I wanted to update everyone on their 'To the Moon' orders. If you are not aware, I have been posting updates to my blog @ http://kialara.com/moon-production-updates/

I have received the coins from the mint, and I could not be any happier with them - they're even better than I had hoped for - but I am still awaiting the steel housings. When I learned of the delay with the housings, I began to seek out a new, back-up supplier, which I have found. I am still expecting my current supplier to deliver, and they've been updating me on the progress, but I didn't want to take any chances.

The newly designed holograms arrived as well, but I felt they could be better, and knowing of the delay with the housings I decided to make some improvements and resubmit my order at an additional cost of $2,000.00, plus an additional fee to have them expedited - I want to get these perfect, you all deserve that... and I believe I will still have them in hand prior to the housings, which are estimated to ship June 25th or sooner. (19 days from now) Here is my last conversation with my overseas supplier, which I am happy to share with you all privately. https://i.imgur.com/7vMPuWx.jpg

And here is the last photo they shared with me. I will share more as I receive them. https://i.imgur.com/LNwBmoY.jpg 

The new/backup supplier has started production as well, but it's likely I will receive my original order first. They encountered the same unforeseen problem as my overseas supplier with producing the steel sliding clip... and also worked out a solution. I plan to use these as part of a future release. 

I originally added two weeks to the time I was quoted, and I apologize that this was still not enough time. I have made every effort possible to ensure I do get these delivered to everyone as quickly as I can. I'm working every day on it, and doing my best to keep everyone informed. I also have a lot of work ahead of me, and I'm just as anxious to receive these as all of you, and I'm extremely grateful for the patience that has been given to me on this project and all past works - sincerely.

Thanks for posting. I am confirmed on the mailing list and never received this email. Looks like shipping delayed to first or second week of July now.

I'm working on both an update to my blog and an email update to those waiting... I will be posting tonight. Basically I've reordered the holograms after making a number of improvements, and paid a premium to have them expedited so that they arrive before the bars do. I'll share more in my email going out this evening.

TMAN, that's simultaneously the funniest and most offensive thing I've read today. I love it and am still laughing, thank you.  Shocked

Meh.
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

Haha typical tman response but as on many other occasions that's a correct observation.

Mac is definitely a perfectionist, it shows in his work as well. I'd be happy with waiting for just as long as it takes, end result will surely be amazing!

For those that don't know, I've received all of the coins from the mint, but I am still awaiting the housings. I wanted to quickly share a new photo of the progress... as you can see a little more machining is needed and then these go to polishing.

I'll post a more detailed update on my blog next Tuesday. Getting there slowly, but getting there.

Thank you all.

Given the exchange rate in USD has doubled since 'To the Moon' bars sold out, this is by far the most expensive Kialara series to date. Even the 100k bars effectively cost around $700 USD if paid in Bitcoin. I hope there will be added security measures or an option to add signature confirmation.

PayPal was definitely the better choice for payment this time. Who loads a Kialara anyways? It would be a sin to destroy one to get to the private key:)

I don't remember if paypal was even an option for the suites. Paypal was there later on for sure but the opening day I thought it was just bitcoin. I am guessing most people paid in Bitcoin. Either way, I think trades/resales in the future will likely take into account the original BTC cost.

PayPal was always an option for the two piece sets and later the single 100,000 bar; can't speak for the three bar suites as they sold out in like five minutes.
