Re: CYPHER HODL-Experimenting with ideas for different physical bitcoin designs
I've been marinating in thought waiting to craft a reply to this.
First off, kudos on your efforts to innovate. Really love seeing new ideas brought to this space.
First off, easily the most attractive Holo in quite some time. Great job capturing it in photo.
Now the coins. I'll just be honest.
1. Litecoin - overall I dig it. Samsara did it first, do nothing groundbreaking here, except this one comes loaded, so maybe that is a first. Anyhow, I think if find the coin more attractive if the load values were related. Maybe 1 ltc and whatever the ltc/btc ratio is for the btc value at time of making the coin. I think this would be a rad way to time stamp the coin personally.
2. Doge coin. - I hate doge/memecoins. So I didn't like this coin. Then I read the quote on the rim of the obverse. Lol'd. Immediately changed my opinion. Good coin. Good design.
3. Raw transaction - no feedback, but I dig the innovation. Cool idea.
4. Multi value. Really cool, tbh, I think it would be more well executed in bar form. More space for holos/values/abstract. Nobody wants to peel, but if you're gonna do a multi value item, I'd love to see as many holos/keys as possible. Makes it a peel as you need kinda item. Good long term storage physical format for a savings brick. Like the coin, would drool over a bar.
5. Multisig - no thoughts as I am not comfortable with multisig yet, but two of those holos is twice as nice!
Keep it up krogo!!!

Thanks Ticked! Appreciate the feedback!
I am a Bitcoin Maximalist, but I feel when it comes to physical crypto collectables I had to introduce a change in elements that might be up some other collectors alleyway so to speak.
I picked Litecoin as I do see it the silver to bitcoins Godl. I even todl Charlie what quote I would be putting on the coin as homage.
And yes, the Doge coin quote is perfect for what it is of course. Very few people are aware of these quotes, so glad you pointed it out
Have never thought to make a bar, my holograms are 2 inches in diameter and I would think the bar would need to be a nice size to accommodate the holos.
Overall, thanks for your feedback. I have three other designs in the works as we speak which I will be posting hopefully in a week or so...depending on the mail system!
Love them. My feelings are pretty in line with Ticked's actually.
Looking at the some of the coins, is the red circled area a nod to Ravenbits?

Thanks Geo! Appreciate your thoughts and feedback.
I wish I could say that, but no. The symbol came from a google search of blockchain like this one https://thenounproject.com/icon/block-chain-566220/
My initial image for my Cipher Bills was to create a hooded Satoshi Nakamoto with his arms outstretched kinda like the Jesus in Brazil
And around his head instead of a halo, there would have been a halo of blockchain instead. And in the background would be the Bitcoin rising sun.
Well, that did not come out as I expected it, so I only showed the head instead and instead of a full halo, I placed the blockchain circuit on top of his head instead.
It made my day as it came out to be more mysterious and ominous. I did not use for my trademark though, I use it on some of my items if I have room to place in there.
