Just to clarify, each stage of the Ethereum release has a planned release of 100 numbered sets. The sets are offered first to the purchaser of the numbered set from the previous releases. (Example: If you purchased set 9 of 100 in Stage 1 and 2, then you will have first option to refuse sets 9 of 100 in stage 3, 4 and 5 releases.)

Ethereum Stage 2: Homestead 2" Limited Edition Coins (only 100 made) review:

What #s do you have left? Smiley

Here is the link to the available inventory of the ETH Bars - the Stage 2 coins are the same numbers (sold as complete sets).

http://finitebydesign.net/distribution-tracker-series-7-5%E2%80%B3-ethereum-frontier-ether-bars-2015/

Does that mean 2coins / bar?

If I want one of each gold/silver/bronze does it mean I'll get 6coins with that? Or 3bars + 2coins?

Thanks,

One complete set is $160. This includes 3 5" bars and 3 2" coins. They will all be the same number engraved on the pieces (ex: 75/100) and you would get one of every finish and type (antique gold, antique silver and antique copper).

We will be announcing the second line of Ether bars shortly. This new line is to commemorate stage 2 of the ethereum project "Homestead" - mockups are being rendered. The concept is the same, sets will be made up of 3, 5" bars (1 silver, 1 gold and 1 copper) and numbered as part of the finite set of only 100 (i.e. 1 of 100, 2 of 100, etc.).

Those who made/make a purchase from Stage 1 : Frontier have the first right to refuse the same number in the 3 subsequent series beginning with Homestead. It will be very helpful to me for those who purchased a Frontier set and want to purchase a Homestead set, that you notify me asap via pm or email including the communication from the Frontier purchase substantiating the number(s) you are requesting.

Thank you Smiley

Stage 1 Frontier bars are moving pretty quickly so if you are interested, get your order in before they run out.

I am pleased to announce that we will be moving forward soon with Stage 2 Homestead. Those who purchased specific numbers in the Frontier series will have first right to the same number in the Homestead series so they can add to a complete collection. I will send out an email to notify as more definitive timeline is determined so be on a lookout.

Hi,

I'd like to buy at least one bar but I have a few questions regarding the price.
I'd like to pay in BTC and l live in France, what would the total cost be for 1 bar ? For a set of 3 ?

Thanks in advance,
Seb

I only sell them in sets of 3. Shipping to France is $25 and cost for a set of 3 is $100, so you are looking at $125 total. If you want to pay with BTC, please PM me or reach out to me via the website or email at [email protected].

Planned stage 2, 3 and 4 Ether bars are presently on hold. I still hope and plan to do these at some point but unfortunately the next stage's batch will not occur until more of the Stage 1 inventory can be cleared out to free up resources. Apologies for those anticipating Stage 2 bars, but as I said, I do still plan on running these as soon as possible. Thank you for your patience.

Bad news from my supplier side regarding the custom cases for the 5" bars. They need to be ordered at the same time as the pieces (in the case of custom pieces such as my 5" bars). I can order extras with my next order, but this option will have to wait for the next 5" bar line production (nothing set in stone as of now regarding this).

Alright, what is it going to take to expedite the new series?   Grin

Nothing really, just a little patience as I clear out some of the Ether bar inventory and clear some capital.

Is it worth also making a option for the velvet case option to fit casascius bars .... (I never found a case for those ones)

There would definately be a market for those .... may also help get the FBD velvet case going as well (ie greater volume / leverage with the manufacturer)

If you did .... I will buy one of each of your new bars, and a case for each, plus 5 cases that would fit the casacius bars

You know you want to  Cheesy

Does anyone attach the hologram for "looks" rather than actually loading the bar??
Kind of like the one in the OP.

Yesterday I used a Ethereum address generator to make QR codes and put the holos over the private keys.  I'm not funding them.  I prefer my DIY to look complete with the holos even if I don't fund them.

Do you feel that this adds to the overall value/resale of a coin/bar??
and
Would you pay more a coin if it was assembled properly (unloaded) vs. DIY un-assembled??

Thanks

Personally I prefer a coin or bar that has been assembled.  I collect rather than store btc so I don't need wallets to store btc personally.  I don't think it adds value but just looks better assembled if it came originally as a diy.

I would pay more to have it assembled, since it takes some hassle out of doing it myself.

I know others prefer these as diy, but for me, I may be the minority.

So are these bars somehow loadable with Ether? I am not sure how Ether works anyway so maybe its a stupid question.

Very good question gravitate! Yes, these are loadable. Ether operates similarly to Bitcoin in that it has a private key for an address. Once you load funds to an address, you would simply print out the private key on a 3/4" circle template, cut the circle out, place it in the indented 3/4" area of the bar and finally cover it up with the tamper resistant hologram. To redeem the funds the hologram must be removed to expose the private key which can then be imported into the Ether wallet.

Here is an address / private key generation tool I located from a Google search that could be useful:

And now..... to the loading of the Ether.
Now that we know the maker as a trusted party, will this change votes for having a loaded bar??

Going to stick with the DIY option to avoid any regulatory issues.

And... Now that there are 2 bar releases from f*D,
Any way to maybe start sourcing an "air-tie" case for the excellent bars.
I know there were some made for the silver Unobtanium bars, but these may have been premade for some other silver bars:
http://www.air-tites.com/5-oz-and-10-oz-silver-bar-holders.htm#.VdXQ8Pl3mCo

I think this would be nice, but I personally feel a velvet presentation case is the better option as it can also hold the C of As. Maybe I will start a group buy reservation thread to see what kind of interest there is overall in the cases. I know I will take some for my personal bars...
