price is lower again. perhaps you give it a try.

What I have read is, that at the beginning the Austrian Post has planned to give priority and reward those collections with many achievements. But because of the high gas situation they changed it. It's enough if you have a collection and with at least one CS in it. Does not matter how many CS you have in your collection. So far about 31 collections with only one CS inside the collection won a CSGU.

it does not matter how many are in the collection? what is the criteria to be selected? your post above says toe collect "achievements" to hunt for the Unicorn - I have 16 that I would redeem (the other 12 I will either sell or give away) I have given away a few already.

I wonder if there is any value to the one stamp with 'satoshi' in the pass phrase? lol would have been better if the stamps were based on BTC not ETH lol

you already created a collection, so try to transfer or buy at least one crypto stamp into the collection for qualifying for the onchain raffle. The chance to win a golden unicorn is about 15% each week. 3 weeks left. ;-)

The difference between onchain crypto stamp (OCS) and the normal physical CS is, that for the onchain you will have the NFT first and can request any time the physical counterpart (unfortunately you need to pay gas for every steps). Whereas the physical CS, you will have the physical stamp first but the NFT is not minted yet.

to be honest - I have zero experience with ethereum or the onchain store and did not understand the difference when purchasing - someone had posted the link to where I could pre-purchase them and I did - it just so happened it was physicals - I looked at buying the on chain ones now - and its nearly the same price as xferring the physicals nearly $12 euros each

tell me this if I buy on-chain ones, do they automatically send me the physical ones? do I have to request them? And is there a cost associated to getting the physical ones after buying on-chain ones?


edit - after reading the response right before mine - I think I will just hold onto the physicals - periodically checking gas prices and eventually redeem them when its reasonable. Sadly, this will remove any chance of winning one of the golden unicorns - though I assume that chance is slim anyways. And I wasted $15 to create the empty collection lol

I'm not sure why you just didn't buy an OCS stamp or two here:

I think taciturn is saying you need an OCS stamp in your collection. Not sure about imported physicals. I do it in reverse. Buy onchain, then have the physicals sent to me via metamask. I don't recall it being super expensive, but maybe it was. The ETH network is really shitty lately, so many shit-tokens/contracts lol.

You misunderstood how the crypto stamp golden unicorn (CSGU) onchain raffle works. The criteria are: you need a digital collection and at least one crypto stamp in it. That's so far the minimum. Every Thursday after midnight (CET), sometimes later, the system will randomly select collections for a CSGU. You need to connect your wallet with the Austrian crypto stamp site and check your collection. If you win, you can't miss the huge full page win message. You need to claim it before the next Wednesday by filling out the address data and signing the transaction (free). Transaction is set with 100 gwei, so if ETH network has higher gas price it can take few days for the smart contract to fulfill the transaction. As long at least pending transaction or better successful transaction, everything is fine. If you see the won CSGU in your collection, then you will get the physical CSGU counterpart. This raffle will end on the 5th of October 2020.

As you already know total mintage of the CSGU is 999 (500 physical sale Onlineshop, 299 Onchain Raffle, 200 physical Raffle). So far 154 of 299 Onchain Raffle CSGU have been distributed and about 25-30 of 200 of physical Raffle CSGU have been sent to winners. Another 100 of physical Raffle CSGU reserved for the scavenger hunt game (until 21st of September 2020).
Differences between Onchain Raffle (ID 0-298, marked outside with 390000-390298, rectangle packaging), Onlineshop (Physical Sale ID 499-998, square packaging) and physical Raffle CSGU (ID 299-498, marked outside with 390299-390498, rectangle packaging): Onlineshop and physical Raffle CSGU still have the NFT in their original physical counterpart wallet, whereas for the Onchain Raffle CSGU the wallet is empty because the NFT is minted directly into your collection after the win claim.

Really great from the Austrian Post to make 499 CSGU worth minimum 249,500 Euro (gold value not included) as gifts to CS collectors/enthusiasts.
