Topic: BTC engagement ring? (Read 4152 times)
It sounds cool, but that would be too much pressure in a relationship. Also, if the rings are too recognizable, they could kidnap you and ask your wife for the other ring to get your money. Don't wanna wear "hey I have BTC" recognizable shit.
a pretty good idea, why not use the logo bitcoin? it would be better in my opinion 
but still good
but still good
so I guess g*y proposal might suit it very much.
What is this G * Y thing you talk about?
I mean the idea is perfect for a nerd proposing to another nerd. But it's hard to find female nerd in this community so I guess g*y proposal might suit it very much.
But can't say that I don't like the innovation.

Whoah, didn't expect this thread to get resurrected! Creator of the ring here! First of all, check out the latest version of the ring at TheBTCRing.com, made in silver! It looks MUCH better than the original.

Though her ring does look quite nice, I think, I believe I'm getting much more enjoyment out of my ring than she is, which she's worried about wearing anywhere or losing.
Had a friend who was like this - except for expensive watches. He was always kind of scared that someone would rob him - esp at night when he was partying and so forth.
@OP: I have to say I really dislike the design - it looks way too cheesy - trying too hard to somehow shove a Bitcoin address on the ring. It's not as elegant or clean as a normal wedding ring to be brutally honest. Guys, lets be serious here, not everything in the world has to be about Bitcoin. You don't see people walking around with a ring showing off USDs on it do you.
I don't really get why you would want to get money involved with this?
Money is involved either way. Diamonds aren't cheap, you know.At least with a BTC ring you can e.g. use a 2 of 3 multisig wallet, give her a key (telling her it's a 2 of 2!) and keep the third key yourself.
I don't care that much for diamonds, either. But at least they're considered beautiful by a majority of people. This thing looks rather clunky
Oh and cheating your spouse at the time of the marriage isn't a very good foundation for a long-lasting relationship, I guess
Totally agree with you.
As a male geek, I could't appreciate such a ring either. An important part of the value of a diamond ring is to be shown off in a party. How could one show off a stupid QR code?
An easy improvement is to create an ordinary ring, and put the QR code at the bottom (if it's big enough). If someone is interested, the owner can take it off and show the QR code.
As much as I love Bitcoin and Crypto, my wife would not say "Yes" if I proposed to her with that minecraft ring.
She'd probably throw it in ocean, smack me upside the head, then leave me in Aruba when I proposed to her 7 years ago.
Women are silly like that...aesthetics matter to them!

Hmmm? How is this a minecraft ring? It is just a Bitcoin ring, or rather a ring with a bitcoin address in form of a QR-code.
I find it hard to believe that men don't care for aesthetics. I mean, come on... seriously?
I was planning on buying my girlfriend an engagement ring with bitcoins. I doubt I would buy the one from OP's posts since it doesn't look that great 
. The idea is awesome though.

Hopefully after time they will be able to make the ring prettier somehow. I realize that put your QR code on it is pretty difficult, while still trying to make it look wearable, but idk any girl that would wear that. I might put it on when I go to a BTC related event or conference, but other than that it will stay at home. The commercial made me laugh though. I even tweeted about it, lol. @cryptokenzi
Update, this website doesn't work. I can't see a way to get an .stl file for my address or any other. Yes, my gf is into crypto and she said if I load two months salary on the ring she'll wear it.
Two months of salary on a ring finger could get some people mugged for their ring
haha thats dope! :-)
meh, I'm more interested in block chain backed wedding licenses... not that I'd convince my gf to accept either of these ideas.
That's really cool...
Maybe I'll buy one (Eventually), maybe not...

Hey guys, I am the creator of the theBTCring.com. I'm just letting you know I am serious about making a reasonable version of everything. The site is still under construction and I am working on the "next iteration" which will include a better/sturdier ring.

It's a niche area for Bitcoin I guess and I can see a lot of people wanting this service since they'll be earning quite a bit from Bitcoin.
Its a cool idea, although I would never wear something like that. It is definitely interesting though. People could draw other ideas off of that too (like putting barcode on the backside of their watch or something)
I'm going to print one of these as soon as I size the ring finger of my girlfriend.
You may need to find another girlfriend after doing this. Are you both into cryptocurrencies? Otherwise it may just appear to be something eerie and strange.
