Hi Brady, ... thumbs up !!! It's really great if you find the time to host the second round!!! As Mal (3BlindEyes) wrote before, I'm absolutely busy in the moment and won't find the time to host it by myself right now. Count me in !!! Of course! If you need any help at any time ... drop a line I will spread the news in the german forum as there are some traders who do not read here on aregular basis. And if someone please put a Rainforest V1 in the trade list ... (dedicated to me, of course!) Cheers, Dirk

Looking for: - Rainforest V1 - Bitten by Whitebear (2006) - ant copper - Bitten by Whitebear (2006) - ant copper, glow - Bitten by Whitebear (2006) - ant gold Can trade against: - Templar (ant silver, ant gold, ant copper) - Stone of Rosetta (ant silver, ant gold, ant copper) - Lord of the Cache (ant gold) Cheers, Dirk

Happy New Year To Everybody From Germany ... !!! And our resolution for 2008: Simply to have more fun with our family ... ! Cheers Dirk

Well ... you all know how it happens: Over the years you grow up, become an adult, later you find a wife (or a husband) ... and over all the years, bit by bit, you loose the faith in christmas, Santa, and his little helpers from the north pole. Memories of fascinating tales, the surprises you find under the tree ... it's never as it has been before. Even when you see the excitement in the eyes of your own children ... life can be cruel for an adult. But then another 24th of december arrives. You open the mail box, take out the envelopes, sit down on the kitchen table with a hot coffee and take a closer look. Christmas cards from friends and family, some advertisements, some bills ... and then your eyes get fixed on a small little padded envelope. Do I expect some coins to arrive? No, budget was empty for the last weeks! Who has sent this? And then, reading the sender, from one single moment to the other, you feel all this wonderful believe again. The warmth of excitement fills your heart, you vervously open the envelope ... and then it's time to happily shout through the whole house: Thanks so much for making me believe again!!! Thanks Santa's Caching Clause !!! Christmas is here ... and it's all the fun that ever was !!! Merry christmas to everbody out there! Dirk

Ho Ho Ho ... MERRY CHRISTMAS from Germany ... !!! And of course we all have been nice ... well, okay, most of us ... depends who you'll ask But at least my two sons should have behaved very well - otherwise I would wonder why there are already some parcels hidden in my office Cheers, Dirk

BBBBOOOOOOOYYYYYYY ..... Thanks for the link! Dirk

did I miss something ?!?!?! Can anybody send a link or a pic? Thanks, Dirk

Congratulations, Sabrina Maybe you can send the GSA a bit more to the south? Hunting him down on the other side of Germany is "a bit problematic" for me Thumbs up! Dirk

Wooohoooo ... !!! Late in the night a short note dropped in - another visitor of my cache, fine. But after I while I decided to read the log - and couldn't believe my eyes: CCC visited my cache ... and left on of their coins! Rest of the night I remained nearly sleepless - I couldn't go directly as parts of the location are closed during the night time (an old monastery). "Time goes by ... so slowly ... for those who wait". Yeah, Madonna is soooo right about it! In the early morning hours I jumped out of bed, murmured a short and nervous "morning, have to hurry ... coin ... cache ... work" to my family (which looked really irritated!) and left the house. I flew through the streets (35 km to go), headed towards the cache (my heart was bumping for excitement) and: *** STRIKE *** my first mystery coin!!! Thanks so much for visiting Germany, CCC !!! I'll keep it forever! Dirk

Invitation sent! Cheers, Dirk

Invitation sent! Cheers, Dirk

Unfortunately I have taken all of you from the list as collaborators ... BUT why don't each of you enter their names and addresses in the general address list (as already initiated thread ) ? I think it would be quite nice to have that international address book ... and some of us are already in it. I can send some invitations for it. Cheers, Dirk

means I get coin #35 from swedenhawk and send #79 to general_tupperware; the last nummer, 171 is just the link to the next trade in the circle. Correct? Thanks for clarifying this ... and it's correct. The last ID (171) is only a reference to the next trade within the circle. Dirk

Hi Katja ... a regular basis would sure be nice ... but the question is: do you get such a bunch of new tradeable coins within a month? I think, in oder to make the trade attractive to anybody, we should try to have different offers. And honestly: A monthly basis would be hard work (more or less) ... I intend to setup a web page about the Math Trade, the idea behind it, some sep-by-step guide and so on. If this page exists and can be used as a reference ... maybe then the time has come to do it on a monthly basis. Right now I would assume doing it bimonthly would be enough ... BUT that should not stop anybody from running a Math Trade (national or international) on their own!!! Thanks again to everybody, Dirk PS: Am i right? Did you get the Trickle from me? Need to take a coser look now

Ladies and Gentlemen ... drum-rolls, please ... The First International Math Trade is finished!!! Before I post the results I would like to add some statistics for it: - 184 coins offered - 164 coins were given a want list - 20 coins with no want list - 95 coins (out of 164) were traded in total ... that's a rate of ... you do the math - 5 circle trades were established to do the trades, the largest one includes 40 coins! I would like to say a big "Thank you!" to all of you !!! It has been a pleasure do host this trade and I really hope you somehow enjoied it (or at least you will do when the coins arrive)! The full input and output for the TradeMaximizer software can be found in the spreadsheet, I will only present the most interesting parts here. How to read the list: In the first column you will find your name and the respective coin ID for this line, next column says whether you traded this coin or not and which coin you receive from whom (again with ID). The last column states, to whom you will have to send your coin (specified in the first column). The ID given in the last column is of no interest here ... It's now up to you to exchange your postal addresses and to send the coins in a timely manner! Again, if any questions arise ... please ask! Okay ... you've waited long enough ... here's the outcome of the trade: ITEM SUMMARY (95 total trades): (3BLINDEYES) 110 does not trade (3BLINDEYES) 111 receives (KDV) 51 and sends to (DOC256) 41

Have fun, Dirk

Status update: Last list is still missing ... I'll send a last reminder. Far past midnight for me - I'll go and catch some sleep now. I intend to start the software in about 8-9 hours ... regardless if the list is there or not. Hope that this is okay for you (yes, I will read this thread before I start) Good night, Dirk

Sorry ... no there aren't bad ones in it Typical german way of meaning that you have offered some coins which I surely would be more interested in than in others ... Cheers, Dirk

By the way: As I said before ... a rule is a rule is a rule ... If someone has complains about the additional waiting time simply send a PM to me (no need to do that in the public!). I will only wait if you all agree on it Or if anyone intends to set a maximum time frame ... please do so! Yes, I have set the rules for this Math Trade as I'm hosting it - but as I'm a participant on the same time I really would like to see a common agreement about it Dirk (tends to seek the harmony as it seems )

Take a look at your coins - not the badest ones, I would assume Dirk

... me, too - me, too !!! I'm missing one list in the moment but have been emailed that the list should appear today. Honestly said I would like to wait for it to arrive. Any concerns about it? Yes, I know, a rule is a rule is a rule ... Dirk
