To all Coinographic clients and customers:

We would like to apologise for the delay in announcing the winners of the competition. This has been due to the numerous issues we have encountered this week, most notably our CEO's PC which unfortunately broke down.

Everything has now been resolved and Coinographic is back open for business, so without further ado we'd like to announce the winners!

Gold Plated Brass Coin:
1st Place: Litcoin Collector (wins the fully funded coin (0.50 BTC .999 gold plated brass), + 2 Bitcoins)
2nd-5th Place: thermost, MrBAU, iawgoM, Trivelius (will each receive 0.25 BTC)

Silver Plated Brass Coin:
1st Place: iawgoM (wins the fully funded coin (0.10 BTC .999 silver plated brass), + 2 Bitcoins)
2nd-5th Place: Trivelius, LitcoinCollector, AT101ET (will each receive 0.25 BTC), joint 5th place: Sarahiko, jcoin200 (will each receive 0.125 BTC)

We will be in touch with all prize winners via PM next week.

Thank you.

How did you arrive at the winner? Did you just ignore your own rules and common sense along the way?
Votes from maximuss, GigaPixels, losh11, Kimax, rancidgash, AnonBitCoiner and bhantom all did not meet your own rules.
Other votes came within minutes of each other and voted exactly the same as they did in September's competition.
Both of your announced winners were clearly manipulating the votes and you seem to be condoning this behavior.

Maybe next time I will enter your competition with something my daughter drew and announced it on my mining pool and get 100+ votes from people who'd felt compelled to vote for me.

What a joke.

Thanks for putting on the competition Coinographic.

Congratulations to the winners.

Stop crying like a bitch MrBAU, what a fucking pussy. You shouldn't have even won the last competion in the first place becasuse you were sending out pms to the top 3 guys that all got disqualified. In your pms you were offering to sell votes. Of course you used one of your sockpuppet accounts. We checked your IP and the IP from that sockpuppet and guess what - they were the same. So actually you should have been disqualified.

Please talk nicely, I don't think I've talked to you disrespectful in the first place.
Secondly, Who is we that you checked the accounts? first come with prove of what are you talking and if it comes to that, when and if it comes to this allegation I'll disclose to Mr. Coinographic my ip/isp and location. You're just trying to throw bad words toward me.

This is not a complain I just asking a vote recount and provide details on how the voting count was done.
All of this people who voted legitimate for the design they like their votes are ignored.

When I provide prove that the vote isn't as it is, I'm called a, quote "fucking pussy". Despite what others think I still like being fair, all my votes were casted by people that I did not have influence over them at all.
I hope Mr. Coinographic does see that and he himself could check with an admin/moderator of the forum if there's any doubt, and recount the votes right to see who actually won.

And on top of that when I read comments like yours I feel a bit upset knowing the fact isn't true, This community is toxic, and would advise Mr. Coinographic to change the approach with all this voting and just let his team choose the design they like, This voting sends a bad vibe all around.
Like I said before and this is the last decision I'll not participate in any more competitions, what it's going on in this competition and the last is a disrespect towards me.

[MrBAU]

Quote PM from Mr. Coinographic "there will not be a recount.  Our decision is final", Don't expect fair counting of the votes next time.
A total disappointment.

[Coinographic]

To all Coinographic clients and customers:

As MrBAU has quoted, our decision is final and there will be no recount. We would like to address the voting and put things into perspective for you all.

One of our rules contained an error, where "any vote from an account that has not had any posting activity after 4th October 2014 will not be counted" should have in fact been "before" the 4th October 2014. We apologise for what we felt was an obvious typo; we only noticed it until after the competition and amended it accordingly in our votes. If we were not to amend this rule, inactive or sockpuppet accounts (provided they were created before the 4th November 2014) could have easily posted on other Bitcointalk forums before making their votes, which we would have then counted - unfairly - as valid. We hope this clears up any confusion.

Please find our votes spreadsheet here. Note that users such as maximuss, losh11 and RancidGash have valid votes under the correct rules.

This will be our final statement on this matter. Due to the feedback we've received and drama that has taken place throughout our contests, there will be no more design competitions on Bitcointalk in future.

We would like to thank you all for participating in this competition and we look forward to manufacturing the winning coins.

Thats too bad.  In theory a design contest is a good idea because it could really embody something the community wants to see in a physical bitcoin.  Unfortunately the way votes came in, no body wants to accept the outcome.  Hopefully this doesn't affect sales and the final product is a good quality coin.

And even though my designs did not win, I'll still say thanks to Coinographic for hosting the contest.  Good luck with sales!

Dear Coinographic, designers and physical (bit)coin enthusiasts,

Congratulations to iawgoM for 1st place Silver coin.
I am realy looking forward to work with Coinographic and complete the Gold coin design.
Regards,

LitcoinCollector


On another note: Competing in the Coinographic contests gave me the push to buy physical (bit)coins myself.
I think it is big a loss for designers on bitcointalk that Coinographic is not going to do contests anymore, for reasons we all understand.
Coinographic does a lot of good for btc and altcoins, they invest a lot of time, money, effort in promoting bitcoin/altcoin which benefits the whole crypto community.

The drama came because you managed the entire thing poorly, and worse, rewarded cheaters.
Your coins will forever be tarnished because of this. If there's anyone to blame, it's you.
I just hope all your customers will receive their pending LTC coins without any more computer problems.
