Well, I just auctioned some that are now way overpriced because they were supposed to not be for sale. I will now give some partial refunds because I feel bad over charging people...
I have been told that the 1k bits Chips that are on sale are different than the ones we got as gifts. Those initial white chips will be more sought after, as there wont be as many of them. I think that whatever people chose to pay on auction for them is fair. Just my opinion. If it turns out that they are exactly the same, I will refund as well.
Thanks
If you look at photos closer, you'll see that the white ones in the marketing give-aways are different than this new batch we're selling.
The new ones are the "official" collection, and have serial numbers starting with "F". (Where, serial numbers prefix A-E are for the larger denomination chips.)
The U# chips were our first batch, but we decided on making some design changes, and had to wait another round of production. In the mean time, we decided to go ahead and make some ~3,000 of them, for gifts for marketing, etc. They won't be sold, but will be given away. We still have inventory of that variety, so the ultimate production will likely exceed 3,000.
About our serial numbers:
In future, maybe a few years from now, even smaller denominations will use G, H, etc, until we get to "S" for the "1 Satoshi" chips. But that's a long time away. That's also why the Half Bitcoins use "T", which is after "S". And the marketing 1K chips use "U", which comes after "T". They are all loaded, so don't let the "U" confuse you.
