I definitely love the idea of a forum coin. Back when Satori was still making chips/coins, Hhampuz who had done several group buys for the collectibles board/community had been in touch with them about producing a custom chip/coin for the community. Unfortunately right as we started to get serious about making it happen, Satori closed shop. However we came up with some ideas for it that I think could be applied here..such as having a design competition.
I would absolutely love it if Casascius, Smoothie (Lealana), or Kialara would be interested in taking on this project, however I can tell you the likelihood of that happening is slim to none. I think having either an active maker or someone whos willing to take on the project (with a strong background in crypto coins or coins in general) as well as winning a design competition would be a cool and fair way to chose whom is to make the coin.
As for whether the coin is loaded or not..I would highly recommend we try and make it a loaded piece. There are ways around producing and selling a loaded coin in which youre not breaking any laws or acting as a money transaction service without a license (breaking FinCEN regulation like what Casascius ran in to).
I voted for 300 coins. I know theres likely 100 of us in the collectibles sub whod want a coin, and it would sure be a shame if the hardcore collectors like us would not get a chance at grabbing one. If the forum paid for it that would obviously be amazing. I wouldnt mind paying for a coin however ( plus this might be more feasible
).
If we do end up running a competition Id like to throw my hat in the ring..however Id much prefer if Casacius, Lealana or Kialara took the reigns, but again, HIGHLY unlikely imo.
Thanks for bringing this to life!
