Hi everyone,
First of all, I can already imagine the trollish/otherwise unwarranted replies. Keep them coming.
I'll explain exactly what I'm talking about, and how an argument against mine does not make sense.
As soon as I joined the forums I got into melting scrap silver. With that and a bunch of silver shot II made a few [terribly ugly] ingots. There is a significant difference in melting points of silver and alloys in 925 silver (usually copper). Thus, I thought I could melt this 925 silver (and A LOT of shot) into .999 fine silver. So, I posted the three ingots and it didn't take long for someone to PM me saying they were interested (I'll leave their name anonymous), and the sale was made. The buyer thanked me and seemed very happy with the deal, but about 3 weeks later I got a message saying: "bad news: I did an assay of the silver and it wasn't pure" (in-fact, he mentioned actual percentage values-which would have been physically impossible. He said he wanted his money back. First I asked to see a receipt for the assay. He could not produce one. Then I sent him a bunch of 90% silver coins to compensate for this "discrepancy". In the end, he ended up with a significant amount of silver-definitely more than he originally payed for. But no he said, its a matter of "purity". He said that the ingots I sent him were worthless because their silver content was not the same as what the stamp on them said. Uhhh…I hand-hammered those numbers/digits all crooked-ass. Furthermore, NO reputable dealer would buy silver that was hand-stamped, they only buy from recognized mints. And finally, had he ever heard of "melt value"? Because the value of the silver he had ultimately received from me was far higher than the price he originally paid me in bitcoins. Feel free to look in past threads if you want. I am very over the issue.
Anyways, I am trying to see what kind of interest this would gain. Below is my work. I know a guy who said he would make a metal hand-hammer stamp for the bitcoin logo. Would you buy that?
