A lady was walking some dogs by our house the other day. I wasn't really paying attention, as we live on an active corner.
My child started to point at the dogs and I looked over and.....
The lady had 2 Shiba Inus dogs. I had never seen one and immediately went and grabbed one of my awesome SHIBANU coins.
I showed her and she thought it very "cool" that someone would put her dog on a coin....I laughed and began to explain.
Yadda, yadda, yadda..........Now someone else knows of these great coins and Dogecoin/bitcoin!!
Very awesome when digital and physical collide.
Shiny Shibe, Much Wow!!
Thanks
I agree, awesome story! I would be willing to bet that was the first and will probably be the last time that someone approached that lady with a coin bearing a stylized portrait of her dog!
@Shibanu- I really liked the 2 coins of yours that I received in a trade from Pistachio, great job on your first series! Hoping to buy a few more soon if possible.
Thank you for your kind words. We are glad that you like them.
Remember that we are only a PM or website click away
Loaded and ready to rock!!!
This was my first ever attempt at making a public address and private key combo.
Only problem was getting the address to sit and then applying the hologram over the private key. I cut off the "K" at the end of the address.... oh well.
I was even able to shrink down a QR code for the private key and it fit nicely into the regress on the back.
Thanks
It looks great! Happy to see someone using their wallet already
A little tip for next time, print the firstbits a few times on a number of lines. You can also use tweezers to hold it in place when applying the hologram. It doesn't always stay straight though as you can see from our pictures in the OP.
I just noticed that the OP has many coins that already have addresses/first bits available.
Are these coins loaded?
Are they part of the 500 coin mintage or were they some kind of the prototype?
Are they available for purchase?
Thank you
Haha. We were waiting for someone to ask. These coins are part of the 500 and some are currently being kept away. We intended to sell loaded coins at first but decided that we would only want to sell them if they were perfect. These coins have different private keys (some have a full 64 character private key and others have shorter mini keys). When we tried cutting the keys, we did everything by hand and the cuts weren't so clean. We were worried that the keys may have been illegible so decided against selling them.
Hopefully that explains it
