[mymenace]

Of course with my 3 submissions, you can swap backs and fronts words and text to make the bitcoin that appeals to you.

Hi,

Im to submit mine within few hours.

[ruletheworld]

You'd have a tough job deciding. There are several really good designs here

[ingrownpocket]

Alright this has been going on three weeks and CoinHoarders last post was more than week ago.

Coin buddy either finalize a timeline or give at least top 3 current don't leave everyone hanging.

Thanks

I know it's not a democracy, but I really like this design. Sure, some details are not optimum for me, but it's what you asked for: out of the box. Not thrilled with the Star Date, but whatever. The design IDEA is fresh, and exciting.

Mjbmonetarymetals, could you work up a design study with a different planet, (I like Jupiter!), or a different view of Earth, and maybe a series of different spaceships? Orion Drives, Generation Ships, Sails etc? I'd have been tempted to submit my own design, but I didn't have the time to climb the steep learning slope. Anyway, this is YOUR idea. Run with it, please.

OP: I'd be more likely to buy this type of Physical Bitcoin than any others, no insult intended to the many other excellent designs.

This is my submission showing a rough draft of the obverse side only (needs a bit of work still but I figured I'd post it now). There is no reverse face or 3d render yet -- I want to gauge how much interest there would be in this design before committing the hours it will take to complete it.

It is an impression of the wild tansy, a flower that represents resistance, and chose this flower for the front face because sound money is potentially an incredible tool of resistance against many different things. It is inspired by beautiful manhole covers.
[op failed to respond, have withdrawn my submission]

Edit: I found the dots a bit overwhelming, so here is the cleaner version.

OP, do you know how fine the lines for the custom die can be? I'm working on the reverse side and would like to know how detailed I can reliably get.

[NewLiberty]

Keep in mind that the lines are not perfectly perpendicular, there is some slight trapezoidal shape to them and they are wider at the base.  This is necessary due to the nature of the cutting tip of the CNC die cutters, and it is actually preferable as it slightly reduces the "sharpness" of the coin.  Sharp coins are not good.  Most pockets are made of fabric which can get sliced up by sharp metal, and the last thing you want is your coins cutting holes in the pockets of their owners and escaping.

I'm starting to think this contest is bullshit.

What software you used for rendering? Those coins look really badass, I'd like to check what would my proposals look like if rendered properly.

Thanks very much! I imported my vector artwork from Illustrator into Photoshop as smart objects parts, making sure that the vectors were compound shapes with black only. Then I made my own layer style to make a render of the coins.

If your vector artwork is formatted similarly, I could try and send my layer styles to you, and you could check how it looks with your artwork, but it's basically just a gradient, bevel emboss and drop shadow. The antiqued version also uses an outer glow.

It's time to pick a winner for the coin, or multiple winners (specify who is getting 5 btc total) if you are not proceeding.

Bump, because this.

[SimonBelmond]

Finished obverse and reverse, with antiqued and non-antiqued versions.

I like how you compare the blockchain and germline (depicted as DNA). As a Biologist I always see a lot of parallels between the two.

[ingrownpocket]

I'll have to open a scam accusation if you don't reply.

i don't see a blockchain, let alone DNA (triple helix).

yeah, that's not cool.

alot of ppl have made alot of great designs in here.  i wish i could have a gold and silver version of each one.

[likehiro]

I have done a similar job for him some time ago and all gone perfect. I think he has had a problem or something else. I'll wait for his response a little more.

[mymenace]

Tidied up one of my submissions and rendered as well
