Bitcoin Forum

My Crypto Cosmos project (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5068739.0) is near to completion (update in main thread coming up shortly) and will hopefully go into print, shortly after this auction is finished.
As promised in OP, you now get the chance to become part of this limited crypto-game.

Up for auction is your name/your slogan/your lover's name/your forumname etc on one of the six special cards in my Crypto Cosmos card game: The Hacker's card.
No more than the limited 256 decks (and a handful of artist proofs) will ever be created with this exact card

Important restrictions
- you can use 1 - 12 character and/or numbers. Some special characters allowed, including $%&/( )=?\!”$%&/()=?\ /-_.:,;|
- you can choose between the same font used on the rest of the card (see pictures) or any other open-source font that's not completely out of proportions and not too ornamented
- no offensive language, no advertising, no strong political or religious agenda
- I reserve the right to exclude suggestions+bids at my own discretion

Note, this card is still unfinished, more info about the hackers mentioned below will be added. Also the card's back is still subject to change. For more info visit the main thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5068739.0

Thanks guys. So happy this project is coming to a finish very soon.

Please note: Must state your desired "text/number/phrase" with your bid.

- You can change it later, if you feel like it. This rule is just to make sure no phrases that I would reject stay as the current high-bid. Thanks!

0.01BTC

Oshki Tomei

.011BTC

'Lynx'

Same font.  :D

Thanks for your bids. - Both definitly sound like some great hacker pseudonyms! ;)

.012

Tickld

Haha great reference. Although I also love "Mantis" as a hacker pseudonym. Only great suggestions so far imho (Tickld is pretty funny, too!). Keep it up guys.

Current high bid: 0.015 MJ

Less than 1 day left.

I think you need to be older to get that reference  ;)
 I like it!!

Even though I consider myself young at heart :D I did get that one. Your "Oshki Tomei" remains a mystery for me, but it definitly sounds like a cool (japanese?) name.

Ends today @ 14:00 NY (20:00 Berlin) - 8h 50 m to go.

Regarding the 30% donated: to be selected by the winner. I didn't have the time to look up foundations accepting BTC yet.

Current high-bid:

2 hours left, let's go!

Wow, that was anticlimatic.

Congratz MJ with thw win!

Thanks for the quick payment!

With pleasure. Done: 0f9aa09443a2adaead43d7c7febf3f387364656ba579773baed35ddc933d8987

Dang! I was on a roadtrip, driving thru snow and ice for the last six hours! I would’ve totally bid on this! Oh, well. Maybe next time? :(

Congratulations on the win, MJ!

Ahhh, I am very sorry Chris! I wanted this acution to be short, so I could finish the last card and go to the final print stage quickly. However I guess I should have thought about this better and let the auction run for more than 48 hours.
Glad you made it well through the ice and snow.

Currently there are still some adjustments that need to be made for the silver-engraved box and then this project is finally ready for the final stage.

Appreciate your interest, I'll try to improve my planning in the future. :)

You did nothing wrong, Kryptowerk. I was out of town visiting family, and I forgot to check the collectibles threads for a few days. Totally legitimate auction. (Personally, I like short auctions too.)

Your planning is fine. No improvements needed. ;)

Regards,
Chris
