Hey guys

while I do not own any loaded 1HC pieces, I would say that I do not believe MCH initial intent was to screw people, but that is unfortunately what has happened.

A while back I began working on a lookup utility for 1HC pieces for the website on a verbal agreement. I did not charge anything up front because we had a solid trading history. When I presented a working model to him he ignored my post. I later asked him in one of his posts here to check his messages, he acknowledged but then didn't get back to me on the date he indicated he would. I haven't heard for him for almost a year now. Back in Sept my Mom had a medical emergency and I've just recently been able to spend some time here again.

So I would advise to use your best instincts based on that information. I am preparing to post a negative trust based on not being paid for my work.

Was just chatting with a long time collector about scams in this space. One consistent thing I’ve found is most red marked makers have some level of nefarious intentions from the get. I saw red flags immediately w this fuck face as did some other longer tenured collectors. In part I love how many good hearted people collect here, but on the other hand I would stop giving makers the benefit of doubt. I’m a scenically wired glass half empty type after just what I’ve experienced in life and due to my trade. In any type of finance you HAVE to be. Question everything, do your homework 10x over and when it doubt, get rid of the doubt. It’s that simple.

I echo DaveF, as I often find myself doing. Also per usual my “two” are going to be less eloquently said. Leaving these coins funded is absolutely fuckn insane and outright dumb. Whats the upside in doing so?! You could be slimy, have one of the equally slimy fucks at PCGS or NGC slab, grade and “authenticate” and list at an auction house. Upcoming sale in June at heritage for ex- https://coins.ha.com/itm/cryptocurrency/1hodlclub-partially-gilt-silver-unloaded-unfunded-proof-00025-bitcoin-btc-ingot-2021-2022-pr69-ultra-cameo-ngc-/p/3131-15010.s?ic4=ListView-Thumbnail-071515 (NGC certification https://www.ngccoin.com/certlookup/8243207-001/69/ ) I will be notifying heritage ). But ya better hurry because it’s only a matter of time before the auction houses shut this coin sector out thanks to auctions like this (yes this is “unfunded”, but has been key’d and could easily be funded by an unsuspecting buyer at the worlds largest online auction house) and two it’s still baffling NO ONE here knows who’s authenticating at NGC or PCGS. I’ve said the last two sentences enough times to be half parrot 🦜 at this point. Both Stacks and Heritage I believe have sold a MrHodl items and both have sold a number of red trusted collectibles.. ticking time bombs. These coin premiums are mostly lost. Peel, safeguard your precious corn, and enjoy a shiny metal thingy (like I do my Titan PK coin I peeled. Regardless of the maker being a twat, I can still enjoy the beauty of the coin (much like I do when I listen to “ignition remix” by R Kelly).

Bitcointalk is the father of physical bitcoins and we should always be setting the standard here. Not contributing in the opposite direction.
