❎ [SALES OPEN] LEALANA PHYSICAL SILVER MONERO (XMR) - 3-coin sets~ ⭕️

[smoothie]

On the topic of unfunded coins, after much thought I've decided to require all buyers of the 3-coin silver monero sets to fund them with their face value: 25, 50, and 100 monero.

There will be no unfunded Lealana physical silver monero coins.

These coins look very nice.  But, why Monero???

These coins look very nice.  But, why Monero???   

Because Monero is *the* best-of-breed altcoin.

For one thing, it's already 100% fungible at both protocol and socioeconomic levels, thanks to Science^®.

For another, it has a vibrant dev/supporter ecosystem.

I could go on, but will instead invite you to pursue the links in my sig.

Welcome to Monero Mountain!

Meh...  Not the "best of breed" when it's #13th.     Bitcoin is fungible.  Litecoin is fungible.      
I wanted smoothie to answer, not a Monero mouthpiece/bull.  Were you paid to create this physical coin for Monero?  Or, was this a deep, personal interest into Monero?  If this was a Bitcoin coin, I would not hesitate to buy this.  But, because it's Monero...

I can't imagine someone paying me to create physical coins, otherwise they would just make them themselves. No one has paid me to create these coins.

One reason I made these is because monero offers true fungibility. Bitcoin as well as litecoin offer pseudo-fungibility. You can still trace the history of where their respective "coins" came from. A biproduct of my coins is that they offer a physical form of allowing others to understand and learn about certain cryptocurrencies. In a sense it is a tool for marketing and teaching. My coin's in my opinion are not investments but collectible tokens (aka conversation pieces).

Monero has privacy features on by default and it is actively developed.

The math behind monero based on my own personal research is very sound. It incorporates sound elliptic curve math that Daniel J. Burnstein has been credited for.

Another reason I created these is that I enjoy art. Monero is a form of art and I like shiney silver coins. So I figured it would be appropriate to intertwine the two (monero art, and my art) into one.

Sound crypto + sound money + sound math + pretty art = these coins (all in my opinion).

I hope that answers your question.

BTC and LTC are fungible only at the protocol level.  Blacklisted coins demonstrate they are not fungible at the socioeconomic level.

If market cap is your measure of quality, Monero is probably not for you.

I didn't bring up "best of breed" which is in the eye of the beholder.  And, you're right, it's not for me.

I am now accepting orders.

i like it very good design

[phishead]

Are all the coins from #11 on picked "randomly"? Is there any process or guarantee to have below a certain number?

Outside of an auction for a specific number(s) the answer is no.

I probably won't do too many more auctions of specific numbers.

The numbers are picked at random. I would prefer not to have too much book keeping on who gets what serial number.

This gives the auction winners (current and future winners) an incentive of paying the premium on their bid.

I'll probably post up another auction if any one wants a "low" number.

It is just a name, no meaning. Kind of like Casascius didn't have a meaning (not to my knowledge).

Well let me back pedal...perhaps there is a meaning, and if there is, I don't know it. =)

Casascius is a name I made up before ever deciding I would use it for a coin project. The root, “CASAS”, is a simple acronym for the phrase “call a spade a spade”, to which I added an ending I thought would make it sound like a personified Shakespearean or Roman sort of name. It is properly pronounced “ka-SAY-shuss”, though I am not bothered by the variations I hear.

OT:
Smoothie is it correct that Lealana is pronounced "Leala-hu"

Okay to be a bit more open about LEALANA, it has a meaning to me, but the literal meaning of "LEALANA" I have no idea what it means.

Of course I would prefer not to share this meaning as it is of a personal nature to me.  

@Took, "Leala-hu"?
