Topic: [SDC] ShadowCash | Welcome to the UMBRA - page 197. (Read 1289709 times)

Here's a trick for authenticating a coin like this which is a variation on something the CIA uses: you can put a recess in the coin and engrave the private key in the recess. Then you need 2 or 3 different colors of sealing wax. Melt them together, mix a little but not too well, and pour in the recess over the key. What you'll get is a colored pattern impossible to reproduce. Then take a picture of the coin with its serial number and the wax pattern and post it on a site. Someone can enter the serial number and see the picture of the coin and that the wax pattern on the site matches what they see before accepting it.

I will most definitely buy a few of the shadowcash ones, so you can put any amount i want on them?

Great work guys, things seem to be moving along nicely now.  

Sorry but these are not very appealing

Here are some pictures of my coins.  These were taken from a cell phone and not with a high quality camera so they are not the best, and do the coins no justice.  I figured its better to at least have these up until I can get some better pictures posted.  Some of the pictures are upside down.  If you have additional questions, please feel free to PM me.

I’m proud to announce the sale of my first series of physical coins…..Genesis Coin
I have chosen ShadowCash to be part of the first series of my physical coin line
-   The idea: I was looking for physical coins, other than the more well known coins (i.e. Bitcoin, Litecoin, etc.) and saw that there weren’t many choices out there if any at all. There are many companies minting physical Bitcoins and I did not want to add just another choice for people. So I went out and created a brand new line of coins to compliment the current market.  So what I am bringing to the market is a line of coins, which I call Genesis Coin, which in my first series of coins will represent 12 different coins with a total production run of 300. 

-   Coins and mintage:  As I’ve stated there are a total of 300 coins in Series 1 of my line spread across 12 different crypto coins, as follows (Coin and total amount minted):
Bitcoin - 10
Litecoin - 10
Dogecoin – 10
Coin2 – 30
Hyper – 30
Peercoin – 30
Namecoin – 30
ShadowCash – 30
DNotes – 30
Darkcoin – 30
Reddcoin – 30
Clams – 30
-   Coin Design: Because of the large cost to minting a short run of coins, each coin will have the same generic design.  The design on side one – will have the word Genesis right in the middle, with a circle surrounding the word.  On top of Genesis will be six dates and below will be six dates.  Each one of those dates corresponds to the genesis block creation date for each one of the 12 coins in series one.  On the outside rim will be the names of all 12 coins represented.  On the bottom right will be the date 2015 to correspond to the mint date.  Opposite on the left side will be a serialized engraving of the number coin it is.  And on the bottom center will be the coin’s name that it is engraved into the coin.  On side 2 will be a full address on the top rim that will be specific to the coin that is engraved on side one.  In the center will be a security sticker in a recessed area that will cover the printout of the full security key that pairs with the address engraved above it.  The security sticker has my companys name that lights up under UV lighting. The coin is 1.5” in diameter and is made from copper/brass alloy.  Each coin will be serialized 1-10 or 1-30 depending on which coin you get.  Every coin serialized 1-10 will be gold plated (for all 12 coins), and every coin serialized 11-30 will be silver plated (for the 9 coins excluding; Bitcoin, Litecoin, and Dogecoin as they only have 10 each produced).  There will be black accents throughout the coin for contrast from the silver or gold plating.  So yes there are only ‘10’ Genesis Series 1 Bitcoins that will be produced.  Again I’m looking to compliment the current market.
-   THE TWIST……
-   Distribution:  So as an avid collector of many things throughout my life, I wanted to change the current distribution method of attaining these coins.  As a kid I grew up collecting sports cards, buying many, many packs of cards to try to get the cards/players that I wanted.  So what I have chosen to do was to employ the same type of distribution method.  For every coin serialized 1-15 and 26-30 will be packaged up into “packs” and for the coins serialized 16-25 they will be available for direct sale.  Each coin headed into packs, has been put into a non-see through white package and a Genesis sticker placed on the front of the package,  everyone of them packaged the same.  So what that means is that the Bitcoin, Litecoin and Dogecoins are only attainable via buying a pack and landing the coin.  The other coins will each have 10 available for sale and the other 20 placed into packs as well.  So for Series one there will be 85 coins directly for sale and 210 “packs” available for sale.  That leaves 5 unaccounted for; 1 I will be shipping off a pack to a member here at BCT, Elianite, for his review.  It will be a non premium coin (coins serialized only to 10).  The other 4 I am keeping for my own collection, again none of them are premium coins (Bitcoin, Litecoin, etc.).  I will be keeping 1 of each- Coin2, Hyper, Darkcoin, and Reddcoin.  Every coin individually for sale and in the packs will be placed in a plastic coin capsule.
-   Cost: $15 per individual coin or pack.
-   Payment:  I will ONLY accept Bitcoin as of this time.  I will not accept Paypal under any circumstance, (learned the hard way they don’t like anything to do with digital currencies).  Hopefully in the near future I will accept other coins including yours, but not as of now.
-   Preorder: None.  Coins are minted, in hand, packaged and ready to ship.
-   Shipping:  I will be shipping from The United States in New Jersey.  I will be using USPS for all sales.  For shipping within the lower 48 states, tracked shipping will be $6, and most international shipping will be $16 using tracked registered USPS mail (please pm me with the country you would like them shipped to, to confirm).  Those quotes are for 1 coin or pack.  For multiple coins or packs please pm me for a quote.  I will be making shipments every Wednesday and Saturday.
-   Escrow: Of Course, We can discuss who will provide escrow services, but ultimately I will have to approve and will only utilize a reputable escrow service from a member here on bitcointalk who has provided multiple transactions without issues (i.e. OGNasty).
-   Terms of Service:  All sales are final and before purchasing understand this.  As with any coins that have been made, there is a possibility of counterfeits that pop up.  I cannot be responsible for anyone purchasing Genesis coins from anyone other than myself, unless I approve them as a reseller. 
-   Disclaimer: There are a couple of known manufacturing errors that were discovered after receipt and my verification process:
o   3 coins (Bitcoin ser #2, Coin2 ser #2 and Peercoin ser #9) have the serial number and their name engraved upside down
o   All Shadowcash coins ser# 1-30 have been engraved with the name Shadowcoin instead of ShadowCash

I told myself, for my series #1, if there are any discrepancies (other than address) that are minted wrong that I will be keeping them as is.  I wanted a true representation of the first set of my coins.  With my future series, these will be sent back for rework prior to release.  It was more than I thought would come out, but it is what it is, and I’m sticking with the true first mint as is.

****Please be vigilant against posts claiming to be me, wheelz1200, with different user names.  Don’t fall for the silly wheelz120O or whee1z1200.  Please pm me if you would like to verify before purchasing, do not reply to any of these fakes.  I cannot refund anyone who has sent payment to a fake account.  I would like to ask the community as well, to report any of these attempts to myself via this post as well as any administrator.

Please make payment to this address and this address only. I will never ask you via pm to pay to another address.  If I need to change address payments I will broadcast that here on this post, Bitcoin address for payment: 14tjZChqkvuufWZfUJTZndkrxwEB4f45QH

If you have any questions feel free to PM me as I wont be able to get to every thread and might miss your question.  Thank you

Hello furure lol

SDCOIN thanx for the update!

I'm feeling very hopeful and confident about the future of shadowCash, a currency that actually has a dedicated team of developers working on it. A very deep and talented development team at that.

I'm also glad that all the growth of this coin has been naturally occurring rather than artificial pumps by pump groups.

The order book keeps getting better and better.

Not that many projects with a similar buy side demand waiting for some price action.

New Shadow PR Campaign Started!

After the success of our #FightForPrivacy campaign on Thunderclap our PR team has been looking for new ways to generate more exposure for the Shadow project. With the upcoming release of ShadowMarket, we believe now is a good time to start making some noise and let the world know about the anonymous economy we’re building.

Last week, we hired a Bitcoin PR firm (bitcoinprbuzz.com) and used one of their premium press release services to send out our first press release. Like us, they are seasoned cryptocurrency enthusiasts and have over two years of experience in Bitcoin marketing specifically. They now share our mission to spread the word about our revolutionary Shadow project to individuals and businesses worldwide. With their help, we aim to achieve the following results:

- Google News coverage.
- Yahoo Finance coverage.
- Publish our press release at 200 online news outlets and as many Bitcoin news websites as possible.
- Tweet our press release to 40 000+ highly-targeted Bitcoin Twitter followers.
- Syndicate our press release through 1 000+ online RSS feed monitoring and publishing services.
- Distribute our press release to every mainstream global news distribution service (Associated Press, Lexis Nexis, Factiva, Comtex, ProQuest, Market Watch, Gale, Thomson West and Acquire Media).
- Submit our press release to 40 000+ relevant media outlets (newspapers, TV, radio, magazines, bloggers).
- Publication on at least 5 top tier media outlets such as Yahoo Finance, Business Journal, Chicago Tribune, San Fransisco Chronicle, CNBC, Bloomberg Businessweek, Wall Street Journal.
- 15 000+ views on our promotional video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jPcwAToJYtY).
- 5 000+ unique visitors per month on aboutshadow.com

Beyond all of the above, we may also be published on Bloomberg Businessweek, The Wall Street Journal, Reuters, Bitcoin Magazine, CoinDesk, and many more outlets online. Please keep in mind that it is up to these outlets whether or not they publish our press release — we will try our very best, but unfortunately we cannot guarantee publication on all of these platforms.

Is there a time frame for the shadow market?

The strangest thing just happened! I found myself taking a turbolift to a hotel penthouse on the 200th floor, walked into my room and was greeted by a robot butler, and ordered two bottles of Dom Perignon from room service through my phone wallet, paid 0.5 SDC total. Now I just woke up at my desk.

Welcome aboard!
