likehero, I like those designs! See PM.

I filled out the form, hopefully we can get everything figured out.. what a cluster f*ck.

Indeed... I had to cut myself off. No more chocolate for this guy (for a day or two at least!)


Thanks Salty, I thought it was cool.  

I'm not sure how many people will be interested in buying them, but I will likely use a lot of them to introduce new people to cryptocurrencies. I must admit shipping chocolate through the mail is more challenging than I imagined (during the summer.. melted chocolate.)

I live in a college town, so I was thinking of going to a computer science building on campus and handing them out to a bunch of students. Meanwhile, introducing them to Litecoins and Bitcoins. Maybe this will introduce a couple new developers (or users) into the community, that wouldn't have otherwise learned about Bitcoin/Litecoin.

A private key in the chocolate would be pretty cool, but what happens when you eat it? I wouldn't want to be the person that has to find it coming out the other end.  

Ahem, moving along...

I received the first Chocolate Litecoins yesterday, they are milk chocolate silver coins using Zinodaur's design. I'm beginning to think maybe it was a bad idea to order a huge box of chocolate. I have been eating them too much... I'm going to to get fat!  

These will come funded, or unfunded so you can generate and print your own coin inserts. Alternatively, you may just stick the hologram on it for decoration and to show off to your friends and family! These are meant for gifts and novelty purposes, I plan on using these for some Litecoin awareness projects to educate strangers about Litecoin and spread the word. These have a 1-2 month shelf life when stored in the proper conditions.

I will get some more professional pictures soon.. these were taken on my phone.

Hi mymenace,

I think the binary that spells one bitcoin and is exactly the right size to fit in a complete circle is a neat idea. That is definitely a good start, a nice and simple clean design & binary with meaning.

I am interested to see what you come up with to fill in the space, possibly it may look best just the way it is. I think some people's designs may be a little cluttered, and I have mostly liked the simpler designs better. On a side note... I am digging the geometric lines on the back of ibminer's coin and 0nlyBTC's 3rd version back of the coin. I think a geometric pattern in coin form would look pretty cool. But I don't want to hold back creativity so please submit whatever YOU think looks good!

Thank you for submitting a design,

Ch

Hi 0nlyBTC,

I like some of the other versions better than the original one. Good work- I'll get back to you in PM now.

Cheers

Thank you uvwvj, I like it! 

If you think the ALT coin with the best name will win the ALT coin wars, purely for the reason of what its name is, then I am afraid you will be disappointed.

It will be about which coin is best, has the most uses and features, the strongest community support, the most talented developers, etc.

For instance, I don't think most sane people invest in Google for the sake the companies name is Google. It is because they are a solid, innovative company that produces quality services and products. <insert a million other examples here>

The saying that "Litecoin is silver to Bitcoin's gold" is just basically a marketing campaign, and with all marketing campaigns you need to take the information for what it's worth and do your own research.

It actually originated from the founder of Litecoin himself (Coblee), and most of the Litecoin community seems to have adopted the saying as Litecoin's official motto.

I do not particularly think it is either true or untrue. Whether that is truly the case is certainly debatable. Again, take it for what it's worth.. basically a marketing slogan.

Death&Taxes: I love that picture. Well played.  

NewLiberty: Good points there. I agree it is a silly argument.

Goat: Thank you man! Good luck with your silver coins, I'm rooting for you!

Austin: Good to know, thank you sir!

That's fine, perhaps I should change the OP to say the minimum quality of file format of artwork submitted should be PSD. Feel free to submit designs in other file formats. I think vector style images in Adobe Illustrator are pretty nice if you know how to use the program. Any design with vector quality format would be ideal and graciously accepted.

Thank you NewLiberty for your feedback. I learned a few things.

I agree the designs probably should be submitted in a better format, however that would also limit the number of people that can submit designs. The nicer coins will be made from hand sculpted dies and die struck, so the format of the artwork won't matter too much.

However, I am making a cheaper version that I'm pretty sure the mold was CNCed, so I might see the effects you described. The coins are so small, I am hoping any defects won't be too noticeable. The nicer coins I'm not worried about, they should be really pretty.  

Thanks again!

Wow, an ALT coin that erases your Bitcoin wallet. 

You win the award of the worst ALT coin ever sir.

Well played.

Lol, that is a good idea. I'm all for it.. the more designs the merrier.

I'm going to have to draw the line at 5 BTC though. It is already a little more than I'd like to spend.. I just wanted to entice people to make designs so there would be plenty of options to choose from.

Good luck

I suppose that is OK, but there is no guarantee you will win so it is pretty much gambling. 

Mine is bigger. 

Whatever.

I wouldn't of said it if I didn't truly believe it. The fact of the matter is, I think if Smoothie could reveal his security measures, then my statement would be proven correct. However, that is not going to happen so it is a moot point. That is why I told him to take me to court for defamation... because that is the only way either of us will reveal all of the security features of our holograms. I'm not trying to be a dick, but it is what it is.

Also I never stated other products are not secure. All I said was my holograms will likely have more security features than theirs. Even the most basic holograms are inherently counterfeit deterrent, the extra features I'm adding is basically overkill. I believe my statement to be true due to the sheer amount of security features I am implementing. Smoothie was in a rush to beat me to market for his coin. I've had months now of talking to companies, getting quotes, and doing research. I feel confident in my statement that my hologram will be more counterfeit deterrent, and I do not take it back because I truly believe it.

The fact of the matter is, I think Smoothie is threatened by me and my company. Possibly he thinks part of his market share could go down.. which is a possibility I don't know. He is also probably angry that I'm not charging the insane Casascius/Lealana mark up... me (and others developing physical coins) are going to highlight how insane of a mark up they are charging. With Smoothie posting here, it is personal for him obviously. So he had to find one little thing to make a big deal about and smear my name about it. I never even mentioned him or Lealana, for all he knew I was talking about Casascius or <insert coin company name here>.

No deadline as of yet.  

I will review the submissions in about a week and then decide whether to continue it for longer or not.

I can back up the statements Smoothie. However, proving it is dependent upon you suing me for defamation and by trial. Get your lawyer and I'll prove it to you. Until then, simply stfu. What are you going to do? Call the forum police for me making a statement that I honestly believe is true?

You obviously have special interests. You bumped all 4 threads I have on bitcointalk.org and on litecoin forums as well just to quote this conversation and tell the world. I hope you realize it is silly and hope you are proud of yourself. You are obviously trying to harm me and my business, from now on consider yourself ignored. This is a stupid argument and you're making it out to be a huge deal like a 2 year old.

Go ahead, get the last word in. I won't respond...  

No wonder why that ignore sign is bright orange. I've always tolerated you Smoothie, but now you're just harassing me and I'm done with you.

Unless we pay JohnK a set percentage for a fee, I feel bad for making him collect all the information of chip transfers and who owns what. It's not his fault this turned out to be such a mess. I think in hindsight he wouldn't of got involved to begin with. I think we as a group should collectively figure it out and present him a spreadsheet.

Perhaps we can get a google doc going or something for a list of chip transfers.
