Topic: Kialara Physical Bitcoins/HAVEN: Update - page 17. (Read 70639 times)
Nice update, looking forward to see them in people's hands and possibly on sale/auction
good news, the housings and sliding clips have all been completed and the hand-polishing process is complete. Late last night I worked with the factory to make sure the engravings were in the correct location. All of the engraving work should be completed by tomorrow, at which point all pieces will go through a final quality control inspection, and then shipped out. I ordered extra assemblies to make sure I had plenty on hand if some did not pass inspection. So hopefully the next update will be shared Friday to confirm all pieces have shipped. Thanks again everyone.

wow its so beautiful. a piece of artwork. if have the money ill buy one of these are these physical coins have a real value sir?
Thank you silverkamote. Most coins, bars and some artworks here, mine included, have a collectible value in addition to an actual bitcoin value if the work is 'funded', meaning someone sent BTC to the address included on the piece. All of my works are sold unfunded, and it is up to the owner to decide on using them as cold storage devices.

Last week I was informed that production of the housings would be completed by Monday the 19th (tomorrow) and that the engraving would be completed Monday/Tuesday this week. It’s looking like these parts may ship out Tuesday or Wednesday, so check back for a new update no later than this Wednesday the 21st.

It's been a couple of weeks now since the last update, how are things progressing Max?
Max is a perfectionist and takes his time, dealing with him is like fucking a woman, the more foreplay the better the result.. leave the man be and you will shoot your load when it finally happens
LMAO! Classic. I've told Max this before but I think he has easily created the best cold storage units out there. Mike's are great and the OG's but Max took it to another level (lot's of other great one's I love out there as well-just IMO). I feel the same- happily and patiently waiting.Max- I was going to email you but felt bad doing so with as insanely busy as you are and kind of feel bad asking here too but have to. I started a thread about finding or having manufactured cases (clear air-tite ones like for bullion bars) for your Kia's, whether an exact fit for each type or universal w/padding for smaller versions. Are you aware of anything that exists that works well?
BTW- chi-town has been AMAZING- not sure how either of us ever left!
Thank you Chi, I like a lot of the collectibles here myself, and have a nice collection as well. It's fun seeing what others come up with over the years.
I've started thinking more seriously about protective casings and I've ordered a dozen different kinds from different manufacturers this year. None that are a perfect fit, I'm just working out what I'm wanting exactly and what materials to use. I worry a little that any hard plastic case could potentially scratch a polished mirror surface, while a PVC vinyl material would not. There are more options available if you go with an opaque container, but I know people might prefer a transparent one. I haven't ruled it out though.
Originally my cases were designed to protect the coin inside, but it wasn't long before I realized my cases could use cases of their own. And I do plan to produce something... most likely for the new moon bars first, as I plan to continue releasing works at this new size. And I can't promise it will be anything fancy, as I may end up leaning towards function over form in this scenario. But I am working on a solution nonetheless.
I know some iPhone cases and even business card cases can work, too: http://imgur.com/Uc6my1U
That is GREAT to hear Max! I've had the same experience as I posted in my thread how I've ordered bullion bar cases, oversized baseball card cases etc to no avail. I see how the plastic could be a concern scratching the mirrored surfaces. I am pretty sure the vast majority of us would Love to have something as clear as possible..otherwise those we show won't be able to appreciate the true art you've created. If you're already working on something I will likely forget the idea of having them manufactured as I think I wont have enough people wanting them then, as I'll likely need a pretty large order to just breakeven. Appreciate the timely response Max!! -Tyler
Thank you for all your hard work, and constant updates, Max!
I know every one of us are eagerly awaiting the arrival of your latest creation.
Really cannot wait to get all of mine! As you have probably noticed, I have already started setting open market prices for your bars haha! All the best, and again, cannot wait

Of course, I'm just as eager as everyone I imagine. Thank you for being a customer!
And I did notice that... the pressure is really on now

I just got word that there'll be a blog post with some infos tomorrow... Exciting
Word spreads quickly around here!
So basically I was told last night that the housings should be completed by Friday, and they will be engraved/shipped early next week.

I have not checked in with my supplier since my last email update, but I plan to do so in the next day or two and I will share any news I receive here.
The new holograms are in production, and I’ve folded and labeled all shipping boxes so they will be ready to go when I begin assembly.
Getting close…

Good news! A shame it is taking a while as I'd love to see those moonbars in hand and in auction. I knew some people received offers of 10+BTC for a Suite but that was before BTC almost tripled in price, so I'm excited about the outcome of this one. If anyone is going to sell some that is. I'd love one of the "cheap" bars at least, that's for sure.

Also is there a list of all of the public key addresses published somewhere to prove authenticity?
naypalm created something here: https://kialara.uberbills.com
Looks bare
I suppose there is no official list by Kialara.I'm still waiting for confirmation if the public keys are read left to right vs up to down. I want to find mine, but of course I don't want to send it to the wrong address! :p

Hi guys,
I have a question, how do you read the public key address on the original series? Is it left to right, or up to down? Thanks!

I think it has been and always will be left to right. But since it is a perfect square it could be up to down as well, lol. I gues you could try searching for the address from left to right and from up to down and see if both exist. If they do you will surely get a more confident reply in here but if only one of them exists you have your answer
.On another note, I did not take part in the moon series but I did receive an email earlier (not the latest one though). So perhaps there are some issues with the emailing service you are using Max. I'm sure you can figure it out.
Thanks for the help! I'm also leaning on left to right but just making sure.
