t-shirt idea: "I am Satoshi Nakamoto"

[paulie_w]

idea for this t-shirt popped into my head when I woke up this morning, made me laugh out loud.

i think it should be a 100% black shirt. no bitcoin logo, just the text, in a clear white typeface.

if you do this idea please don't forget to tip me: 1PbdqgxYfy7ZtN2c7Jkn5DWUZkaP1t31s4

awesome :-))

yeah take it and run with it, folks. just don't forget about your friend paulie if you start making mad coin on it :-))

[scribe]

Freaky. I had this idea but for a (probably) different Satoshi a few years ago

Glad to see what I'm wearing is still relevant today

[edit to add: was originally for the challenge to find this man: http://findsatoshi.wordpress.com/ - so the t-shirts have a now-useless URL on them...]

CafePress? Really? Gotta figure out a way to sell it for coins!

[Gavin Andresen]

Can you make one that says "I am NOT Satoshi Nakamoto" ?

[The Script]

Can you make one that says "I am NOT Satoshi Nakamoto" ?

LOL. Poor Gavin. Are you Satoshi? Huh? Are you? Huh? Huh? You MUST be Satoshi

[hugolp]

With a bitcoin sign as background would be perfect.

[Oldminer]

I want one

[ironwolf]

OK, here's my take on the idea:

Enjoy!

[cypherdoc]

Can you make one that says "I am NOT Satoshi Nakamoto" ?

LOL!

[cypherdoc]

yes, i definitely want one.

its anyones opinion but i think a HUGE yellow Bitcoin on the back should be an option too!

[paulie_w]

i agree guys ... cafepress?! come on, if you're going to do it at least sell on a bitcoin t-shirt shop. there are many around, support the economy... http://www.squarewear.biz and others already making it go.

[paulie_w]

i want one now too. somebody please make this. the black one with just the text. one-sided, 1 color, is cheaper.

this will be a great way to 'serendipitously' meet other bitcoiners.

[Drifter]

Be sure to wear it with one of these for extra effect

[catalintus]

and another one give props

[paulie_w]

that's dope

[dacoinminster]

that's dope

I think I would buy a shirt that said "I am Satoshi Nakamoto, inventor of bitcoin" with a nice big bitcoin logo on it somewhere.

I can't imagine paying for it in anything other than bitcoins though

[paulie_w]

@dacoinminster -- but if you write "inventor of bitcoin" it ceases to be an inside joke.

[arturh]

Obvious joke is obvious.

[cypherdoc]

and another one give props

Now, i'd order that one!  consider eliminating "Nakamoto" and put the Bitcoin in "Satoshi"

[cypherdoc]

yeah, the more i look at it, get rid of "Nakamoto".  if u replace "o" in Satoshi, the Bitcoin will be centered in the shirt and by getting rid of Nakamoto, its less cluttered.

[arturh]

If people just google satoshi, they won't find out about Bitcoin.

[cypherdoc]

If people just google satoshi, they won't find out about Bitcoin.

yeah, it depends on if u have a purpose for the shirt.  if u want general public to become curious they might recognize the Bitcoin if u made it large in "Satoshi" next to their google search of Satoshi.

if u really want this to be an awareness generator i can understand adding Nakamoto.

i just like it for fun and as an insider joke as well as for optimal design.  its too cluttered with Nakamoto as far as i'm concerned.

[paulie_w]

+1 for original idea :-)

even with the bitcoin as the Os in Satoshi, that won't be super obvious at a distance. you want to come across this guy in the street and be like, whoa... are you... that guy?

don't you? :-)

[Scientician!]

+1 for original idea :-)

I would guess that outside of this forum, less than 1 person in 1 000 000 would get it.  People would just think " OK, you're satoshi. That's nice, Mr. Satoshi. Good luck"

That said, I really really want one. Even scribe's simple helvetica shirt would work. Just pay for it in BTC...

[ironwolf]

OK, now the shirts have a large Bitcoin emblem on the back.

In Mens:



Or Womens:



Enjoy!

[Gabriel Beal]

You guys are hitting on an issue we debate a lot when coming up with bitcoin shirt ideas (and to a lesser extent, other shirts).  Should the shirt be a signal only to others in the know or should a shirt be a vehicle for introducing people to the concepts of bitcoin.  I think there's a market for both, but the latter is what we mostly try to design.

[Drifter]

OK, now the shirts have a large Bitcoin emblem on the back.
Enjoy!

Pretty cool but not $30.99 cool.

[gusti]

Can you make one that says "I am NOT Satoshi Nakamoto" ?

Good try, Satoshi. 

[cypherdoc]

and another one give props

Now, i'd order that one!  consider eliminating "Nakamoto" and put the Bitcoin in "Satoshi"

i still like this one best w/o Nakamoto and a Bitcoin for the "o" in Satoshi enlarged. 

[ironwolf]

Front and back full color printing on black? Not cheap.

But what if I said I'd sell you one for only 1.1 Bitcoins, including shipping?

I am opening up BITCOINTEESHIRTS.COM tonight. I will be releasing a flurry of awesome shirts for the entire bit-coin community to wear with pride. I will be using all the money I make to build a Mining machine. Let me know what you guys think, and if you want anything special let me know. I can preatty much make anything. This is just the beginning !

In case any of you were wondering the guy in the picture isn't a real guy. It is a special that National Geographic did, where they compiled every single face in the world, and came up with this one being the most common.

alright guys, creative commission payment address below :-)

[paulie_w]

that image is a computed face that is supposed to be a sum-total of all faces, "the world's most generic face". i read about it somewhere.

anyway i still think the shirt is much less cool with the face. you want to get the idea that you could come across satoshi actually wearing it. and with that face there, it's like... well, you make a comparison and it's not as exciting.

without it... well, you never know. :-)

is anyone following this?

[Dobrodav]

That shirt will be much cooler if we will have oportunity to place our foto at image.
I am think that was all ready bin mentioned above.

[cypherdoc]

and another one give props

Now, i'd order that one!  consider eliminating "Nakamoto" and put the Bitcoin in "Satoshi"

i still like this one best w/o Nakamoto and a Bitcoin for the "o" in Satoshi enlarged. 

who will make me this T shirt w/o Nakamoto, with a Bitcoin in place of the "o" in Satoshi, twice the size of the print and with the "am" in italics for $15 each?  i want 3 larges: 2 in black, and 1 in white.  i will pay with Visa or Amex.

The words should be encrypted with SHA-256, like this:

[scribe]

Here's a version with white text for putting on black or other colours. Think it works better that way round cos of the colour of the BTC in it.

i hate inside jokes. i thought the internet fixed that insider knowledge bullshit?

favorite t-shirt so far: black with nametag "hello my name is satoshi nakamoto"

no jpgs etc

[cypherdoc]

there you go m8

that's fantastic.   now just make the print a bit smaller and the Bitcoin larger we may be ready to go!

[catalintus]

got it!

make the print smaller; i want the Bitcoin to stand out.  my offer was $45 for 3:)  sorry, not willing to part with btc's.

Hmm, definitely not Satoshi then.

[TiagoTiago]

LOL, awesome ideas

r u goin to make me those shirts?

[tehcodez]

Yeah that's almost insulting. You want to promote btc, want a btc shirt, and offer strictly USD. Mr. Nakamoto demands your bitcoins back...doesn't trust you at all with them.

its only insulting in the sense i don't want to give them to you!

you got it ass backwards.  i'm a huge fan of bitcoin and am doing everything to obtain and hold them, just like you, which in itself is a way to support btc.  just b/c i don't want to spend them doesn't make me a hypocrite at all. 

the fact i want to depart with my USD's and display my support of btc via a t shirt should say it all.  geez.

[tehcodez]

Lol you're killing me smalls. If you just horde them, and I just horde them, who's gonna get them?

You're just passing the buck (lol), not the bit.

Satoshi you are not :-) You need a t-shirt that sez "I'm just riding this thing for money. Give me your most valuable currency (btc/usd/yen/spacemoney) now."

the Bitcoin t shirt is pretty good.  did u notice that the Bitcoin icon itself is a little lower on the white vs. black shirt?  i like the more centered one of the black shirt.  i might buy.

i'll buy the one i recommended designing above.  the I Am Satoshi Nakamoto is too wordy and crowded for me.

[cypherdoc]

All shirts are now up! anymore u guys want up?

how about just Satoshi with a big Bitcoin for the "o"?

[TheBitMan]

letme try

[scribe]

Figured I'd try to get in on the action too and turn my SVG into a t-shirt:

'I am Satoshi' on front, www.bitcoin.org URL on back, available here: http://scribewear.spreadshirt.co.uk/men-s-classic-t-shirt-A16334567/customize/color/2


And made another one just cos I was in the mood:

'got merkle root?' on front, merkle tree diagram and bitcoin.org URL on back, available here: http://scribewear.spreadshirt.co.uk/bitcoin-got-merkle-root-A16301741/customize/color/2


Hope ya like - don't think spreadshirt take bitcoin yet, but drop me a PM and I can order one for you for 2BTC. Also happy to make modifications as wanted (within reason ;)

[cypherdoc]

letme try
