More news on this post.


Hello everyone !

For the upcoming 10th anniversary of Bitcointalk, we imagined something special to commemorate this event.

Artists are solicited a lot lately with the ongoing art contest.
Coldkey is a new brand, we do not have much BTC or Merits to offer, but still, let's make a cool physical item that will be widely accessible;
so everybody can hold onto a memorabilia of when Bitcointalk entered it's 10th year of existence.

It will be a fully functional, not loaded, secure physical cold storage wallet, with the design of the winner.
We will be offering it at a competitive price to make it possible for everyone here to hold their own 10th years of Bitcointalk collectible item.
(Unfortunately, to lower our retail prices we need to pass on the UV for this release)
Made on Bitcointalk.org, by Bitcointalk.org users, for Bitcointalk.org.

This special Coldkey will be available for purchase during one month (from 22nd of November until 22nd of December) without limits in quantities.
Of course, they will be serialized and embossed; we will keep the first & lowest 10 serials for a further auction.
100% of this auction proceedings will go to Charities. *

What is it all about ?

If you don't know about it, let me quickly present Coldkey to you : it is a secure physical cold storage wallet in the form of a card.
We have announced the project in the Collectibles section back in April, since then we have released three different series.

(Our latest collaborative (with 1Dq) release, the History Coldkey)

You can find more informations about our cold storage wallets on our website : https://www.coldkey.eu ;
or on the different ANN threads we made for each serie :
(Genesis Edition, Bitcoin Coldkeys and History Coldkeys)

What about the contest then ?

Right !

We think it would be awesome to create a Bitcointalk.org anniversary commemorative item with a design that comes directly from our community.
This is the reason for this contest. Let's make a Bitcointalk.org item together !

At the end of the contest, a poll will be organized to pick the winning design. (16th to 21th of November)
The winner gets the main prize and contestants making it to 2nd and 3rd place will be rewarded as well.

Contest rules :
- Make a design for a Coldkey that reminds you of Bitcointalk.org.
- It must be your original artwork.
- An entry is a front and a back. Please submit both.
- Dimensions are 54x86mm.
- Any design with some NSFW element will be automatically disregarded.
- You can submit multiple artworks, but please keep them all within ONE single post.
- Due to various reasons, we reserve the right to pick the submissions that will make it to the poll.
- We reserve the right to disqualify any user from the contest, at our sole discretion.

You can project the space for some elements on the design (like the QR codes), but if you don't we will always find a way to fit everything on the Coldkey.
(Do not focus too much on positioning the elements; however a 22x22mm space will be used on the back by our hologram.)

Please submit your designs on this thread.

Deadline : 15th November 2019 11:59pm Paris time.

Thank you very much for reading and considering to take part in our contest.
We are equally impatient and curious to see your art pieces, and very excited at the idea of making a Bitcointalk.org item.

(Please keep this thread clean, it is only for the purpose of the contest. If you want to, comment the project on our ANN thread)

* : maybe split between several ones. Thinking of the Bitcointalk Charity Program, Free Ross, Save the Bees, Sean's Outpost.
