Crypto is the separation of Power and State.

- Does this sound like a good idea?
 - What features would make the coin especially interesting?
 - What's the best way to get a coin like this made?

This is a great idea.  Interesting features should include holograms and molds/dies commissioned from the community's favorite artists.

The best way to make a coin like this would be allocation of access to different versions based on rank.

Of course the coins must have "I AM HODLING" repeated around their edges and their owners' forum rank inscribed somewhere.  Cheesy

All versions would have the same front text, which would state the obvious

Quote
Celebrating 10 Year of Bitcoin Talk, 2009-2019

and feature our motto:

Quote
Everyone knows that Bitcoin runs on drama -theymos, Sept 8, 2014

and, in a smaller inscription

Quote
Bcash.  LOL

The 3 versions should ideally be as follows

Regular:

(imagine using a gray metal for the black parts and gold for the white bits)  Shocked
Back design+sticker by Cryptopods + OGNasty.
Value of 2,100 Satoshis on 1oz copper (black ruthenium-plated with gold accents that will look sleek af)


Hero:

Back should a Crypto Imperator hologram on a Kialara die. 
Value of 21,000 Satoshis on 2oz high relief silver w/ gold-plate accents


Legendary:

Back: collaboration between Mike from Casascius and smoothie from Lealana; one designs the hologram and the other sculpts the die.
Value of 21,000,000 Satoshis on 5 oz of silver w/ gold-plate accents


All the drama around this project just makes it too perfect for Bitcoin Talk.  Would we want it any other way?

This reminds me of something I wrote long ago and can't find now, perhaps it should also be on the coins?  Roll Eyes

If their comes one i would make it very special and give them out random/Raffle  
But stricktly to people on the forum with only good and honest intentions of participating @the forum
Those members should be chosen by Some established members and be dropped in a list
Maybe a bit of trusted-with Some earned merit-good active etc
Every section could have a few OG members that could select there part of people they see worthy of being on that list and Then just a fair raffle or something among them.....

I vote for a royal rumble type distribution.  Invite 100 people into the ring, last 10 men/women standing gets a coin.  Meet in Bora Bora for the even funded by the OP, seems like a reasonable solution.  
If we do this like public n shits we could even get trip for participants for free.

Need to build a decision tree here, for starters.

If this is a coin to celebrate "big names", then proceed to path A.

If this is a coin for all Bitcoin Talk members to participate in, then proceed to path B.


The reason we're seeing so many wildly different suggestions is because there's no clear direction from OP.

I say...let everyone be able to buy one at a reasonable cost. I wouldnt mind paying at all. Be fair to let everyone be able to get one and not just a select few. Cheers Cheesy

Oh man, i am not on either of the list, gotta work my way up there soon..

Jokes apart, i think there are lot of good suggestions, maybe have a group of top merits and trust people get together and make a decision to get this rolling.

Can wait to see the coin that comes out of all these decisions.

Why can't we just get a nice coin with zero profits for maker, just paying the manufacturing and expenses in group.  That way we can get a nice silver coin for a bit over it's weight price. Could have somewhat added for design, can't make an opinion.

Never mind Silver.

It seems only proper that any limited offering be minted on, at least 99%+ Au.

Bitcoin is ultimately looking to supplant Au.

It's poetic.

... personally, I would wish for Platinum, but recognize reality being what it is.

I think we could go a bit further down the poetic rabbit hole.  I think theymos should load them with 10BTC each and give them to all staff members (as of this date in case I get booted from being staff some time in the future!), 2 should be given to the P&S mod, because reasons.  Grin

I was thinking a special Staff coin would be cool and a nice gesture  Cheesy.

Maybe one for the top ten merited users also:



Totally not biased or anything.

I haven't read through all this thread yet so I don't know what's been suggested, but maybe a good idea would be to hold some sort of charity raffle for them. That could generate a lot of money and at least go to some good causes.

Definitly eying this thread to see what will happen.
Even though competitions are often frustrating for many participants (only one gets chosen, so a lot of good work is often wasted), I'd personally love to see this happen.

What about a bitcointalk edition from this maker
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/sold-out-genesis-coins-ls-1-sold-out-5116928
Same system to distribute.

EDIT
BTC loaded from user.

I love those coins, but frankly speaking as someone new to crypto sometimes it becomes little tricky with buying other crypto sending it across for loading and all. I have been buying lot of collectibles recently but this one threw me off in terms of what needs to be done., I would prefer, the designer/creator of the coin should charge 1 flat fee that prob includes loading, minting, etc, etc. basically an all inclusive price.

Well going back to the new coin I suggested this, and looks like lot of people liked the idea, I think it's a matter of staff members from forum to make the decision and get the ball rolling with whatever tweaks they wanna make to the suggestion below

We all know of some really experienced collectors and some amazing designers here, by pointing out who should design vs who should not is just not fair among designers.

My suggestion:
1. Create a small group of 10-15 EXPERIENCED and KNOWLEDGEABLE collectors as judges
2. All designers submit their designs to them.
3. After review they can choose whatever number of designs(maybe around 3-5) they choose and create the polls along with/without the prices for the community to choose the final design.
4. For distribution - that's little bit tricky and don't have any idea how to do that, i am sure one of the senior members can chime in new creative idea or probably some way that was used in one of the earlier auctions or sales.


After all this is a community anniversary coin that we are talking about and we should let community choose.

Joking aside, it would be cool to have a little prize pool for a design competition, have a small BTC payment for the winner and smaller payment for X number of "honourable mentions".  I don't think the prize has to be big at all but something would be cool.

So much this.


Also, is this moving forward?
