All-points Bulletin: March 2023

A monthly reminder to check my "Matchmaking" table to see if you are one of the lucky people to have a matching pair, but have not responded to my attempts to contact you.  The table is now at its new home on my website here:

If you see your bill's serial number or your Owner ID in the table, please contact me HERE:

Database Status Update:

Temporary Database is up and running

Stupid Robot

Late last night I got a notice from Google...

Your file may violate Google Drive's Terms of Service

2013BstarDatabase contains content that may violate Google Drive's Spam policy. Some features related to this file may have been restricted. If you think this is an error and would like the Trust & Safety team to review this file, request a review below....

Restricted file

2013BstarDatabase

Breaking it down, Google (probably their software or some automated BOT)  somehow flagged  this spreadsheet/database as 'SPAM'. While it is still viewable by me (the file owner), it will not show up for anyone else.  Fortunately I had the foresight to keep my master copy off of the internet (what you see online is just a copy).

       

I have requested a REVIEW of their decision but apparently this could take FIVE DAYS (and probably not counting weekends). 

Continue sending in your submissions and I will update the database offline until  this situation is resolved.  Alerting you by email when a matching serial number is found in the database will continue and is unaffected by this Google situation with the online database.

 

I have set up a TEMPORARY database at http://bit.ly/3ZaTHvW

Updates about this situation will be posted both at a TEMPORARY Database and on my website https://project2013b.blogspot.com/

Database is Temporarily DOWN!

Apparently Google, or some Google 'bot', has flagged the 2013B database (spreadsheet) as 'spam'.  I have requested a review.  I will provide more updates soon!

Confirmed Match! SN B* 09374348

Project 2013B Confirmed Matched Pair SN B* 09374348

PROJECT 2013B has it's 29th confirmed match! There are now 41 confirmed matching pairs over the history of this project, the Zegers/Winograd project that preceded it, and matched pairs spotted at auctions. Started in October of 2021, Project 2013B now accounts 71% of the confirmed matching pairs, and has over 32,103 unique serial numbers registered it its database.

Serial Number 09374348 is the highest serial number of any matched pair so far in this project; the maximum being 09600000 to still be in the valid serial number range of the production error.

The 'Fort Worth' printed 2013B star note was registered 2022.11.23 by member dqI9y

 The 'Washington DC' printed 2013B star note was registered 2023.02.23 by member a7FS who found the bill in Massachusetts.

Photos of the bills from both parties officially confirmed a match today. From the day the match was detected in the database, to today's photo verification took 3 days.

Remember to check your spam folders just in case a matching pair announcement is emailed to you, and you could see your bill showcased here... not to mention having set that could bring thousands of dollars at auction (subject to bills condition of course). Subscribe to the newsletter for extra 'insurance' against the spam folder scenario. Check the match-making list to see if your serial number (or member ID) is on the list of people I need to hear back from: http://bit.ly/3jXYNwl
