Got the artwork for my pin/cufflinks/etc based on XhomerX's design of my crest today. I wanted it 15 mm high, but the smallest they could do was 19mm. Some changes need to be done, the trigger must be attached to the crossbow and the scale is not perfect, and the frame should be protruding, not recessed. Here's the final artwork And below is another artist's rendering of the whole thing including helmet etc.

So hey guys, I had a bit of interest re my art submission, a couple PMs asking if they were available for sale. Well, I have given it a little thought and talked with the guy that actually owns the plasma setup. At this point I am just gauging interest to see if it is really worth burning a batch. I'm certainly not wanting to annoy anyone or break any rules turning this into a for sale thread, just get a feel for if it might be worth my time to move further. If there is interest I will be starting a dedicated thread. I wouldn't really be making anything on the deal if it were to happen, but I would want to slip a bit to my buddy. He is an independent maker/artist type and the plasmaCAM is an expensive bit of kit. The desk ornament/bookend thing from the art thread would ship for $20 equivalent BTC. Also, there is a new prototype, smaller, that another blacksmith buddy can value add into belt buckles; Those would ship for $40 equivalent. At these rates domestic US orders would be slightly subsidizing international shipping and I would be hoping to break even. I would love to buy the bookend version. The belt buckle seems a bit big.

Digitizing existing fiat funds will be a smart decision to get a more stable financial system in the world that is not specifically tied to the dollar, as is the case in big business. Bitcoin is seen as a custodian of value, why not banks to develop their own coins.
Of course, it seems that in the short to medium term we are going to witness all kinds of playing around when it comes to various entities getting in the money printing business, and of course, BIG banks that are tied to a variety of national currencies have already been in the process of printing money and digitizing money for years and years and years, so I am not sure if there is anything new going on in terms of the bank money printing business. Bitcoin has surely drawn some attention to the money printing "problem," so I doubt that digitizing is really the hinge about what is going on and what are the dynamics and incentives that bitcoin brings to the whole world financial system that has gone down a road of ongoing money printing problemas. In the end, whether BIG banks digitize or not, they are likely NOT going to be able to control ongoing evolution of public sentiment that is likely to progress because of systems like bitcoin, so yeah, it could take decades to work out the various battles, yet so long as bitcoin does not screw up, seems like the vast majority of value is going to continue to gravitate into bitcoin, even if there are various kinds of smoke and mirror attempts from various status quo financial institutions that might attempt to suggest that bitcoin brings digitization of money when in reality bitcoin is really bringing responsibility in terms of money.. and in terms of really having a rules system that is enforced by nodes that will likely continue to incentivize responsibility within bitcoin, and central systems do not really have anything that incentivizes them to compete with bitcoin because ultimately centralized systems devolve into money printing - and bitcoin is, so far, the best incentive structure that is enforced by massive computer decentralized proof of work that reframes the whole monetization away from printing more coins. Don't engage the account farmers please.

Do you think we are stupid in this thread? Creating a whole bunch of newbie accounts and then have a debate with yourself, and believing we wouldn't figure that out? Get the fuck out of this thread or I will cut you.

Got the artwork for my pin/cufflinks/etc based on XhomerX's design of my crest today. I wanted it 15 mm high, but the smallest they could do was 19mm. Some changes need to be done, the trigger must be attached to the crossbow and the scale is not perfect, and the frame should be protruding, not recessed. That looks very nice. Can't wait to see some finished products I'll send you some when they are ready.

SWEET! how much are these trinkets going to run you? About 200 USD equivalent for 50 pieces. The main cost is making the matrix, there isn't much difference in price if you buy one or fifty pieces.

what in fuck is that jimbo thing
A product of the times boomer. Listened to lots of that high on something 70's music where every song was about drugs or terrible love songs with men putting women up on pedestals and worshipping them like some sort of donkey servants. Like most old, white Marxists, probably went to a middle school and high school that was segregated and 100% white, and has never interacted with any type of minorities before besides a sexual tourism trip to Thailand. At around age 90, will go to the mall and get randomly punched in the face by a feral, 18 year old nogger playing 'the knockout game' and fall on the ground and die in one hit. This must be your favourite ice cream.
