Well, I have, finally, received my package and made a few pictures, which will be posted underneath this post. The coins itself are the shiniest coins I have ever seen. Even my "Cold Hard Cash"-coins from NewLiberty, can't match the shininess of these coins. It's amazing! They feel really good and I can't wait to fund them, which I will do once I have some BTC to fund them with.

Serp, you send me three coins, did you know that? I only ordered two. Do you want me to pay for the third one?

Picture time!



Full album (including the pictures of my new beautiful Sterling Silver Bitcoin Lapel Pin) can be found on Imgur.

I'd buy coins with 0.05 and 0.1 denominations Smiley
P.S Love the design Smiley

Thanks! Smiley

Many thanks. I ended up installing Ubuntu 14.04 and it worked without a hitch. I will add some pics. These are nice looking coins for a very affordable price. The case and black ring is a nice touch.

Are you working on other denominations? These would be great for 1/10 btc coins.

Great, glad you got it working.  I'll need to look into older ubuntu installations to get those instructions more clear.

I'm in a constant state of considering lower denominations.  Hopefully at some point I'll have them.

Thanks, I am almost there. I now get permission denied when executing lines 12, 15, 18, 21, and 24. It completes the program but nothing is in the cache folder.

The only thing it needs to write to is the cache directory.  So maybe that didn't get writeable permission? or you are running it from a different user than you unzipped it from?

Try going into the serpcoin directory and typing:
Code:
chmod 777 cache

Then try running again.

I am having trouble getting the python script to run in ubuntu 13.04. I keep getting permission denied errors or it simply freezes on generating keys. Any ideas? Is there a html or windows version?

Hey Pistachio,

The freezes are usually because the ecda libs aren't installed for python.  I'm not sure on that version of ubuntu but you can try the following:

First try the following:
Code:
sudo apt-get install python-ecdsa

If that does not work then it must not be in the repositories in that version of ubuntu so try the following:
Code:
sudo apt-get install python-pip
sudo pip install ecdsa

If that doesn't work then try the following:
Code:
sudo apt-get install python-setuptools
sudo easy_install pip
sudo pip install ecdsa

Once you get that installed then just go into the serpcoin directory and type ./run.sh

If that does not work for you send me a message with the errors you are getting and we'll try to work it out.

Can I buy two coins? That's 0.07BTC including shipment to The Netherlands, correct? Or could you put the Silver Pin and the coins together?

I can put them together Smiley
I'll send you a message.

are you also selling them in airtites?

I think they come with them. I had not heard of serpcoins until I saw a few on ebay and started to search the forum. Just placed an order last night, will post some pics when they come in.

Yes, a set comes with the coin, an air-tite (with black insert), and the hologram.  And I always send extra holograms because they are easy to mess up with the security release they have.

Woops!  Wish we'd worked that out better.  Hope it all worked out.
It worked out just fine! I told them the content was worth 18 euro x)
