Payment systems now back online - Thank you

We have just received the proto-type of our solid oak box for the 25 LTC coin.  We have just approved this proto-type and all 500 boxes will be with us in around 3 weeks.  The box in hand made in England. I think it looks amazing.  Thought you might all like to see some pictures .  In the back will be a booklet about the coin, the design and Litecoin in general.  The certificate of authenticity will also be there.  Enjoy!

Payment system currently disabled.  We are moving to a new payment provider (Go Coin).  Please bare with us while we make this change to our website.  If you want to order a coin please email us admin@coinographic.com and we will contact you to let you know as soon as the payment system back online.

Thank you

the private key will be under the hologram on the reverse of the coin.  If you choose to in your design you can put the public wallet address directly on the coin.  We would have to get those hand engraved.  Entirely up to you.  Be as creative as you like

Thank you

Thank you for your submission.  Looking forward to seeing the finished final version

For those of you that may be interested, we have just opened up a design contest for our Physical Bitcoin Design;

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=693176.0

We have offered a huge bounty of 5 Bitcoins and 2 ounces of fine gold for the winner of this contest.  If you, or anyone you know might be interested in taking part, please point them to the above thread on Bitcointalk.

Thank you

Thank you for your submission

Thank you for your questions;

1. We do not require a costing estimate to manufacture the coin.  You have no restrictions in your design.  We will source the appropriate suppliers from our existing lists

2. We do not need a list of materials for the case.  Feel free to design the case in any way you wish

3. We do not require a costing estimate for the boxing material.  Please use any material you like in your design.  If it is not commercially viable then we might choose to modify the material whilist keeping the same look/feel

4. We have no target cost at this stage.  We are purely interested in what the community would like to see in a physical representation of Bitcoin

5. As with point 4, we have no target costs as yet.  Purely interested in the design phase at this stage


Thank you

We are more then happy to send the coins into escrow if the community feel its necessary.  It does create a small problem for us though...  

The first place prize is for a fully loaded coin and not the BTC directly.  If we sent the 5 BTC into escrow then it is not where it should be (on the coin).  We as a company feel that we have already done more then enough to establish our trust.  We have paid 100's of Litecoin in bounty (as you know) for our many contests on Litecointalk.  We have many people within the community who will also vouch for us.  We have always paid every single bounty or service provider we have ever used.

That being said if the community would prefer the BTC in escrow, then it is no problem for us.  I guess the 5btc could be sent to the coin address once it is received by the winner.  From our point of view as long as we can verify the 5 BTC is put onto the verified assembled coin then there would be no issue for us.

We are genuine registered company in the UK with a fixed office address.  We would also be more then willing to meet any bitcointalk member at our offices for any verification the community feel is necessary.  We are in this business for the long term and have no interest in ruining our reputation by not paying a competition bounty.  We have already invested a huge amount of money into the company - Thank you

Thank you for the heads up but we are actually very aware of all these laws... 

As a company we are based within the UK so they don't apply to us.  We are also producing our coins as souvenirs and they will not to be used as "current money".

We will also not select any designs that bare a resemblance in design to any other current money in circulation.

Thank you

Great idea! why not? These are the kind of ideas we are looking for.  Cant wait to see some submissions start coming in...

i mean diameter circle - take a look at our LTC coin for an example - http://www.coinographic.com/25ltc-limited-silver

The deadline is the 31st August 2014 - Thank you

Thank you for taking the time to read the details of our fantastic competition!


ABOUT US

We are Coinographic.com. Our company has been formed for the sole purpose of creating high quality, exquisite, Physical coins of eminence.

We hosted a similar competition to this on Litecointalk for our limited edition Litecoin and we are currently hosting a competition on Reddit for our limited edition Dogecoin.  You can find more details about these competitions from our News Page on our website.

It's now time for us to break into the Bitcoin world and create something truly unique for the worlds most established crypto-currency.


THE COMPETITION

This competition offers a huge bounty of 6 Bitcoins and 2 ounces of fine gold for a physical Bitcoin design.  As with our other coins, it’s extremely important to us that the design of our coins come right from within the heart of the communities that drive them.

If you are interested in claiming this bounty, simply post your design right here on this forum post.  Please be sure to clearly watermark any designs that you post with your copyright.

To give you some specifications of exactly what we are looking for...

Firstly the coin will be a limited edition of just 100 coins, minted in 2 ounces of .9999 solid gold.  The diameter of the coin will be 41mm.  The BTC value of the coin will be 5 Bitcoins.  You will need to leave space on the back of the coin for a 33mm hologram.  The front coin should have a space for the limited edition number of the coin to be hand engraved.

You should design all aspects of the coin from the coin itself to the hologram and the packaging it will be supplied in.  

We are looking for people to be as creative as possible.  It is our intention to create the most luxurious & exquisite physical Bitcoin ever minted. We believe with the help of the community here we can do that!


HOW IT WILL WORK

We will select the top 5 designs submitted to this thread and then post those 5 designs to a further thread and let the community vote for the design they like best.  The bounty will be split as follows;

1st Place: Limited Edition number 1 of the coin (2 ounces of .9999 gold), fully loaded with 5 Bitcoins
2nd-5th Place: Will each receive 0.25 BTC each for their efforts


PROMOTION

We will be going to a lot of effort over the coming weeks to promote this forum post via press releases and social media.  We hope that this help raise the awareness of digital currency and prick the interest of talent currently outside the world of digital currency and bring them to Bitcointalk.  We would encourage all users of Bitcointalk that read this thread and know any graphic designers to help draw more people into this community and point them towards this thread.


GOOD LUCK!

I wish everyone the best and look forward to seeing some original designs and hearing some of your ideas as to anything you think we can do to make this coin special.
