Successful Funding requires full payment for all 331 standard Collector’s Copies by the campaign deadline. Each qualifying copy counts once, whether purchased alone or in a package. Purchases of copies #1 and #21, the Premium Edition, and standalone Digital Packages do not count toward this requirement. Unpaid, refunded, canceled, fraudulent, or reversed transactions do not count.
Yes. Premium Edition purchases do not count toward Successful Funding. Premium Edition orders will be fulfilled only if the campaign achieves Successful Funding through qualifying Collector’s Copy sales or BTC Inc. elects to proceed under Section 7(b) of the Campaign Terms.
Subject to Successful Funding or BTC Inc.’s election to proceed, physical orders are scheduled to ship during calendar year 2027. A more specific timeline will be provided after the campaign concludes. Physical items included in a package will ship with the book unless the listing states otherwise.

No refund request is required, and no processing or cancellation fees will be deducted.
Any Digital Package or conference pass expressly included in your order remains valid and is not canceled solely because the campaign is unsuccessful.

Refunds will be issued within the time required by applicable law, generally to the original payment method where supported. Your payment provider may take additional time to post the credit. Bitcoin or other digital-asset refunds are based on the original U.S. dollar purchase amount, as described in Section 7(e) of the Campaign Terms.
