Thx, they look nice indeed

Don't let anyone bring you down Hhampuz, you had the balls to create your own coin series and it turned out to be a great success, you should be proud of yourself! For what it's worth, I for one am a big fan of your coins and they always get a lot of likes and positive comments on my Instagram page! So please keep up the good work!

As for Fattcatt's reaction, they are just frustrated that you called them out on how they handled their sale, don't worry about that.

First and most important, I cannot give some real opinion about everybody in collectibles as i'm still pretty new here among you guys, what I do know is that Hhampuz is one of the guys around here that I really like always straight with me and makes no problem with anything thats been asked..., so how is it possible I have not seen any Hhampuz coin and i'm not having one??

post them in here please so I can @least see them


And don't care about the negativity of other members towards you, it can only been seen as some kind of jealousy....

I have repeatedly read how supportive the community is towards you, so the problem cannot lie with you!

Keep up your great stuff, thumbs UP!

+1 I own multiple of your coins and love them. Nothing to worry about

what everyone else said, keep releasing. looks like you have a big fan base here and i will continue to collect your coins.

what happened to fattcatt?

Change your tampon mate. Your gear is good, we all know it tell fattcatt to suck on one of your snow dildo’s. We know you still got your freezer stocked for your summer freaky fix.

Seriously man, you have come on as a decent maker don’t take one Haters word to heart

"We ALL think it"...Not sure who she's talking about as I've yet to hear anyone say anything negative about your series, or even hint at it being a stolen/plagiarized idea.

"Be Your Own Bank" is certainly a popular BTC saying, and not something anyone owns. It's no different than people adding "Vires In Numeris" to their coins (which many have). I don't see it as anything more than a way to attack you and your reputation.

Because of everyone's opionon here it made me purchase one of these from hhampuz, to my understanding he doesn't have that many left :0

This is my first purchase of this series!

I own the entire series, multiples of some, so obviously I am a fan.

Love the series!!  I own them all. 

Be your own bank fits perfect on the coin and i like the designs. It is a slogan indeed and wildly used as you can see by this tweet.

Thanks guys, much love <3

Don't let someone get under your skin. All creations are subject to critisizm.

That said, there's a reason I own multiple sets of the BYOB released, they're worthy of collecting  

+1

I said it before and I will say it again: I am impressed by the silver coin quality AND I really enjoy the BYOB theme you build around them. Already looking forward to add a 4th one to my current collection.
Also, regarding the plagiarism concerns: Artists copy and re-build and restructure old ideas all the time. I actually believe without it, there wouldn't be any progress at all - even the greatest artists "stole" and re-processed "old" ideas constantly (somtimes consciously, sometimes unconsciously). It's a totally natural part of any creative process and anyone stating otherwise just does not know much about them - but of course that's just my personal opinion.

That being said, don't waste too much energy on negative input - it will always be a part of life, but not worth paying too much attention to it.

I feel that you are worried about something that just is not the case!

People love your releases. You'd be made aware of it from multiple members if it was the contrary.

There will always be people with a critical view point, it's just how it is.

Hhampuz generally speaking not 100% of the people you encounter will like you, like what you do, etc.  Brush it off as some sort of backlash for some reason and walk past it.  Sounds like a vindictive comment to me.  To state "we talk about it and we ALL think it", I dont know what circles they run in but everyone I talk to like the coins you've put out.  I love them, they are clean af.  And one of the only makers on this board making coins with a theme behind it relevant to the btc/fiat difference.  Short of it is brush it off, I've bought each of your releases and plan on buying them going forward I like your line of coins.  

Keep up the good work bud, I very much like your BYOB series.

Love your coins...one will always find naysayers no matter how good a product is. Even the great artist Michelangelo had been criticised when he made David as per the book by Irving Stone..in the Agony and the Ecstasy...I looked up the story on the net and I think its a good read for you. Cheers!

Michelangelo Takes Criticism
 
When Michelangelo was finishing the David, along came Piero Soderini, the town mayor or boss, to have a look. Michelangelo had put a canvas around the scaffolding so no one could watch him work. He didn’t like gawkers and he didn’t like intruders, not even patron intruders. So when he saw that canvas flap open and the mayor come in, though he had to smile, he must have cursed to himself.
Piero Soderini put on the show of the art connoisseur, walking around under the huge figure. “It’s coming along wonderfully,” said Piero Soderini. “But do you know what? The nose is too thick.”
Criticism like that must have made the irascible Master’s blood boil. He knew that from where Soderini was standing it was impossible to judge whether the nose or anything else was right. “Well, we’ll fix that right now,” he said; and quickly grabbing a hammer and chisel, climbed up the scaffold like a monkey. Clink, clink—Soderini heard the hammer against the chisel and saw marble dust fall. Clink some more. “How’s that?” Michelangelo called down from the scaffold. Of course he hadn’t touched the figure at all but only pretended to be altering the nose.
“Oh, that’s much better!” exclaimed the mayor. “Now you’ve really put life into it

I thought your coins promoted bitcoin with a clear message, with a great entry level price and not gouged to high hell.
