Topic: please delete... auction postponed (Read 239 times)
The auction is postponed until I have the necessary evidence of authenticity. I'm sorry for the inconvenience. thanks for your understanding
I appreciate your response. While all the questions might be overkill, you *are* trying to sell "one of a kind" items on a bitcoin website - and bitcoin does not ask you to trust anyone. In fact, the phrase "dont trust, verify" is practically a holy scripture here. So I believe you made a grave miscalculation thinking people/buyers would simply trust your words.
Also, unfortunately in this day and age almost any photo can be manipulated to show one thing or another so it's hard to use a picture to prove your point. Perhaps if you show a picture of yourself at the event & also one with your username it would help? I know this isn't ideal for OPSEC but its a start. I haven't seen your username by these frames either, for the record.
Lastly, it's clear you've worked hard on this frame, gathering the signature, etc - but without a COA it's hard to prove authenticity. I've put together several big items for different auctions and the people signing their names/autographs were *always* happy to sign or provide a COA and even take photos while doing it. So some of the excuses I'm seeing don't quite add up for me, but to each his own.
Again, sorry if this is a big witch hunt and completely unfair, I just want buyers to always be careful. Loads of scammers have come through here so you never know.

After reading this, I have to admit, I was too naive...

Not manipulated.
Well, I definitely will try to get a solid proof for everything. Promised

The guy with the concern wrote this among other things:
FDC are always stamped with Laser and so is the Stamp on it.
There is no FDC with a manual stamp!!!!
The Laser Stamp on FDC and on stamp is the safety feature for it!
But he is totally wrong and doesn't know much about the crypto stamp. The following image from the First-Day-Event proofs that there are manual stamps.

I find it concerning that others have expressed concern over the validity of these products (since there's no proof, COA, etc) yet here we are with a live auction suddenly before we get good, formal proof that everything's legit

Hello Jack, I opened the auction before the concern of kermi85, which was the only concern. I edited the post with all the signed prints and added more info to make it totally clear. I can assure you, that all the actual stamps are originals, that the handstamps "Ersttag" and "Red FD Unicorn" are originally stamped in the headquarter of the Austrian Post of Vienna and that all signatures are 100% real and legit. I drove 600km to our capital city... just for the meeting and to get this all done.
To be honest, I didn't think about this and didn't expect that such an offense would happen... so I was thinking about how I can give you guys a proof in the last hours.
I am still in contact with the team of the post, but I don't think that Mr. Nemeth will give me COA or something like this... maybe if I can achieve it, to be the chosen one for the next design... Honestly, I have no clue how to proof his signature. I just asked him after the meeting and was totally happy, because I have the hopes to finance a part of my tuition fees...
Regarding the first-day-stamps I will call my contact at the "sales and consulting shop of the philately" tomorrow - I hope she can verify somehow, that she made the stamps for me in the headquarter.
I am really pissed because of this because I am a legit guy and put much effort into all of this to create something really beautiful... I also find the way kermi85 wrote really mean and offending and it seems he doesn't know much about the crypto stamp in general. Fact is there are manual stamped versions and laser engraved ones...
