Hello guys,
I've been fascinated with how those physical bitcoins came to be. Is there a thread discussing this, please just point me there. If not, I got a few questions I would like to ask you, awesome collectors.
1. Who makes those coins?
2. How do we catalog these coins? Is it like stamps, where there is like a database of these coins?
3. How do I know it's authentic?
4. I read a thread that I can place a QR code of my private key on a coin, how does that work?
5. How can I make my own physical coins, if I had the resources and talent to do so?
I'll add more questions if I come up with some more later. Thanks guys!
1. There are a few people around that make them, but anyone can.
2. Each coin creator would usually catalog their coins. As said in above comments, there are people that try to list all coins.
3. You will need to know about possible counterfeits of coins. That said, there are many here that would be willing to help out.
4. You would need to generate a QR code of a private key for a coin. Please be careful with this. It's sensitive information, and you will need the trust of the community.
5. You would need to contact a mint if you want to create coins. However, fresh ideas (even non-coins) are appreciated a lot more here
Feel free to ask more questions!
