perhaps the most retarded idea I've ever had

Haven't been through the entire thread, but you can purchase silver round blanks for coin striking. Don't know where you are limited to as far as a vendor to do the actual die/stamp work, but providing your own blanks might cut the cost down a bit.

Fucking do it, faggot. I'll buy 10. Will you accept payment crypto?
Edit: What's your opsec like? How long are addresses stored? I happen to have a drop address I can use, but I assure you 99% of users on here do not.

I keep addresses on the storefront until fulfillment concludes and I'm certain I won't need to issue any refunds. That's at least 2 months, up to 4.

I haven't historically accepted crypto for merch. I can look into it.

 

[Trig.Point]

Just value them at $100 instead of $5 and everybody profits.

I agree, It's a bit of a novelty that a piece of a merch can have an inate value, but it shouldn't distract from the fact that the whole purpose is to fund the site, there's no point doing it if margins are tight.

Also if 10 years from now, in a suitably regulated ineternet, Kiwi Farms only exists as a torrent that people download to be horrified, that so much meanness could be directed at Fat Chicks, then the coins could be genuine collectables.

Oh FUCK YES I would

 

[Bass]

Tardbux sounds good to me. I'd get a couple.

I don’t care about value or appreciation, this is a matter of survival for some of us

So who’s gonna be Jersh’s Legate?

 

[Tookie]

Time it around the BidenBux coming in and I'll buy one.

 

[Pike]

If I can pay for it in ETH or XMR I'll buy one. Way cooler than a hoodie.

Idk about a coin, I want a Kiwi Farms plush that's a little stuffed kiwi bird with the farms logo embroidered on its belly. They'd be squishy and lovable just like Josh. Every single person in beauty parlor would buy one, bitches love stuffed animals.

For real though I don't know if something like the above is realistic since I know nothing about how your merch gets produced, but with a Kiwi Farms coin if it has anything remotely meme-ish if you display it and someone asks what it means how the heck are you going to tell them without embarrassing yourself? And even if it avoided anything potentially cringeworthy, it's just not very exciting. Who except weird redneck boomers buy and display collectable coins?

I'd personally gravitate towards selling crap like plushes, pillows, stickers, basically just look at the kind of trinkets the rabid consumer lolcows all seem to love and do that but make it kiwi themed and/or put the KF logo on it. Everyone loves cute shit. Again though, I have no clue if any of that is feasible..

If we raised money for schizophrenia on the side... I could get my therapist and a few friends to throw in too.

 

[ObeseScreamingBlackMan]

I’d be a lot more interested in gay bullions than gay t-shirts.

 

[thankyourandy]

lurker for a while - coins with KF branding would be cool because its a little token of support and not this big thing you buy and have people ask you about

the worst thing about any sort of internet merch is that it makes you look like a massive virgin and normally looks like trash, the best merch barely looks like merch at all especially for clothing (SMALL logos if any, no dumb catchphrases, good coloring, basically tiny references that anyone in the community will get and anybody outside of the community wont even notice)

I have to say, I sent a pic of myself to a friend I hadn't seen in a while, and half of the Void t-shirt was visible. First thing he said was "cool T-shirt." I also really enjoy my Kiwi Soup shirt. It's certainly not obvious, and whether you tell people or not about the site is on you. I think that would extend to the actual logo, although I only remember Josh ever saying he would never brand T-shirts/merch with it (lots of people wanted shirts with a small logo on the chest in the past, never took off.)

 

[Bill The Fucker]

I agree that a 10% margin would be too small. Always keep breakage in mind, especially when dealing with higher base costs.

I wonder if any silver traders will take a coin with the face of an autistic man in drag on one side.

Silver traders will take anything if it's silver - at melt value.

 

[Buffalo Chicken Sandwich]

I would buy a silver KiwiCoin

BTCPayServer might integrate pretty well with the storefront.

Coins sounds cool, hopefully the markup isn’t crazy.

Just think he could overstuff it so then it's feeder kiwi, a sure hit.

I'd personally enjoy a comeback of some of the more "classic" merch on a run or a round of egg shell stickers but realize this isn't necessarily feasible.

 

[BrunoMattei]

I'd pay $50 for a coin. I've spent more money on worse things.
