All 3 coins I bought had BTC on them.  Shame I had to peel them.  Never peeled a coin before Sad  My god are private keys much harder to read than I thought.  

Also whats the easiest way to deal with bitcoin gold?  I really haven't done much with it.

Hopefully this attempt to reach you will not be in vain, graviate (I notice you haven't been on in a while). I have a 2014 .01BTC Microsoul that, according to the firstbits, is funded. I would like you to explicitly tell me that you are suggesting removing the holo and redeeming the funds to ensure they are in-fact there, effectively eliminating the [substantial] novelty value these coins have, and that I paid for. Furthermore, I would like to know how (and if) you plan to compensate for this lost novelty value ($200+/coin). Or, can you assure me that since the firstbit lookup says the coin is funded, that it is in-fact funded.

Either way it looks as though you aren't gonna get the answer you want.  Novelty value you won't be refunded.  Can the coin be determined to be loaded without peeling and try to redeem, nope.  You peel and there is funds on there, then the funded coin price goes down because it's peeled....

Agree...I have a loaded Microsoul...Does it say it is loaded..yes...Is it? probably the public and private keys do not match. That is the way I will let it stay as the amount of Btc in it is very small.

It will be a part of our Physical Bitcoin collectors history, and that is the only reason I am keeping and not peeling.

There was no real cut off date and no meaningful amount of refunds.  I requested a refund immediately and never saw it.

Some coins do have a valid private key...some not....so it’s worth peeling if you want the btc.  Please just don’t sell the unpeeled as funded and screw the next person...
 

That is not something I would do.  But Still very concerning.  I guess I'll have to find out when I get home.   Sigh.

So I have been out of the game, but it seems that might be to my detriment.  Some of these coins are NOT funded?  and looks like I missed the cut off if they are not because i wasn't here.  That seems pretty shitty, didn't realize i would have to keep checking the forums after a purchase to ensure that my coin is funded.  

Indeed it is, making mistakes can happen.  Giving people on one forum 2 months to ask for a refund of the btc value when people don't always jump on here is indeed shitty.

I certainly make mistakes daily, but a  arbitrary cut off date decided by the person who made the mistake is stupid.   

Since I missed the cut off should I even try peeling the coins?  Seems pointless

Just to say, I peeled a 0.05 2014 coin this morning and it was funded (thankfully)

How did you go about redeeming them?

blockchain.info firstly to sweep the btc. Then downloaded electroncash to redeem the bitcoin cash.

I really didn't want to peel this coin, it felt wrong. But there is no way I could sell it with this type of controversy surrounding them, it didn't feel right.
Don't forget to also claim your Bitcoin Gold!

It is very simple if the coin is funded, the private key under the sticker is the correct private key and the code under the sticker is the actual private key and not a private key that has been modified by an obfuscation algorithm (as some of the private keys were).

1. Peel sticker
2. Import or sweep the private key into one of any number of Bitcoin wallets.

Almost all modern Bitcoin wallets have either a private key import function or a private key sweeping function.

So... I'm one of those people who bought Microsoul coins back in the day.

However, I've never actually redeemed a private key before. How do I go about doing that? ELI5 Smiley

Blockchain.info should allow you to import private keys, however depends on the private key working.

I checked out Blockchain.info, but couldn't find an import option. Seems like it was a feature in the past, but not anymore(?)


It's now located Under "Settings > Addresses > Import Bitcoin Address".   The link is text and it used to be a button from what I remember,   Wink

Found it, thanks.

I just get "The value you entered does not appear to be a valid Private Key or bitcoin address".

I get the same message when I use the key that I sweeped in Electrum (previous screenshot) and a new one I opened.

I've never redeemed a microsoul coin before but if the key under the holo is a full private key than all you need to do is import the key into a wallet.  Although it seems as though it looks as though it's a game of luck at this point... Undecided
It depends on what wallet you use.  Some wallets have an "importprivkey" function.  Look for a way to "import a private key" into your wallet.  Check their help function if they have one.  Use Google.  If you have an HD wallet more than likely the function you are looking for is "sweep private key".  In this case the wallet will automatically move the BTC from the imported private key on to one of the HD generated private keys in the wallet for safe keeping.

I used the sweep option in Electrum and this happened:

After I hit "Close", nothing changed. Nothing in my history tab or address list.

If I try to sweep again, either with the previous private key or a new one, the "sweep" button is greyed out.

Have users redeemed their microsoul coins based on this thread and if not, have you added your addresses to a watch list?
