healthy competition, you don't see that in the fiat markets

@Cryptopher I agree it would be better if there was a better platform for this kind of thing but at least this is a start and although I wish I could do more I wouldn't have time or money to make a dedicated portal for this

@jonanon I agree to an extent with some of that but you have to consider the amount of fees ebay sellers have to pay, between ebay and paypal I pay approx 20 percent of everything I sell if not more to them so you have to take that into account, you also have to take into account scammers and losing money from that and you need to take that into consideration too. I consider ebay a premium service to get alt currency quickly and easily, with websites out there like localbitcoin and locallitecoin I dont know why anyone would buy those coins on ebay but for every other coin it's a quick and easy way of buying these currencies rather than going through the whole thing of buying bitcoin at a premium and then trading it. Part of that premium price is for us sellers taking on that hassle for the buyer and getting the alt currencies in the first place

You print on the coin: "abc". You tell the buyer: the coin code is "abc", to what address should I send the funds? (or you can even deliver the coin as-is without loaded funds, as the buyer could do that himself as well)

Buyer 1 makes up a secret password for himself "xyz". Combining these two, he gets "abcxyz" which (interpreted as a brain wallet) results in private key 5KfLXufK7YsQ52Nyp5KFmsBmF2m6khGMBY5wX892pJPhocojCRc and address 1BCuqJmin1G7AJfu2iv66ZyYLe2eNU29b9. He tells you the address, you load the funds and deliver the coin.

Now buyer 1 sells the coin to buyer 2. He tells buyer 2: the coin code is "abc", to what address should I send the funds?

Buyer 2 makes up a secret password for himself "pqr". Combining these two, he gets "abcpqr which (interpreted as a brain wallet) results in private key 5K5LkDxWXfMKGz5trtx1YP4Xv7CBDqow8vgcSeLBQbA6Bi8cGQH and address 19ZhmygXPaLuEHBTyD4yNPsYdUWc8WYjRE. Buyer 2 tells buyer 1 the address, buyer 1 transfers the funds and delivers the coin.

Obviously, in real practice you'd use longer passwords than "abc" and "xyz"

BIP-38 would be a possibility, the buyer sends you an address + a password protected private key in advance. This way the private key doesn't even have to be protected by a hologram, it's already protected by the password (which only the buyer/owner knows). Although the hologram does offer an extra security, i.e. knowledge the address has never been accessed (except maybe by the owner himself because he must know the actual private key in advance).

Another possibility would be a 'split brainwallet'. Instead of a private key, you print a pseudorandom (partial) password on the coin, let's say 20 alphanumeric characters. The buyer/owner can add whatever additional password he wants, and obtain the private key (+address) as a brainwallet of the two passwords combined. This way the coin can even be safely sold and reused: he can mention the code on the coin to the next buyer. Next buyer adds a random password of his own, which results in a different brainwallet (new privkey+address). He tells you the new address where to send the coin's funds. The coin and its code is now only usable for the new owner.

I agree, I would have voted for these, if they were in the poll:
- Yorozu
- Myriad
- Genesis

and "Yorozu" and "Myriad" both actually mean "ten thousand"
(I doubt the OP actually looked them up before discarding them)

I would have thought the 3 above should at least be better than "minicoin/pbit/sbit"??

Too bad... but this poll is only for fun anyway...

Good! BTC has huge potential in countries where millions of people don't have a bank account.
