@BTCcollector19 awesome thanks for sharing!

@themerceny, glad you are happy with your set and soon to arrive suite. Thanks again.

@ezeminer & AT101ET thanks for answering those ?’s for me.

regarding the cases, the new design has a thinner surface on the front and back - the thicker the material the more opaque - so instead of maybe 90% transparency on V1, V2 is closer to 100%. Also added a simple locking mechanism as I was worried the weight of some of my bars might be too much for the pressure-fit design of V1. The sample has been completed and I’m told the TPU material functions as I designed them, so am happy to hear that. Still some time before they become available, but should be early this year. I went with the TPU over a hard plastic to prevent the delicate mirror-finish on some of my work from being scratched up, which added some challenges with the production.

Locking mechanism:

Here are some photos my manufacturer just shared with me. I should be receiving this V2 sample soon for approval.

3) It has been explained that security measures used by Matt to print the private key?
Has it manifested itself in any way, or has it said that it does not keep behind these private keys? I would like to know if there is any url where I talk about it ... Huh

Usually security measures are not revealed, thus trial and error is the only way. Finally, The only way to truly know if the private keys are there is by destroying the piece.

I’m not sure if this still applies but see here for the original series: https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/2e32dg/as_an_artist_and_collector_of_casascius_coins_i/

1) in the web of kialara in the bars says: Kialara Coins are shipped un-funded with a balance of zero Bitcoins. Please do not load more than the face value to the address provided with your coin.
- why can not you recharge more than the kialara bar?
- what happens if my bar puts 100,000 bits and I input 1 btc? Huh

You can load it with more. It's just preferred that you load with only face value. This is because other products have been overloaded in the past which doesn't add value other than the coin loaded.

2) The only way to open the kialara bar is by breaking the tempered glass. at the ? Shocked

You just break it completely, thus destroying the art which was the intended design.

Hello kialara lovers, I love these works of art.
I get a series of questions that are sure to help many other users like me. Huh

- why can not you recharge more than the kialara bar?
- what happens if my bar puts 100,000 bits and I input 0,11 btc? Huh

The new designs look amazing. For anyone who missed it they're available here now.

Any updates on the cases for these and the older Kialara's?

edit: just noticed this at the bottom of the description:

Custom protective cases for these and past designs will become available in the springtime, as new molds with modifications were necessary after not being completely satisfied with the look or functionality of V1.

So already sold out? People are bying in bulk to sell the max price i guess Angry

Hi all, a few updates:

I'm still awaiting some parts for the 2018 Kialara but assembly should begin at some point later this month. Excited to share.

The cases I had produced... I was not completely satisfied with the pressure-locking functionality and I submitted a revised drawing and should receive a new sample in a few weeks after the new molds have been completed.

And happy to share this photo of these guys mixing concrete for the footing of a new Haven functioning beehive sculpture being installed in Powell Gardens, Kansas City's botanical garden. Thanks to everyone who has been so supportive of this project.

Yea i'm fairly certain there is already another project in the works, or at least in his mind, planning it out. Looking forward to whatever it is.

Haven't seen any activity for a while, just wondering if all is well and when we might get word of some new Kialara projects. I'm lined up and ready to go on just about anything that Max has to offer.

Let us know what you think of them when you receive them. Hopefully all are starting to slowly receive their sets and hold onto them for a while.

Max - what kind of values did you use for customs declarations ? (just so I know when they try and sting me. and can - hopefully - argue my case)

Hi all, wanted to share that I received my account back. Thank you to those who helped me with that.

Also, I've been working long hours each day this week to fill all of the outstanding moon orders, and have been shipping each day. I will continue assembly tomorrow, and will email each person still awaiting their order tomorrow night with an ETA. More tracking numbers coming also tonight and throughout the day tomorrow.

Excellent, removed temp feedback.
