Topic: Physical Bitcoin Design Finalists - Cast Your Vote Now! - Ends 10th September 14 (Read 19794 times)

Looking great.  Seems to show all the detail of the gears. 

We thought it might be nice to share these photos with everyone.  They are photos of our 5 BTC piece struck in brass for sample purposes.  It’s looking very nice indeed.  We have requested a few changes to be made (enhancing of detail in various parts of the coin & changing the date to 2015).  We expect to have the final sample for approval within 2-3 weeks.  From that point on its all systems go!

Anyway here are the pictures, enjoy!

Checkout the beautiful gold Bitcoin now on their site - 2oz of solid gold/5BTC - click the link in the comments section of the video.

the 2 ounce silver (2BTC) will have the same design as the 2 ounce gold (5BTC)

The 1 ounce silver (1BTC) will have the same design as the 1 ounce gold (1BTC)

the 0.10 and 0.50 coins will have different designs as designed by the community


Hope that helps

The coin looks amazing.  Your website mentions other gold and silver Bitcoins as well.  Will they have the same design?

That really looks amazing.
Definitely the nicest looking physical Bitcoin to date.
Great work again

I am pleased to be able to share these pictures with you.  This solid coin will be going into production and be available to pre-order from our website early next week.  More information will be coming next week.  Thank you to everyone that helped make this possible, we are extremely excited to be producing this stunning coin!

This image was actually an unfinished image that was tweeted by mistake.  Gives you all a sneak peek but the finished one is much more polished.  We should have this coin ready to be announced on monday and production will also start on monday next week as well

Thank you

I have purchased many of Coinographics Coins ( 3 x 25LTC, 2 X 10LTC-Chickun, 2 x 10LTC LA, 2 x 1LTC) and can not wait to get some Physical Bitcoins, the quality and finish of the coins I have are amazing!

I like it too

It looks like a render but nonetheless looks amazing.
All Coinographics coins to date look extremely impressive. I doubt this one will be any different.
Great design!

Wow..just wow! This is going to look amazing!

Just not sure is this already real coin or just rendered?

Lol.. yes.
Totally my bad; I assumed you posted the pic. Apologies..

Still; I dont understand how bonk copied from that design; please elaborate? There are several coins (serpcoin, Silver Wallets, New Liberty Dollar, and
others that have a B on a world map.

Are you retarded elianite? I only posted the link!!!
But your link is better - it proves bonksnp2 design is stolen.
Coinographic we call for the disqualification of bonksnp2!!!

The Heck is this?!

Poly-coin team literally used the SILVER WALLETS design and changed the text
See the original: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=525756.0;topicseen
Then they used a Casascius v1 hologram and altered the bottom portion a bit.
Amateurs...

Get off these forums.

Your link points to a coin design that was posted today, so maybe they stole bonksnp2's design, not the other way around?

bonksnp2 design is stolen!!!!! : https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/1-oz-solid-silver-btc-with-built-in-wallet-balance-claim-yours-now-785893

He should be disqualified immediatly. Coinographic you should demand that bonksnp2 sends you back the 0.25BTC and then distrubute it amongst the designers from 5 place!!!

+1 Received bounty. Would submit again. 5 stars. Thanks Coinographic.

Sorry all, but I don't think giving more weight to designer votes would solve anything. It would make the problem worse. The most glaring issue would be having one designer use multiple accounts and submit a bunch of crap and then vote for the best design of his alts. The other obvious issue would be back room deals among other designers who are already in a clique. I think this would make the vote less fair in the end. Back to square one.

Vote manipulation is hard to solve. I think account dates and post counts are one solution, but this too can create problems if only a small segment of one community is voting. Maybe opening the competition up to more communities (even non bitcoin communities) and then  randomly selecting which community votes for which designs or combine all the designs for one vote would help average the vote out somewhat and make any manipulation more obvious. Of course this would also likely bring in more designs and make the competition harder to win. Which is a bad for all of the us, but good for the competition.  It would probably be a big headache for coinographic and create extra work, but it would be more fair and create more publicity for their business. If you weigh votes I think coinographic staff and customers who previously bought coins from them should have the most weight in the end.

But that is just my two cents.

I think Mr Bau's coin design will turn out fine and look great. Can't wait to see the final product.

We have taken a lot of advice on this matter and can confirm the fine detail of the cogs are possible to make on a coin. Granted it does increase production cost and time but we are not making this coin for the budget collector. No expense will be spared in ensuring the finished product is anything short of flawless.


We look forward to being able to publish the finished design and sending it into production towards the end of this month.

We have already made good progress and it's looking amazing!

Watch this space

Yeah; it was a crazy time. A contest I'l never forget
