2018 rolled around. Yes, another round! Voting on designs, really paying attention this time buckaroos. Yay, they’re ready. My money situation is better this year, good to go!

It looks great! I will need to keep my eye out for these for next year! I am still early in my stacking effort so it could be a great way to start!
Oh man! I gotta have one of those!
Looks really neat and having a physical part of the blockchain (kinda) is perfect.
