Bitcointalk.org collectible coin?

[hilariousetc]

Or the most trusted     www.bpip.org

Nah, I'm not on this one.

[andulolika]

Why can't we just get a nice coin with zero profits for maker, just paying the manufacturing and expenses in group.  That way we can get a nice silver coin for a bit over it's weight price. Could have somewhat added for design, can't make an opinion.

[Agrawas]

Oh man, i am not on either of the list, gotta work my way up there soon..

Jokes apart, i think there are lot of good suggestions, maybe have a group of top merits and trust people get together and make a decision to get this rolling.

Can wait to see the coin that comes out of all these decisions.

[krogothmanhattan]

I say...let everyone be able to buy one at a reasonable cost. I wouldnt mind paying at all. Be fair to let everyone be able to get one and not just a select few. Cheers

[o_e_l_e_o]

Maybe one for the top ten merited users also

I've always said you were the smartest mod.

[jackbauercsgo]

Need to build a decision tree here, for starters.

If this is a coin to celebrate "big names", then proceed to path A.

If this is a coin for all Bitcoin Talk members to participate in, then proceed to path B.


The reason we're seeing so many wildly different suggestions is because there's no clear direction from OP.

[wheelz1200]

I vote for a royal rumble type distribution.  Invite 100 people into the ring, last 10 men/women standing gets a coin.  Meet in Bora Bora for the rumble, trip funded by the OP, seems like a reasonable solution.

If we do this like public n shits we could even get trip for participants for free.

Where is the biggest ego list?

I absolutely know for who that COIN would be..........

[Lesbian Cow]

This thread is a waste of Internet.

[El duderino_]

If their comes one i would make it very special and give them out random/Raffle  
But stricktly to people on the forum with only good and honest intentions of participating @the forum
Those members should be chosen by Some established members and be dropped in a list
Maybe a bit of trusted-with Some earned merit-good active etc
Every section could have a few OG members that could select there part of people they see worthy of being on that list and Then just a fair raffle or something among them.....

- 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?

This is a great idea.  Interesting features should include holograms and molds/dies commissioned from the community's favorite artists.

The best way to make a coin like this would be allocation of access to different versions based on rank.

Of course the coins must have "I AM HODLING" repeated around their edges and their owners' forum rank inscribed somewhere. 

All versions would have the same front text, which would state the obvious

Celebrating 10 Year of Bitcoin Talk, 2009-2019

and feature our motto:

Everyone knows that Bitcoin runs on drama -theymos, Sept 8, 2014

and, in a smaller inscription

Bcash.  LOL

The 3 versions should ideally be as follows

Regular:

(imagine using a gray metal for the black parts and gold for the white bits) 
Back design+sticker by Cryptopods + OGNasty.
Value of 2,100 Satoshis on 1oz copper (black ruthenium-plated with gold accents that will look sleek af)


Hero:

Back should a Crypto Imperator hologram on a Kialara die. 
Value of 21,000 Satoshis on 2oz high relief silver w/ gold-plate accents


Legendary:

Back: collaboration between Mike from Casascius and smoothie from Lealana; one designs the hologram and the other sculpts the die.
Value of 21,000,000 Satoshis on 5 oz of silver w/ gold-plate accents


All the drama around this project just makes it too perfect for Bitcoin Talk.  Would we want it any other way?

This reminds me of something I wrote long ago and can't find now, perhaps it should also be on the coins? 

Satoshi created BitcoinTalk to train the faithful

Why not a card instead of coin like ChiBitCty suggested?

Why not both? They are not mutually exclusive.

Or even better...lets use YOGG´s ColdKey! I am sure he can custom design his cards for us! Keep it in house!

Make it from a top level legendary forum member and a top notch security card!

Where is that artwork from? Did you design it?
Love it.

Thank you for the suggestion Krogoth

We would be very happy to offer special Coldkeys, designed by and for the Bitcointalk community.
That batch would have no minimum order quantity. And if we are to do this, a design contest should be held on the forum, with users voting for their favorite design.
The whole batch can be loaded with an amount of bitcoin to be determined later, or come unfunded.
With the designing and production delays, I feel safe to say that shipping will occur sometime within two months after the GO.

Coldkey cards are secure cold wallets in the shape of a card.
A few features :
- tamper-evident : the physical card state changes when the private key is accessed.
- serialization : each Coldkey has it's own and unique serial number.
- enhanced authentication : with a plain text AuthKey and a UV one, Coldkeys are easily authenticated and it is very difficult to counterfeit them.
- bech32 addresses : save ~40% on bitcoin fees !
and many more...

Please read the ANN thread if you'd like to know more !

I believe the original work has been made by this artist :

He made a few sales here on the forum. I know he's been around for at least a year.

[Kryptowerk]

Thank you Yogg!
btw: Need to take a closer look at your coldkeys, that sounds pretty amazing.

To be honest I wouldn't want to see anythiing related to bcash on those coins. It is all fine making bcash jokes but I don't want to remember that piece of shit fork whenever I see the coin.

** I don't even know if I'm eligible to get a coin, just speaking my mind **

When I look at my coin, I want to remember the good memories like "hodl" or "pizza for 10k coins" or some quotes from satoshi (theymos is ok too )

Not shitheads like Roger Ver, Craig Wright or any other bcash moron.

Just a thought.

Indeed its a BTC thing so we gotta keep it BTC....

And cause of the Long existence of the forum, it could be BTC-forum related, with a few touches of the crazy ride we all have shared and experienced
