Bitcoin Forum

I cannot afford it but I would want one of each lol

I really like ALL the designs/concepts.

Specifically, I like a bit more the multisig/shamir coins - (as a concept not as a coin design compared to the rest)

The raw bitcoin transaction & the multi-value are innovative too!

Congratz on creating them & I am looking forward to acquiring some of those in the future

Amazing creations you have here I love them all and hope to be able to aquire 1 of each of your amazing coins if they become available

Really like all the designs. Never seen that technology before either. Is the mintage on there true 1/1. I rather see a coin we can all get. Maybe 50 mintage. That also spreads the word about your coins and allows for secondary market price increases. If theres only 1, some whale puts it in his drawer and no one ever knows about it

           MULTISIG/SHAMIRS SECRET COIN WITH TWO HOLOGRAMS


             https://i.imgur.com/W41gyS8.png
 

        One Bitcoin value, two holograms and two seperate private keys utilizing Shamirs secret

        multi sig 2 of 3. The idea is to peel one and give to a second party and in order for this coin to

         be redeemed both private keys need to be used.

 


THIS Krog, with a big fat number on it for future generations to come together over.

I imagine adding your timelock to the recipe... Wow!

Coolest holos I've seen in a long time

Wow, they are all very different and break the mould as coin designs go IMO.

I dont think anything like these have been done before?

I sense the brief for the design process was for the coins to have a "dual value",
kind of following the saying "Two sides to every coin"

Design wise I love them all, the dual hologram one is visually very different.

   Thankyou ser...with the multi sig was going to make two coins which I will someday but I simplified in one coin instead.

   Here is some good reading on Shamirs Secret Sharing in case anyone wants to know what is Shamirs Secret Sharing

    https://medium.com/bitbees/shamirs-secret-sharing-or-multisig-why-not-both-ad1be6dbccff (https://medium.com/bitbees/shamirs-secret-sharing-or-multisig-why-not-both-ad1be6dbccff)

 

    
  Thankyou ser....Glad to hear a fellow physical bitcoin enthusiast liking these.


 
  
  Thankyou...the 1/1 are prototypes as I wanted to gauge fellow collectors interest in these concepts. Some people want purely BTC coins with no alts on them
and also some just like the plain old private key formats with no complications or NFTs.


    
     Thanks Sweeteye....very happy you like these concepts. I like to create new and innovative designs as it becomes more of a challenge to do these than a regular coin.




    Thankyou very much....The holos are based on my trademark company logo.



  
  
    Thankyou ser....I believe some of these are the very first kind...and thats why I wanted to share...they have been in my thoughts for a looong time...I said it was about time to make them a reality. Just like my timelock coin was the very first coin made...so is this raw coin the first as well, just there is no timelock at all.

    And yes, i like the saying 2 sides to every coin. The front of the coin I will need widen the font area as the holo has too much space around it. The holograms are 2" ini diameter.....the coins are 2.75 inches wide, so I need to make the space between the holo and the outer text area smaller just like the back. The coins are also 5 mm thick as well.




   Thanks my friend!  Thats a good question....cipher or cypher...also why did I choose the name Cypher Hodl.

   The preference for cipher over cypher seems to be a little greater in American English than in British English. The Corpus of Contemporary American English has just over three times as many records for cipher than it has for cypher. https://english.stackexchange.com/questions/147965/cipher-vs-cypher (https://english.stackexchange.com/questions/147965/cipher-vs-cypher)

   So when I came to choose my trademark name I wanted to use both..Cipher and Cypher.


   As to why I chose Cypher Hodl...I wanted to be mystery hodler. Cipher is used in cryptology and reading the following.....

https://www.quickanddirtytips.com/education/grammar/what-is-a-cipher (https://www.quickanddirtytips.com/education/grammar/what-is-a-cipher)

   Cipher can be a sign or a symbol, a coded message, the act of solving a math problem, or a person who is nothing, a placeholder, a mystery, or a blank slate

   Liked the idea of mystery as it pertains to Satoshi...unknown. Thus the creation of the name Cypher Hodl.  ;)

   Everything in my logo screams out Bitcoin!  The mysterious hooded hacker (Satoshi)....bitcoin eyes....Bitcoin sun in the background rising and also the name as well.
    

  

    
      

I like them all.  I really like the NFT version, where I'm assuming you'd attach an NFT to it.  I also like the Litcoin and Dogecoin versions a lot.  As we were talking about yesterday I'd love to see a Monero version of this. It would fit in perfectly with the Cypher Hodl design.  I would image that there is someone in here who would be able to help you get that set up. 

These are all great and push the boundaries of what is possible with physicals .... I like them all clearly, but have a particular fondness for MULTISIG/SHAMIRS SECRET COIN WITH TWO HOLOGRAMS :)

Love the dual loaded coin idea - I’m sure this is unique . Has it ever been done before ?
Love the design - as usual :)

 Thanks Ty...yes the NFT one will have its own NFTs inside along with the private key, so a person would need to peel the coin to be able to transfer the NFTs out from the coin to any address a person wishes or he can just leave it loaded on the coin. Yes Monero would be nice but I have very limited experience with generating keys for Monero.

   

    Thanks ser....appreciate the kind words....I also have in mind to create a two coin one where there will be one holo on each coin but only one part of Shamirs secret on each coin. I just did it this way as I thought it would be cool to have 2 holos on one coin and it also gave birth to my coin concept as well.





       

     Thanks ser....Never seen it before...I was just experimenting with different ideas...thus the holos and the different keys etc etc etc.

     One coin will allow you to share a key while keeping the other intact...while the one with three allows you to share but then expose the rest. Also to give BTC without going thru blockchain by handing a few bits via private key instead.

They really look incredible and making them dual loaded seems like a great idea, I only remember seeing a coin with those characteristics.
As always innovating Krogo

there is the one bar that was btc and eth on the same bar. And I want to say there were some dual btc/ltc coins though the name eludes me atm. will do some research - possible I am wrong as well.

  Thankyou ser....appreciate the compliments.  ;)

Nattymind Samsara  - Which I still need to grab one; amazing coin


Krogoth - loving the work! Also excited to grab a set.

I love the dual loads and multi values. I always thought it would be neat to have a coin(s) with a basket of assets; like top 10 cryptos, or privacy coins, etc. Logistics may be a nightmare though lol; maybe some integration of a multiple link QR code?

I can only say this: YES PLEASE!

I can't give you any critique if you're looking for that as I really like this!

Check out https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5182081.0

... If you see how Phishead did the funding proofage there using the viewkeys, you can simply do the same the thing generating addresses/info offline by using a downloaded copy of https://moneroaddress.org/

source code is at: https://github.com/moneromooo-monero/monero-wallet-generator/ 

(moneromoo is a highly trusted XMR Dev) 8)

Coins are awesome btw! :)

  Thankyou ser........Something to do down the line for sure. ;)





 
    Thanks Iced! Glad you like the designs and the concept.







    Thanks my friend...appreciate it.

     I always wanted a Monero wallet generator....now I know a good source. Will try it out  :D

These are gorgeous!!   ;D ;D ;D

Krogoth you are really at the forefront of development in this space  :D :D :D

I've been marinating in thought waiting to craft a reply to this.

First off, kudos on your efforts to innovate. Really love seeing new ideas brought to this space.

First off, easily the most attractive Holo in quite some time. Great job capturing it in photo.

Now the coins. I'll just be honest.

1. Litecoin - overall I dig it. Samsara did it first, do nothing groundbreaking here, except this one comes loaded, so maybe that is a first. Anyhow, I think if find the coin more attractive if the load values were related. Maybe 1 ltc and whatever the ltc/btc ratio is for the btc value at time of making the coin. I think this would be a rad way to time stamp the coin personally.

2. Doge coin. - I hate doge/memecoins. So I didn't like this coin. Then I read the quote on the rim of the obverse. Lol'd. Immediately changed my opinion. Good coin. Good design.

3. Raw transaction - no feedback, but I dig the innovation. Cool idea.

4. Multi value. Really cool, tbh, I think it would be more well executed in bar form. More space for holos/values/abstract. Nobody wants to peel, but if you're gonna do a multi value item, I'd love to see as many holos/keys as possible. Makes it a peel as you need kinda item. Good long term storage physical format for a savings brick. Like the coin, would drool over a bar.

5. Multisig - no thoughts as I am not comfortable with multisig yet, but two of those holos is twice as nice!

Keep it up krogo!!!

Love them. My feelings are pretty in line with Ticked's actually.
Looking at the some of the coins, is the red circled area a nod to Ravenbits?

https://i.imgur.com/k6Sz3Xcm.jpg (https://imgur.com/a/R80e7Dg)

Geo

I will take one of ea if I can have #21 like all my other items from you are numbered :)

Thanks Ticked! Appreciate the feedback!

 I am a Bitcoin Maximalist, but I feel when it comes to physical crypto collectables I had to introduce a change in elements that might be up some other collectors alleyway so to speak.

 I picked Litecoin as I do see it the silver to bitcoins Godl. I even todl Charlie what quote I would be putting on the coin as homage.

 And yes, the Doge coin quote is perfect for what it is of course. Very few people are aware of these quotes, so glad you pointed it out :D I try and place a quote of the creators on coins as homage to them.

  And I only sprinkled a minute amount of Doge as well, just enough to not worry about  ;)
 
 Have never thought to make a bar, my holograms are 2 inches in diameter and I would think the bar would need to be a nice size to accommodate the holos.

 Overall, thanks for your feedback. I have three other designs in the works as we speak which I will be posting hopefully in a week or so...depending on the mail system!






   Thanks Geo! Appreciate your thoughts and feedback.

   I wish I could say that, but no. The symbol came from a google search of blockchain like this one https://thenounproject.com/icon/block-chain-566220/

   My initial image for my Cipher Bills was to create a hooded Satoshi Nakamoto with his arms outstretched kinda like the Jesus in Brazil.

   And around his head instead of a halo, there would have been a halo of blockchain instead. And in the background would be the Bitcoin rising sun.

  Well, that did not come out as I expected it, so I only showed the head instead and instead of a full halo, I placed the blockchain circuit on top of his head instead.

  It made my day as it came out to be more mysterious and ominous. I did not use the halo for my trademark though, I use it on some of my items if I have room to place in there.



 
 
  Of course bro  ;)

I’d love to have one of each of these if ever made. Number 8 or 14 would be fantastic!

Wow these are amazing. I hope you make all of the concepts at some point. Hopefully I can get my hands on some when they become available but I love the ideas. Very creative.

       Thanks for the compliments...glad you liked..I have a few more I will be posting very soon and perhaps someday I will make them available  ;)


   
    Thanks for the post....will definitely keep you in mind...cheers  :D

  LOL so true...number 8 is Holoxons! Made a video of the double Holo coin...you can see how large the coin is compared to a quarter.

                                                       https://youtu.be/jPV6jCMBFwg (https://youtu.be/jPV6jCMBFwg)

Bro I’ll take any number you want to give me and stay with that number forever

  Yes sir...a good number I shall give. :D

These are all amazing

Steeley

I don't go into the details of the individual designs ... but I am always delighted by your ideas and creations.
you know very well that I am "a fan/admirer of your productions" and I bought the first coin you put up for sale ;D
with these latest designs it can be clearly perceived the passion in this field, the desire to innovate and the artistic sense. it shows that you are a collector / creator of another level!
well done, keep it up!

Incredible designs congratulations, is there any possibility that some can be made of gold or silver ..?

Wow!!!   :o :o :o

I can tell lots of work went into these Krogoth.

Interesting use of tech to create a double funded variety.

If you could mint some versions in silver I would be all over them.

        Thanks Bitbollo....Will try to keep up with newer ideas as well.


 
   Thanks sir....with the coins being 2.75 inches wide & 5mm thicj.....precious metal onces would be very expensive indeed.



  LOL  thanks man




      Thankyou and yes lots of work...especially making sure code etc etc is accurate.
 

Wow! You just keep pushing the envelope. I love them. I really like you including monero I feel it is so underrated. Hopefully I can own one of the Quad coins. Thats just really taken it to the next level bro. Well done.

  Thankyou ser....And yes I like Monero...I think that and LTC are probably the only ones I like outside of BTC. And pushing the envelope is what I love to do and will come up with some other ideas as I brainstorm away  ;) :D

Thoae new designs are great, love the syle of your designs, they are easily identifiable
as CYPHER HODL coins without the hologram IMO.

The video adds a totally different perspective, these are seriously chunky coins
[which is great!]

There are a lot of designs so I want to aska few questions,

a.] Are these in production yet?

b.] What is the material?
I'm guessing brass but its not mentioned in the thread . . .

c.] and what are the quantities?

Love all the new designs, especially the Monero!

      Hi thanks for the compliments aoluain.

       These are mostly protoypes and experimentation to see if people are interested or not in newer version of a physical loaded coin...instead of the usual same cryptocurrency or same pub and priv key, I wanted to experiment and see what people thought of these.
 
       For anyone interested they can always pm me as well        Yes it is brass and they are large 2.75 inches with 5mm thickness...so they would dwarf a Casascius in size...and the engraving is superb.

       When made there will only be 21 ever made and numbers 1 and 2 will always remain in my collection...so for everyone else there will be 19 coins up for grabs so to speak.

      Also each coin will come with its own NFT as follows...


       https://opensea.io/assets/matic/0x2953399124f0cbb46d2cbacd8a89cf0599974963/47547307638365115358100910084148609067724816525689145601576702512845000015873


   Thanks ty! Appreciate it!



    I also have in the works right now an Ethereum/BTC coin and also a 2 coin set BIP38 encrypted private key...but unlike the one I placed on top it will have as follows...

    One coin will have the BIP38 encrypted private key under the holo and the second coin will have the password for the encrypted private key for the other coin.

    So one coin cannot be redeemed without the other  ;)

     I just love to come up with different ideas and versions of how to utilize and enhance physical crypto coins :D

Amazing! I have recently started producing artistic objects about bitcoins, I studied at the academy of fine arts in Italy, only recently have I shifted my artistic interest to banknotes which I find very fun to make! I've never tried to produce metal coins, I'm very passionate about it, I don't know where to start!

Wow I am loving the Eth btc combo. Definitely a sick looking piece. I really want a monero one. I think we need more xmr pieces. But killer work bro. Keep it up. 💪🏼

They all are great. My favorite is the multi bitcoin coin with 3 public and private addresses (the first one displayed of the two versions).

  Thankyou! And welcome to the collectables section of Bitcointalk...you have landed on the right forum  ;)

   
    Thanks Holoxon!  And yes I have thought  the same way of losing one without the other will make it useless...but then again a normal coin when lost is lost as well.

    I think in this application it would work in a scenario where two people would say deposit a certain amount of BTC and each would get one coin and then when agreed upon they meet again to redeem and reclaim said BTC.

    Also I did not place a large amount of BTC as this is a novelty concept idea that I think would be different than the usual single priv key type of loaded coins.

   
    Hi Matt thanks!  I only sprinkled a small amount of Ether just enough to make it a dual combo coin  ;)  I agree Monero coin is way underrated and will make a nice coin as well!

   

    Thanks Steeley! Yes it is one of my favs as well...I also like the 2 holo one where if one is peeled the other is still intact...also making it the first to have a double holo on a coin!  ;)
   

 

So you got yourself a 3D printer? This is pretty cool. How long does something like this take to make ?

    No I perhaps should get one. I wouldn't know....a friend made for me. I know Mopar has one and he could probably say how long it takes. But I will ask my friend as well

Another variation on the coin

https://i.imgur.com/9HOXSYj.gif

Both of these look super cool. I also like that you are playing around with lower cost material and low denomination. It adds an interesting twist to the norm.

Yes I'll second that, really love the POP of the Orange against the Black. Design wise
I really like the first one, the combination of Bitcoin and CypherHodl combined is very nice.

I also like the idea of using a very different material.

krogoth - any more details and images on these?

    Thanks...Indeed it does and the colors are just fantastic as well....it all started with me making my trademark logo as follows...but these are 6 inch diameters...whereas the coins are 2.2 inch wide

      https://i.imgur.com/Yy6PM7A.jpg

   From that came the idea of...well how about a loaded coin? And thats how it all started...I love the idea how I can change colors for different coins.

    

    yes it is novel idea as I explained above...also giving it a 3d coin effect as well  ;)

     Things are in the works...time is my enemy so to speak....as I have very little of it available with life family and all.....but I am sure to run a little auction down the line.

    Glad there are people that like these.  ;)

those look really cool the orange really pops krogoth!! I can relate with you on the time aspect having a family myself keep up the good work.

 Yeah the bottom left one is actually orange not yellow...just the way it came out with the flash. So it in inverted color to the one on the right.

Continued with different color designs...quite pleased with the outcome...also made a hodler for these to mount on my wall. ;)

 You can also see the back holos when reversed.

  Placed a quarter for size comparison.



  https://talkimg.com/images/2023/05/14/blobe0541fa8eafd4439.png

I see a potential product out of this 3d printed art.

Dig em. These would look pretty cool on poker chips.

All are cool. I'll take the set  ;D

I think I like the bottom left corner best (orange pill color with the shadow black on the face). '

Steeley

  Indeed I agree....they look so colorful the variations I can make are endless as well. These are loaded with BTC and also there is an NFT inside as well. :D


  Thanks and yes they would...but I could not find anyone to make poker chips to accomodate my 2" holograms.

 

   Thanks bro....yes the orange and black mix well. Was supposed to also do a blue/black  black/blue variation as well...thats i the works as well.

https://talkimg.com/images/2023/05/14/blobdd28d75a533fc6da.png

Some more expertimental designs with different designs for printed loaded physical bitocoins

Bin

Best one yet. Looks awesome. I still love the orange two / goes with the 'orange pill' theme.

Steeley

  Yes I agree....I just love the variety of colors these can be made in. The sets look even better hanging on my walls next to my crypto items   ;)

   I also placed NFTs inside each coin as follows...

https://opensea.io/assets/matic/0x2953399124f0cbb46d2cbacd8a89cf0599974963/98084980900489238382933689552128745866313768279877425097616668502764942262273

Looks great! Came out just like I pictured from when we spoke on discord.

Any chance the rest of us will have the privilege of hanging these sets on our walls. ;)

   Indeed they have.....and thanks

 
    Ha! I outsourced these to be made by someone else...I just received a 3d printer and in time will assemble and hopefully learn how to make them in house.

    I will probably make some more for people who would be interested. ;)

I received my "Coin #12" from one of Krogoth's auctions, Thank you Krogoth ! >
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5408342.0

Very happy to finally have one of the printed coins from this thread and thought I
would post up a couple of pics.

   That looks amazing....where di you buy the stand?

    You are now a proud owner of one of the very first loaded printed physical bitcoin coin!

    Thanks for sharing...the color really stands out! Cheers!

Thanks yourself K!

The stand is a little rubber "bump stop" with a metal inner used for feet of a wooden box
or on a door to stop it bumping off something else. I got it in a hardware/DIY supplies store!

i did some 3d printed stands for my krogoth coins - can always do ones for others as well.

Post up some pics Mopar ^{maybe in your own thread!} I dont have anything on display
but I'm sure plenty others do 👍

       

The monkey and punk are dope! Great work sir!

Very cool. As usual ahead of the curve.

When sale/auction?

Love em! keep them coming!

   Thanks alot guys. I stopped selling coins and only create and post these to share with the rest of the world any new ideas and concepts.

   These are all for my personal collection.  ;)

Love it...

You are always innovating. Very cool.

I would love any of these if you make a limited batch.

   Thanks again guys for the feedback. But as I said in an earlier post, I do not make coins anymore for sale. These are all for my personal collection.

   I share whatever I make nowadays to introduce new concepts to our hobby.

    Thanks again for all!!

Looking very great love it. 🥰

Very unique and Nice design...love Bitcoin.

Wow
Excellent Innovation
Nice money Coin

https://i.imgur.com/tG5fcMd.jpg

Just for welcome.

A wonderful job. I appreciate your work very much. And thank you for sharing such beautiful money coins with us.

A very commendable work. Particularly outstanding among the coins is the Eight of Monkeys.

The coin designed in 2023 is mind blowing.

Go ahead, you are the best as an initiator.

Without doubt your work is one of the best. Not only I will appreciate your work but also everyone are appreciate your work. Best of luck

I have seen many designs of debit cards and credit cards so far. But I have never seen such beautiful and attractive card designs. I would have never realized that cards can be designed so beautifully if I hadn't seen your design. In a word, it's amazing and anyone who sees it will appreciate this design.

You have created an amazing coin design. I have liked it.
Absolutely wonderful  :D

The first card design looks very realistic to me. You have designed this card so beautifully that at first everyone will look at this card in awe.To be honest, I am totally impressed with the design of this card so beautifully that I would not have understood if I had not seen your design.

The design of the back part of the first card is more beautiful. The design of the front and back site of the first card has been much more beautiful.

Oh It is natural for everyone to appreciate beautiful things. I personally like the design of this card.I find the design very unique because I have never seen a card with such a design.Such a card design is really admirable.

I really like this beautiful design of Bitcoin. I have seen many Bitcoin logos before but never seen such a beautifully designed logo. All the designs are awesome and look very best.

 Thanks for all the feedback everyone....appreciate it. Just so you know I do not make anymore coins for sale so the ones I am posting lately are made just for my collection! :D

Simply I consider your collection as a store house of virtual currency, NFT ans lastly Bitcoin ordinals NFT.
Carry on, I appreciate your hobby.

  Created this new design with my Satoshi Nakamoto hooded figure sitting with the world of Bitcoin in his hands and surrounded by the legendary Bitcoin Citadel in the background. I opted not to place any lettering in the front and let the entire image take the face of the coin.

great design Krogoth it looks good  8) keep up the good work

I like it as well - how big will the coin be? cost?

  Thanks!  The coin is the same size as the other at 2.75 inches....and was not planning on making any for sale. I am tinkering around with different concepts and designs but thanks for asking!
