UPDATE: Winner announcement: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1735156.msg17451737#msg17451737The bounty:0.5 BTC for the winner + 1 0.999 silver coin to be released soon All other participants get a to be released brass token (shipping included in the EU, about 3-5$ for shipping elsewhere in an untracked letter) Requirements:A self designed TWO TONE hologram (2 layered) The hologram needs to be 25mm in diameter There should be a cutout in the very center to show the firstbits of an address (about 8mm in width and 3mm in height, the addresses will be printed on a 1cmx1cm circle) "XEROLA" should be added to the design element The hologram design should be done in Adobe Illustrator or converted to an .ai file. PSD is also accepted. (The fireeye (my avatar) can be used too, but should look good and placed correctly  ) (A rendering of the hologram is very helpful) What determines a good and a bad design?A good design has a geometrically symmetrical design concept. There should be design elements such as waves or other patterns that "decorate" the hologram and make it stand our of all other holograms. A bad design is just pasting bitcoin logos and a few shapes into a circle with no concept and/or design knowledge. It won't get you a brass token. You can take existing holograms as an inspiration, but you shouldn't copy paste the design. A few examples of good holograms are the casascius holograms, crypto Imperator holograms, microsoul holograms... Maybe have a look into them before you start working. When will the winner get announced?The winner will be picked and announced by me on the 15th of January 10th of January. Deadline for submission is 9th January 18:00 GMT. The winner must send me the .ai file before the payment is sent. Good luck!

Casascius 1BTC 2013 Silver/Gilt and Casascius 1BTC 2013 Silver sold.
Why didnt i look into this forum earlier... |
|

The package might have also been lost in transit.

I don't understand how this commends such a premium. Can't anyone draw some sunglasses on a $100 bill and stamp it saying the same thing. Or am I missing something that makes this More special
Limited edition, traceable ownwrship, known artist etc. I guess. Why are some Casascius coins selling for massive premiums? Nothing compared to this artpiece holding 1 btc. It's 6 times the face value (100$ bill not included in genius calculation) |

I'll offer you 5 BTC for that. 6BTC if there isn't a single scratch  |

Thanks for posting the pic. Better than I expected. What does the writing translate to?
It translates to: Congratulations on getting rich! Give me Bitcoins. It's a common proverb in China to lunar new year. But replace Bitcoins with "red packets", people fill these packets with money and gift them to other people. So if you need money, try saying this to everyone in China and end up rich. |

(I would offer you 0.03 btc on the ravenbit. How much for shipping to Austria?)
I'll offer 0.42 for everything, plus shipping to Austria.
I would accept that if you paid for shipping to austria, and I guess it depends on the way I send it I will PM you more details .41 but I also want your forum account as part of the deal.
why on earth would I sell my account you need money.. and for 0.01 its a small price to pay for you to not be posting. actually ill make it 0.45 total for it all, including your account so I dont have to see your name in every thread No thank you, however, I would agree to not post on this site for .15 BTC a month. PM me and let me know if you are interested 0.5BTC for everything - including your account. you must also request to be IP Banned, then you can take your shit to the Litecoin forum. No thank you, but I will lower my offer to .10 btc per month to not post on the forum. Holy $h1t! Having to pay somebody to not post on the forum on a monthly basis?!? Is this a new form of reverse extortion?  Haven't heard of that one before.  User is trying to refuse escrow. He didn't want to USE OGNasty as an escrow, although he is advertising him in the thread. Then I said that MJ will be the middleman and that he'll forward the package to me. But he kind of refused and asked me if I would release the bitcoin once he sends me the tracking info. He wanted that the escrow will be made public and that MJ MUST release the bitcoins once the tracking says "delivered" Very suspicious activity in my opinion0.43 I offer for all
Edit, if you want to sell the lealana by itself, I'll offer 0.15 for that.
That is the most tempting offer I have received yet, I think we are going to have a deal Well, I offered you 0.44 btc, plus shipping. Well you don't say.  Trade got cancelled between me and Zeroxal because me sending the coin to the escrow, and escrow shipping coin to Zeroxal was too much of a "hassle" (in their words) It's not about the hassle of the escrow. It was a hard time for me trying to communicate with you. Therefore I cancelled the trade. |

Thanks for all of your doodles!!! There are plenty people here to help out with whatever you need to make this happen!!! And looks like you already have a title lolz Thank you, minerjones. Since my post above, I've been giving this a bit more thought, and I think that I may just do it. In fact, I'll likely start a new thread dedicated to crowdsourcing ideas about the book, from collectibility (a limited number) to contents (your favorite doodles) --whatever people think might be fun. After all, this should be a fun project for everyone.  I'll keep you posted. Regards, Chris Oh yes this is happening!  I don't mind paying a higher price for better quality, please try to make it the highest quality you can, I don't want a book that will give up its beauty in a few years. |

Really because I thought we agreed on MJ to reship the coins. and I was talking about the .15 for the lealana Why can't we just agree on an easy and classic escrow transaction? MJ receives the coins, he releases the bitcoins, and reships the coin to me? You're trying to avoid it by adding unnecessary things (release on tracking number, sending me video of packaging, public escrow sht) and telling me that you cannot use OG as an escrow. |

I'm curious to know what you'll be using these for. Do you plan on making them actual wallets or just novelty pieces? If you'll be using them as wallets what sticker/hologram would you be using on the back seeing as none are included?
Thanks
I'll mainly use them to spread bitcoin across my friends by giving them these coins as a gift and hoping that they'll spread the word even further. I do actually have some prototype holograms for my "Xerola" coins, which will be released some time in 2017. Not sure if these will fit on the casascius coins though. |

Just ordered them through the official website. Hoping to get them soon If you don't need 500, I'd like to buy some from you. I'll gladly sell a portion of them I'll notify you when the coins are here. |
