Buying my first NFT stamps.
I was pleasantly surprised last month when I heard that Deutsche Post will be releasing as they call it, a Crypto Stamp ("Krypto-Briefmarke").
The way it is working is that you can order the stamps you want and you get a physical stamp but also a digital copy that you can hold in a wallet as an NFT free of charge.
You order a booklet with the stamps and then it gives you also access to the Stamp NFT. The collection is limited to 250k stamps so they could become quite collectibles. You can order in Germany and internationally.
The stamps are of the Brandenburg Gate and the ones that I have ordered cost €9,90 each. It will be interesting to see if the NFTs will appreciate in value because it will be the first Deutsche Post NFT! I guess you could call them the Genesis Collection.
Therefore I have ordered 2, in case I want to trade 1 later. This also saved me postage costs for the booklet. Yes Deutsche Post don't deliver their own products postage free.
Once the booklet with access to the stamps arrives, it will tell you how to setup your Metamask and then gain access to your stamps. Although this is a limited edition, it is possible that this could be the beginning of stamps becoming NFTs and Metamask reaching a much larger audience until now. This is why Hive should have an account creation and access process through Metamask as a signing device implemented as a priority imo.
To get the NFTs you need to use a newly created service called Cipers.me which seems to be on Polygon. This is a pretty new service which seems to have been created specifically to use with this Deutsche Post NFT Stamp launch.
The website claims to allow you to collect and trade your stamps. I have already registered and you do that with an email and password.
Once registed, you can see that I have no stamps currently visible. It is now ready for when my booklet arrives. I can scan the QR code and then link my wallet and import my stamp NFT. I presume the stamps are already minted on chain. But I am excited to get it setup and import my stamps hopefully next week when the booklets arrive.
Although I am not a stamp collecter per se, I do have some older stamps laying around and did dable abit in the past. I am however, a lover of NFTs and like to collect them. Especially genesis or limited edition ones.
Once the stamps arrive and I have added them to my collection, I will give a further update.
Thanks for reading.

Wow - thats pretty clever. Its bringing stamp collecting into the digital age. If it is taken up by stamp collectors, then I think they should do well. You'll probably need to keep the physical copies safe as well, because they will be worth more if kept as a pair.

Thanks, yeah it looks like it could be a fun way to collect stamps. I will for sure keep them together, thats a good idea. :)
That is a great investment in the stamp.
Thanks, it's really exciting. I can't wait to see them
Irgendwo hatte ich gelesen, dass die Österr. Post dies auch schon tut. Die scheinen jetzt alle auf den NFT Stamp-Trip gestossen zu haben ;)
Ja, das sieht so aus! Ich bin gespannt wo die Reise geht. Ich muss die Österreichische Briefmarke anschauen.
Das sollte dir helfen: https://www.post.at/p/c/cryptostampart

Just a play on the word pump bro!
I see :P thats how it is
Congratulations to you
I hope you buy more
Thanks, I hope so too.
Good idea, stamps as NFTs!
!DHEDGE
I think its a great idea. Looking forward to seeing them when they arrive.
Can you use them to send them to snail mail or do you just collect and trade them?
It looks like there is a physical stamp you can use with these too. Once I get mine and I acn get on the trading part, I will see if there is a difference in price between used and unused NFT stamps.
Cool. You can send me a postcard with an NFT stamp😀
I will see if it is domestic or international post. Lol
Omg thanks for letting us know!

Thanks for your support.
Nope that's pretty dope I honestly would have never thought that would be possible or even though of the idea. Look forward to an update post on this for when the are scanned and seeing that process.
Yeah I think its a pretty big deal and introducing the public to NFTs and Metamask with stamps shows further adoption coming. DeutschePost are pretty innovative with regards to their services and it seems the logical next step to use NFTs. I will give an update once they arrive.
So cool, reblogged 😃
Thanks! I think its pretty big!😀
👍 You are welcome.
Oh how cool, let's see how they perform with time Steve!
Thanks Ed. Hopefully they will be quite sought after.
Let's hope so!
I love how they scam you twice. once with an NFT and then with shipping fee on their own delivery network ☺️ !PIZZA
Yeah man 😅
Hold your NFT for the longest is difficult
It is not easy to make the commitment
Collecting stamps from all country around the world on digital or paper format could be very exciting.
Thank you
Thanks, I think it could be something special in a few years time with the genesis collection from Deutsche Post.
Thanks

I just found out that there are NFT stamps from your blog, friend.
Thanks for checking them out
That's pretty cool! It won't be long before you'll see a lot of other countries jumping on the band wagon!
Yes, it seems Austria has already done it. We will see if others follow suit.
This is cool. I hope people will use more of this in the future
Thanks, I hope so too. I think NFTs are a great way to disrupt the postage service :)
Wow! That's a cool way to promote stamps and also new tech as NFTs! Seeing a big giant as Deutsche Post is very bullish!
That made me laugh... lol... 😃
Yeah, I thought it was quite big news. I am looking to see how it develops. Hopefully we will see more adoption in the future.
This pairing of stamps and NFTs is something new that I was not aware of before reading your post. Interesting
