[LTC] [ANN] Physical Litecoins by CryptoVest (Project on hold)

[GCInc.]

Wow, just wow. Socks blown off by this project and the first three design proposals. I would buy any of them. Perhaps preferring LikeHero's slightly, as I like the crisp ornaments when compared to the more bulky ones.

Last week I was gauging possibilities for production of physical bitcoin in silver. Talk about ideas floating about in the ether and being grasped by the sensitives. Good.

I will buy so many of these it's not even funny!!

wothless unless its  a silvercoin:)  lead.zink steel what ever  you make it wont be of any value:)
counterfiting wil  be greater than if one  forks up silver

Unfortunately, I don't have the budget for silver coins.

But I disagree with you on the counterfeiting, I am spending a sizable amount on getting a very secure custom hologram. The hologram also gets registered in a database that all quality tamper proof label makers use and it will be attached to my identity. They will only make this certain hologram design for me. The coins might be easily counterfeited, but not the holograms.

I have to agree! These are the best design I've seen for Litecoin!

i've never liked any of the litecoin designs, except these:

they were released into the public domain by aspect, and were available at http://alpha.cryptotron.com/ltc-designs/original.html (dead site now)

i know there's an awful lot of detail on them (you might want to modify it if your mint cant realistically achieve that resolution) but IMO it's by far the best litecoin design - all the others are complete shit (atleast as far as physical coins go).

can you at least make few "special edition" of silver Litecoin?

@ thecryptokeeper

That is amazing. Just absolutely amazing. I was tossing up between Zino's and Likehero's however that design takes the cake by a long shot and would have my vote as well if it were possible to actually print it. I have a feeling it wouldnt be possible though =(

[thecryptokeeper]

I'm sure it can be made. Look at the detail of other coins.

well, remember its not a real currency. you dont want to pick the fight with govt yet

Unfortunately there is no way to make a small order of them, it has to be a minimum order of 500.

I plan on making some in the future when I can save up enough to make them.

You might be right actually, perhaps CoinHoarder can let us know if its possible to put that coin in for the running? I have a feeling it would be overly popular.

mhh
thats about 90k for 500 50ltc coins
dont think everyne can afford that

It is easy to get around this by selling the coin only, and letting everyone load it themselves. However, the thing that makes it expensive for Silver coins is paying spot price+premium and minting costs. 500 one ounce silver coins comes to like $13,000 before minting costs, IF I could get them at spot price... which I can't. I also have many other expenses in the form of hologram manufacturing, paper for coin inserts, nice printer, programming for address/private key generating/printing, coin designs, web design/development, etc.

I want to avoid preorders and I simply cant afford to make silver coins in the first batch. As long as the first batch is successful, I will be willing to make a silver edition.

bump-

See the OP for new designs, what's your opinion on them? Which coin is your favorite and which hologram is your favorite?

[GCInc.]

First coin, second hologram.

Maybe putting up a vote would make it simple?

[CoinHoarder]

Any other opinions? See the OP for new designs, which coin design do you like best, and which hologram as well?

I am going to finalize the design this weekend and move into production, last chance to get you opinion in.

So, you want to create a physical currency, to represent a digital currency?
