This is my idea guys WTF - I send it in earlier. He copied the who five year idea. Come on!

The coins are not similar in anyway regarding the design. It is true that you posted the 5 years of bitcoin idea before iawgoM. The "5 years of bitcoin" had no bearing on our reasons for selecting this design over yours. Thank you for your entry

I'm really surprised that my design didn't got selected on the top 5 even if it had 2 likes already,
If the problem is the printing thing that was mentioned on the post then the same thing applies to the iawgoM design.
Coinographic I'm disappointed on you, when I asked if I should continue working on it you should had said the truth, I wasted some time working on it.

There are other designs looking awful compared to this the quality is higher on mine

When we said you should continue working it, we had not made any decision as to who might get selected for the final 5. We are sorry you are disappointed, but we had to select 5, ultimately there will always be people that are disappointed.

Here is my two cents....

What a crappy selection.... in fact I refuse to vote...

First, your contest rules clearly stated that entries must design everything... including the box...

Quote

You should design all aspects of the coin from the coin itself to the hologram and the packaging it will be supplied in.

Yet you awarded a winner who didn't follow the rules twice, by submitting ONLY a coin. iawgoM. shouldn't even be considered, let alone getting early votes.... where is his box? It is past the deadline and I don't see one. How did he get selected as a final vote?

Also, you said

We are looking for people to be as creative as possible. It is our intention to create the most luxurious & exquisite physical Bitcoin ever minted. We believe with the help of the community here we can do that!

Despite that, you selected 5 plain ol' round coins... When the submission entries had

A CUBE

A SQUARE

AND BY FAR THE BEST OVERALL DESIGN THAT WASN'T EVEN SELECTED

If it were just these issues, possibly I wouldn't have posted in my frustration, and yes... my coin is the square one that wasn't selected but so far you selected a coin that had no box (should be disqualified) and also you selected this!!!

I MEAN HONESTLY WTF guys???

That coin is silver! How could you possibly make it two grams "SOLID GOLD"? The designer even states "engraved gold lines" WTF! How?

Overall this was a pathetic display Coinographic. You could have actually taken a day to make sure you picked correctly. This was terrible.

We made a decision when reviewing the entries that the coin needed to be round. Whilst we do like the creativity of the odd shaped coins, we just felt they are not representative of a coin.

Regarding the boxes Its important to remember at this stage all designs are just concepts, not final products. The designer will be required to design a box should that design win. When the voting is over we will work with the winning designer to perfect the concept and complete the product design.

As far as your comments go on the design by bonksnp2, we saw this very much as a white/yellow gold coin. It is the concept of this design that we like and thats why we chose it.

We are happy with our selections. 5 of us in the office all rated each coin from 1-10, then all votes were added together to form a total score and select the final 5.

Can i please remind everyone that this is a thread to post a vote for the coin you like the best. If you dont like any of them, please dont vote or post.

It seems this thread is filled up with posts from designers that didnt get selected, this is inappropriate and unprofessional. Anyone else notice how there are no negative comments from anyone else?

I would request please if a moderator can clean up this thread and keep it for the purpose it was created

Thank you
