I would love to get in touch with someone who can convert the photos into line drawings. Send me an email at ajkochanowicz at gmail if interested.

UPDATE Mar 4 2014

Great news, Jeff from https://encryptedbitcoinwallet.com/ will be integrating these designs into an encrypted Bitcoin wallet generator.

With the recent news of heists from Mt. Gox, Flexcoin, et al. now is the time to backup your coins with paper currency or cold storage.

Still accepting notable persons nominations here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1Y-4LuC3Lr2esg79lY7_b8qUVIBjCsqhoxsodNDORHY0/viewform

I'm currently designing some denominational currency for BitCoin. Here are some of my latest drafts.

With the help of at least one other software developer, these will soon be bills you can print out as individual wallets.

Skip to the bottom to learn why I created these and what happens next.

About the bills

• Denominations of 1 and 5 times 10^x (e.g. BTC 0.001 or 0.005)
• Honors great men and women of science
• Fractional denominations are outlined while whole denominations are filled.
• Supports encrypted keys (design for passphrase card on the way)
• Will be released open-source with all original Adobe CS files.
• Latin language and iconography only, every bill is universal to all languages.

Why use these?

• Splitting bitcoins into separate wallets/bills ostensibly limits theft potential.
• Backing up your coins is as easy as printing multiple copies.
• In talks with software and device manufacturers for widespread adoption.
• B&W/GreyScale versions will be released for inexpensive offline printers

I plan to release a total of 10 denominations. My next to design is the 1 BTC bill.

Developers and Makers

I'm looking for devs and makers who want to use these designs in their projects. Get in touch with me!

BOFL - Meitner and Noether are a bit of a stretch to credit for contributions to technology/cryptocurrencies.  I know its nearly impossible to find a broad who has done anything significant in math or engineering.  Better to leave this affirmative action nonsense to the fiats.  

Recommended leaders to replace: Adam Smith, LVM, Ralph Schneider, Babbage, TimBL, Linus, Gordon Cormack,  Ingemar Cox,  Bruce Schneier, Alan Dix, Oded Goldreich, Thomas Carlyle, Ian Goldberg,  John Loudon McAdam, Alonzo Church, Harshad Mehta, Thomas Telford, James Cooley, John Mauchly, Leslie Lamport[not a chick],   If you absolutely insist on placing a woman's face on your bills, Ada is the most relevant.

1BTC Coin Nominees: Hal Finney, Claude Shannon, Martin Hellman, Whitfield Diffie, Ralph Merkle, Bjarne Stroustrup, Phil Zim, Satoshi.
