Got PM saying "this week".

  Happy New Year to all participants! Patience is all we have now.  

I dont mind waiting, but its the false promises such as "This will be dealt with this week" that irritate me.

If they weren't prepared to complete the contest it should have been postponed, or still open.

Perhaps my posting in this thread will get Coinographic to fulfill their obligations of paying out their contest prizes in a timely manner.

They have been attempting to auction coins off and sell them in the goods section and auction section of this forum.

My suggestion is that they pay out all of their prize bounties they promised they would. This contest ended over a month and a half ago.

It would be in good faith that they pay out this contest in full before attempting to sell other coins on this forum.

They appear to have time to post auctions and threads about coin sales and offers but no time to finish this design contest payout.

I'm sure I will get flack from Coinographic about this, but in the interest of people who were promised something and are waiting patiently for their prize(s) I am posting.

Perhaps...

They may be auctioning off the coins in order to pay these bounties, but it seems if this contest was well thought out they would have been prepared to complete it in a reasonable time frame.

It also doesn't seem unreasonable for them to post an update with a date they actually can meet, and not just keep stringing people along.

Not well planned we can agree on. Making promises you can't keep can be frustrating to deal with.

This silence is ridiculous...why is Coinographic ignoring this thread?

I have been following this thread for a while and it makes me sad to see what has been happening here. I have left Coinographic negative feedback, which will be removed once they post an update about the current situation.

I've done the same. Hopefully this is resolved without further delays.

[AT101ET]

I'm still waiting for my coin to arrive.
Payment was sent on the 15th of December. I've received no contact to the emails I've sent asking for an update other than one email saying it will be sent out ASAP.

[Sarahiko]

Any update from Mr. coinographic? has anyone have been paid? we are still waiting.

[AT101ET]

Still no response. I've sent a couple more messages but haven't heard back yet.

I like gold design 3 by iawgoM and silver design 9 by litecoincollector  
The designs are very interesting

[Coinographic]

Firstly we want to apologize for the delay in response here, we realize this is unacceptable.

The company is having cash flow problems at the moment.  We invested 10’s 1000’s into our litecoin collection and currently we have been unable to sell them (even at cost price).

We have full intentions to complete this contest and develop the bitcoins that were designed by the winning members of this competition but currently we are unable to complete this competition.

As soon as we sell some of our existing stock and generate some cash flow we will be in touch with the winning members of this competition and pay the prizes as promised and begin the development of the coins.

Whilst we understand this is not an ideal situation, it’s impossible for us to do anything else other than wait at this stage.

Thank you

May I suggest you find a way to cut costs, and offer the next coins as special orders?  Though not ideal for buyers, it means you don't have to hold inventory.   Or you could just have a few in inventory, then replenish as needed.

If you greatly lowered your golds, you might get some more orders.

Also consider a small deposit and the rest held in escrow, so people could feel comfortable now knowing your cash flow issues.  Otherwise you may have problems getting future preorders where people have to wait.

I also suggest more frequent updates to the community going forward.

Just a few suggestions if it helps.  I think your coins are beautiful and want to see your company continue making more.

We cant lower the price of the golds as believe it or not there is not much profit in them.  We are however giving away free litecoins with gold orders as per our offer thread - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=911946.0

I can have sympathy there, I lost some too trying to deal with litecoins, I think a lot of people were fooled when they shot up to $45/$50.  Now I stay away from any and all "alt-coins".

With that said though, the contest should have been postponed or still open to voting until it was able to be completed.

Been asking for a few days over email for you to fund one of the 25 LTC coins, no response...

[iawgoM]

Sigh...I thought this might happen 

Instead of getting the prize immediately after the results were published, with today's BTC price, it is worth 350 USD less...

I guess that is the next question should the contest only be liable for the bitcoin or the fiat equivalent. Most would argue that the BTC amount should stay the same as the price could have gone up just as much as it could have gone down.

[keyscore44]

Hope it wont take too long to get the btc to pay all the designers, please can the OP post a bit more frequently.

[bithalo]

To the OP...are the 2B Silver "B" and 1B Silver "Ant" still being made?  If so, what's the expected completion date?  Many people have pre paid.

From your post, I understand the new coins from this contest haven't started production.
