Seal them all into your garage floor somehow.  That would look amazing.  Just don't ever try and move.

Should I fund them first? A hologram floor would be sweet.

What about doing something like this in a public setting? Could you use them in building some steps or something functional at a park? You could probably raise money to pay for it.

Otherwise, you could donate them to an art program at a local college that will surely make something out of them.

Your blog has a lot of Kansas City area photography jobs, you wouldn't happen to be from the area would you?  Any change you would want to get together for a beer and sign a Kialara coin for me would you?

Yep, born in KC. I'm not signing any of my kialaras unfortunately but I can possibly meet up for a beer, and sign a napkin for you. I doubt it would be worth anything  Cheesy I had a lot of people asking me to sign these and if I did one, I'd have to do them all. I want each piece to be identical. I am thinking of painting a piece for the Signatute Series, and I'll sign each of those. Pm me.

Your 2014 kialara is my favorite, i like it more. Its a shame i did what i did, but hey if you want to destroy them is your choice to do so.

Are you that guy who opened his? To gamble with?  Smiley
Do you have to say it that loud? :/ :p yeah, i still have it saved nicely.

sorry for yelling. i think it's cool you're the first to open one.   
I believe im the second or third, i rememeber someone asked and then a guy said that he done it for test purposes but that it was really difficult, i agree, it took me a good while to open it, screwdriver and hammer is kinda a crave, good job.
Are this the pictures of you opening it: http://kialara.uberbills.com

Just curious, when will the next batch of kialaras get shipped (to Europe) Grin
i took out the metals first so the plastic protector wasnt damaged, it took me a while to find the privatekey lol.

It's actually tempered glass so please be careful.

Yes, I opened one at Smoothies request. I use loctite and power tools to seal them permanently. They're designed to never be opened, so do so carefully - at your own risk. The newer Signature Series pieces are designed so that they may be opened without damaging the case.

I'll have the EU group order shipped out Monday, global express.

Would it be worth using them for another production or have someone else produce a coin-like item??


The center bit would look awesome as a coin (without the square casing).

mj, I don't believe so but thanks for the idea.

TNA, it's a nice thought b/c it would cut assembly time in half (selling just the coins) but I've already committed to discontinuing them so that's the plan. The 1BTC silvers are almost gone as well, and I'm kind of looking forward to retiring this design. Unless anyone's keen on a 15oz, 24k gold version?  Wink

For now the plan is to contact a casino near me and ask if I can borrow their dice shredder  Grin 
Yah the 1BTC silver is a must have for me but a 24kgold? Omg... but dont start launching so many in so close time between them, make us wait :p.


As some of you know, last year I discontinued the 2014 Original Kialara.

My newer designs are from a completely new set of suppliers, and the quality is reflected in each piece. As quality does get better, my hope is that appreciation grows for my original design which I consider to be less impressive aesthetically.

I want for my art to be considered as a store of value in and of itself, and so I’m always thinking of ways to achieve this. I have a little more than 1,000 unreleased 2014 Originals, and I plan to destroy the parts remaining - effectively cutting back the supply permanently.

I’m writing to ask your thoughts on how I should do this. I need to document the physical destruction of these discs, and in an environmentally-friendly way. I thought I'd put this out now hoping I'd have an answer by the end of the weekend.

Any ideas?

Can they be slabbed and graded....Huh?

I can grade them. How many you want?  Grin

Actually bc I am getting pm's, these are not for sale and will be destroyed.


Slabbed and graded ....I meant Poured and leveled.....    garage concrete floor/ physical bitcoin pun intended
