1) make some limited where are founded  and another not founded.
2) Silver looks better Smiley

3) Engraving for whoever wants it.

I forgot more than you will ever know.
I am just discovering this and theymos' thread.

I love the idea, however I am not fond of the graphics at all. I'd be way happier with something more classic, or maybe with a hat on it? Cheesy

I love this motto and whole thread:

I am pretty confident we are the new wealthy elite, gentlemen.
Why not use something like this? It's also made by an Anonymous Guest on 2011 Wink !

My suggestions:
1) Funded
2) Silver (or a mixture of several metals)
3) Engraving for whoever wants it (but much better a limited edition without it)

Not to shit on the design, but beyond the small fine print on the back of the coin, how is this related to Bitcointalk specifically? The core image from the design was used for a Reddit ad and the last thing I'd want to be reminded of when I buy a BCT commemorative coin is Reddit or the the echochamber circlejerk that is /r/bitcoin (guys, I like Bitcoin as well but I don't feel the need to downvote every single post that criticises it, points out flaws or posts bad news).

While Reddit has it's positives, it's negatives and the fact that it's not Bitcointalk really does make this design feel off.

The pics in the OP look fantastic. If theymos was to give the OP the go ahead I think the idea was for theymos to select around 100 established accounts & pay for them to be done with forum funds before behind distributed.

I just wonder who theymos would select as supposed deserved recipients of the commemorative coins?

Why just 100 accounts? That sounds a lot like DT1 only coin. I don't know If that's what theymos wants. There are many DT2 members who would want one.

The design is super good. I want one.

Make it silver with some gold plating.

At first I thought this topic was about digital coins/tokens concerning Bitcointalk. I was ready to lose my shit and talk trash to OP. Well done to the designs though.

Welcome to the SaltySpitoon, how Tough are ya?
Keep in mind that premiums on physical crypto are literally insane, and only willing to be paid by a small group of fanatical collectors. It takes a lot of effort to fund/hologram/customize each coin with understandably drives up the cost of production. I could be wrong, but If you want it to be a Bitcointalk coin that just general users buy, you are going to have to keep costs low enough that people outside of the collectibles market don't laugh themselves into a coma. If its going to be a small limited batch for the collectibles section folk, I suppose go ahead with any plans to denominate/fund/hologram/customize with names.

Just something to consider

Love the design/image
No etching/engraving...
No hologram or DIY....
No keys/addresses...

This needs to be a token that every person on the forum can afford and want. Cheesy
Damn there seems to be a bunch of posts about this, but why so hard to have small spot for holo on the back.


Sure... have a hologram..

Who's assembling thousands of these coins?

What if each user that wanted one stakes an address and pay from it to theymos, after enough has been raised to make it cheap enough then we could look further, like it might take a while but it will be worth it.

I remember the movie of The Hobbit on the design of the coin, and its really cool.
Its ok if its not funded, made of silver, and have an option of engraving or no engraving.
I would love to order in the future, so I will watch this thread until we have a final thread of this.

The design looks great, but have you contacted drawing author for permission to use his intellectual property?

I see you offer an option to fund it btc. When money got involved, wont this redditor ask for a "peace of a pie" ?

Please, take some time to read the rest of the thread as the issues has already been discussed before, for reference: https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/7jj0oa/im_donating_5057_btc_to_charitable_causes/dr6syg7/?context=3

The creator does not want any type of retribution for it.

I really like the design, I'm already wondering how the wizard would look on an actual coin.
Anyway here's what I think:

Not funded, to keep the price down
Preferably silver
No engraving, again to keep the price down.

This would be great if theymos had put a green light or somehow named you officially as the maker and distributor of collectible token because if not you are just selling and distributing an unofficial token of BCT. Maybe the next step for you is to talk to theymos personally so that you can officially affiliate the token to BCT. Also when looking at the medium article you provided the image of the Wizard King is created by South Park Digital Studios and my concern is have you asked their permission to use the image freely and with consent? Because we all know that the BCT community is strongly against plagiarism and that also includes copyright of images, we don't really want our community being associated with a stolen image for our official token.

Thanks for your comment!

I have PM'd theymos, hopefully he will reply with what he thinks.

Regarding the image, I think you got confused. South Park drawers were inspired by the original Bitcoin Wizard, not the other way around. So there are no possible claims, moreover the drawing "owner" does not accept donations nor retributions from it.

I personally don't think it should be funded.

I have little suggestion on design. You may create the logo similar to the bitcoin with axe kind hitting on it with the bitcointalk text flying around there. I mean it closely need to show similarity with mining kind of axe and bitcoin.

Coin can be Silver or Brass

Engraved likely great.
