Title: [FOR SALE] - Beautiful Paper Bitcoins - UNFUNDED - Custom Printing - Any amount
Post by: FLHippy on October 24, 2012, 02:34:16 PM
I'm selling UNFUNDED physical BitCoins printed on 32lb 100% cotton paper using a high-end color laser printer. They come in packs of 10 for 1.5 BTC or $22.50 PayPal. Shipping is free. All you need to do is add funds to the notes and then give them away or sell them. These notes are beautiful! Easy to redeem! Redemption Instructions included. Webcam or smartphone required to redeem. Email support is free.

Edit - Nov 18 - LAST CALL! - DO NOT ORDER AFTER NOVEMBER 19. I AM LEAVING FOR MIAMI ON MY SAILBOAT ON NOV 21.

If you sell coins on eBay or are interested in selling coins on eBay, this is the safest way to do it.

Bitcoins regularly sell for 60% over market value on eBay.

The front side of the note has a beautifully intricate design featuring Leonardo Davinci. There are two QR codes. One for the public key used to fund the note and one for the private key used to redeem the note. The back side of the note features beautiful and helpful text in a wave pattern. The private key is protected from both sides of the note with a high quality holographic tamper evident sticker.

You can choose from the Leonardo design, the PSY design or the Turing design. The leonardo design is the same size as a US dollar. The PSY design is slightly smaller lengthwise. The turing design is the smallest of the three. if you prefer a custom design, which you provide, I can do that too but there will be a setup charge.

Your notes will be custom printed with a name of your choice reading "Printed By: [Your Name Here]"
You can choose from the following denominations .01, .05, .10, .25, .50, 1, 5, 10, 20, 25, 50, 100 or "blank".
Custom Vanity addresses will be created for your notes. You can pick a word up to 5 characters long to appear in the public key. Some examples are....

1JoeXjjNyngaLgPDAWfyYWA3T3cujFyjFM
1FLH1pPyN5nNxhJUafyd2cUkBwbAaZUNQP


Vanity addresses and private keys are generated in a completely off-line environment on my RPI specifically set up for this task. 100% air-gap security from generation to print. Key information is destroyed once printing is complete and the printer's history is wiped clean after every print.

Paper notes can be used as a bitcoin piggybank. Completely offline, completely safe from hackers. No one can steal the funds you store on a paper note. Put the note in a safety deposit box and it is even safer!

The ink on these notes will not smudge and will not bleed when wet. It will survive a trip through the washing machine but you've only got a 50/50 shot of it surviving the dryer  All the notes I have tested were still readable after going through the wash/dry cycle in my laundry machines. Some notes were shredded in the dryer run but even with the shredded notes, the tamper evident sticker held the redeem QR code together enough that the private key could be read.

You can add any quantity of funds to the note.

Paper notes are very safe. A hacker cannot steal money stored on a paper note.

USA SALES ONLY PLEASE! If demand is high enough, I will offer international shipping.
I WILL ONLY SHIP TO A VERIFIED PAYPAL ADDRESS IF PAYING BY PAYPAL!
No p.o. Boxes!
FREE SHIPPING - FREE SHIPPING - FREE SHIPPING - FREE SHIPPING - FREE SHIPPING

If you don't trust me and want to have escrow, I have the same item on BitMit at the same price with escrow.

I will put your item in the mail the same day you order. Delays are possible with vanity addresses that have a higher difficulty.
Please PM me for instructions. I prefer BTC Payments so the BTC price is discounted.

Please note, the turing design is not compatable with my tamper evident stickers and none will be provided for the turing notes.

If you prefer to have no tamper evident stickers Just let me know and a larger redeem QR code will be printed on the notes.

The PSY design image shows what it looks like when the tamper evident sticker is removed.

Thank you so very much for your order Scrybe :)

It is all packed up and will be on its way to you first thing in the morning. It is coming from Florida so it might take the better part of 5 business days to arrive but the post office is showing 2-5 business days for the shipping time to your address. I sent you a delivery confirmation number via PM.

I included printed instructions designed for a complete bitcoin newbie. If you need these instructions in digital format so you can print them for the people you will give them to just let me know.

These are beautiful. Expect my order in the near future. Trying to decide whether family, friends, and co-workers will think I'm bonkers for a BTC gift for xmas.

Thank you for the kind compliment :) These notes are the result of the hard work of several people. I've tried to give those people credit but I especially would like to credit Casascius for leading the physical bitcoin concept and helping others to produce them too.

When gifting coins to a newbie, You might consider including...

A list of places they can spend BTC.
A chart showing the long term increasing value of BitCoin.
A nice frame to hang it on the wall.
To those so motivated, A CD that gets them on TOR ;)

Your OP says that denominations are available in fives and ones, but I also want twos'

I.e.

I want a set of .01 BTC, .02 BTC, .05 BTC, .1 BTC, .2 BTC, .5 BTC, 1 BTC, 2 BTC, 5 BTC and 10 BTC

All of the twos in double amounts compared to the ones & fives.  In this fashion, any amount of BTC can be tendered (without change due) between .01 BTC and 11.10 BTC using 12 bills or less.

EDIT: Upon review, that would be "...21.10 BTC using 13 bills or less".  The point being that including 2's are more 'paper efficient' than quarters if the goal is presenting an exact amount due.

Sorry for the delay, I have been away hunting.

I can print them in any denomination you like. No problem.

Also, I am leaving for points south on Nov 21. This offer ends on Nov 19 so that I have time to print/ship them before I leave.

I will be gone till the end of March when the weather warms back up in the Daytona Beach area.

If you would like to order notes in the set you described, just send me a private message and I'll get them printed and cut right away.

I don't have gavin notes. If you have a blank gavin note template for me to use I can probably print them too.

LAST CALL for these notes. I am leaving on my sailboat in two days for points closer to the equator. This is your last chance until spring to order some of these beautiful notes :)

Thank you to everyone who ordered.

A storm seems to be brewing on this one. Speculation that maybe the OP is keeping a record of all the private keys and stealing peoples funds.
