Originally sold for $22, released in Jan 2018. Has a different kind of crypto on it. "Group" something...when I first looked into these, face value was $1100 so yeah...the Austria crypto stamps are definitely not the first.

The Stone the masons rejected was the cornerstone.
Btw: Your chances for one or more red stamps is 40.5% if you ordered 50
Yes indeed, i got the same 1-(1-1500/150000)^50=0,405
That being said, the exact calculation involves the hypergeometric distribution. However i agree that,
in this case, the binomial distribution can be used instead.
Best regards
The only thing i am worried about this calculation is if it’s truly a random selection that they are offering to people.
I hope so too...but then where humans are involved
Jup, I am very suspicious of that too.
Today my first order of 25 stamps arrived...
Very poorly results.
- 18 black
- 4 green
- 3 blue
I might just be very very unlucky... but chances are, some orders might be tempered with by some of the employees doing the packaging and are actually prescanned (mostly for reds but possibly also for yellow ones).
I think the color check code area should've been covered as well with a scratch off to prevent this from happening.
The Austrian post office should be made aware of these issues to prevent them hopefully from happening again

I don't know why, but when i started reading, just the first words, i had the feeling that they had to cancel the order because of "congested networks"...Hopefully this is not the case, just a delay...That being said, for me, no letter and no Email from them lately...
Congested cause they are overwhelmed by the amount of order they got! They were probably not expecting this and IMO handled it poorly.
I also am still awaiting a letter with an activation code. I have received two emails stating...""We have dispatched your sending today"
Does that mean they have sent my stamps? I know they have charged my credit card so I hope they are on the way!

I haven't recieved anything except an email right after I ordered. Cant read the email though so no clue what it says. My name and address and my payment amount are in the mix of the email so i just supposed it was a confirmation of my order like most online shops send you after you order.
I'm on the same boot...Nothing since i placed my order online, exactly a week ago (on 06/18). I hope they didn't forget to send my stamps...
Btw, just curious, for those who ordered, how many stamps did you bought? Personally, i bought 50 stamps...Yesterday, i dreamt i had a red one in the lot...Perhaps, it is not just a dream...I still hope so...
Have a great day.
Uhh nice! Good luck with it. Really hope they will fill all the orders made.
Btw: Your chances for one or more red stamps is 40.5% if you ordered 50
@ tweetious: It was actually announced in most German-speaking tech media as well. But still most of us didn't expect them to sell out so quickly...
@frank:
Then again, regarding the low mintage of 1.5k worldwide... I guess demand will be higher than availability.Exactly what I was thinking. If you ordered enough of them, there's a coin-flip chance that you'll get a red.
I ordered 8 stamps on ebay that were marked black. Guess the person didn't know they could be scanned. They arrived and I ended up with x4 black, x1 blue, and x3 green. Granted I paid $30 each lol

Same order date as me. A red one had a "best offer accepted" on ebay. Their ask was $8900. Not sure what they got for it. But I'm guessing probably close to that!

it seems that there was no distribution since days...so everyone who ordered online should have it reserved.
they sold the remaining stamps at online store in a 30 minutes timewindow yesterday...and it seems there will be some remaining stamps distributed to post offices during the coming days.

Wow, impressive!
VERY impressive indeed, if you take into consideration that they sold 150.000 stamps in 10 days! and not some cheap, pennies worth of, stamps...

I received a shipping notification for both my orders (2 different shipping notifications, one for each order) via email. However I didn't received by mail (yet) any confirmation code. I might have received a confirmation code by email although.
Are we supposed to be receiving something by email to verify our address you guys are saying?
I placed an order on the 18th but have had no updates.
