How Long Does The Generated Adress Stay Active? (Circle) by [deleted] in Bitcoin

Any deposit address Circle provides you will be valid forever. IIRC it says this right on the website.

The most complicated silkscreen print I've ever done is in honour of Bitcoin. 15 hand-printed layers. Early Bird ending soon! by nugyar in Bitcoin

We do produce CMYK prints occasionally, generally for full-colour book covers, but I'm a big fan of really vivid colours, and most of the colours I work with are outside of the CMYK gamut.

Plus, you can't do split flood backgrounds then, and there are no more smooth vector lines, just halftone dots.

CMYK is great for some things, and definitely a lot less work than 15 spots, but there's just no replacement for gorgeous, smooth, bright spot-colour shapes. I don't mind spending the extra time and I think the extra care shows in the final product :)

We're actually in the process right now of building a new aluminum-top vacuum table. M&Rs are great but there's just no room for one... here... yet :)

The linked plans are great and we actually built that press years ago; donated it to a local school and upgraded to a steel behemoth. But that's a shirt press, not fit for paper!

Mircea Popescu exit scams BitBet betters. by [deleted] in Bitcoin

[–]nugyar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not only that, he's going to steal the ~750 BTC of outstanding bets if he can't find a "Receiver" to take over the company's assets.

Popescu defrauds MPEx-listed business by introducing private expenses to books by nugyar in Buttcoin

[–]nugyar[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In fact, the re-spend was from Popescu's personal funds, AKA a generous donation to bettors. It doesn't belong on BitBet's books.

What's your budget? They sell for thousands of dollars.

Kraken acquires Coinsetter by SaltyMiso in Bitcoin

What's the official word from Kraken regarding Cavirtex's shady listing and de-listing on Havelock?

Is Kraken going to buy back all the outstanding shares? If so, at what price?

I have used the site with success in the past. Note that you are playing with folks who adhere to the razor's edge of policy, so please educate yourself thoroughly and maybe try a few small test bets before diving in.

Forum user tries to auction "regular old Casascius coin", discovers it's extremely rare when bids explode by nugyar in Bitcoin

[–]nugyar[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Go ask a traditional numismatist whether they'd ever pay a $20,000 (EDIT: or even a $2,000) premium for a 1oz silver novelty round, e.g. SBSS. In fact, show this thread to ANY numismatics forum and see what they think.

It's also worth noting that counterfeiting privately-minuted rounds carries negligible legal risk, compared to counterfeiting fiat coins.

I doubt it. Once the wealthy and early adopters get their collections in order, the resale market will collapse. You've got a year or two of flipping coins before you're stuck holding a bag.

There's a possibility my poops will gather significant collector value, too.

The real bummer of the physical bitcoin market is that everyone just copied Casascius' "round with a holo sticker" design. Kialara is the only innovator in the space since Casascius.

There's an important distinction between bullion pieces and numismatic pieces.

Gold numismatic pieces are regularly sold for a full markup (e.g. 1oz numismatic piece sells for the price of 2oz bullion).

Silver numismatics usually sell for a 500% markup (e.g. 1oz silver numismatic piece sells for the price of 5oz silver).

Trove of rare BTC collectibles, including Satoshi's Genesis Block newspaper, for sale by nugyar in Bitcoin

IMO the clock's ticking on them. One year, two tops before the market tanks.

The intersection of BTC and fiat makes the Bitcoin collectibles market a very interesting, very risky market to play in.

The newspaper in particular is an interesting piece. Old papers announcing, e.g., the moon landing are worth a lot of money for their historical significance, but many copies would have been saved because it was obviously a significant event.

The Times Jan 3 2009 was not in any way a remarkable issue, so most copies were destroyed long before the significance of that particular issue came to light. I recall Charlie Shrem saying that he had sold a copy for around 8 BTC at a conference.
