I enjoyed making these. Besides cutting the holograms by hand with scissors and writing code in python for my first time to generate the mini-keys, I think these might be the smallest items I'd ever engraved.
Out of interest did you ask permission to make these? Bitcoinpenny is a trademark after all.
Sorry Digi, don't want to derail thread, but might add to the value if OG gets grief for trademark infringement
Of course he asked permission, that's a stupid question
I'll chime in here just to set a few facts straight.
1. I did not give permission to OgNasty to either (A) make the Nasty Penny or (B) to use our trademarked "Bitcoin Penny" in its name.
2. I was not given advance notice of the Nasty Penny project, and I only became aware of its existence after the original thread was posted by OgNasty. (I found out about the Nasty Penny at the same time that most of you did.)
3. I was offended at the blatant trademark infringement, but after seeing its positive reception by a few trusted members / collectors of the forum, I decided to have a positive and cheerful reaction to the situation. (That's just my way.) Additionally, I chose to believe that it was a simple, unintentional, and excusable oversight on OgNasty's part.
4. It was a very cool idea for a new product.
5. I only wish it was a true collaboration. Then I wouldn't have been offended by any trademark infringement.
6. Still, I was able to look past the problem, and at the time, I was optimistic about doing a legitimate collaboration with any upcoming 2017 Mini Physicals.
7. The legitimate collaboration never happened.
I hope those facts (well, #4 is more of an opinion, but I still believe that it's true) will help to clear up a few misconceptions that have appeared several times since the release of the Nasty Penny.
Regards,
Chris
