2 SIDED ENGRAVED 1oz .999 SILVER ROUND!

PAYMENTS TO 168WXhArv7Fasqvi2xm5MQMfLhG18jifMe ONLY!!!!

I am auctioning a chance to be the purchaser of a first prototype custom wallet.  You choose 2 coin types (BTC, LTC, NMC), select their vanity prefixes, & name the coin!

As the winner of this auction you will receive 1 custom engraved 1oz .999 silver coin.  Each side of the coin will be covered with a NastyFans hologram and engraved with a separate vanity address type of your choosing.  Upon winning, you will select 2 of 3 available coin types (BTC, LTC, NMC).  You will then select your vanity address prefixes by selecting 7 characters for BTC addresses, and 6 characters for LTC or NMC addresses.  You may also include a short saying or name on one side of the coin.  As a prototype, you can expect such details like an indention for the hologram to be omitted.

Let's keep the party going, this is certainly going to be impressive:

Time to make a small batch instead?

I second that! I want 2 of them :) (for my kids).

I'm in. I'd love one or two of these for the collection  :)
Do it!

Part of the reason why I did this prototype auction was to see how much effort is involved with taking this level of customization from the buyer to a finished product.  If it is indeed not a painstaking effort, I could see myself minting a batch of coins with things like a hologram indention, custom hologram, and stamped coin weight/purity markings.  If those things aren't important to you, I am open to making more prototypes like this one as I fine tune my process.  Let's see where this auction ends first.  I'm sure the time involved in something like this is underestimated by many and I will no doubt run into things I hadn't anticipated when first going through the process.

Holy crap...  OK then...  I don't want to anger Arnold...  You win!

Starting at 0.3 BTC, I will honor every auction "bid" as a prototype purchase (limit 10).

Do you mean that the first ten to respond with a bid of 0.3BTC will get a set?

Edit: if yes - 0.3BTC

I don't want to exclude TheNewAnon, so he gets the first one at 0.3 BTC.  There are 9 remaining.  Every bid can be considered a purchase starting with 0.31 BTC.

0.32BTC

How much work goes into finding addresses with 7 chosen firstbits?
Namely, is it a time consuming mission with 7? I've never tried!  :)

Is it allowed to purchase 2 coins? I want one for each of my sons :)

It can take me up to a month depending on a few factors.  That is with running 5 GPUs.  Most of the time it is only about a week though.  I don't mind it for BTC because I'm running vanitygen 24/7 anyway, but I requested only 6 character vanity addresses for the alts because I have to run those exclusively for this project.

Sure, just put in a second bid.

Thank you for the explanation sir, much appreciated :)
Knowing that, I am more than happy that this personalised item represents value for money.
Now to think about my vanity gen... 8)

Also while choosing your addresses, remember that:

I've got a small request. Is it possible to switch the bottom texts? I'd like to have the name under the Bitcoin address instead of the Litecoin address.

I'd prefer that aswell :)

Not a problem at all.  You don't even need to select Bitcoin as one of your wallet options.  :)

Alright, I'll take one.

Is that a 0.34 bid?  :)

Buyers so far:

sure

Is 2 bitcoin addresses on 1 coin also possible? I'm not really into altcoins.

Great!

Please make sure to not send payment to anyone who asks for it via PM.  The only address that payments will be asked to go to is 168WXhArv7Fasqvi2xm5MQMfLhG18jifMe.

I'll take 1, next bid required to take it

Well, that isn't what I had in mind, but I can't think of a reason to tell you no, so I'll allow it!

Any manufacturer funding options, or Lealana like self funding prior to shipping ? Is there any planned denom(s), or entirely flexible ?

Can the text at the bottom be custom both sides ? (what is the character limit ?)

Can the wallet addresses for both sides be fully customised ? 7 chars for bitcoin wallets ... potentially 2 of them ... I guess 1ABCDEF ie 6 vanity chars, or 1ABCDEFG ie 7 vanity chars ?
**EDIT ... case sensitive ? **

Can see this ending up a bit like my custom Lealana set, I did for my son  ;D

These are the kinds of questions that made me want to do a prototype as I new I would encounter things I hadn't thought of.

The funding options are flexible.  I don't really see a point in funding prior to shipping, but I'm willing to fund them from my address with any amount you'd like.  I'd rather do it after you received the coin to decrease postal risk, but with these prototypes I certainly have room to customize each order.  There is no planned denomination.  That is entirely up to the buyer.

I'd rather keep text to 1 side as I feel the 1oz .999 FINE SILVER marking is important.  Again, I'm willing to be flexible on these.  I also don't want to put a character limit, but the more characters, the smaller your text will be.  If you put a sentence on there and it comes out as an unreadable line, that is on you and would be a casualty of the prototype model.  I can of course send images first before I engrave.

Yes, full vanity address customization.  This include case sensitivity.

I'll take one too. 0.36 BTC

Once we hit 10 buyers, I will post payment and order instructions in this thread.  Be safe and watch out for imposters via PM!

One thing I didn't get is the bidding, if there are 10 coins will they all go for 0.30 or each one needs to increase the bid?
Wouldn't mind 0.30 instead of 0.36. But let me know.

Ok got it, so looks like there's 2 left if one is taking 2 coins.  :)

I'll send the payment in a bit and PM you the txid :).

I've just sent out proofs to most of you to be approved.  

Last chance to grab one of the 2 remaining spots.

Not received anything here OgNasty.
Cheers

I'm still generating one of your addresses.  I should have it in the next day or two and will forward a proof for you to approve.

Ah, that would be it then :)
Thought I'd been excluded :'( haha.
Thanks for the update!

My coin arrived today :D. I love it!

Mine arrived today too :D
Very happy, thank you Og!

Mine arrived safe and solid. ;)

BTC + LTC on the same coin  8)

Marks and scuffs are reflections... too shiny to take pics under light.
