Here is mine in Titanium white   

Thanks HB!
Great work & perfectly polished
Pics don't do it justice

  

Hi,

I have #4 1 LTC Bar for the relief auction / fund; homage to the Lealana 1 LTC coin.
Bar is 3.6 OZT .999 FS. Funded with 1 LTC.

See this thread for more info:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5211488.msg53404686#msg53404686

Did not have time to make pics of bar #4, so here is an example:



Hope this helps a bit. Can make pics before auction.

Thx,

Clay

Yes, top of mind for future projects.
Current work would be difficult.

It does sound like a lot of work.

Trust is fragile, think the closest a maker can get to being trustworthy is by doxxing oneself.

Doxxed myself to some on this forum (to be findable / accountable to some extent for what I make), but not publicly.

But this has risks for the maker; talking about nutjobs, alamjobs or other nutters at your doorstep.

If I may ask, how did this affect you?
(sorry if this is out of bounds)

The 'service' would consist of two or three parties like you suggested.
It's like asking Ballet to make the keys for your coins (believe they do BIP38 with two different entities under the Ballet umbrella).

Yes, as a maker. No coins though; handmade (funded / unfunded) silver objects.

The trust would be towards the other parties (as a service).

Thank you,

Either this, or the customer DIY collectible route (or doing literally everything).

Part of me would like to see this 'as a service'. Which would have logistical and practical issues (shipping, stickers, etc).
Am a small fry, but would be nice to focus on (silver)work instead of doing everything.

Clay

With you on this, if I can help out.

Situation is bad for collectors, makers and associated artist(s).

Clay

Congratulations on this milestone.
Indeed; hard work, effort and love (next to the blood, sweat and tears).

If there is an Itokawa left, please reserve one for me. Buy or trade.
Looking forward to a road-trip and will pick up personally (+ drink a beer or two).

Thanks for showing the progress on the Itokawa's my friend.
Much appreciated.

Thank you for hosting this sir!
Most grateful

Although it might not be necessary, this also seems a bit of a tradition, if I think about my previous auctions.
So, would like to do this raffle of AP2 as a thank you & gesture to all 21 people who made a bid.

Hope to get this done next weekend, please check next Sunday.

Hi Committed3d,

Please check your mail (spam folder?). I replied to your mail. Will pm you here as well.
All other packages have been shipped.

Regards,

Clay

My apologies for the chaos.

I'll honor my word and will try to get someone else to host a raffle for AP #2
Feedback on my suggestion(s) / approach are welcome.

All Mood Mask from the auction seem to have found their new owners, due to the time difference, will have it sorted (and shipped) tomorrow.

I don't have the time to make a list of all people who made a bid, but can do so this weekend and will reach out to a trustworthy host for the auction.
If you made a bid, please keep posted.

Hope this helps (and works for the people who feel bummed),

Clay

Thank you, means a lot.

Hi,

After some thoughts, I can propose the following to try to take away the disappointment created with the bidding format.

I cannot give away Mood Masks, those are not mine to give away.
I can, however, offer up my own AP.

 

I have to think this through and appreciate feedback from each bidder / winner on how to approach this:

- Would it ease the disappointment if I were to ask someone else to hold a raffle for this AP?
- Everyone who made a bid (also winners), gets a raffle ticket (just one ticket, no cost). 
- Price of 0.01 BTC for the winner, proceedings go to a yet to be determined charity. (or no charity and no cost?)
- Shipping is on me, as is the cost for arranging the raffle.
- I won't make another silver AP, but will make an extra special (alloy) for myself.

I hope this is a good gesture, it's the least I can do, can arrange and feel comfortable with.
Again, feedback or suggestions to this solution would be appreciated.

Clay

Am sorry I made this impression. 
I just wanted to make these...

'Seller determined that the entire auction should be extended by 5 minutes irrelevant of which number was last bid on. As there were bids that came in for other items besides #6 in those last 5 minutes, it automatically extended the auction on all items. That’s my understanding'

This is correct. Again, sorry I chose this format.

I did not expect this kind of attention or bidding. I truly did not.
Knew the end result of eighteen months hard work is pretty awesome. But this...
I was adamant as doing as much of the entire process myself, this is a lesson.

Am currently working, so sorry if this is somewhat short response now.
Obviously, I cannot change how things went or the sour feeling some of you have.
I will think about this and see how I can do a bit about the sour feeling in the future.

That's okay with me.

Still sticking with #17?

If others want to do the same, please do so via PM, then PM me.

Thx.

Result

Winning bids:






What now?

I will contact the winners a.s.a.p. via PM.
Believe all buyers will receive something special, which will fit nicely in their collection.

The Format shitshow

Okay, I will traverse each post and see what I can do, I am not promising Mood Masks to people who feel dicked, but I feel responsible.
Feedback is welcome, I am human and can learn from my mistakes. So, will see if I can make this somewhat better for  the people who noted their disappointment (in the future, as a small IOU).

What next?

The plated series will consist of seven gold plated, seven white rhodium & seven black rhodium plated Satoshi Mood Masks.
These will be auctioned, no reservations, no Twitter sale (though the personal contact was great). Best I ask Scarce City...
I think we will keep it at two series and some specials, another series would only water down the uniqueness.

 

Thank you, forum guests and members, people who supported this.

All I can do as a return on your investment, is try to surpass this creation with another.

Clay

Thought I saw that, but hey...
