?? Any updates?

I was more referencing the likelihood of similar skeptics in 1935.  And how if everyone had listened, we would have lost out on the last 75+ years of research into one of the foundations of Quantum Mechanics.

I feel like with enough effort I could find a newspaper giving this exact quote in 1935 over the original postulate.

Not only is Bitcoin revolutionizing the financial industry, but Quantum Mechanics as well?! Nice.
 
Both states exist simultaneously until observed.  Unless your more of a Many-Worlds interpretation kind of person.
I'll have to reread Cosmic Banditos and get back to you..

Brief outline of my order with Nolacoin:

1/25/14   - PMed arashd with a couple questions prior to order. Quick detailed response same day.
1/26/14   - Placed my order via his website - automated invoice emailed immediately with customer service contact numbers.
1/27/14   - Email received with tracking information
1/31/14   - UPS tried delivering the package, but no one was home to sign for it..
2/3/14    - Package received!  Checked blockchain, each coin funded with .01 as described
2/4/14    - PM sent, arashd had them fully funded within hours.

2/11/14  - Finally made it home myself(out of town working).   

I'm impressed on all fronts.   The coins are amazing.   You go pretty indepth about your laser system and I can see why. 

To avoid having to register with each state independently (and the additional due diligence/regulation that a small company often can't support) what would a "KYC Service" or "Provider" do to Mike's situation?

If FinCEN's goal in this scenario is a honest straight forward attempt to enforce Know Your Customer, what if a larger exchange or service provider type organization could take on that responsibility?  Coinbase for example, already registered in all 50 states, providing apparently adequate KYC and due diligence.    If they stepped in as a "KYC Provider" could my transaction, from CB verified account/wallet, sent directly to Cassascius, not be accompanied by an email with my registered shipping address and proof of identity?

Unfortunately this borders on adding a middleman, potential fees for said service ect.  I do think it would allow a number of smaller niche companies to operate by passing most of the KYC responsibility onto someone else.   I wouldn't mind seeing a well made browser wallet offer this.

I doubt a wallet or service like this would be necessary in most situations, but I do see occasions when both buyer and seller would benefit.

Good news. Excited to see the new coins!

Had the same idea a couple weeks ago and went over AMD's past couple quarterly financials.  Could not get a real clear picture as to what portion of their revenue/business is directly related to the popular mining GPU lines.  Someone with a little more experience with AMD records might have a better idea.

 While I do think it is significant enough to increase their numbers for Q4, I don't think it will be as influential as it would for an actual card manufacturer(HIS, MSI, Saphire ect.) Unfortunately the couple I've researched are private companies or part of large foreign holding groups...

Love the design and look of your coins. Any updates on the other denominations?

Also, what are yours plans for the "Goldine" Titan One once the silver edition is out?

From the Casascius Bitcoin Analyzer, 1799 coins from 2011 are series 2.  Leaving 4567 from 2011 as series 1.
Meaning if this is accurate s2 is substantially more rare for a 2011 coin.

Those values do include all denominations of coins, not just 1BTC.   

The 2012/2013 charts give a similar ratio for s1/s2. 
 
Though I don't recall having seen a 1BTC s1 for these years in person..

I was somewhat considering using Coinbase, can you be a little more specific as to any issues you have had with them?

They seem to be a simple option for setting up bitcoin merchant accounts..
