As promised, I have an exciting announcement!

In honor of the upcoming halving,
I have released an updated 2016 free Casascius eBook, that also contains many additional pages from the Encyclopedia of Physical Bitcoins and Crypto-Currencies. It replaces the Casascius Guide published in June 2014, over two years ago now.
That's over 90 pages of free Content!

In essence, it is a teaser to this book. The aim is to introduce more people t physical bitcoin. It is engineered to get the reader hooked on the subject, but it does not even come close to what is provided in the paid book. Getting more people interested in our hobby is good fr everyone.

That said, spread it!

The eBook is available at www.coinfirm.org



Thank you so much for the work put into this and for making it available for free. That is the right way to spread the love about Physical Bitcoins.
I think I will have to soon get your book as well. I was hoping for the new version (maybe in 2017) if you could make a cheaper paperback version available.
We are all collectors on here so spending $89 or less, with discount, for a book can be justified.
But I was thinking for regular folks and/or youngsters that are interested in BTC having a cheaper option may be great.
You know when you buy a book for someone for their Bday or Xmas or because they have left their day job to work on Crypto full time Wink, your book could make a nice and welcome gift.

With this I'm not saying your book is too expensive at all, from what I heard it is actually well worth the price.
I think the numbers that have been printed make the price what it is and I'm not even so sure if you could print a new 2017 version of it in colour (that's where it costs) at a reasonable price like $20/30.

Another option could be, make the book available as an eBook on the Apple and Google stores and print high quality limited editions for the ones of us that like it printed.
I mean if the eBook sells well it could sell in the thousands which may offset all your other printing costs.
I'd make sure to promote the eBook everywhere I can and if others do the same it could be interesting to see the uptake.

Not a new version per-se, only with minor revisions (added missing commas, fixed small factual inconsistencies, clarified sentences).
I can't guarantee about the paperback; I may be able to simply 'replace' it, and keep using the same ISBN.

Looking forward to it and thanks for all the continued work on this project!   Smiley

I have finished going through a 20 page list of minor corrections which I have implemented. This First Revised Edition will soon be published as a hard-cover.

I will also be making an exciting announcement in the next day or two!  Grin (something to celebrate the halving).

Stay tuned!

Is it like a new version of the book?
How updated it is in terms of latest coins?
Does it include the BTCC coins?

Will the paperback version be updated also and available soon after the the hard-cover?

I suppose that if some individual wishes to send a satoshi to each address.. that would be fully out of bithalo's or my control..

Will each wallet have a nominal satoshi in it, to place it in the blockchain ?

Maybe a comment, as well saying what it is ?

Technically it could, but I didn't think it was a good idea in selling funded physical coins/wallets to US customers.  I didn't want to cause needless drama for US sales.  For the same reason why TGBEX and Satori dont sell pre-funded coins to the US, and Casascius, Lealana stopped selling seller-funded coins.

Of course, the buyer could pay for the funding like the Lealana model.

I'd forgotten about Fincen. They could still gripe over a satoshi

Buyer funded it will need to be then !

I intend to publish a list of public keys for all of the Signature Edition books. If you are an owner and strongly oppose this, please voice your concerns to me by PM.

I also wanted to mention that the one large label used for Matthew's signature in the Sig Edition was more cream colored than the white paperback page, so it stands out more. 

The new 1"x3" labels I purchased for the 26 coin maker autographs (to be used in the Autograph Edition), as well as the square holograms are much more white that blends in nicely with the pages.  This link to my thread https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.15119801  shows that picture if anyone is curious.

Received mine, thanks!

- Include a hologram with a private key inside, allowing the books to function as paper wallets. They will be affixed by Howard Kesselman
where's the public key?

I provided a file of the 25 public addresses for the Sig Edition to elianite, listed by book number.  I imagine he could PM you, if he knows the book number you have.
