Sorry you lost your brother

Thank-you Gatorelf. And to others who sent their condolences. I did want to call attention and special thanks to wheelz1200. Wheelz helped me early on when I was trying to track down Tommy's virtual currencies. He unflinchingly gave me advice that pointed me in a proper direction. It was not that long after my chats with Wheelz that I found one of Tommy's primary stashes on one of the exchanges. So again, I thank you wheelz1200.

And now to wrap up this thread: I received an offer on the 2013 Casascius 1 BTC gilt silver MS 66 1Ag5wGUw depicted in my first posting, that I have accepted from interested buyer, and therefore this item can be considered *sold* at this point in time.

And I thank you for your consideration.

Locking this topic on the way out.

Confirming that coin sold and paid for via escrow.

Coin has been verified as same coin in OP and has been authenticated Cheesy

Thank you

We get it, but you're really not making it easy to forget the follow with your repeated mentions of loss lacking any sensitivity. Let this thread run please without derailing. This is a cheerful place.

I am not here just spamming. I have a formal bid on the item, it was my way of letting my presence known.

Now stop spamming this thread with your nonsense claims trying to spin my light-hearted fun, instead of the sinister thing you are trying to spin it into.

I was making fun of the analysis of the OPs legitimacy. I never said any jokes about...what you said. How can you even come to that conclusion?

I spoke/chatted with "Hashmap" (Tommy's brother) on a different platform shortly after his brother passed as he wanted some info on tracking blockchain wallets etc.

I never spoke/chatted again with him until I sent a PM last night asking him if he could recall his:

1. Username on the other platform we spoke on
2. Name of the platform and channel we chatted in
2. Things specifically mentioned a year ago (What we talked about)

So, that said, EVERYTHING matched 100%. I am positive this is Tommy's brother, and that said, he's not a "hard core Bitcoiner", like most of us - he's just doing his best to help his brother's family out by selling some items.

Thank you.

Honestly, I think yeosaga was attempting to be humorous as he added the "/s" at the end of his post.

I think when someone is trying to settle the Estate of their brother, there is no room for humor or insensitivity, especially from someone who is new and may have purchased an old account.

thanks!

How is making a joke about another user thinking this is a photoshop insensitive to the estate? Huh

Writing:

Blatant photoshop.

Beware of this scam!

Derails the thread with your nonsense for starters.

To be very blunt: The person came here to try and sell his dead brothers items - you tell me if you don't think its insensitive to post crap like that?

If you dont think so, then there are bigger personal issues you need to look at.

I'd like to end this portion of the back and forth and let the OP focus on doing what he needs to in order to get his family's estate in order, which is hard enough to do without jokers posting junk.

thanks!

Honestly, I think the easiest way to know is wait for a confirmation post from MJ?

I mean we can play the “this is photoshopped” game forever... a post from MJ confirming he has talked to hashmap, I would think, would suffice to give enough validity to know it’s not a scam attempt.

He did on page 1. OP said he was using mj as escrow and mj confirmed, as long as that's followed everyone should be safe to transact in the deal with the op.

100% agree, just hoped to provide some clarity. Not like I'm voucing for the guy. It was a poor choice to make, but I don't think he was *actually* saying the photo was shopped.

It looks good but can also be photoshopped..a simple paper with username and date scribbled and the coin. That simple

Um. Ok, but isn't it too late for this? I mean, if I had done that in the original post, maybe that would have some validity. But now that the image of the collectible is in my first post in this thread couldn't anybody, me included, just take that image and photoshop a "paper with username and date scribbled" next to or on top of the image?

I don't mean to be obtuse or oppositional, but I must be missing something. I am just not seeing how that would validate my claim of ownership.

But sure, I can do this
(hmm now Imgur inline images are suddenly showing for this post. go figure):

Taking a closer look at the photo, I would testify with 99% probability that this is no photoshop work.
I applied a few filters, but even with just some change in contrast there and a close-up look at the paper and shadows etc. there is no sign whatsoever for photo manipulation.

Of course, this still doesn't mean that this sale couldn't be still malicious, but I would be very very certain, that the coin is indeed in the possession of hashmap.

Just my 101 satoshis, since I couldn't help myself. Wink

2) Not intended to sound crass, but can you prove your relationship or ownership of the coin in question? Scams are very prevalent here, so promptly proving otherwise goes a long way toward building trust. Simple name and date handwritten next to the coin is a start.

dazedfool, after I read your post and thought about it some more, I was scratching my head on what information (other than name and date that you suggested) that I could provide that prove "relationship or ownership of the coin," and I am having a hard time coming up with something definitive. It seems that the only thing that would really prove it would be for me to show you the coin in person. The next best thing -- once I ship to minerjones that he states to you or whoever wants "proof", that he received the coin.

Another thing I thought of was that if I took a picture as I compose this post reply and hold up the coin, maybe that proves something. Though again, seeing the coin in person or minerjones vouching seems the best to me.

So here's the picture of me posting this reply and holding up the coin in front of my screen... (as I stated before images from Imgur are not showing inline in my posts at the moment so you have to follow the link)

Hi,

If not, I suggest you retract your post.

2. No biggie. I think somebody (wheelz1200 or minerjones) recommended that to me and I forgot to do it. I will post that in a separate posting after this.

I came up with an even better (at least seemingly to me) method to "prove your relationship or ownership of the coin" as dazedfool suggested, but for some reason the image posting in bitcointalk has suddenly stopped working for me. Not sure why, as I was posting images from Imgur with no problems before today. Anyway, I have to go do something for a few hours will try to get back and post something later today.

Just upload to imgur and paste link. That is enough..we can display for you

Again sorry for your loss, drove up to his neck of the woods one day but we ending up not meeting up. Talked over the phone a bunch and he was genuinely a cool guy. This is definately the right place to sell them, hopefully it will help out a little. Will be on the lookout for some of the other coins you have as well.

Hello, I am helping to settle the Estate of my brother TommyBitcoin https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/tommybitcoin-802035

Tommy was an avid Bitcoin fan and aficionado, early crypto-currency adopter, and collector of physical coin. May his soul RIP. He was doing what he loved to do best right up until the end- his last active status was a few minutes before he passed.

I have one of his 2013 Casascius 1 BTC for sale. minerjones has agreed to be the distributor/escrow for this sale.

I have his other Casascius, Lealana, BTCC, Cryptolator, Titan, and Sol Noctis coins which I will put up for sale eventually. But for now, to start off with I am offering the one coin listed in the subject.

Interested buyers should contact me with offers at my hashmap77 Gmail address located in my profile: https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/hashmap-1899861.

And I thank you for your consideration.

Here are photos of the item:
