Bitcointalk.org collectible coin?

[zekoroger]

Yes, good idea

I want one

[Toxic2040]

I would love something like this theymos as I am sure many others would also. I would prefer something with the weight and feel of a eagle or maple leaf so I can use it at the card table for a marker. A limited numbered run would be preferable and add to its collectible nature imho.

Wall approved.

For bitcointalk.org's 10^th anniversary later this year, I was thinking that it might be cool to produce a limited run of 50-300 coins and give them out (maybe all-expenses-paid or maybe at cost) to users who meet some to-be-determined criteria. I'm not a collector, though, so I'm not knowledgeable about this stuff.

 - Does this sound like a good idea?
 - What features would make the coin especially interesting?
 - What's the best way to get a coin like this made?

Talk to krogothmanhattan. He makes physical coin giveaways often. Like here >https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5110106.0

I am sure he can help set you up with the manufacturer of the coins.

I like the idea of a bitcointalk forum coin to celebrate the moment. DIY would be preferred do ; )
As there will be more interested people then coins produced a blockchian raffle maybe ?

[polymerbit]

How about something like this?



Its a crude design but the idea is to show the earth rotating around the sun (in the middle, raised).

I’m never saying no to a good looking crypto- related collectable.
Great idea, as long as you make sure all of us collectors are able to get one
Perhaps you can get casascius to make one last round of coins, similar to his superbowl coin.
As the first one who created physical crypto coins, that would definitely be a great thing!

Cheers,

If somehow this would be a possibility that would be epic.  Dont think mike has an interest anymore he completed his mission but that would make one hell of a release day.  Popcorn would be ready

If mike was willing to design and mint 1000 of these anniversary coins, similar to how he did the st. pete bowl coins, that would be the bees knees!

[Rmcdermott927]

I think that’s a great idea theymos.   Maybe have a contest and pick the best design?    


Perhaps it could have the anniversary days and display the bitcoin price then vs now?

What makes them superior from other users of this forum? Posting quality? Oh man, what has posting quality to do with collectibles?

Posting quality means in one way, you contributed to the forum, and besides, it was a sarcastic remark. 

That's certainly a very bad idea. It would become a hectic work for the coin maker or probably the coin will never come out actually! It should be of similar patterns with numbering from 1-1000/2000 and giving them out on the basis of account age of the user. For instance if the user registered on 2010 they would be receiving the first set of coins and later on.

Not really. If these are going to be rare coins, might as well make it count!

Just so you know, almost 95%(Ddmr Ddmr/LoyceV, you can correct me of course with the right stats) of users registered in 2010 aren't active, and they *left* the forum.

My say is that the coins should go to those who deserve the most, for the years of contributing some people have done here, the least they could get is a collectible. 

So basically only Chipmixer campaigners get it? 

Lol, I don't know about that but I would certainly like to know what those criteria would be--and I'd absolutely love to own such a neat thing.  I don't even care if the coin was made out of precious metal or loaded with btc or anything else.  It's a great idea, IMO, and I fully support it.

UM ME TOOO!!!!

It'd be cool , if we all chipmixer participants have a collectible coin of our own too, to remind us of how much we have tortured the scammers, nae the faint-hearted.

[wttbs]

great idea !

just make a commemorative coin, not loaded with any BTC and give a serialnumber , 1oz 0.999 Silver

have it designed by some dedicated forum members like Bitcoinpenny or Mjbmonetarymetals.

make a contest where all members can vote for their favorite design and give away a coin random to like 5 to 10 member who voted. Rest of the series, don't how how to give them away, maybe auction or let forum members vote for respected member who deserve a coin, let mods pick members who get a coin??

[chronicsky]

Great idea

I would prefer a coin with hologram, precious metal and limited

Whatever the design or specs, i'd like to see this happen please

[Edits]

......there was already a bitcointalk.org collectible coin

anyone have more info on this? duckduckgo isnt helping.

[krogothmanhattan]

I love the idea. There are some solid coin makers in here that am sure can give you some advice in the art of coin making. Bigtimesphagetti even wrote a book about it.

  I would suggest silver 1oz coins. Loaded preferably. Limited to 100 coins. Goodluck

[Dabs]

1. random raffle, provably fair, sha256 hash of user's name and random secret known by 2 different people revealed on the day, so everyone can verify who won. Hash sorted and lowest 100 wins.

2. comes with a loaded opendime, so no need to do anything to the physical coin or etch anything to it. (ha, i wish.)

[Lauda]

Sounds like a good idea. Watching.

[El duderino_]

Oh me likey likey!!!!

to users who meet some to-be-determined criteria.

So basically only Chipmixer campaigners get it? 

Features:

Each coin to be specially designed as per each user's UID and have their UID engraved in it. Or even better, engrave the user's avatar and name on one side, and a default bitcointalk logo, or anything that exclusively defines bitcointalk on the other side.

How about THAT?

Also if possible, load the exact amount of satoshis/ ubtc/mbtc equivalent to the merit/post count of the person receiving it?

Yeah if it would be a coin.... Then Some coins with HAT-avatars would be an awesome collectible

[El duderino_]

Get XhomerX10 for Some design idea’s , thats the Guy keeping the WO colourfull day in day out

But if it would come, i’m looking forward for the outcome.... and hope to own one with all the rest of coiners in here

Maybe make them Unique to each member you wanna give the opportunity of having one
......

[Arriemoller]

Great idea.
Like jojo said .999 Ag, size of a dollar coin, and some cool scifi design.
I would love that, great initiative.

[squatz1]

Very cool idea, I would without a doubt buy one!

Though I must say I'm kinda useless when it comes to throwing up ideas for it, though I would buy it!

[vit05]

I suggest doing in batches with date and with drawings that refer to an important fact that has occurred in the forum.
That is, a batch with the date of 2010 could have reference to the topic about the Laszlo pizza. The 2013 coin about HODLING. And so on.

In addition, it could have two types. One of .999 Ag and one of brass. So more people could buy or participate in the raffle.
