It's been super busy around here at the Bitcoin Penny Co., and it all revolves around our new Bitcoin Penny™ Physical Bitcoin: MANHOLE COVER EDITION!
Here are a few quick pics from the foundry of the freshly poured and drilled prototype which is now in our possession and ready for final assembly. Once the 5" copper plates that secure the privkeys onto the reverse side are returned from the engraver, then our prototype will be assembled and 100% complete!
In the meantime, we are absolutely thrilled with the quality of these custom manhole covers! Just completely over the moon with smiles!
The foundry estimates another 3 weeks until the next batch of manhole covers is poured, drilled, and ready for shipping, so our wonderful customers will have to wait a bit longer to bid in our first auction for one of these ridiculously EPIC physical bitcoins!
Oh, and the prototype weighs under 49 pounds, so we're working on a magnetic wall mount.

Chris

I fucking love you Chris - you are an evil James Bond super bad guy of the bitcoin world!
LMAO Thank you for the kind words, TMAN! (I love you too.)

Would be cool if there were pics of it being poured
I've asked if they can get a quick shot of it being poured, and my contact says that he'll see what he can do. (Fingers cross'd.)
In the meantime, here's a random production photo that he sent to me yesterday.

UPDATE: Today, the foundry announced that the mold and special tooling/machining is now complete! We're scheduled to start pouring the first prototype of our Bitcoin Penny™ MANHOLE COVER EDITION Physical Bitcoin art pieces in the next few days (Friday afternoon or Monday morning)! Then it's on the way to me for final QC inspection, assembly, and all kinds of EPIC fun!

I've been watching this and can't wait to see the final item when complete! Now that you're offering to hand deliver them, I don't see the final pre-order lasting long.
Put me down for a few.
Are you sure??
You do realize that these are full sized manhole covers and just a regular coin??
LOL I'm pretty sure he was joking. Nobody has the extra space for "a few" of these XL art pieces!
Yeaaa...it's getting near! Looking forward to this.
Time to find that perfect spot in the garden, for this beast.

That's such a great spot for one of these! All that natural patina and weathering will look totally LEGIT!
Oh, and I've offered to hand-deliver all pre-orders within the USA upon request, so let me know if you need a hand carrying it to the garden!

UPDATE: Our custom manhole cover mold (along with the special machining setup) is almost complete! We should be pouring the prototype within the next week, then after some special finishing processes, the prototype will be on its way to my doorstep for a complete QC check!
Super excited to finally see this incredible project become a reality!

This is pretty epic, any plans to install one of these somewhere?
Epic, indeed.
Unfortunately, I believe installing one of these without permission would be illegal. However, I'm all for making a few phone calls. Who knows?Chris, you need to drop one of these in a real manhole and then post about here and watch the race ensue for one of us luck bastards to find it and keep it. It would be as if Banksy actually acknowledged and approved of someone scraping is work off the side of a building. You'd have to tell us that it's out there given the race to beat the local dept. of transportation noticing and replacing it.
This would be the best lore you could attache to one of these fine works of art!
Fun idea, Habby. Unfortunately, I'm afraid that dropping one of these without the city's authorization might result in a race to see how quickly I land my unlucky butt in jail.
By the way, since we originally had planned to pre-sell four (4) of these, then I suppose that we could accept one more pre-purchase, if someone is interested. Just PM me. (My advice? Get one NOW before the price of BTC goes up even more!)
Regards,
Chris
