Topic: [INTEREST CHECK] - Autographs for the Encyclopedia of Physical Bitcoins - page 6. (Read 9190 times)

I'd like to reserve a hardcopy as well. Do all signers get to reserve a copy?

Amazing!

Forgot to mention...miffman's brand new Bitpieces have been added yesterday.  So the count is now 29 different coin makers.

Reserved my copy of the book, looking fwd to it

Good point.  Elianite should be allowing reservations for the Autograph Edition Hardcover book. 

yo ! yeah i know it bithalo, as specified, i already have discussion on this with elianite..

Kind regards

I most certainly appreciate the interest, but please note that I'm not taking reservations or orders yet.  I need to ensure how many people I get back in case some don't send them back or they get stuck in the mail.   I'm still trying to add a couple more as well, if possible, like BTCC, Ravenbit, Alitin and possibly a couple others.

i wana state officialy my reservation    Thank you .

( already have background discuss on this with elianite.. )

No problem.  I'm still waiting for many of the labels back from other people too. 

I certainly appreciate having you part of this.

I'm hoping to have all of my labels and holograms all done lasered signed etc by end of next week. Probably shipped by the following monday.

Sorry for the delay. In Hawaii time moves slower. J/k it's been a busy summer.

 

Looks like this set of 50 is going to be truly rather epic..

OK.  I sent TopWorldCoins an email now. 

I also got creative and contacted the CEO of Alitin Exchange / Mint today thru LinkedIn, after many repeated attempts at emails.  The owner has tentatively agreed. 

If anyone has some inside contact with BTCC, can they ask Bobby Lee to PM or email me?  After he gave me his personal email and expressing interest, which I then sent him both followup PMs and emails, I haven't heard from Bobby since 7/3.

That coin was a pretty big deal if I remember correctly.  Might be worth putting in some effort to get him involved.

I did get a new email for Tom or is it Tim Hamon?? today.  I hate to nag someone if they're not interested.  But there's a few people I feel should be included like him, bhcoins, and now BTCC (though doesn't have an entry in the book yet due to being new)

I also tried a couple times each, but didn't get replies back from PMs or emails: Antana, Alitin, Cryptocoin warehouse, Nolacoin, Recalescence, cryptovault, Nolacoin.  

I havent asked yet: Antaui  (Worldcoin), Coinbull (ebay seller),  Banx Capital (closed), Coldcoi.in (closed), Geek Bitcoin (closed), Jinn (closed), Mike Murphy (closed),  Jose Rodriguez's Startcoin (closed), Sol Noctis, and some others in the book, as well as some of the newer mints... Squallcoin (new), Cryptocracy (new).

If any of these mints (or any that I'm missing) are seeing this thread and would like to participate, kindly PM me.  I would donate 0.05B on your behalf to a charity for your participation.  My preference would be if you live in the U.S in the essence of time, since I don't want to extend this too long.

Does anyone know Tom's identity? Is he still with us?

That would be awesome if we can get both their holos for all 50 sets.    I really want to have bhcoins and Ravenbit in this project.

I got another email address for Ravenbit today from a fellow user, and sent yet another email.  I've probably tried 3 PMs (asking a few times) and 5 emails trying to ask Tom at Ravenbit.  I feel like a stalker at this point.

I would prefer to keep the signatures consistent and hand-signed.  I think it wont look right and isnt my place to include signatures that weren't signed and approved by the coin makers.  My COA will state that all signatures have been hand signed and sent directly to me from the coin makers.

There are a still a number of coin makers I haven't asked yet, but I didn't want to ask everyone, because some names are more obscure or less popular than others.  It also would make pricing rise, and I don't know if people wish to pay for some lesser known coin makers that produced coins not often spoken on the boards here.    Some examples are: spyco.in, Bull coin, Antaui worldcoin, Sol Noctis, etc.  I could also ask some of the newer mints that recently started this year, but aren't in the book.

The only other mint I've been trying to get an answer from is BTCC.  Bobby Lee contacted me back once last week, expressing some interest, but after repeated attempts by me to Bobby's direct email, I haven't got back any more replies back.  Since they're overseas and appear to show less interest in the project, I would hate to have the labels never get back to me and hold up the sets.

Thank you.  Its been a lot of PMs & emails back & forth with all the coin makers (not just the ones who participated), and work getting the packages prepared.  Though basically only bhcoins and Ravenbit were really the only two makers I couldn't get a response back.  Mostly everyone that I asked agreed. 

I think its a cool project to have all coin makers involved in something together.

I want holos.

Pricing is still TBD, since I wont know for sure if all the coin makers that I sent out will come back in time.  I've received back as of now, 6 packages back, and so far everyone who uses holos, has included them along with their signature.

Back when elianite announced the AE edition, we had 17 signatures, and no holos or extras planned, and the premium was expected to be around $225-$300 for the Encyclopedia.  We've added a lot more since then.  If everyone's comes back, I will have 28 coin makers, with possibly 24 of those will have their holos (some coin makers do not use holos on their tokens), along with a doodle by BitcoinPenny, and some extra signatures that I've been asked to keep as a surprise.  My OP has the list of coin makers participating. 

Out of the total 50 serial numbered sets being made, about 15 are going to the first set of coin makers who agreed to participate and prefer a set, another 20 are set aside for the Encyclopedia Hardcover Autograph Edition, 3 set aside to minerjones in case someone wants a new softcover with the autograph set added, and the rest (roughly 12) being sold as loose sets, for anyone who already has a book, whether its a softcover or one of the new regular edition Hardcovers, that are still in production.  Pricing will likely be around $325-$350 for those 12 loose sets for sale.  I will also have a few sold in auction.

Here's one pic that Luckybit sent me for his labels, so you can get an idea.  Labels are 1 inch x 3 inch on acid free archival labels with foil backing.  Some of the bigger holos are being put on separate 1.5 inch squares of the same quality label.

Many of the coin makers who are not receiving a free set, will instead have a 0.05B charity donation being made on their behalf, as well as 5% of the proceeds of the loose set sales also going to charity.

No problem Was a pleasure to help, great project and David is a great guy.
