Welcome to the SECOND ANNUAL BitcoinTalk community auction to see YOUR NAME minted on the NEW 2017 Bitcoin Penny™ Commemorative Coin!

Once again, we're auctioning off the space for YOUR NAME (or initials) to be minted on the NEW 2017 Bitcoin Penny™ Commemorative Coin!

What does that mean?

Our inaugural 2015 Bitcoin Penny™ Commemorative Coin (SOLD OUT) had the initials "CJB" minted below the date on the front of the coin. And last year for our 2016 release, we had the grand idea to auction off the same space to one lucky BitcoinTalk community member. The winner and high-bidder of that first annual 2016 auction was DaveF, and he chose to have the word "DAVE" minted on the fronts of all our standard mint 2016 Bitcoin Penny™ Commemorative Coins! (SOLD OUT) And so, our 2016 Bitcoin Penny™ Commemorative Coins featured his name...right on the front! (See the photo above.)

TRIVIA: That's why our standard mint 2016 Bitcoin Penny™ Commemorative Coin is commonly called... the DAVE coin!


In the same tradition of last year, we're minting ONE LUCKY WINNER'S choice of NAME / INITIALS on the fronts of all our standard mint* 2017 Bitcoin Penny™ Commemorative Coins! (That's a few thousand coins!) That's right! The highest bidder in this auction will win the privilege of seeing his / her short name or initials of choice minted on the fronts of at least TWO THOUSAND of our new 2017 Bitcoin Penny™ Commemorative Coins!

What might that look like? Let's see a few examples using some of our recent Bitcoin Penny™ customers:

If forum member chronicsky wins, he might choose to mint "SKY" on our 2017 Bitcoin Penny™ Commemorative Coin. Perhaps greenplastic will win and choose to have "GP" minted on our coin, or buckrogers might win and choose "BUCK" to be minted. The possibilities are endless!**







BONUS: The winning bidder will receive one (1) FREE 2017 Bitcoin Penny™ Classic Roll filled with their very own [YOU] coins as a special THANK YOU!

*NOTE: This auction is for our standard mint coin only, which shall comprise the majority of our 2017 Bitcoin Penny™ Commemorative Coins with a guaranteed minimum quantity of 2,000 minted and released.

**NOTE: We reserve the right to refuse any choice of initials which we deem to be morally offensive (ex. ASS) or unfavorable to bitcoin or the bitcoin community. Additionally, each new year must be represented by a new name or set of initials. Since "CJB" and "DAVE" have been used for years 2015 and 2016 (respectively), those choices are invalid for the 2017 Bitcoin Penny™ Commemorative Coin.

Additionally, to insure that your winning NAME choice is legible on the final product, we suggest a maximum of four (4) characters. In rare cases, we MAY be able to fit up to five (5) characters, but only if that NAME choice contains more than one skinny character, such as "MIIIS" or similar.

***NOTE: We reserve the right to reject any bid / bidder in any matter of good conscience.

Thanks for kicking this thing off, Hhampuz! Maybe the NEW 2017 Bitcoin Penny™ Commemorative Coin will look like...



Or perhaps like...


Good luck, gentlemen! ;)

Chris

Thanks for the additional bids, everyone!

The NEW 2017 Bitcoin Penny™ Commemorative Coin may look like...







It's anyone's game!

Regards,
Chris

I dont want my name - I want CLUNGE on it  - could you mock it up so I can decide how much to bid.

TMAN,

Here's the mock up that you asked for.


However, I believe that six characters on the final product may be too small for most people to read. If you win, then you may wish to limit your choice to 2-4 characters.

Regards,
Chris

my bid only stands if the word clunge works buddy. - you didn't stipulate number of characters in the OP - if this is an issue let me know and ill have to withdraw my bid.

Understood. To be on the safe side, I'll have to void the bid. I can't promise at this time that CLUNGE will mint well with such small letters. I'm sure you understand.

Chris

Regards,

Could you mock up ALLS please

Sure, so when we include the big BTC in the center of the coin, it'll read BTCALLS?  :D


Regards,
Me

Balls @ .37

I believe that we can accept ALLS as a valid choice. ;)

Chris

Irie 0.38BTC

Excited for the new 2017 penny, gotta add to my collection...

so awesome lol :)

made me laugh!

my name is BUCK and i'm here for ......LUCK :)

I dont think I can top "BALLS" :)

Watching.
Best of luck on your release, Bitcoinpenny.
Will definitely love to add these to my collection. :)

Thanks, cryptoheadd. :)

Regards,
Me

I so want Balls on this coin - but if people have sentimental reasons for any name chosen please speak out...

Well, it depends how BIG you wanna go? :)

your request is just your name, ill keep going big boy... if someone wants to name a coin after a dead relative or dog.. then i will feel like a prick if I keep going - so speak out

If i had a dead dog his name would have been BUCK lol, jk as i know how you roll with the 'balls' lol the big was rhetorical :)

F*CK balls - might just go XMR if I Win!!

XERO @0.45BTC

We have to admit, XERO does look pretty cool...


Regards,
Me

ALLS @ 0.5BTC

Could you get "agina" in there?  :P

Regardless of who wins, I look forward to adding the 2017 Bitcoin Penny to my collection!

Unfortunately, the space is too tight for me to fit it in. ;)

Regards,
Me

what would the mock up look like with "ONG" ? :)

Regards,
Me

XERO @ 0.55BTC

Could you mock up 'MIKE'? Might sell some XMR for this auction ;D

ALLS 1BTC

Wow... the price has already doubled last years winning bid and it's just day one? :P

XERO @ 1.25 BTC

ALLS @ 1.5BTC

Let's go with your balls then.

knew the "found" 50BTC was a lie - seems like you don't have any BALLS! big balls wins again!

I can guarantee that statement is incorrect. this is fun - you are all talk and no trousers.. put your "hacked" BTC where your mouth is...

Christ. 0.075BTC per penny. However, I'm not sure if I would want BALLS written on my coins as a company. :P

The MIKE coin...  ;)


Regards,
Me

seeing as Gobby has backed out again. looks like I will win this... so...

any chance of moving the BTC on the left of the coin up a bit - then having Big Balls across the coin? think that would be awesome...

LOL Sorry, we can't mint BIG BALLS across the coin. LMAO  ;)

Regards,
Me

would you do a small run of special ones just for me?? unless anyone else comes out the woodwork that is - I guess zerox just came in here to annoy me - insults me about my kids - insults the icon of this coin collecting game, then comes in just to bid me up... so childish!

is the auction over already?

It may be...  :D

Regards,
Me

ill chip in extra for the big balls request...

And i came here to see oh it has started
but well it's out of my hands :D

Will like to see BTC ALLS on it for sure lol

Big BTCalls

come on guys  - im getting stung here... ill pay extra if needed!

.75 BTC for AGINA

LOL Sorry, TMAN. We do have to keep up the appearance of integrity on our coins. No BIG, just ALLS.  ;)

Regards,
Me

1 extra roll for me as big balls... well maybe 5 extra.  I'll pay the costs

Just to get a single coin with BIG added would require a new die to be made at the mint.

Regards,
Me

It is amazing!
Are you planning on make more auctions at this kind in the future?
Maybe just a normal sell could be better so we can all have a chance to have one.

This is the second auction , the previous one happened last year for 2016 Bitcoin pennies

It is not a sale of a roll(though the winner will get a roll) but actually the auction to get your name(or something you want) on all the Bitcoin pennies(other than SN). Just like last one had DAVE on it :D

Normal sale will start after the winner has been decided..

As Sky mentions below, this is our second year doing the YOUR NAME ON OUR COINS auction. We had so much fun doing it last year, that we immediately decided to do it every year for the new release. The winner of this year's auction will have his choice of custom NAME / INITIALS minted on all of our 2017 standard mint coins. (That's a guaranteed minimum of 2,000 coins.) And it looks like TMAN may be the winner for 2017 with his choice of ALLS minted on the coins. It's a strong bid, so I'm not sure anyone is bold enough to go against it.

As for future opportunities, we'll do the same auction again in early 2018 for the 2018 Bitcoin Penny™ release. :)

Chris

Whoa, 1.5BTC already?  Thought I was going to get in on this but it looks way out of my league already compared to last year.  Good luck to the bidders!  8)
