Topic: [AUCTION] The NEW 2017 Bitcoin Penny™ has YOUR NAME on it! (Read 2451 times)

Wow, I can't believe I missed this whole thread. Must have been afk for a week, or blind, or both  

I think I know exactly what GP went with

Congrats on the win my friend, I know for a fact I'll be purchasing some of these.

Congratulations, greenplastic! You've WON!

Thank you, greenplastic, for your generous high bid of 1.6 BTC! (I wonder what you'll choose on the coin.)




And thank you to everyone who participated in this auction as well as to everyone who likes and supports The Bitcoin Penny Company. We're here because of you! Thank you, everyone.

@ The Bitcoin Penny Company

Thank you all. 

you know, BUCK has a nice ring to it
lol

congrats!!!!

Congratulations greenplastic and good luck on your decision for the coins.

GP, I put my 2017 Bitcoin Penny trust in you!   

Congrats gp

Gotta say, I like both, thanks and congrats!  

Well it's between those two. 

So... IRIE.. Or.. Grrr ? Or.. still pondering?

 

A little less than 8 HOURS left to play in the auction! (Click HERE for COUNTDOWN TIMER!)


Whose NAME will be on our NEW 2017 Bitcoin Penny™ Commemorative Coins?

It could be...




Good luck, everyone!

Regards,
Chris

I really like IRIE...



...while the impromptu bear growl Grrr does have its charm...



Regards,
Me

No no...stilll pondering it, and dreaming. 

Dam, nice bid gp.  So is grrr what will be on it if you win?

1.6BTC Grrr!

Regards,
Me

Whoa, 1.5BTC already?  Thought I was going to get in on this but it looks way out of my league already compared to last year.  Good luck to the bidders! 

As Sky mentions below, this is our second year doing the YOUR NAME ON OUR COINS auction. We had so much fun doing it last year, that we immediately decided to do it every year for the new release. The winner of this year's auction will have his choice of custom NAME / INITIALS minted on all of our 2017 standard mint coins. (That's a guaranteed minimum of 2,000 coins.) And it looks like TMAN may be the winner for 2017 with his choice of ALLS minted on the coins. It's a strong bid, so I'm not sure anyone is bold enough to go against it.

As for future opportunities, we'll do the same auction again in early 2018 for the 2018 Bitcoin Penny™ release.

Chris

This is the second auction , the previous one happened last year for 2016 Bitcoin pennies

It is not a sale of a roll(though the winner will get a roll) but actually the auction to get your name(or something you want) on all the Bitcoin pennies(other than SN). Just like last one had DAVE on it

Normal sale will start after the winner has been decided..

It is amazing!
Are you planning on make more auctions at this kind in the future?
Maybe just a normal sell could be better so we can all have a chance to have one.

Just to get a single coin with BIG added would require a new die to be made at the mint.

Regards,
Me

1 extra roll for me as big balls... well maybe 5 extra.  I'll pay the costs

LOL Sorry, TMAN. We do have to keep up the appearance of integrity on our coins. No BIG, just ALLS. 

Regards,
Me

.75 BTC for AGINA

Big BTCalls

come on guys  - im getting stung here... ill pay extra if needed!

And i came here to see oh it has started
but well it's out of my hands

Will like to see BTC ALLS on it for sure lol

ill chip in extra for the big balls request...

It may be... 

Regards,
Me

is the auction over already?

would you do a small run of special ones just for me?? unless anyone else comes out the woodwork that is - I guess zerox just came in here to annoy me - insults me about my kids - insults the icon of this coin collecting game, then comes in just to bid me up... so childish!

LOL Sorry, we can't mint BIG BALLS across the coin. LMAO 

Regards,
Me

seeing as Gobby has backed out again. looks like I will win this... so...

any chance of moving the BTC on the left of the coin up a bit - then having Big Balls across the coin? think that would be awesome...

The MIKE coin... 


Regards,
Me

Christ. 0.075BTC per penny. However, I'm not sure if I would want BALLS written on my coins as a company.

I can guarantee that statement is incorrect. this is fun - you are all talk and no trousers.. put your "hacked" BTC where your mouth is...

knew the "found" 50BTC was a lie - seems like you don't have any BALLS! big balls wins again!

Let's go with your balls then.

ALLS @ 1.5BTC

XERO @ 1.25 BTC

Wow... the price has already doubled last years winning bid and it's just day one?

ALLS 1BTC

Could you mock up 'MIKE'? Might sell some XMR for this auction

XERO @ 0.55BTC

Regards,
Me

what would the mock up look like with "ONG" ?

Unfortunately, the space is too tight for me to fit it in.

Regards,
Me

Could you get "agina" in there? 

Regardless of who wins, I look forward to adding the 2017 Bitcoin Penny to my collection!

ALLS @ 0.5BTC

We have to admit, XERO does look pretty cool...


Regards,
Me

XERO @0.45BTC

F*CK balls - might just go XMR if I Win!!

If i had a dead dog his name would have been BUCK lol, jk as i know how you roll with the 'balls' lol the big was rhetorical

your request is just your name, ill keep going big boy... if someone wants to name a coin after a dead relative or dog.. then i will feel like a prick if I keep going - so speak out

Well, it depends how BIG you wanna go?

I so want Balls on this coin - but if people have sentimental reasons for any name chosen please speak out...

Thanks, cryptoheadd.

Regards,
Me

Watching.
Best of luck on your release, Bitcoinpenny.
Will definitely love to add these to my collection.

so awesome lol

made me laugh!

my name is BUCK and i'm here for ......LUCK

I dont think I can top "BALLS"

Excited for the new 2017 penny, gotta add to my collection...

Irie 0.38BTC

I believe that we can accept ALLS as a valid choice.

Regards,
Chris

Balls @ .37

Sure, so when we include the big BTC in the center of the coin, it'll read BTCALLS? 


Regards,
Me

Could you mock up ALLS please

Thanks for the bid, greenplastic!

Maybe we'll get to see the new IRIE coin...

Chris

I'm glad Bitcoin Penny is back for 2017!   Keep em' coming..

ironical and all lol

Thanks for the bids, guys!

Our NEW 2017 Bitcoin Penny™ Commemorative Coin may indeed look like...



Good luck, everyone!

Regards,
Chris

depends at who its intended for

GASH.. would that work? 0.3

ATTENTION: To insure that your winning NAME choices are legible on the final product, we suggest a maximum of four (4) characters. In rare cases, we MAY be able to fit up to five (5) characters, but only if that NAME choice contains more than one skinny character, such as "MIIIS" or similar. Thank you.

Regards,
Chris

BUCK

Understood. To be on the safe side, I'll have to void the bid. I can't promise at this time that CLUNGE will mint well with such small letters. I'm sure you understand.

Regards,
Chris

my bid only stands if the word clunge works buddy. - you didn't stipulate number of characters in the OP - if this is an issue let me know and ill have to withdraw my bid.

TMAN,

Here's the mock up that you asked for.


However, I believe that six characters on the final product may be too small for most people to read. If you win, then you may wish to limit your choice to 2-4 characters.

Regards,
Chris

I dont want my name - I want CLUNGE on it  - could you mock it up so I can decide how much to bid.

Thanks for the additional bids, everyone!

The NEW 2017 Bitcoin Penny™ Commemorative Coin may look like...







It's anyone's game!

Chris

Thanks for kicking this thing off, Hhampuz! Maybe the NEW 2017 Bitcoin Penny™ Commemorative Coin will look like...



Or perhaps like...


Good luck, gentlemen!

Welcome to the SECOND ANNUAL BitcoinTalk community auction to see YOUR NAME minted on the NEW 2017 Bitcoin Penny™ Commemorative Coin!

Once again, we're auctioning off the space for YOUR NAME (or initials) to be minted on the NEW 2017 Bitcoin Penny™ Commemorative Coin!

What does that mean?

Our inaugural 2015 Bitcoin Penny™ Commemorative Coin (SOLD OUT) had the initials "CJB" minted below the date on the front of the coin. And last year for our 2016 release, we had the grand idea to auction off the same space to one lucky BitcoinTalk community member. The winner and high-bidder of that first annual 2016 auction was DaveF, and he chose to have the word "DAVE" minted on the fronts of all our standard mint 2016 Bitcoin Penny™ Commemorative Coins! (SOLD OUT) And so, our 2016 Bitcoin Penny™ Commemorative Coins featured his name...right on the front! (See the photo above.)

TRIVIA: That's why our standard mint 2016 Bitcoin Penny™ Commemorative Coin is commonly called... the DAVE coin!


In the same tradition of last year, we're minting ONE LUCKY WINNER'S choice of NAME / INITIALS on the fronts of all our standard mint* 2017 Bitcoin Penny™ Commemorative Coins! (That's a few thousand coins!) That's right! The highest bidder in this auction will win the privilege of seeing his / her short name or initials of choice minted on the fronts of at least TWO THOUSAND of our new 2017 Bitcoin Penny™ Commemorative Coins!

What might that look like? Let's see a few examples using some of our recent Bitcoin Penny™ customers:

If forum member chronicsky wins, he might choose to mint "SKY" on our 2017 Bitcoin Penny™ Commemorative Coin. Perhaps greenplastic will win and choose to have "GP" minted on our coin, or buckrogers might win and choose "BUCK" to be minted. The possibilities are endless!**







BONUS: The winning bidder will receive one (1) FREE 2017 Bitcoin Penny™ Classic Roll filled with their very own [YOU] coins as a special THANK YOU!


CLICK HERE for COUNTDOWN TIMER

Start Time: Immediately
End Time: January 26, 2017 @ 10PM EST. (See countdown timer above.)
No-Sniping Rule / Grace Period: There will be a grace period of ten (10) minutes following the last bid. When ten (10) minutes pass without a new bid, the auction will be officially ended. For example, if someone places a bid on January 31 at 9:55PM, then the auction will extend until 10:05PM. If another bid is placed at 10:03PM, then the auction extends until 10:13PM (and so forth).
