Bitcoin Forum

Enough people have been PM'ing me regarding whether we've got another project in the chute and its far enough within the development cycle that I can provide project and design details. Firstly, we will stay with the 5oz, 2.5" antiqued silver. I worked with the digital designer and the fact is that no other finish will achieve the depth required. The current plan is to strike 55 pieces, in which 4 will be set aside for the principle team members and 1 will go to auction accompanied with the full suite of the art developed. These five pieces will have unique vanities and will not be serialized. The other 50 will be sold to the community directly or lower numbers through auction - we are 90% sure that we will limit the run to 50 for fundamental scarcity. However, since the Goddess was attracted a lot of off forum attention we may reconsider this run to not to exceed 100 pieces. As such, please use this thread or PM me to express interest to help me determine.


To Goddess customers, I have heard your call! Once the prototype is struck, I will begin a thread assuming you'd like a matching serial number unless I'm told otherwise. The support provided by you guys earlier this year means so much to me and my team that lives for this.

Project Timeline:

Digital Design: Complete
Die / Mold: Complete
Orders / Production: January
Engraving: February
Delivery: March

Our inspiration:

Samsara- the cycle of death and rebirth to which life in the material world is bound.

Mold complete. We hope you love it.

I will buy..I have #13 coin so please try and match me up.  The first coin is one of the most beautiful of all cryptocoins..Thanks!

Been waiting for you guys' next release. Count me in

Ill take one for sure

You are most welcome, however it's Cyrus that did the most work. He spend a lot of time to get your account back to you since he needs to be 100% sure about everything.

Goodluck with your new idea!

Glad you got your account back!

Cool idea as well.. One question though, will the same people be involved with this project when it comes to the privatekeys and all of that?

Best of luck to you!

Count me in. No. 38 to match my Goddess please.

i'm in as well

#thecoincouncilpropaganda

Nattymind team don't worry what this clown slack channel does/says. Your coins sell themselves due to their intricacy and originality. If these guys are worried about who compiles the private keys they should leave them unfunded.

Is mindtrip involved in this project?

   What happened with mindtrip then? Was he part of the first team making the coin? Please elaborate ??? Thanks

Excuse me? I asked a simple question and this had nothing to do with any sort of propaganda.

Mindtrip is a known scammer and to have someone like that be in charge of key pairs is not what I'd be looking for when it comes to new coins on the market.

If you want to call it coin council propaganda that's on you, I don't even partake in that chat anymore and have not for a long while. You seem to be informed on the matter however so what's the word in there about this?

The last coin was one of the greatest ones I've ever seen. I merely asked a simple question for this one.

Count me in.

Thanks Hampuz for the heads up on that! Good to know not to load that coin at all! Was not aware there were issues with the private keys at all!

There were no issues with the private keys on the last release.  I generated/engraved/secured them myself and mindtrip never had access to them.  Not that I believe mindtrip is a scammer, but it isn't a concern regarding the keys.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2389082.msg24417385#msg24417385

I will not be derailing this thread any further. You don't need to reply to me Hhampuz. Just be careful when you post contradicting things within a week of themselves.

Then I was misinformed but it had nothing to do with tcc. I'm afraid I can't disregard your vouch for Mindtrip though as he has screwed some people over on this forum. But, this is not the time nor the place for that discussion.

Lmao, you are too far out of this community that you don't even understand what's going on. That is clearly a joke thread, or so you actually believe I would charge people for a chance at joining the raffle? Every single person that replied there of pm'd me received an invitation to tcc. But I'm not engaged in that chat, was more or less pulled in just for the heck of it.

But then again teegumes I would not expect anything less from you.

Thanks for the interest! I’ll update over the next few days with pieces of the design and try to apply the intended meaning as well, but for now:

OgNasty will be generating the keys and doing the engraving for the  project again. I wouldn’t have it done any other way.

Just curious, does he also affix the holos and destroy the private keys?

The artist, the graphic designer, the sculptor, the mint are all the same.

Mindtrip is a friend, we brand this together, and we finance these projects together 50/50.

Please feel Free to pm me if you would like to discuss this any further.

Yes. I only give him the desired vanities. The keys are completely gapped with ogn.

100 coins is still a pretty small mintage and will certainly help grow the fan base I have to think.  I also want a 50% better chance of owning one..so there's that too  :)

Interesting coin and watching, entry price of the last series was extremely affordable.   :D

Wow, that's some great news right there.
Really looking forward to this. 50 mintage is indeed very low, maybe you can try to minimize reservations per person to a reasonable amount so hording by some big fish won't happen right away?
Also, congratz on getting you acc. back!

I’m a fan of keeping the mintage low but you should indeed limit the amount bought per person

Nice! I've been waiting this announcement for some time   :)

I'm in for two coins matching the numbers I have of the Goddess, if possible.

Agree on this one yeah.

https://i.imgur.com/Ag65qel.png

Realm of Angels / Gods (Deva): the gods lead long and enjoyable lives full of pleasure and abundance, but they spend their lives pursuing meaningless distractions and never think to practice the dharma. This realm is devoid of altruism and the meaningful relationships that contribute to a purposeful existence.

too much to read.

i will just sneak in and say one for me as welll
thanks

Do you consider giving owners of the first coin a priority when selecting serial numbers?
If I do get a coin, I'd prefer it to be the a matching set with my other one.

Yes. Hence the conundrum of staying with only 50. It’s important to me to get people that supported the first project matching serials. I’m going to try my best.

Count me in...Tks.

I own #37 (purchased on secondary market) and am interested in the new coin in same number.

50 coins to me seems like it would have made sense in years past, but this marketplace is getting bigger and bigger by the day and the lightning fast sell out of Genesis new release is a good example of why I think 100 makes sense.

Off Topic:
I'd like to formally apologize for my shortcomings earlier in this thread. I never meant to direct any false rumors towards you or any other user Natty. I was acting on information that I received from other users and it would appear that the information presented to me was false. For this I am sorry and for derailing the thread a bit I am sorry as well. My accusations of mindtrip being a scammer was probably just me sipping a bit too much on some nice drinks. For that I am also sorry.

Best of luck with the coin release, if it's as good quality like the last one I'm sure you'll do very well.

On Topic:

I think that a mintage of 50 would be very nice although I don't see you having trouble moving 100 of them. Scarcity is always nice. I'm hoping the pricepoint will stay around the same (In $ terms, since we've gone quite far since the last release). Will watch this thread closely for updates! :)

No worries, no alterior motives from me brother. My mission is simple: design, produce, and deploy the sickest and secure coins possible. I hold myself 100% responsible for the success or failure of this experiment and I encourage the customers to do the same. As such, never hesitate to hit me up.

Count me in for 1 or 2.  no first coin so no number cares.

Not sure if this is a pre-reservation thread, but if it is: Would definitly purchase at least two.
Given the theme of this coin, it would make for a wonderful present for a close relative of mine, too.

As the happy owner of #6 from the first series, I'd be interested in a repeat purchase.   Looking forward to seeing this come to fruition. 

If reservations are being placed, I'd like to reserve the same # coin as I purchased prior to match the one I have.   :)

I'm making note of each post :D

The hub merged with animal realm (Tiryagyoni): The pig, snake, and bird represent the three poisons of ignorance, aversion (or anger), and attachment, respectively. In the animal realm, wild animals suffer from being attacked and eaten by other animals thus generally lead lives of constant fear. The poisons can co-exist such that ignorance for something one holds no attachment to, arouses anger within him. Furthermore, anger is a manifestation of fear. From these three poisons, the whole cycle of existence evolves.

Count me in for 1, same boat- no first coin so no number cares.

Natty, looking forward to the release.  Love people that like to push the limits of where we currently sit with our market.  Will be watching for further developments.

Hell realm (Naraka): hell beings endure unimaginable suffering for eons of time.

Looks pretty cool so far, any chance for a 1oz version?

https://wiki.coin.community/w/images/3/36/NaTTyMiNd_5oz_Silver_samsara_mockup.png

Cool, i'll repeat my previous numbers then :)

Cheers

Looks like a great creation. Unique design and awesome details.
Keep it coming, I'm looking forward to see the end result!

I am drooling! Better than some of the usual coins I have seen.

That’s coming together nicely🤯

I’m overcomming challenges with a 62mm footprint and facing potential design trades already. I will be forthcoming with these trades when they are realized, which will be soon. So with  a 1oz 39mm would be impossible for this project unfortunately. Also, I’d have to produce new hologram as well..

Anyway, I love the hungry ghosts, represents a lot of people in this space. Their thirst for wealth is heightened when they see a stream of plenty, only to have it bone dry when the finally arrive to drink.

https://i.imgur.com/9Ph8yaF.png

Hungry ghost realm (Preta): hungry ghosts suffer from extreme hunger and thirst. They wander constantly in search of food and drink, only to be miserably frustrated any time they come close to actually getting what they want. Hungry ghosts have huge bellies and long, thin necks. On the rare occasions that they do manage to find something to eat or drink, the food or water burns their neck as it goes down to their belly, causing them intense agony.

Wow, this looks incredible. So much to discover! <3
Great idea doing slow reveals regarding this level of detail!

 :D

But all kidding aside, this is an amazing piece of art!  I have to have my precious! to go along with my number 13 Natty Coin! ;D

I've been waiting for your next release. Love the concept. Count me in for one.

Wow.  The concept art for these is stunning.   It’s going to be hard to beat the quality of your last coin but it looks like you just might be able to do it with these. 

https://i.imgur.com/DzLrx35.png

Human realm (Manuṣya): Humans can be seen as highly favored, in that they have an immediate reason to seek out the Dharma and yet also have the means to listen to it and follow it. These attributes are fundamental to attaining enlightenment and therefore breaking out of samsara. For this reason, life in the world of humans is known as "the precious human rebirth". Born close to the pivot point of happiness and suffering, humans have a unique capacity for moral choices with long term significance.

aghh...Vitruvian Man..my favorite Da Vinci sketch! This coin is going to be amazing man. Great artwork and concept indeed!

This looks like it's gonna be an awesome coin!

Count me in, and please reserve #27 for me (same # I've bought last time) :D

Come on guys I only count commitments for 22 coins so far including people who want to buy two.

https://i.imgur.com/FqresYA.png

Demi-god realm (Asura): the demi-gods have pleasure and abundance almost as much as the gods, but they spend their time fighting among themselves or making war on the gods. Always desiring to be superior to others, having no patience for inferiors and belittling strangers; like a hawk, flying high above and looking down on others, and yet outwardly displaying justice, worship, wisdom, and faith — this is raising up the lowest order of good and walking the way of the Asuras.

this is me reserving one in case it wasnt clear!

small mintage made me anxious so i had to make it clear

I will take the same number I got last time #5 IIRC.

I'd like my same # also.   ;D

I will take the same number I got last time :) 49

I won #5 in one of your auction. Do you want this number anyway? I'll take it if you don't mind choosing another number.

https://i.imgur.com/ZvJ8XwG.png

😶

I'd like 2 of any number.    Didn't get in on the last version (though I'd be interested if anyone wants to sell one).   With that I'd certainly prefer the 100 unit production in the hopes of getting one.

So exciting! This coin will be mind-blowing.
I wonder what these numbers and characters might mean?
Any haXX0rs here to decipher?

In the totally unlikely case that this thing will not have enough buyers I'll even take a third coin. Will probably make for an amazing present.
Oh, lowest non-paired numbers would be nice, or something like #11 or #33. Just sayin... .-.

By contemplating on the twelve links, one gains greater insight into the workings of karma; this insight enables us to begin to unravel our habitual way of thinking and reacting.

The twelve causal links are:

1) Avidyā lack of knowledge – a blind person, often walking, or a person peering out
2) Saṃskāra constructive volitional activity – a potter shaping a vessel or vessels
3) Vijñāna consciousness – a man or a monkey grasping a fruit
4) Nāmarūpa name and form (constituent elements of mental and physical existence) – two men afloat in a boat
5) Ṣaḍāyatana six senses (eye, ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind) – a dwelling with six windows
6) Sparśa contact – lovers consorting, kissing, or entwined
7) Vedanā pain – an arrow to the eye
8) Tṛṣṇa thirst – a drinker receiving drink
9) Upādāna grasping – a man or a monkey picking fruit
10) Bhava coming to be – a couple engaged in intercourse, a standing, leaping, or reflective person
11) Jāti being born – woman giving birth
12) Jarāmaraṇa old age and death – corpse being carried

For complete transparency, I’m in discussions with the sculptor regarding the circuitry connecting the twelve links on the perimeter. When you put it on an actual sized mock-up projection,  it doesn’t look nearly as coherent as the digital design. I trust the first strike will be a balanced compromise between classically bold and new age inspired.

The prototype will be presented on the announcement thread before any orders are comitted🤗

Well done.   Probably the most intricate and well thought out coin I've seen in the Bitcoin space.

Can't wait to see the final product!

It's getting a little too busy for my taste.  I liked the first one better.

I guess to each their own but this is a masterpiece!!!  The concept, artistry, originality, and intricacy are very bold statements and taking coins to new heights.  It's a daring, courageous, and time consuming effort that appears will exceed expectations- anxiously awaiting prototype.

wow, that are a lot of details, nice.

Absolutely love it. Leave us down for 1.

Holy cow!
What an incredible piece of art. Congratulations.

Really promising!!!
I would like to take 1 as well!

Greets, Hank

Incredible!  Love the Kama Sutra images   :D

After 7 minutes , AND... I'm still staring at it!  :D

Wow...well done NaTTyMiNd with the creativity.  I'm liking it!

Love the mock up but can a mint actually reproduce all that detail when striking a coin?

I am hopeful and believe it can be pulled off, esp with the technology and advances of today, considering the details of Morgan dollars that were produced in the 1800's.

If the mint can reproduce all those fine circuit details shown in mockup in the struck coin this will be one of the most beautiful coins ever minted.

I think the circuits are going to be sacrificed unfortunately. I reviewed some previous works from this mint that tried to achieve a similar effect and it blended together. But that’s for a raised mold, what I’m arguing for now is that the circuits can be depressed or etched subtlety enough to catch the antique lacquer and achieve a similar effect.

However, when you put this on a “to sized” footprint, there is something captivating about removing the circuits and tweaking the frames of the images a little bit. And there is a valid argument that it’s too busy as submitted. In any regard, I will be updating this thread with the final changes if required and have photographs of the prototype before taking any orders😜

And To all, Thank you for all the kind words!

The guy on the portrait on the left of S of samsara looks like super mario lol.

All jokes aside this looks really awesome!!

Bump for freezing the design.

https://i.imgur.com/FYV0w1M.jpg

No we just sit back and wait for the sickness.

We hope you love it!

Peace!

Wanted to share the sculpt with you guys, orders will be open in a few weeks via a separate thread.

It’s absurd.
