That would indeed be a good reason to celebrate. Even though I buy more stuff from China, having to pay no duties for stuff from America would be pretty sweet.

On-topic: Those Sol Noctis coins look really awesome and I love the custom box. I just might buy one of them.

I always feel sorry for you EU guys for having to pay such outrageous VAT taxes, especially when you are usually already paying higher for international shipping as it is. To me, VAT taxes seem like a mafia shakedown/theft by your government. But as is the saying over here, "Nothing is certain in life but death and taxes."

I agree, a celebration would be in order if there were no VAT taxes between the US and EU anymore. I think that would be a great development for worldwide trade and economics. However, VAT taxes Must be a pretty big cash cow for the gov...  it's hard to see them cutting off such a big source of revenue, you know?
On a side note I probably won't post in this thread too much more, I feel like I've been hijacking it with off-topic stuff!

Okay, this is my last post in here, promise! I agree Og, that is awesome about APMEX selling these! I know they've had them listed for a couple months now at least. I think in the case of APMEX selling loaded physical Bitcoins in the US, it is probably just oversight, misunderstanding, or a don't ask/don't tell situation. Or, they could have had their large legal team discuss it, I have no idea!

You should drop them a message inquiring about them listing/selling NastyFans 1 oz. and 5 oz. coins! Seeing a NastyFans 1 oz. minted seat for sale on APMEX would be epic! Would def. get NastyFans a lot of exposure too. I found the Sol Noctis Bitcoin listed when looking through the "Generic 1 oz. Silver Rounds" section months ago, and I know tons and tons of people look at 1 oz. Silver rounds on APMEX. Provident possibly would be willing to sell them too if you were wanting to go that route.

How many do we need to get for a group buy? I am willing to buy them with that dirty fiat for everyone as I want a couple of these.

Received mine today.  Super fast shipping.  I think it looks better in the pics than in person to be honest.

Well I can order you one if you like...not seeing any discounts for multiples.

I would not mind converting BTC to fiat for a group buy. Maybe if mitchell needs EU shipping I can ship over there

My second Binary Eagle:

As far as I know: blockchain.info does not support search on short keys.
blockr.io support search on short keys

Fair enough to decide on having a 32 symbol public address - for symmetry reasons.
However, 32 symbol public keys are not too hard to find, just search for them in the same way you search for vanity keys.
Really don't see any good reason why not to use 32 symbol keys instead of truncating the last symbols...
