Only took a year or so, but that is the hologram

Its gonna be 18MM so it fits on the 1/10th oz coins

also the next line of coins is gonna be called pieces of 8 and its going to be 8 coins

1/10 oz silver
1/4 oz silver
1/2 oz silver
1 oz silver

1/10oz gold
1/4 oz gold
1/2 oz gold
1 oz gold

The design for the 1/10th oz silver is going to be the exact same as the 1/10 oz gold. exact same. So these will not be marked with what type of metal they are, only their weight

The silvers are going to come out 1 at a time and if it goes well and you guys like it I will be doing the gold ones.

They will be blank on the back and have a design on the front

when you put the coins together it makes one big picture

It will be cool to see how the colors play out in the reflection, when will these be going into printing?

I expect to have these in my hand in 2 months. I wasn't even thinking about the colors of it, I believe I am going with a gold hologram color.

This is a quote from bigtimespaghetti who is designing the hologram


plagiarised? no. I used a stock image... for the layout and not a finished hologram, a layout is like a concept, a step up from the rough sketch I did before, it's no where near finished, I'd never consider giving someone a layout image as finished. I'm trying to get feedback on the right direction of the image.

I sometimes use stock art in holograms or designs (which I pay for myself). You always have the option of the other more detailed stock image. Use of stock images in designs is very common. It's kind of funny that in that message it suggests I was trying to scam you with a watermarked image, trust me I'm not quite that dumb. Plus when it's on a hologram, with all the extra detail, it will look fine.

It's cool you're discussing the design with other people, but I'm confused why you're sending me messages with people insulting the layout without understanding what it is. A layout can be iterated and changed- that's essentially what it's for, so we don't get something you're unhappy with when the design is actually complete.

Reminds me a lot of smoothies design from these coins - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1615740.0

The waves and That sun beam should come out nice. Is the manufacturer cautioning you against such a small size?

Holy Hell this is a beauty I'm just first seeing!

Really like the holo Kill.

Yeah me too, too bad I will never own one, smoothie is a master at capturing just the right angle to make the holo look all pretty

thank you

One suggestion, I know kids love pirate ships, but perhaps use a sailboat that is not from the 1800's but more modern.  After all this is bitcoin, not gold dubloons.

Edit to add, S/Y 'Maltese Falcon' would work:  https://imgur.com/qlkjko3

The theme is pirates!

You don't think the pirate thing is a bit played out and childish at this point?  Maybe add a dinosaur too while you are at it.

No, just curious. I recently had a conference call with a hologram manufacturer and he made mention that the less displacement between shading transitions is undesirable and didn’t recommend holos smaller than 1”. But we’re only talking the difference of of few mm’s.

This has just come to my attention, may I ask why the hologram image is watermarked with Dreamstime and 123RF logos?

I cannot give you an answer to that, besides the fact that I have a very reputable fourm member here designing it.

Alright, if they are reputable I'm sure they wouldn't mind attaching their name to it.  Who designed the original, watermarked image sold on 123RF?

I am not too sure what you mean exactly, but bigtimespaghetti designed the hologram and when I PMed them about it being plagiarised I got this response

" plagiarised? no.

Title reads..  Sneak peak at My hologram.. chearly you have taken ownership of said work?

[digicoinuser]

I have a hard time believing BTS would have mashed up this stock image with the below wave graphics that look like they were done in paint.  I don't mind subscribing to your story if bigtimespaghetti was to confirm he did the work.

I have paid for stock graphics before and when that happens the graphic designer doesn't go out of his way to photoshop (https://i.imgur.com/ehgRWdx.png) the watermarks out of the image, the watermarks are already removed.
