Topic: Bitcointalk.org collectible coin? (Read 4686 times)

A shame this never happened.  I think a lot of people underestimate the amount of work and investment that goes into a project like this.  Especially when you haven't done it before and have to create all new processes.  A bit of a disappointment that instead of getting help, the project was abandoned as soon as it was realized that it wouldn't be easy.  Hopefully a new respect was found for the coinmakers who have been taking all the financial risk and using their own free time to bring creations like this to life for the community for many years.  I think just bankrolling the project and selecting good creators to make it happen would have been the way forward, but I understand that the 'juice wasn't worth the squeeze' when you are the one putting in the time and money to make it happen for the joy of others and the promotion of Bitcoin. 

Did you even read the 4 posts before yours? FFS, man....

I think @Welsh was the one who took the initiative to find a manufacturer for the physical coin.

The development of the project was quite delayed so I don't know what the final result will be.
Anyway watching both threads for surprises

Is this still in progress? I hope anyone can have a chance to get one or there's no high eligibility to get one 🤔

Actually I wanted to have one.

You guys are super late here - Yogg already held a forum poll/contest and created multiple versions of the 10 year bitcointalk collectible card - Sadly they are all sold out, but here is what it looked like:

Huge Bump..... sorry.

The coin could have a "timelock" on it.
See what @yogg has done with his cryptobonds

Couple of things I like about the coin, is the design and there was an option to have the username etched on it.. Makes it really cool and funding with minimal amount like (.001-.005 btc) gives an added incentive to keep it forever..

So when are we finalizing something on this?

@theymos, great. I wasn't sure of what stance to adopt here.
Allright then, we'll put our plan in motion soon.

Thanks a lot owlcatz and cabalism13 for recommending me and Coldkey.

If I am not mistaken, the forum 10years anniversary is on the 22nd of November, is that it ?

I am still currently handling a backlog of orders, have many things to do, but also have some plans for the 10 years anniversary of Bitcointalk.
Okay, it's not a coin, but it will still be a serialized, physical crypto wallet, with functional keys and all of the Coldkey features.
AND made especially to commemorate the 10 years of Bitcointalk.

When it comes to giveaway coins, I could vouch for Bitcoin Penny for minting those coins. They have done Zepher memorial giveaway coins which was such a good generosity from them by joining with Mantis Prime. I have ordered quite a few coins from them, and we could also suggest them to make some special doodles for these giveaway coins something like a special doodle which will particularly denote each member something like that?  I am not really sure how this will go, but the distribution and handling of coins can be done by Mantis Prime Distribution.

Bitcoin Penny and Polymerbit are indeed great designers themselves so the design for the unique 10^th year anniversary can be done by them instead of relying over someone else. Could they collaborate for the design and coin making process?

If some of the forum members are willing to remain anonymous or not really willing to giveaway their personal address/ PO box addresses to either minerjones/Bitcoin Penny, the can be neglected from joining the giveaway.

The exact giveaway conditions which theymos is talking about could be very much tricky. Each member can never be judged upon any of the criteria like merit, trust, posts etc but one thing which comes to my mind is the "Most Recognized Members" from bpip website. But there does seem to be another problem associated with it such like seasoned collectors would have not received much merits or their name wouldn't be present in "Most Recognized Club" but they should be rewarded with these coins for sure (just my thought).

Well, if you'll gonna still advertise the coin then it will still make sense. We understand that you can't just handle it all, atleast you have given us an idea. Just hoping somebody can come up with a solution to make this happen.
Was also thinking about him for a moment,


 And was also thinking about BitcoinPenny who managed memorial coins of Zepher.

I can relate. It's a big job when it comes down to it....

Anyhow, perhaps @yogg, @polymerbit or another from Collectibles can come up with something for your thread.

Thanks!

I decided that I won't have time to see through the creation of a coin myself. If one or more other people want to create collectibles, I can advertise them into the 10-year-anniversary topic which I will eventually create. And if there's a really good product, I would be willing to partially subsidize the cost of them for the top n forum members, or something in that general vein. But I decided that there'd be far too many things to figure out from scratch with an official forum giveaway (eg. creating the design, getting the coins made, delivering items, safely/privately sharing data with various new service providers, debating exact giveaway conditions, etc.), so if anything is going to be done here, it'll have to be done independently.

Sorry if I got people's hopes up.

second it!

Very cool indeed! Anyone here know Mike from the past should ask!

I wonder if Casascius would create a coin for this? It would probably be worth at least asking him as he has created commerative coins in the past (St. Petersburg coins). Imagine how cool a forum coin made by Mike would be.

I know i def want a 10th anniversary btc talk coin!

Equal value of metal and crypto would be pretty neat, however would make it a bit expensive for silver world wide, this leaves us on to copper for cheap production and cost.
Perhaps higher cost for silver version, I'm certain the member's that bought silver version will be buying the copper version from other's in that case and get a mount of the coins anyhow.

Great idea, would love to see this become a reality

I think a 0.001 or 0.0001 load would be a neat aspect to it as well would love to see my alias etched on a collectible coin too.  Go big or go home! CI if you execute I want one.

fundable anyhow would be way greater, that lil spot to fit the holo.

Edit: whyfhy completly agree with your statement on the post over, .001 and .0001 coins would be fucking amazing.
