Sources & method

Primary source corpus

The starting corpus was smoothie’s public topic-start history: 35 pages of threads. Distinct product announcements were separated from repeat auctions, notices, giveaways, and unrelated posts. Each catalog record links back to its first-party thread.

Archive sweep

Every post by smoothie in the 31 catalog and supporting topics was reviewed through Ninjastic’s preserved forum index. The Internet Archive CDX index was also checked for every release topic, and each release page now links its available Wayback captures. Archive.today was checked separately for Beryllium Bullet, Monero Mana, and the supporting KIZEKRA mintage topic. These three topic IDs had no Wayback capture and returned no saved Archive.today copy at the time of research.

That revision-level review recovered Platinum Phoenix, a ninth KIZEKRA release that had disappeared when its shared topic was later rewritten for Boron Butterfly. The earlier Phoenix post and all 15 of its source photographs survive in Ninjastic’s post history.

Public address lists

The preserved PGP-signed Lealana Litecoin list contains 1,500 unique addresses in its stable snapshots. It does not associate those addresses with serial numbers, denominations, varieties, or funding dates. A contemporary collector warning also records legitimate privately supplied addresses missing from the list and production figures greater than its address count. The archive therefore treats it as a partial public registry, never as a mintage total or complete census.

Historical price method

BTC, LTC, and XMR conversions use the USD price shown on CoinMarketCap’s daily historical snapshot matching the forum date. XMR and LTC amounts are converted to BTC through their shared USD value. These are daily reference values rather than exact intraday execution prices.

Image recovery

355 image links are recorded in the selected first-post revisions. 342 returned valid image data and are preserved locally. A further 22 photographs were recovered from later replies and authenticated aftermarket auction threads, bringing the displayed source-photo total to 364. Nine legacy Imageshack photographs were recovered from exact Internet Archive captures and visually matched to their original Litecoin and Bitcoin threads. 13 other Imageshack files remain unavailable at the original URL, the Bitcointalk image proxy, and the Internet Archive URL lookup.

Completeness caveat

This is a first-party release catalog, not a census of every serial number actually assembled or every aftermarket sale. “Maximum mintage” is reproduced as a production ceiling stated by the maker; it is not automatically a claim that the full maximum was minted.
