I have refunded everyone who posted in this thread, but I still have 0.02165615 BTC left. Who ever owns this hit me up with some proof it is yours so I can be done with it, please.

That's a bummer , i was waiting for these
but i guess since he's working on other one , it should be fine

Thanks

There is a super childish reason I canceled the preorders. There MIGHT be some holograms I ordered coming in along with MAYBE some physical plastic coins coming in on next monday. 

What a shame, these looked interesting.
I didn't place an order so don't have a refund pending but still would have liked to see the final product.

Is there a new project taking over?

I have been asked to refund everyone now that this project is not going to be completed. Everyone needs to msg me for their refund.

so what happened to these?

I know you said no updates, but I cant confirm I want it until I see what it looks like.  I need to wait until you post a pic of a coin as soon as you have one.

What will you ship ? Not the thing I see on the photos I hope.

Coins will be shipped in 20 days. PMing everyone for shipping info

They will be, feel free to take your money out of escrow. I'm not posting any updates, I'm waiting till I have a nice finished coin to post.

indeed MJ !



 

It looks like a piece of candy. 

wtf
really?

Forgive my ignorance and my late reply.
As it stands, I'm afraid that I'm out aswell, sorry.
Really not my way usually, but this is...different than expected.

 

I have nothing more.

Yes! Ah I see that is a cool label

An indention for the private key is not really needed if you are storing small amounts of BTC, and use one layer of paper.  There may be a slight bulge in the hologram but I kind of like that because it tells me there is a key under there 

For example, the satori coin does not have an indention.

Is it the final design of the coin ? 

 
woot ! wooot !!  
 is this a joke ?... seriously ..?  

You are of course right about the indent and that's something that, if the design is of a high enough standard and the chips of good quality I think would be acceptable. The alternate view would be to get them "routed" so a small indent is created there, but as with all things, add a process and you're adding cost. Lots to research and time to spend...

Numbering was also another issue with the choice being "on holo" etching or "on chip", but then materials plays its part in that drama too....

As a result of our previous chat I did actually follow up with some manufacturers and holo makers.... it was an interesting pursuit and one that may yet yield dividends.

Viz

I see,  the price actually goes down to $5 a coin I failed to mention that.  The hologram would stick to the back. I have already messed around with stickers and the like


If I go with poker chips there is no indenting to put the private key. That's why I think it would be better to just print a nice design

I had sent a PM to the OP that I changed my mind on the reservation of the 50 coins.   Initially I wanted to give these away for my upcoming autographed Encyclopedia project, but I had envisioned poker chip coins in my brain, even though the OP mentioned they would be 3D printed.   

I would much prefer a poker chip type coin like Satori.  What I've seen of 3D printing, it doesn't have that level of quality that's expected.

That's DIY not DYI.   

I'm going to withdraw from my purchase.

I appreciate the effort you have put in but these, as they are at the moment, do not reach our desired quality standards for retail or resale to a consumer market. They just won't stand up, sorry.

If you can resolve the issues of finish and overall quality I'll re order.

Thanks and good luck

Viz

This is just my opinion, feel free to take it as you wish.

These are not worth $10 each, and everyone knows that. You are going to have a lot of unhappy people soon.
You should have really got a few produced, so people could see exactly what they were buying, before you started taking payment for these "coins".
As mj has pointed out, these seem very rough, I do not expect a hologram to even stick on them. He also raises some other good points, so I won't bother repeating them..

I'm sorry, but imo, these are terrible I am glad I didn't get involved.

Please understand that this is NOT a jab at you personally, but I would be severely pissed if I spent $10 each on these.

Thanks

Do it yourself.  Like the hologram will be on a piece of paper and you peel it off onto the coin.

Oh yeah, what's a DYI?   

So the draft will be fixed right?

OK, so like Miffman said, you are purposely making a decimal error?  And, making it look VERY deceptive.  Mmmk...   I don't know how you're going to implement this with your current printed coin anyhow.  But, good luck!  I'm out!  Please remove my name from the list.  I will no longer be buying.

Well the error was in the draft picture... the physical plastic coin with the 7 in the middle I have about 10 of them right now. I am looking into labels now, I am definitely going to be applying a circular label on one side of the coin that has a cool design on it. Going to try to find the best labels I can and I will include a DYI hologram

Why aren't you changing the design so there is no error? Having an error on purpose is not cool. Casascius error coins were more valuable only because they were a genuine mistake.

Can you read the text below the photo of the .25 that says there is a decimal error

I was thinking these coins would be the final design. But I am up open to talking about it. I was also thinking the hologram could have the .025 BTC on it.

This "coin" is not what I expected and looks nothing like what you want the coin to look like.    Also, your 0.⁰25BTC on that picture is also deceptive because it looks like 0.25BTC  Is this the final product?  

BUMP WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THE COIN IN THE OP?







^Technically thats coin number 9 but 2-8 were not about as thin as my nail and thrown away

A rough idea of what I want the coin to look like kinda.

I dunno how to answer your questions but thank you!

Why are you going with laser printing vs. a poker chip maker?  Isn't it more expensive going 3d?  I am curious, because I too am from the U.S.  I like the Satori.  I paid someone from Europe for a couple of the Satoris and they feel really nice!

Good luck with your project, killyou72  

I like those links, that gives me ideas for 101+. holograms are gonna arrive in about 4 weeks


I will be doing a second coin and will incorprate something like that in it

The printing job isn't that tuff if you outsource it ., I'm curious to the design...

Would be nice if you can make a demo coin at the printer shop or use https://www.3dhubs.com/

I will print them somewhere local, that will be cheaper than shipping.

with nfc tag maybe ?! http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:706011

Lmao. This is great. What a scam.

Definitely a charming coin idea. Send me a free coin and I will analyze it in great detail. If it passes my rigorous inspection I shall certify it has been approved by The Coin Council. This should raise the value of your coin but if it fails I doubt you stand the chance of selling anymore. Myself and a few others have decided to regulate this market due to certain coins that are below standard and we wish to stop people buying this and wasting their money.

We will offer a new standard of coins. This will be a fresh beginning for the world of physical crypto.
Out with the trash and in with the immaculately made coins.

If you cant decide what manufacturers to buy from don't worry we will tell you what you want to buy.

Divided we fall yet united and regulated we will rise.

TCC

They paid 100% mail them yourself. The person who bought the 50 have more trust than you on here


Bithalo bought them

hoooo ! 50 coins sold to a "special" person...    congratulations !  i applause man ! LOL

and pokers party with platics printed coins will start !

ho... who's lebnor ? ( newbie, 9 posts....account created on ....June 15, 2016..)  

50 coins are sold to a special person. So coins will be going out as soon as I get them because the extra shipping for 10 people isn't going to be that bad

I would prefer waiting to get the coin with the holo together.  I can wait another few weeks for the holo to come in. 

It would save yourself a lot of hassle and shipping cost not to have to ship twice per person.

Payment for #6

https://btc.blockr.io/tx/info/9907fe79d7097a8b4e40a9f317194541bb605e5c070db5e07b833bcb8ab186e8

Lol. It'd a question to get feedback, from an idea to your doorstep in 3 weeks I think is amazing. If I stick with the original deadline then that's only 4 weeks away, or September 1st.

Also the coin is DYI so I am only including the hologram I am not placing it on the coin. (Well I'm going to do a few to see how they stick but those are for myself)

LOL ... funny to see so much professionalism...   be aware guys...  this guy is not very clear..

Updated how would you guys feel if these coins shipped without the DIY hologram and that came at a later date? (But say 2 weeks from now you would get the coin if major of those who have paid for their spots vote that will decide, (So you bought 2 you get 2 votes)

paid for mine two

Yes I am providing the hologram  and if you want to you can.

If they are DIY, do we have to put a private key in as say a tiny QR code on them and then the hologram sticker on top?  Then we load the 0.025 BTC to the corresponding address?

I'll post TXID shortly

Viz

Huh... escrow changed? Luckily I have read the thread now since I wanted to know the name of the coin for my details post and last post from you that I received last night was asking me to post the details.

Well, it's fine. Blazed is a trustworthy escrow. Though killyou72, next time I would appreciate a notice when you change your mind.

Sent lebnor 's 50% partial payment for 3 coins to the escrow address

Confirming that is my address and I will be escrowing this! I will also take 2 random numbered coins.

they were always dyi

escrow is with blazed

address is

1GyhTqsY97UaqH5HiaU4qhowg5TFnGAyFV

. I can't commit and will not pay until I see at the very least a mockup/design and know price.  Seeing that they are now diy, even less likely.  

because this was just to see if there was any interest and apparently there is. I still need to figure out shipping also.

How can you require payment if you don't even know how much you are charging yet?   

You can, but I am going to require you to send payment to the escrow in order to hold the spot. I will update the OP now

The escrow should be making a post tonight

Can I reserve #22 and #28, please?

Thanks!

Awesome, OP is updated! Once the escrow is set up, I will send the funds you sent me to the escrow.

Sent

As you are a newbi member I cannot reserve these numbers for you without partial payment, and escrow is not set up yet. If you do not wish to wait for escrow, you can send the $15 in BTC(HALF of the cost of the 3 coins) to my address 1FrankiEeckk8y4XSqDbqNpifUQjNYq31T and I will reserve those numbers for you.

I would like to reserve 16, 17, and 18. Thanks.

Updated OP. and I even corrected the title from "pretty [ANN] to [ANN]"

#15 #19 and either #25 (if MJ gives it up ) or #20 for me pls

Can I reserve #12,#13 & #14 please ? Thanks

done! I will have a design up for the coin by the end of the day today!!!

3 for me please.

#100 #25 #11

Thanks

I can escrow this as soon as enough interest exists. Let me know once a good bunch of them will be ready to be paid and I will create an escrow address to provide safety for everyone.

Number 5 is not available, I am going to post a list of numbers in the OP. The next lowest is 6. Well, coins will be mailed by august 1st. If I am allowed to use the funds that are escrowed than I would have a much cheaper coin if not no big deal.

I'm interested if there's an escrow and you don't ask for payment months before actual delivery.  I'll take #5 if available otherwise next lowest. 

Would you like to reserve any numbers?/send payment to the escrow that hasnt been decided yet.

Thing is, at the right price these things are ideal for Exhibitions, Events etc. Keep them cheap (not too cheap) and look for the marketing market. It's an area we are working on as there all these "Blockchain" events going on, doesn't hurt to remind them Bitcoin is there

Although, good quality one (and to be fair the Satori Coins do feel nice) could be worth doing IF the cost points are right.

I'm game for some for sure!

Viz

Dont come up with a solution too quick, I dont wanna make 100 coins per say and have 99 sitting that I cannot sell/give away lol.

I smell a solution in here somewhere.

i'll hunt out some EU based chip makers too.

I really like the idea of low denomination chips that can be given away at events and the like.

Higher denoms could appear if there was demand.

Viz

 OGNasty blocked me because I asked them to escrow a hero account enrolled in bitx sign campaign. I did not realize buying accounts for signature campaigns was so heavily frowned upon.

How do you guys feel with Quickseller as escrow?

Edit: I am still shopping around for holograms, but I can 100% surely say that the coins can be mailed out by September 1st, possibly the 2/3rd week in August.


Edit: blazed did not block me, I thought he did, and SebastianJu is going to be the escrow

#4 would be perfect.  When is your plan to have the coins in stock? 

If you need help, bigtimespaghetti offers services to help new makers produce coins and holos.

Since Satori doesn't sell to the US market due to FinCen regulation, there is likely a market for these inexpensive unfunded poker chip-type coins that can be sent to the US.    There have been other poker chip tokens made without holos from other companies as well.

Many people will say they prefer the option for escrow for coin makers not as well known, that are doing pre-orders.  Some possible escrows you could ask: SebastianJu, Blazed, OgNasty.

Where? I really like those, but I do not thing they would be possible with 3D printing, I think 3D printing only does one color, or its just expensive for more.

We have a US Based Chip maker 

I liked the look of these
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Bitcoin-Poker-Casino-Quality-Plastic/dp/B00OQL7MOQ
and then Satori Coin popped up...

I do wonder if one of our USA based peeps could connect with a US chip maker and create something interesting

Viz

Sure, The lowest number is going to be 4. Do you think I should set up an escrow to take actual pre-orders or no?

Definitely.  If you take pre-reservations, I'd like #1 or lowest number possible. 

Can I put you down for one of my plastic coins?!

Just ask another forum member to have Satori ship to them.  But in any case, don't let it deter you from creating your own coin, even if its similar to Satori.

I wanted them, but they do not ship to USA. So here I am

These sound like Satori coins.   They are Japanese and look like poker chips, with holos.  If you live outside the US, you can ask them for a free sample.  If you are in the US, you may ask another forum member to reship them on your behalf. 

https://satoricoin.jp/en/

Coins would have face value of .025 bitcoin. Come unloaded and come with 1 hologram. The holograms would be numbered, the coins would not be. I was wondering if there would be any interest in these. The price would be between 10 per coin including shipping in the USA. Bulk orders would certainly get a discount. These would be plastic coins printed from a 3D Printer. Coin design, color, and hologram are not final yet. Coins would be the size of a standard poker chip. I am just trying to see if there is any interest in this before I do anything.  Any other questions please let me know. September 1st is my deadline to have your coins shipped to you. If your name is green that mean you have paid for your coins 100%, if your name is red 50%.


If you have paid for 2 spots you get 2 votes

Would you like your coins in two weeks and receive the holograms at a later date?

List of numbers
50 random coins were bought by private party! 80/100 sold coins will be sent soon!!

PRICE IS REDUCED TO 5 PER COIN PLUS SHIPPING. If you already sent 10$ to escrow have no fear as its probably worth near $5 now. Lol.

What do you think of that? note the decimal point error








So this coin could be shipped out when I receive the holograms what do you think?
