It's a good question. I've had a natty based forum handle since 2004. It was originally because I used to drink way too much natural light beer. It has sinced evolved within myself as a state of mind and a affirmation of my online identity. Specifically NLC reflects my commitment to the digital currency movement. The NattyDreadOne, or Bob Marley, was quite outspoken against government corruption and false prophets. I believe in resisting against the corruptions of our time (our world banking system) and false prophets (attributing In God we trust to our monies) I believe in acknowledging interpretations of God through mathematics and technologies resulting in human generated proof. With proof, humans can absolutely trust. Thus my signature.

I digress. Mindtrip is also developing some addresses that may be intertwined in the collection or be used for follow on projects. Once we agree to the initial design, we owe the community a deployment strategy and funding plan.

PS i heard there's something coming up in July that may significant😜

What made you go the vanity address route, because they'll be super expensive and "exclusive"? I don't get what "Natty" even means, but for some reason my mind seems to associate it with negative things (looks close to not or nitty?) I get it that Casascius, Lealana, etc are all made up names but they seem to flow off the tongue more easily.

natty1/ˈnati/
adjective
(of a person or an article of clothing) smart and fashionable.
 
natty2/ˈnati/
adjective
(among Rastafarians) denoting hair that is uncombed or matted, as in dreadlocks.
 

My money is on the first ?  Grin

(1) Primary impression will be released on Friday.
(2) Hologram implementation is in work, may take more than a month to finalize. I reached out to user bigtimespaghetti for assistance.
(3) XNaTTy(1-Z) vanity, for the first 36, maintaining NATTYMIND  brand of course.  Thank you to user OGN.

Stay tuned.

Do you know if you can generate with ASICS?

I found this:
ASIC = Application Specific Integrated Circuit

The application of block header hashing is not even remotely similar to the application of EC point multiplication.

So, while the literal answer to your question is that yes, you can use ASICs for vanity address searching, the answer that you are really looking for is that no, the specific ASICs you already have are not suitable.

EDIT: Also here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/17dyo5/with_modification_would_i_be_able_to_use_an_asic/


Aren't the chips in Video Cards technically  ( ASIC )  Chips HuhHuh

I've been told it's going to take approximately 88 years to generate those addresses, will reassess with 4x280x on the job.

Alternatives are
XNaTTy(1-Z)
XMiNdTrIp (1-Z)

Thoughts?


XMiNdTrIp will also take a lot of time to generate.
You should go with XNaTTy.

Generating Addresses starting tonight,

1NaTTyMind
LNaTTyMind

The serial numbers will be 1-Z, or QTY 36 initial release. Metal(s) and size TBD. I will have the preliminary carbon design by Friday afternoon and then we can get down business!

A peak.

Ah, Come on fortify, im a little better than a nobody😟

Everyone sit tight for the design and we'll chat. Regardless of the number of the run, the dies cost is the same. Put get interest for more than 10, shit if I get interest for 50, that will change the strategy of course and may be the project will end up as a 2oz silver. I just assumed only 10 people would want this example😜

Star Wars Ep. 9 is here
Personally, I'd rather not prefer another 5 oz Silver like the Nastyfans 5 Seat (aka the Hockey Puck).  I find it rather large, and less coin, and more of a medallion.  Just my preference, not meant in any way a jab at their coins.  I collect most all of theirs.

A 2oz Platinum is likely more expensive than people wish to commit, with a somewhat new/less known seller.  For example, gravitate (microsoul) is very well known and is going with a 1/4oz Platinum I believe.

I would suggest around a 1oz Silver (or 1/4 oz up to 2oz) , which is a more safe bet and common size/material.

While I appreciate smaller runs of under 25 coins, just note that the smaller the run, the more cost each coin has to absorb for minting, dies, and holos.  10 coins is a very small run, which creates rarity, but certainly costs per unit go up.

You may wish to refer to bigtimespaghetti's guide and/or service.

Found a reasonable price with an established mint today and initiating the design. I hope to have Mindtrip's approval within a weeks time. As soon as I meet with the artist over the weekend, I'll leak some design info as well. I encourage you to evaluate it with and without pants on. The cost for developing the dies are no joke. I was not expecting it to be so expensive. Nothing has been set in stone, but my gorilla math yields a Projection: 1.75BTC per 5oz silver or 8.25BTC per 2oz platinum. The coins will be 63.5mm or 39mm respectively in the mint finish you'd expect of a treasure.

My intent is making ZERO profit from this project, amortizing the costs against the limited run, and be completely transparent to any investor. While we've never done this before, we've never let any one down to my recollection. You have to start somewhere I guess, and I hope the client base appreciates our initial offering. I'm looking at 75 days  to get these guys tied up in a knot to your door. I hear the requests for unloaded examples and that will likely be the path for coins 2-10 (or beyond, I already have 3 non-forum interests). However, the first one is going to be special, wait for it.

Peace, NLC


Not too sure you are taking the advice others have given onboard, you still seem to be adamant on a 5 oz silver or 2 oz platinum when everyone is warning you off it. I'm a nobody here, as are you, so you have very little reputation around here to fall back on. I would say an oversized coin (bigger than 1 oz) will be a tough sell and doesn't "fit in" with other collectibles.

You deserve to make a small profit on it, but a tiny run of ten will prevent that..

Thanks again for all the replies, in a life of mundane work and parenthood, it's crypto and community that keeps me ticking as an individual and pleased to have met a user like mindtrip to enjoy this hobby with.

(1) I've established an artist, I hope a carbon design will be available for feedback within two weeks.
(2) I will need a graphic designer to quickly turn around the paper product (BTC/LTC compensated)
(3) The coin will be designed to store LTC and BTC, pre-loading of the coin TBD.
(4) The metal is TBD✌

I look forward to interacting with fine people as this project evolves. It's not an if, it's a when. I'm excited about the design and I can't wait to share it.

Peace, NLC


I hope you'll sell the unloaded coins as well.
I would prefer buying the unloaded one and then load it myself.

Thanks

I'm glad you've decided to have the coin store BTC as well, as I think it appeals to a larger audience Smiley

That is hard time to invest in platinum coins - Pt is on rally

I hope you have bought metal when it was ~$ 850

I would buy a 2oz/5oz silver coin with a 50 LTC denomination of the price was fair.
The problem with small minting runs is that the cost is divided by the limited coins and there's no widespread absorption of the cost. Factor in the other costs such as the design, shipping, assembly and then the markup, you end up with a highly overpriced coin that few people can afford.

I wish you luck.  It is inevitable that a platinum coin will be produced by this community and I hope it's a good one.  It may seem expensive now, but that could change after the halving. Smiley
