f*D | Kiaʻi Zero Giveaway

[FiniteByDesign]

Finite by Design has been around for 13 years now, which is honestly a little crazy to think about.

I've learned a lot during that time and received plenty of feedback along the way. I've always tried to take that feedback constructively and use it to make the work better.

This has become a genuine passion for me. I absolutely love what I do, and somewhere along the way I realized that I don't want f*D to simply be a brand that occasionally drops another Bitcoin collectible.

I want to build a universe around it.

I've put a tremendous amount of time and effort into building that out over the past year. I've become more and more intentional about every release, not just the quality of the finished piece, but the thought behind it, the design, the details, where it belongs, and how it connects to everything around it.

Nothing is created just for the sake of putting something new out. I want each release to have a reason for existing and a place within the larger world I'm building with f*D.

A lot of that work now extends beyond the individual pieces themselves and into the site. There are connections between releases, Easter eggs, history, records, different collections and series, and quite a few things that probably aren't obvious unless you spend some time exploring.

I'm incredibly proud of what f*D is becoming, and since Bitcointalk is where my involvement in this community began, I'd love to invite you guys to have a look.

KIAʻI ZERO GIVEAWAY



If you have some time, head over to finitebydesign.com and explore the site. Check out the different collections, individual pieces, Archive, and anything else that catches your attention.

Then come back to this thread and share one thing you discovered that you found interesting.

I'm intentionally not giving you a list of specific things to find. Part of the fun for me is seeing what catches everyone's attention.

As a thank you for taking the time to explore, I'm giving away the Kiaʻi Zero, Stainless Steel, Buyer Funded piece pictured above.

Everyone who participates with a response will be entered, and I'll randomly select one winner.

Giveaway runs Wednesday, September 23 through Sunday, September 27. Winner announced Monday, September 28.

No purchase necessary.

Thank you to everyone here who has collected my work and followed along over the years.

There's a lot more to come, and I'm having more fun building it than ever.

I noticed the archive is missing your older releases? But I really like the Seal Record.

Most interesting: "Time Chain Traveler is taking shape behind the scenes. Months in the making, the first chapter is getting closer."

if you go to "Authenticity" and then pick "the Finite Archive"

you should see the old releases.

Ah -- I missed the dropdown box for "explore the earlier archive" to show the full list - nice, thank you

I didn't realize the collector's cards are numbered and will change editions after 100.
Most interesting is looking through the archive and seal record sections.

The hexagonal metropolis coins stand out to me. Mixes it up from all the round coins.

 A silver hex BTC coin would be awesome!

I’ve been a fan and collector of f*D. Pieces are always thoughtfully designed and nicely crafted. The thing that caught my eye this time being on the website was "the bridge": every piece is a bridge of something familiar and bitcoin. I also hadn’t come across the Commissioned Collection before.  Looking forward to seeing what you build next.

The vault caught my attention. I find the idea very mysterious and exciting, as it raises many questions: what's in it exactly? How precious is it? How rare? When will it be de-vaulted? How? And so on

The Time Chain Traveler card collection seems also very interesting - can't wait to know more about this.
Cheers! And thanks for this giveaway

Thanks everyone! This is honestly exactly what I was hoping for with this. It's really interesting seeing which different parts of the site catch everyone's attention.

@Est2013 - Glad you found the earlier Archive, and thanks for the assist there @Mopar! Happy to see that the Seal Record and TCT stood out. TCT has probably consumed more of my brain this year than anything else I've worked on. Really excited for that one.

@Pistachio - Glad you caught the numbering on the Collector Cards. I think it's a nice little bonus for collectors, and I hope they become something fun to collect alongside the pieces themselves.

@Arrow811 - Those Metropolis pieces are quite a throwback, thanks for the mention. A silver hex is an interesting thought...

@Bitgoat65 - I really like that... "the bridge." That's probably one of the better descriptions of what I've tried to do with much of my work. Our space is small and intimate, which is nice, but I would love to see it grow. I think incorporating other things people love and doing a bit of a mashup with Bitcoin can help introduce more people to the space. And yes, the Commissioned Collection is very new.

@Remsjack - I love that the Vault got you asking exactly those questions. I've spent quite a bit of time thinking about the same ones... and yes, there is quite a bit happening with Time Chain Traveler behind the scenes.

Thanks again guys. Keep exploring. I'm enjoying seeing what everyone finds.

I always appreciate the website updates and the creative juices that are clearly flowing behind the scenes. I look forward to the new releases and seeing how the work continues to evolve—from the laser pieces, to the colors and block series, and now the TCG cards.

I also appreciate the amount of time and detail that goes into each piece, whether it’s the microtext, the felt pouches, the colors, or the matching collector cards. There’s obviously a lot of work happening behind the scenes that may not always be immediately noticeable, and I appreciate the effort that goes into all of it.

One thing that really popped out to me while looking through the site was the Vault Breach. Very cool idea, and I like that it also gives someone an opportunity to pick up something they may have missed along the way. The Zero pieces are very exciting as well, especially with the possibility of a true one-off.

I also really like the Cold Storage Seal - Gen 1 and, of course, the ChronoSeal holograms.

It would be really cool to see the Cold Storage Seal Gen 1 on a newly minted silver coin someday!

No need to enter me, and good luck to everyone who participates.

Keep up the great work!
