Do I have to trust the seller with the private key? If I want to keep this long-term, can I ever trust the 25 bitcoin stays in there?

I'd bid for the "superblock" though, hopefully it could sell for less then its weight in gold!

Im in, lets do an auction and see where this goes. I agree this is definately a nice piece. Lets see what the bct market think its worth.

Jesus, I'd have to sell a god damn stack of my bullion to afford this, I'd probably rid myself of a proportion of my physical coins too - but I'm in - subject to the fact that if I win the auction you give me 1 week to acquire the BTC to pay you.
This thing is a monstrosity, in an awesome way of course

From our collection of the Bitcoin Blocks mined so far, we have an extra large one:
Block #: 418,402
Address: 16AEBbzXfBuZb6atJu5coDMxtqGR8ieCoK
Bitcoins: 26.03392740
https://blockchain.info/tx/0d36ca5eb506babc58650d42a42e28f1aef1cf5b6d043c3b4c88b933c464efbe
Since it's the largest block mined so far, we are not selling it in the store, but rather, will auction it off in this forum if there's enough interest. (Starting bid for the auction will be 1.00 BTC, with no reserve price.)
If there are at least 5+ parties interested, then I'll start the auction in a separate thread.
thanks,
Bobby

5 people have expressed interest, should we have an auction?
I wonder what the customs import duty would be on this one.
Someone had to pay 185€ on the 1 BTC coin.

Sorry, don't intend on derailing the thread ( feel free to remove if necessary ) but is BTC something that you can be charged import duties on? I thought most countries class Bitcoin as a 'digital token'? I understand the duties on metals etc, but would they really charge duty @ x% of ~£15k?
If so I'm out.Tricky
Thanks for the responses cryptoheadd and stereotype, appreciated. Guess I have some investigating to do, better give HMRC a call and see if someone can advise. The main reason for concern would be exactly this - this is sent funded due to the nature of this product. I know when I've purchased coins in the past from Titan and Alitin Mint that they were sent unfunded, with funding being done upon receipt of your order, so the declaration for Customs was just for the metal contents. With an incoming value into a country at ~$20k, I'm assuming you would get stung instantly with full import charges, which would be pretty damn substantial. Tricky indeed
yeah ... and dont forget VAT considerations/declarations ... these points should have been clearly exposed before .. but they just seem to forgot this.. as they forgot it for the launch of their first physical crypto items.. just ask to their first customers in EU what they think about it..

If so I'm out.This shipment would be insured by BTCC and for that, they would have to declare the shipment value, i.e 30BTC or 20500 USD (As of now).
Customs fee would be a percentage of this value.

Is that an official bid or will there be a seperate thread with auction terms and conditions made...ending time, bid increases, etc.?
I wish you had used troy ounces instead of that puny 28 gram per ounce stuff...
31.1034768 * 10, now we're talking... and you can compare to gold
