Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
I have some of the gold finish also, and these have more copper color in them. Tint is a little off in the picture, but they are a decent match for my copper blocks.
I'm not an expert, but it appears to be an anodized finish to me. I don't think its plated in actual copper. My build has copper accents through out. I actually had most of my screws plated in actual copper by a 3rd party. I asked Bitspower if they would be willing to make me some copper fittings, and they said yes. The pictures are just showing what I received. Bitspower didn't share any details with me of their process.
Here's another shot of how I'm thinking about using them....
