In case I'm not the only one who wondered how the logo would look like if the size and position of the lines more closely resembled the actual letters, here it is:
This is really excellent as well.
Can you or someone make just a rectangle out of this with the 8 lines in the middle, without the coin? The 8-line pattern is really the way to go I think. I think it would be good to have a coin image, but we also need a non-coin logo as well.
I wouldn't add any text in English on the coin. If you want to add text, write it in binary or hex. Japanese katanaka could look cool, as well.
nice design
