Hi guys and gals!
Im new to this forum but have been involved with cryptocurrency for about 2 years and been a collector /enthusiast of shiny objects for a long time ( metal detecting addict).
Anyways I wanted to reach out here to get opinions about creating physical coins for various cryptocurrencies. I realize this is not a new idea by any means, however I feel there could still be a market.
I am curious as to what type of metal people think would have the most success. I am torn between making smaller quantities of silver coins or making larger amounts of brass/ sterling silver. I am leaning towards silver however this obviously pushes up the price point for buyers quite a bit. They would be 1 ounce coins. (obviously another option is to offer both but for starters I'd like to stick with just one type of metal).
I also am wondering if people feel that the coin needs to serve a purpose. For example, the hollow coin offered by PhysiBit a while back was a place to hide Private Keys. Or other coins that just use a sticker to cover up a qr code. I dont want to preload coins with any amount of currency, it seems it could only create a lot of problems down the road.
The communities / coins I am most active in XMR, VTC, NEO, IOTA. I have am currently working with a couple artists to come up with the design for the coins. I want to start with XMR and VTC as these are the two communities I am involved with most.
Other coins I think that could have success: RaiBlocks (wait until after rebranding though) and Doge.
I would love any feedback/ advice. Thank you for taking the time to read.
Paul
