[Interest Check] Monero Silver Set ICG 70, 70, 69

[wheelz1200]

Question: Are these the first Monero coins? If not Who is the first Monero coin maker and which year they came out because I am interested into the 1st edition as always.

AFAIK, The first actual Monero silver coins came from Cryptonic21, on his site cryptonic.net back in 2014. (These were not loaded, but very nice nonetheless).

However, Smoothie/Lealana was the first to come out with loaded Monero coins a few years later.

Mega Raffle FTW!!  

I like the loaded 1000 xmr goldie (I think made by luigi) (only 10 made) predates smoothies loaded coins

Yeah he was one of the originial developers that was interested in it from the time XMR forked from bytecoin.   Cool guy and made a hella cool collectible.

2 prizes.....  The silver set as first and the rest for second. 

I like this option for what it's worth! Beautiful set for sure!

Thank you all. I gotta have cryptonic then and I know exactly who has tons of that.

Any decision from the original thread owner for the raffle

I also think 2.5BTC is a huge premium for whoever posted that..... the last silver set sold for 225 XMR.

I didn't post it, alaknob did the "rough" maths lol... But I wouldn't part with my set for less myself. That auction was shit, I agree, but these coins are some of the finest crypto coins made, IMO, and if you truly believe in Monero, they are worth hodling, if possible.

So my reasoning with wanting to do a raffle was primarily to help justify a price increase for the set. By itself I probably value the set way more than what it’s probably worth. By throwing in some other stuff in there, it helps me (in my mind) to justify letting go of my dream set. I just got some extra things and set reasonable (more pessimistic) prices on them. Then I figured having a raffle with all the stuff I’m listing for a total of just over 2.5 is a reasonable number for everyone.

If people are interested I can really up the ante and include some more sexy stuff and bump up the price of the tickets a bit and create more prizes. I have a 10 year (yogg) polymerbit #13 serial, a 2014 kialara original, and a bunch more stuff if people would be interested in that (?).

Your coins your choice but I don't care for raffles and would never participate in one. Just like I don't buy lottery tickets. I get it, you are trying to maximize your profit but it would be a shame to break up the 100/50/25 silvers so I would be bidding on that set if auctioned with bids in bitcoin. So I would vote you either a) auction everything in one lot or b) do two auctions to run simultaneously with the 100/50/25 silvers in one lot and the rest in a second lot. Good luck with the sale whatever you decide.

Auction that shit individually. Split the set if needed. Make my set rarer

See personally I don’t like the idea of bulking a bunch of things together in a lot (besides something that’s a set like the xmr coins), because I’ve gotten screwed a couple times in the passed when I’ve tried it.

So a question to the people who prefer an auction... How do you like the idea of letting people bid on individual coins, but people are incentivized to win the complete set by giving some free goodies to the person who wins all three? So like in my example in the OP, if the winner wins the full set they get the 5 xmr brass and spesmonerujo notes. (Obviously willing to change as needed)

Like I get this ends up being my decision and all, but I want to do the thing that makes the most people happy to participate in because that will probably end up being more fun for people plus probably end up being the most profitable for me as well in the long run.

You can do something like this to auction the 3 coins separately but give the incentive to person if he/she wins all 3 coins.. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5154820

This set is beyond the price range for a lot of us on this board. I've dabbled in raffles here and there (I'm not a gambler), but for this set I would make an exception and enter the lottery. The reward is just too good.

[jwinterm]

I'd play the raffle but what happens if you don't sell all the tickets?

Normally what other people have done in the past is they do “raffleceptions”. Basically a raffle to win some tickets for the main raffle and runner ups get an entry for the next raffleception.

It gets to be a pain in the ass though if that’s what you are asking lol

Here is my opinion: Raffle One Item at a Time

- Do one Item at a time
- Ticket will be cheaper and more people will be able to participate because most people cannot effort larger set.
- You will get your value out quickly
- Raffle is for fun more than value vs auction is for serious business. YOU decide.

Ehh I think at this point I’m convinced if I was doing a raffle I will be keeping them as a set. I will split if I’m doing an auction and incentivize people to win the whole thing because I think it would be interesting to see a real valuation on each coin (I’ve never seen a set be split).

I’ll make a decision sometime soon, by the end of tomorrow at the latest.

More interested in this decision than Kawhi and KD’s offseason decisions combined

[TMAN]

Pay Hhampuz to do the raffle. He is the master after all

[moneyman12]

I'd be willing to buy for 225 XMR. This is the latest price I've seen for similar item.

Thanks again all for your input, I really did take everybody's thoughts into consideration but felt this is in my best interest (and most people here too).
