My items are back up!

Unfortunately all my museum items have to be reentered. Sad I made a simple mistake, and when I tried to restore from a backup, I discovered that my site backups weren't happening.  Bloody Magento!

I think the site broke... I wanted to buy 10 or 20, but it doesn't show the items.

I'm having a few site issues.  I'll message you once the item is availble to buy off the site again.

Hey Dob, I'm curious how long it takes to ship to the US? It's been 9 days, just getting a little nervous is all.

Hope your doing well.

PS: here's a bump for you  Tongue

Cheers for the bump Smiley

Keep in mind that I'm in regional Australia and aparrently I live a million light years from the nearest capitol city and multiple universes away from other countries Tongue

I'm told that it takes about 9-15 working days (on the Aus Post site)

PM me in you don't have it by the end of the week.

and thanks for the compliments guys Smiley  I think they are a really cute coin and I hope you enjoy them!

I've also been designing some coins for ogNasty, if you like my 1g coin I think I did a better job on his!

Hello, I want to buy 100, but when I get to the BitPay invoice, the total is 2.212 BTC. That's more than the website said the grand total would be.

I'm going to go ahead and pay that, but I would really appreciate a refund for the difference.

I remember the Grand total was under 2 BTC. I can't remember exactly what though. 1.97... seems to ring a bell...

Anyways, please get back to me.

This is an issue I haven't figured out what to do with yet.

The website price uses mt gox (current price is $145), but the payment system through bitpay uses coinbase (current price is 145).

Hey guys, only 654 LEFT!

These have sold quite well.  I've only got just over half of the original minting left. This is LIMITED EDITION and this series WILL NEVER BE PRINTED AGAIN.

Once I've sold all 1000 I will use the money to create a different coin.

So...get in while you still can!

I don't know the technical details that well myself, but it has to do with the way the blockchain works. The private key can be sold or traded or even shared, but funds from block #1 can never be spent.

Finally, the address has been used as a hub for appreciative bitcoiners to send donations to the address, despite it not being controllable. Smiley

This thread was started on my birthday...not bad!

The significance of the BTC address printed on the back of these coins is that it is guaranteed to be the first bitcoin address ever created, and as such, that BTC address claims the firstbits of "1", the rarest firstbits that can be acquired:

http://blockchain.info/fb/1

It also shows that satoshi did not plan entirely to make a quick buck off of Bitcoin, as he did not code the genesis block address to let him access the 50 coins mined.

Until I take a picture, you could use the image made from the 1st 1g Silver round thread.  That'll give you a better idea of dimensions.

SOLD OUT

In the tradition of Mjbmonetarymetals' 1 gram .999 fine silver "bitcoin" design rounds I've created my own 1 gram silver coin.

I present to you, my 1 gram silver round that I call, THE GENESIS BLOCK!

It's to commemorate the first Bitcoin block mined by Satoshi on the 3rd of January 2009.  The Bitcoin address on the back is the address it was paid into, the most significant event in Bitcoin History!

The quality of these coins is just fantastic!  The mint I used did a very very good job indeed!




I'm releasing this to coincide with the opening of The Bitcoin Museum

Prices...
Please note that the BTC price displayed and the price at checkout may be a little different.  This is because I use a Gox Plugin to convert display prices, and bitpay uses Coinbase as their sales price.
Pay with BITPAY, Your MtGox Account or PAYPAL

The coins can be purchased here.
Postage is $6 flat rate International.  Parcels will be sent Standard post.

Quote from:
This was won by dnaleor
Now, for a competition...
The first person to post here the significance of the bitcoin address on the 2nd side I'll send you a coin for free!
