Re: [SELL] Original Times Newspaper from 3 January 2009 - quoted in genesis block

That's impressively bonkers.

I remember sniffing around the usual newspaper sites years ago and it was pretty much the only day not available. Even then I was surprised that something relatively obscure at the time was all gobbled up.

The Times should reprint on the sly.

I also contacted a number of these newspaper hoarders back in 2014 and all of them said they wished they had more copies or asked for more because they had gotten many requests. I message Jonny and he told me he'd sell me one for 2 btc around the 1K/btc time, too rich for my blood sadly. But hey I also turned down 1btc cassascuis coins for $50 because I didn't know what btc was at that point. So fuck I suppose.

Would have bought one if you were a core supporter.
I can't risk my bitcoins going to fund those unlimited clowns
Unlimited are simply planning to make bitcoin centrelaized, they want to be those who make the decisions,and they also want to keep using their ASIC boost thing.
You actually support their wallet instead of the community favor.

I openly support the whitepaper and Satohi's design for Bitcoin. What's wrong with that?

Have you read it? satoshi.nakamotoinstitute.org & http://nakamotoinstitute.org/bitcoin/, you should try!


aolley,

Maybe you would sell more product if you weren't so condescending to the people who you are trying to market to.  As one of the few companies that is anti-Segwit, I expect you will fork off onto the ABC/BCC codebase after August 1st?  If so, good riddance. 

Really though if you want full blocks then I don't think what you want is Bitcoin, as I've always been saying, I'll follow the technically sound decisions and follow the design for Bitcoin that was there when I got involved.

Have you read it? satoshi.nakamotoinstitute.org & http://nakamotoinstitute.org/bitcoin/ You should try!

Oh I wish, but that's a bit much for me. Perhaps you'd like to trade some old newspaper mentions of Bitcoin and a keyois capsule. Hmm what else I got, some stickers, a magazine or two, one of those nice brass coins they sell for like $2 online. Really though they look nice but too expensive for me always it seems.

Too bad that you are a strong supporter of the cancer that is BU. I can't buy from a manufacturer that does this, and plenty of others will likely have the same stance.


+1

I recommend not buying this product if you care about bitcoins decentralized future without some stupid president and crappy coders.



I have no clue what you are talking about there stranger, but might I recommend you think before you speak. Why are banks centralized? What power do they centralize that Bitcoin decentralizes? How is that done in Bitcoin? Once you better understand the answer to these questions you may try and make a comment that makes more sense.


My opinions are the same as can be seen in Satoshi's words (satoshi.nakamotoinstitute.org), if you have a problem with how Bitcoin was made or you just don't like Bitcoin then please don't take that out on me.

Was it ever figured out where you got the inspiration for the name keyois? Because I think you got it from kingdom hearts

Yes it was, one person guessed correctly though they never claimed their prize.

Hello everyone, I am a cryptocurrency fan who started and taught a class at my local community college in order to make crypto more accessible. See some of the outdated information I have gathered here.

I decided I wanted a long term cold storage solution that was better than what I saw out there. One that would survive housefires, floods, power surges, anything really and so that's what I made.

What I made is a tamper evident and long term cold hard storage solution.

I've finished the 2017 version, the 2nd edition. See keyois.com to see them for sale, or keyois.com/about to learn more or even see keyois.com/photos to see more, and of course there is the explanation of why anyone would want anything like this in the first place, which you can read Here.




A few more pictures https://imgur.com/a/6Mjku !




The second generation capsules are numbered from 1-50 and can be made for Bitcoin with a BIP38 encrypted address for extra security.
The secret key is laser engraved on tungsten and sealed in the tamper evident capsule.
The centerpieces have many options including: Ruby, Sapphire, Fine Silver, and 14k & 18k Gold

They are for sale for cryptocurrency only in support of a decentralized currency that people can use in a peer-to-peer fashion. Money for all with no middle men!

This thread is old and filled with what appears to be highly ignorant information, so I plan to delete it and create a new one in a few weeks when I get a better video of crushing the capsule with a 12 ton press again or maybe something new. I've got two capsule make expressly for destroying.

*edit, to those replying in a completely off topic way, please some some reproducible and demonstrable evidence to back your viewpoint and you'll get a lot further with your attempts at convincing other to your own opinion.

This is a very poor attitude to take, you should remember that you do not run bitcointalk and it is an open discussion board. Customers have brought up a point, which you have specifically tied to Keyois in a blog post and now you are hiding instead of justifying your reasoning. I don't know much about this BTU/Segwit detail, but I can see someone dodging important questions a mile away.

It is true I did not reply to the off-topic posts but I believe I have already said all there is to say on the matter.

I go with what the data and anlysis say, and at this point that is Not full blocks.

Please note that I stated I favored what the data said and asked for data which disputed it and no data to dispute it came.

As far as I am concerned I will keep sticking with the data, if there is any data to support full blocks I would be very interested to see it. If there is any data to suggest segregated witness as softfork is better than a mainchain data cap increase I would happily look at it. Yet I see no data that disputes me and only data to validate my current opinion.


If you would be so kind as to tell me what questions I have 'dodged' I would be happy to address them.

Our posts are definitely not off-topic. This is a product from Keyois, and comments regarding the actions of Keyois are very relevant. It seems that you are spamming pretty much everyone from a pre-defined list of people who "showed interest", even though I have been completely against your product. Let me repeat myself one more time: I will not be buying anything from a BU supporting company and will tell everyone else to stay away from such companies. I have put you on PM-ignore to avoid more unwanted reservation of products PMs.

Case closed.

Hi there friend!

Your posts are in fact off topic, as the topic is one thing and you bring up another.

Like I have said before, I stick with what the data says, the data right now shows no danger for bigger blocks, no danger for centralization, and no danger for a planned hard fork with a super majority activation.

At the same time logic displays that the Core roadmap to have always full blocks will lead to full blocks and full blocks lead to orphaned transactions, full blocks also lead to fees too high for most of the world to transact with, full blocks also lead to a change in usability.

I will stick with what the data says, if you have any data you would like to share, please do.

FYI everyone:

Tungsten rings are here, so second edition Keyois Capsules are coming soon, only 50 to be made.

The second edition capsules come numbered and are available with either with the buyer-supplied BIP38 encrypted SK and address or with a regular P2SKH SK & address that I will securely make. There are also new centerpiece options coming soon.

Awesome!

So the second version have three right?
Tungsten
Silver
Bronze

Any discount for returning customer and if we buy all 3 ?

PM details pls

EDIT : i wil take #3 and #4

Hey there,

The second edition will have rings made of tungsten instead of titanium, but the end pieces will still be aliuminium unless you want to special order the silver or bonze cast pieces. The cast pieces cost more and due to the nature of casting I doubt they would hold pressure the same as the machined al ones so I can't be sure they will be water-tight yet. I think I can also get red or white bronze, but I'm not sure if I want to. Powder coating the Al pieces has worked before but that's not as much fun.

I will still have the silver, gold, ruby, sapphire, tourmaile, and quartz centerpeices for sale that can go with any endpiece set.

Let me know if you have any questions.
I can reserve you #'s 3 & 4, it'll be a few weeks but I'll PM you

[Ready!] 2017 Second Edition Keyois Capsules with tungsten rings available now
by
aolley
on 12/04/2017, 01:36:08 UTC
Hidely Ho everyone!

I'd like to announce that Keyois.com has created a second edition 'cold hard storage' bitcapsule that will be available in the next few weeks. has released the 2017 capsule, the second edition.

What's new in the second edition you ask? This:

  • The key and address are engraved on Tungsten rings
  • They are sealed in with red silicone o-rings
  • More streamlined exterior
  • They will be numbered with a their creation number engraved on the inside of the inner tungsten ring
  • Slightly longer screws to increase strength

In addition I've had a few end pieces cast out of sterling silver and bronze, I will possible sell a few of these but be warned they cost a lot to have made for such tiny objects. The silver end pieces are around 22g each (44g total per capsule) and nearly $50/piece (US) to have made. As such any capsule made with the silver end pieces would cost about $200, the bronze ~$140 per capsule. Let me know if you have any interest in this or if you think you might in the future.

See the silver and bronze pieces at https://imgur.com/a/riYHJ.






And finally since so many people seem to like to collect these types of these I will make a few capsules that are not encrypted and are all self contained, similar to many other coins that the buyer can fund if they want



edit: to be more clear

the second edition capsules will have 6061 Al end pieces, and tungsten rings
For special order I can have made the end pieces out of Ag or bronze but the cost is pretty much doubled
