you can earn a bit back with this project (and upcoming projects). Because you deserve it as well. I wish you all the best!

I would love to mint coins myself, but I have no idea how to do that nor do I have creative mind to think of something nice. Roll Eyes

I hope that my small donations help. That's an interesting saying

It does suck- but it was my fault for still using them. I knew better, but I was greedy with all the crazy volatility. I actually warned my friends against using them myself! Should have taken my own advice, so should one of my friends in particular!

I appreciate your kind words. If you're interested I'd be happy to share the details of the designing and manufacturing of my coins with you. I had no idea how to go about it until I did this project. It's been a great learning process but I think the best thing has been meeting lots of new people in the community.

We are a interesting bunch of people. Haha.

And yeah greed is one the things that will make you do stupid stuff even if you know of better. I know how it feels as I have gambled a lot on the past.

I would be very grateful if you could share some parts of the process. I would appreciate that a lot. And yes meeting amazing people in the community is great. I meet up with NewLiberty last week. He also makes coins (the cold hard cash ones). Was a great experience

To tell you the truth, it will be shipped first thing tomorrow morning! On a Friday I tend to mark items as shipped that I post on Saturday.

I'm glad that you're excited about it, I've had a great time making them.

Ah, no worries man. No problem at all. It won't arrive before I get home anyway, so that isn't a huge problem Tongue

I know it's not much, but I'm just starting out. I'm hoping that as I build momentum, I'll be able to donate more. It takes a few grand in total to help free an individual from NK. My aim is to raise at least that much in the next year or two for Liberty in North Korea through my projects and donations.

As to people being thankful about me doing this. I and a few of my friends had BTC in there, this project wasn't about poking fun or getting revenge, but about awareness, reflection and perhaps a little humour actually Wink

You and the community are welcome. It's been great fun and I appreciate your purchase.

I admire you for donating 10% to charity. It might not be much, but I think that every person that had BTC on Mt.Gox should be thankful that you are doing this. I love it when people give back to the community. So, thanks a lot for doing this.

Just updated the OP with the first donation to Liberty in North Korea.

Thanks to everyone who has purchased, it feels great to be able to donate to a charity so close to my heart out of what started as a fun side project.

will you create physical Unobtanium-tokens later? We could possibly help you with the marketing of those.

As I wrote somewhere before, I have a simple idea for some UNO related coins. I can start looking into them soon. Thanks for the interest. I'll start thinking about material and design and bounce some ideas around. I'd like to move on from my stencil-like design here and have something simple, memorable, but with more depth than my vector art so far :@)

I didn't see pictures of the copper.

Are any of the coins stamped with content?
- Meaning, I didn't see the 1 Troy Oz - 9999 anything like that. (picture of the back?) (Diff between the plated and the pure?)

Slight interest in the gold strike as well.

Maybe adjust OP for price in dollar and/or btc?

I could read through again; however, on quick glance, I didn't see escrow options.

PS. I like the idea. Makes me wonder if I could sell my YubiKey for even a slight fraction for what I have in Gox. Any interest? Sad

Technically the standard coin is copper-zinc (brass), with silver plating and painted. It's more recognizable to put copper in the title.

The coins are not stamped with content- this is something I should have done probably on retrospect. I could film or record the results of an official test if you like?

I'm still in correspondence with my supplier about gold strikes, these would be a new design, with numbers laser etched, purity and weight stamped too.

No escrow is listed, I am happy to use escrow though. Frankly, the sales I have done so far have not merited escrow use, with my post and reputation no one has asked for escrow yet.

I want to keep my gox yubikey as a memento

I hope this answers your questions, please let me know if you have any more.

Will be talking to my manufacturer about some pure gold strikes, currently have a few people interested, please let me know if you'd be interested too as this will be a super limited handful of strikes in gold!

Thanks again for the support guys!

Looking into buying these on facebook. I'd rather get rid of fiat than my crypto Grin

Hi miffman, yes I have heard the sentiment expressed my others, myself included! I'll pop you a message.

Got rid of the payment method discounts, they were impractical and probably not that effective. Reduced prices by 5% to make up for it.

Just thought I'd pop by to say this is hilarious. I hope these sell well.

Thanks Thok, so far the interest has been encouraging! I need to make more of an effort promoting outside of the forum though. That will be easier when the website is finished.
