New Coin Naming Convention
I have put together the below standardized format for identifying coins and rounds in the book. IU hope that it becomes standard among physical crypto-currency.
PF - Pre-Funded (coin funded directly by the manufacturer): Casascius, Microsoul, Titan, TGBEX, Crypto Imperator, Alitin, Nasty Fans seat coins
BF - Buyer-Funded (buyer funds coin directly, before it is shipped): Some Lealana coins
UF - Un-Funded (shipped with private key secured, but without loaded value): Ravenbit, an option for many coins
DIY - Do It Yourself (Hologram Sticker or other affixed by customer): Silver Wallets, SerpCoin DIY,
2FA - 2 FActor (loaded value is not redeemable with the Private Key alone): Some Casascius bars, bhCoins 2-factor coin
Round - (no intention/capability to be used to store crypto-currency; cont considered a 'coin'): Anarcoins, Bitcoinnerd, MJB Monetary Metals,
Ravenbit was one of the first to offer a full DIY kit (I checked some old posts and I think Serpcoin beat me out by 1 week - There may have been a couple of small one-off DIY coins before that) See my Satoshi coin released in 2013, as well as my Node Brass, Node Copper and Node Silver released in 2014.
