[SALE] The Halvening 2024 playing cards featuring Bitcointalk users

[fillippone]

I am definitely interested.
Two questions:

• The stats are the one that would be polled at the time of the halving?
• Why generating a custom image instead of using the avatar? I guess that would be way more representative of an user than a custom image, that could instead be used when an avatar is not present.

Interesting.

Maybe i am missing something, but I believe I should be in the top merits users between 2016-17, as I registered 31-12-2017. Or in 2018 depending on time zone? I am in neither lists

Very interesting proposal and good idea, i support every user who brings new things to the community and everything who can make the communitie ties even grow stronger.

I hope a lot of people buy the cards, in my case i cant because to be shipping into my country is very dificult maybe in the future i can brougth someone if this become easier.

Also a honor to be in a card.

~I'll send a custom list by your deadline. PM you with payment qs =)

Excellent, thanks for the interest!... and good point on the naming.

These are meant to be commemorative deck(s), partially why the smoother gloss finish was picked, but they are definitely playable!

1) Stats would be pulled on the day of halving, as the cards are generated. I'm debating whether to re-pull the lists of users for each on the day of halving, which is a separate process (currently), and could change the order of users... this may depend on what I have up against me that day, with time. Either way, the stats shown on each card would be pulled from BPIP on the day of halving.
2) AI imagery was ultimately a safer choice here for me to get them printed.

Sorry for the confusion - and big thanks for catching this. My lack of timestamps on the end dates for my queries caused it to not really include Dec. 31st, so you weren't picked up in that deck.    I've fixed it, and went through each of the other lists, you ended up being the only one that got skipped, but all queries were updated.

2 decks for me.

1) As discussed, just because I think it's cool. All Dave all the time. Just me on every card.

2) If possible a deck with the most merit from the beginning 2009 till 2024. I think that would be more interesting. Just my view.

Both Gold Gilt no special box.

Post or PM a payment address / link.

Thanks,
Dave

I’m definitely going to order a couple of packs. Think I will have one pack as the top 52 received merit posters and  I may pick a customised pack as the second pack.

Will confirm via PM soon when I know what I want.

Amazing work by the way.

Excellent, I have you noted. 2009-2024 would basically be the top 52 total merit count, which is what I had done with the sample pack (top 52 at that time, at least). I'm already planning to have an overall top 52 most merit deck as well, so that should be available.

Much appreciated, thank you for the interest!!


Anyone have thoughts (good or bad) on if the ability to hide the card type/symbols should be offered?  It would still need to end up as a full 52-55 deck of cards, depending on the 3 additional cards, but there could be ways offered to hide card type/symbols. I don't want to devalue the playing card idea here, but also like the thought of potentially allowing more customization.

[DaveF]

Either I missed it or you didn't say. Are you printing these or are you having the printed?

Really does not matter much, but since you did bring up the hiding the card type / symbols was thinking it could be a thing where we can get cards printed with the BTC logo or other things.

Since yes I am planning to use a deck as 'business cards' at BTC meetups if you could get the cost down in general it might be a cool idea. Paying whatever for a 1/2ing deck is one thing. $50 for the deck for giveaways at meetings is a lot. I would just bring photo donuts with the BTC logo at that point. https://photodonuts.com/

I was able to generate all of the images needed shortly after the halving. I needed 2-3 hours to complete everything and I ended up having no clue if it was going to end up on 4/19 or 4/20 (UTC), so I actually did it twice , but the 2nd set on 4/20 is what will be used. Sale thread or update to the OP is coming as soon as I can.

A different design and a lower quality card stock would definitely be better suited for a business card, possibility for the future. Although, maybe it depends on the intent at the meetups... we seem to be comparing the lowest cost option of $45 (plus shipping) for 52-55 physical cards that include some type of info. to reach you, to ~$60 for 36 donuts with a BTC logo on it that will get eaten?   ~$1.66/person you are reaching with donuts and ~$1/person (with US shipping) on physical cards, plus you gotta transport the donuts... that said, some people might just want a donut. *shrug*

Donuts: https://youtu.be/ce5D1VF4STo?t=61

The thing with the donuts is everyone (well most people) at the meets wind up taking pictures of them and putting them on Instagram, FB, X or wherever.
I usually put a small URL in there too.

New idea.....dount flavored business cards....

I have even at times dumped a lot of $ on custom labeled soda.

I’ve been on the forum 10 years and this is the first time I’ve ever wanted to buy anything from anybody.

Can’t wait to receive them.

[ibminer]

For anyone I haven't mentioned this to already, the OP now has some updates, including digital sample images, to get an idea of what the fronts for each deck should look like.

Thanks to everyone for the orders & support, can't wait to get these into people's hands!

That's a pretty big statement! Again, thank you!!

[fillippone]

Order placed and paid.
Honestly, this deck of cards is a great statement about the community of this forum.
I'm already looking for the next one in 4 years!
I can't wait to put my hands on my customised deck, with different meanings for each suit:

• Spades: Italian Board members
• Hearts: forum OG's
• Diamonds: WO OG's
• Clubs: fillippone relevant members

[buwaytress]

Just confirming that my order was fulfilled also, I'll add an update once the decks arrive -- they're a gift so I won't be able to "review" them but I'll be sure to pass on the feedback. Can't see how I won't be happy though, the samples were enough to convince me =)

Also very glad others think so!

Agree! I built mine around a different community, and maybe nowhere near as illustrious as the Bitcoin OGs, but still a part of the forum I like to think is one of the more active ones =)

Thanks again for the order and support!!

Maybe more for multi-deck owners, I'm curious if it creates any problems that there isn't really an ID or description distinguishing these deck's in the design itself. If you got different options with each deck, they would be more distinguishable from each other, but I originally hadn't anticipated the multiples.

There are some fixes in mind if it is an issue. It would be somewhat easy to throw an ID or description on the custom tuck boxes, although not everyone would have those. I could also add something to the back's, but I'd rather leave the back's alone to maintain the look. But I'm curious if it is an issue for anyone or am I just overthinking here?
