I like LikeHero's design, except that maybe using "LTC" should be "Litecoins" instead.

BTW, I met Charles Lee (coblee) at the Conference. Nice guy.

I like both Zino's and Like's. Even though Like's is great, based purely on the concept depiction I am kinda leaning towards Zino's. I feel Like's has way too much going on around the L.

Whitespace is a good thing in design. Less clutter.

Thank you!

Same for me, I think Zinodaur really nailed it with the symbols in the middle, and it is a really beautiful design, but it also looks playful due to the roundness of the used font and symbols. I know the minted version wont have the roundness on the outside like this design, so I took that in consideration, minted it will be less playful but still a lot more than what I would expect from a coin. Can't really decide if you can get away with it for something like a currency. On the other hand, I always thought of Litecoin as the cute little sister of Bitcoin, lol, maybe it is refreshing and new to use this one.

LikeHero his design is more of a traditional coin, the symbolics are also well thought through, maybe a little bit less as Zinodaurs coin in the middle but nevertheless very good. This is a pretty safe bet, will look amazing... but something attracts me in Zinodaur his design.    

How many will you make in the first batch? Really don't want to miss out on these  

[CoinHoarder]

I'm making somewhere between 2,000-4,000 coins in the first batch (2 to 4 denominations, 1000 coins each.) It depends on how many funds we have available at the time the final order is placed.

I have come across extra expenses in the form of programming/design/website design that has brought down the total amount that I can make, as I was planning on making 4,000 originally with 4 denominations. I might get a pay advance from work so that I can make full set of coins in the first batch with 4 different denominations. But I am not sure yet if I will do this, as I need money to live on as well and my budget is somewhat thin.

Thank you for your thorough opinion.

I would very seriously be interesting in pre-paying a preorder to help cover the expenses so that you wouldn't have to be so out of pocket.

[Eb0la]

I can prepay as well!  Put me on your list of people to prepay!

[TsuyokuNaritai]

I'd also be willing to prepay if it would help you out.

[CoinHoarder]

Hm, others have expressed interest in pre-ordering from me in the past, but honestly I am trying to avoid this at all costs. I will think about it more.

Also, Zinodaur updated his design a little bit after hearing some of the criticsm, specifically the font. Check it out: http://grab.by/mJrG

[CoinHoarder]

I updated the OP with the new designs, and added more information about security procedures. As I am finalizing the design, I am thinking of starting to take preorders so that all denomination of coins can be made. I am pricing out different shipping methods and will open preorders once a design is finalized.

I actually left one designer our in my post earlier, it has been edited.. sorry to Beefsock!I would like more opinions on the new designs, be as descriptive as possible please. Examples: I like this one the best, if you changed this it would be perfect. Or, I like this one the best, but if you changed this on the other design, it would be my favorite. Etc..

(See the OP for new designs)

Thanks!

Vote: LikeHero, top left. Pre-order: yes please

[CoinHoarder]

Also, in the case where I choose to manufacture more than one design, please state which hologram you like best. I can product different coins in batch 1, but not different holograms as it's almost a 5k FIAT design/setup fee.

Thank you for you opinions.

LikeHero one's with the hologram of zinodaur 

[Aragami]

Interesting that Zino kept the actual font of the characters used - i think thats where the criticism was from a few people (bold and round letters making it look playful).

Perhaps people would prefer a less playful font of the words used in Zino's design ?

Btw CoinHoarder, make sure you announce pre-orders if you decide to go through with it, wouldn't want people missing out. Especially me =o.

[fenican]

I would be scared to buy any coin where someone else, at any time, knew or had access to the private key.

That said, this is a cool novelty might be fun for low denomination souvenirs

++++1

If I miss out.. OH MAN there will be hell to pay!

All joking aside, don't forget me for prepay!

[edgebits]

This really is a tough call, but I have to go with Zino's design for originality of design. There are several things  I would tweak on it though.

1- as mentioned before, change the playful font
2- the "electricity" symbol could be less.... harry potter? lol.
3- I dislike the leafy strands on the exterior edges. too traditional. I think it should be just left blank, or have some kind of "technologic" feel to it. The coin is already pretty busy as it is.


Hope this helps!
