this is the first cryptosmith thread i found so sorry about bumping a month old thread.
I don't know if this is feasible, if not, pardon my ignorance, but would it be possible to brand the BitShares logo on the silver/gold? I don't know if that's too far fetched or if it could even hurt adoption since people could not like seeing it there, but either way, it's still gold/silver. That way you would literally have bitgold and it would be nice to have the bitshares logo stamped on it i guess. just some random thought
btw, do you think it would make sense to make physical bitshares coins? theoretically, you could be the source for everyone to buy physical bitAssets. Don't know if this makes much sense as you could have the physical asset yourself but, meh idk, random ideas once again
Is it possible, yes.
Is it economical viable, not really. I purchase the metal through a wholesaler and the metal products come to me finished. What your suggesting would require the metal to be re smelted.
I mean I love the idea and I think it would be cool as hell but unless I had a very very large order I just don't know how I could make it work.
Thanks for your interest.
