Bitcointalk.org collectible coin?

Cardboard coins. Unique and only of value to Bitcoin enthusiasts.

Why not clear plastic coins like BitcoinPenny did?

[somac.]

How about chocolate coins with the gold foil.

People say you can't hold bitcoin, well I won't be holding them, I'll be eating the damn things in front of them.

[KingZee]

If you plan on giving them for free, maybe work with one of the coin makers on the forum, and give them some sort of unique signature? Something to prove that the coin was genuinely affiliated with bitcointalk at some point.

For example instead of minting new coins, send a dust transaction from the forum's donation address to the new coins. Or maybe have the design contain some unique handwritten signature, or anything really that's more sentimental rather than valuable.

I don't know what your criteria is going to be, and while I'm an old time member & my usage of the forums is more seasonal, since I made and lost a lot on bitcoin, it would be nice if I could get one. It's a great initiative though, good luck.

For those of you who have no idea about collectibles.... when done wrong, they fail like this forum inspired set.





p.s.  O.P. I can’t believe the amount of users who follow your every move!!  Lol.  Never seen 90% of these users in collectibles over the last year.  They all can’t actually care about collectibles since they’ve never been here before.  That would leave 2 types of users IMO.  People who just want to kiss your ass or people just looking for free s**t!  Either way it’s sad. 

It would be terrible if you created a forum coin and the actual collectors on your forum, who MADE this section what it is, didn’t get one.

I am actually amazed to see so many different folks in here.  That set was made by a scammer, who didnt even make much off that scam.  Following this thread with interest, it'd be nice if there were some new faces in the physical collecting scene for sure though.

I'd like to see this happen. I agree to it being a silver 1oz coin

Then need to decide if it is a token - ie just metal, or if it could have the potential to be funded - ie private key and hologram (and then decide if it is funded, or DIY)

My thoughts are that I would love a funded coin, but the expenses and trust issues may make this trickier. Something like the Casascius St Petersburg Bowl coin may be more practical. BUT a bitcointalk forum coin, without bitcoin .... doesnt seem right.

DIY funding with holo would get my vote

[El duderino_]

Interesting to see all these new faces in the collectibles section when theymos makes a post... loolz

I’m happy to be here a few days before of that

[OgNasty]

I have long wanted to put out a community coin designed by the community, for the community.

Would be great if lots of people could be involved with this project.

If you need any help theymos, I’m pretty sure that I can get these made cheaper and with a higher quality (see the grades my coins get) than most. I’d also be willing to offer my engraving services, but am not sure that private keys known by an individual would be a great idea. Perhaps more as a personalization or customization option.

Really?

You sure you don't want to take a second thought about that claim of yours?

[wttbs]

I do hope there will be a coin-makers-team named : BLOCK : Bitcoinpenny Lealana Ognasty Casascius Kialara

the best coinmakers join their knowledge and creativity

so you better start contacting them soon theymos

 Or a group of people that have been around here long enough, that have been scammed enough times, grown thicker skins as a result, learned more than most do in a lifetime, and have come to appreciate an "officially sanctioned" forums collectible.

 Either way, suck my fat black cock.

 M'kay ?

Lol.  I don't know what category I fall under here, but I'm a fan of the forum--not necessarily physical bitcoin collectibles--and that's what drew my attention.  I had suggested a deck of cards a few months ago with much the same intent (not commemorating the 10 year anniversary, though). 

I'm not looking for a freebie, nor do I think I'd even qualify for one since I haven't even been here 4 years yet.  Just voicing my support....and now I'll slowly back away, shutting the door gently on my way out.  Peace out.

[teeGUMES]

This thread is about a COMMUNITY coin, this isn't a pissing match. Yes people have come in here following theymos' post that aren't naturally in the Collectibles board every day. Does that mean they aren't a part of the bitcointalk community? No it doesn't.
Do we have a lot of coin creators that are active right now? Yes we do. Does that mean we should shit on somebody for offering their services? No it doesn't.
Do we also have coin creators that fucked right off due to toxicity on the Collectibles board? Absolutely. So keep your comments to yourself if you aren't going to act as a community for a community sourced coin.

Fair enough and I appreciate your point.  On the flip side if you spent some more time in the section you’d see how much better it is.  The old collectors police it pretty well.  People watching out for one another to avoid the scams you may have grown accustomed to.  All kinds of tech being used as well.  A wonderful Casascius tracker among others to help raise a red flag should coins start being swept.  

pass on the blowjob

Really?

I can obviously be wrong, proven by the well hung black man quoted above.  


Edit:
Apologies for derailing this.  Sure, sometimes I’m an asshole....

Plenty of other makers that can produce coins of same or lower cost and of the same or better quality.

From what I’ve seen over the years when it comes to coins being graded and their pricing, I disagree with your statement. However, I do urge theymos to do the legwork to get quotes and review prior coin grades as opposed to taking my word for it.

As for features, I'd point to the last coin I created as having some great ones.

• .9999 Fine Silver (four 9's)
• Engraved Private Key
• Sequential Vanity Address
• Enameled Colorization
• Partial Select Gold Plating
• Custom Hologram

While he did a fairly big no-no a couple of years back, I think that if this actually comes to fruition then CryptoImperator's input would be valuable when it comes to design.
If we're just talking about the quality of coins that have come out in recent times, I would probably place him near (or at) the top.

[krogothmanhattan]

Lets not forget oneNattylitecoin...amazing designs for sure.

Have you sorted the milk spotting issue?

[BTCcollector19]

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,

Great idea Bavi!   (To ask Mike Caldwell of Casascius to design it)

Love the idea for a 10-year anniversary coin.

How the hell you become a collector?Well, you start from somewhere of course and here is one great chance for those who want to be collectors, but did't have enough knowledge to buy some coins in the Collectibles section.
I've been browsing around for a while looking on different coins but never had the bet on any auction.
It will probably come the time when I will join the collectors' brotherhood. All my experience till now was the Krogos' free raffles, in which I won a few coins.
I'll keep an eye on this idea. It will be good start for me
