Presenting to you the first loaded Monero gift-cards. "Privacy - Security - Fungibility".
Loaded with 0.25 XMR (250,000 μ-nero). Currently in the final steps of production. Estimated to be finished within the next 3 - 6 weeks.

Now, this is not just a card with a priv key below some hologram.
Instead it features highest level security standards:
- metal chip placed on top of the card, preventing any attempts to shine light or similar rays through the card.
- highest resistent-level sticker with high-DPI print for the private spend key, same as the one used for the MoonBits chips
- MoonBits high-level security hologram on top

Left side inside the card, metal chip with priv-key sticker and Hologram.

Note: All private spend key handling is done by the manufacturer of MoonBits, not by me. You will get the same level of security and reliability as with any other MoonBits products.

HOW TO RETRIEVE YOUR MONERO XMR FROM THE CARD

Please read this post. Don't hesitate to reach out if you are having any trouble.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5140464.msg62630309#msg62630309

one lowest number card please

Beautiful and job well done

I'm in for 1.  Lowest please.  Can we combo ship to the states with other people interested?

Thank you, #12 for you.

Combo ship approved to any reputable escrow. 10 cards max. per shipment, since they need special packing to stay safe.


Thank you very much!

13 & 17

Edit: 88 as well please

1 white and 1 red please.
Thanks,
Dave

I’d like to grab 6 of your lowest numbers please. Ty  ;)

Edit: didn’t notice there were 2 different ones:
#25 and 100 plz (1 of each)

Thanks guys.  :) Reservations updated.

Sending out pms tomorrow.

One lowest number card please. Beautiful work!

#23 and #24 for me please.

Looks great.

# 22,33,44,55,77,99 for me please

#27 and #127 please!

Wow these are gorgeous !

Please I'd like the card #42 :)
Thanks !

Thank you for the reservations and the feedback.  :)
Everything updated accordingly.

#22 and 99 were reserved before your post (by doce2 and via message), I gave you #122 and #123 instead. If you wish to cancel any of these numbers or want any other available, please let me know.

Over half of the cards are already gone!

Apparently #27 is taken by Agrawas, I'll have #47 instead. (and will get in touch with Agrawas to change if for #27  :D)

One of each. Lowest numbers...

Thanks

I hope you can still manage it, but Agrawas was so kind to let me have his #27, he will take #50 instead. So could you please cancel my order for #47 and sign me up for #27 instead?

Thanks again Agrawas!!  :D

I would like to add #83. Thanks

Will the PGP paperwork be provided for the XMR funded cards?

These look fantastic, very nicely done KW  :)

Thank you! :)
No external paper-work needed.

For anyone not too familiar with Monero I am planning on posting a tiny guide ("verify balance and redeem balance") when the cards get shipped.

All reservations up to date.

#48, #49, #84, #85 for me please. Thanks!

Only 38 Monero giftcards left.
Take advantage of Bitcoins recent fantastic price rally and get one of the remaining ones now.

Reservations updated, thanks all.

I expect shipping to start next Monday! Will keep you posted.

Good to hear! Looking forward to getting the beautiful cards!

Is this Domestic? I'm in the States. I love the idea and the job is clean, great work!

Shipping from EU.
US shipping is definitly possible and was done successfully many times before with other items.

If people have no issues, I can help with group shipping to make it cheaper for everyone here in US.

Please reserve 5 for me, lowest numbers.

Thanks for the reservation.
Gave you 53, 54, and 56.
Now I can either give you additionally 57 + 58 or 92 + 93 - note that #1 - 64 are matte finish (outside) and white inside design and #65 - 128 are shiny finish (outside) and red inside design. That's why I am asking. :)

Sorry for the delay. Expect shipping to start by the end / early next week.
Will keep you posted.

A few cards still available. :)

Another update, more delay.  :-\
One of the shipments for the metal chips (placed on the card, below the hologram+ privkey) went missing. It took a while to inquire about it, now expecting replacement within the next 10 days.
I am sorry about the delay and will keep you posted about any updates on the matter..

Thanks for the update....shit happens bro....I will be patient as I am sure many other will too. ;)

A few updates:

Let me say thank you to everyone who waited patiently for the XMR cards.
Today I am happy to announce, that all cards are getting finalized today and tomorrow and will be sent out on Monday. If you paid already, you can expect a PM with tracking for your purchase by then.  :)

As a tiny thank you gift, I will be raffling off a total of 5x MoonBits 1 BTX (2019 titan finish) chips to everyone that trusted me with my first funded project and has made the payment already.
This will be an automatic raffle. If you purchased 1 - 2 cards, you get 1 slot, 3 - 6 cards gets 2 slots and 7+ cards gets 3 slots. All details will be made in a seperate post.

If you haven't paid yet, please do so now unless you wish to cancel your purchase.

Happy weekend
- KW

Glad to hear! Thankyou! ;)

Sweet!  Cant wait to get mine. 

128 different numbers is oddly specific. Are there gonna be any errors auctioned off?

No.

128 = 2^7

It started with my Bitcoin Hatching (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2235169.msg22535482#msg22535482), limited to 16 or 1111 in binary, which is 2^4.
Decided to stick to these numbers.

Thanks. Coming soon to your destination of choice. :)

Btw: The raffle will be started today or tomorrow.

That isn't in the OP right? That is awesome.

I received my card today !

It's huge :o
It looks really great ! I love it, and the designs are really well detailed. :)

https://i.imgur.com/yuKpJs7.jpg?1

Thanks Kryptowerk ! :D

Thank you so much. You are the third very positive feedback I got from direct card purchasers - it means so much after an honestly more complex project than initially expected.

Oh, and regarding "it's huge" - well my MoonBits partner called these cards gramophone-record-sized.   :D

Received my 2 cards today....great design! Love em...thankyou!

Thanks a lot, Krogoth!

Low numbers #13, #17 available again, same goes for #88!

From the the pictures, I didn't realize how big they were.. But I have to tell you, this is just amazing piece of work...

Haha, yes they are big. Will post some pictures soon, they perform exceptionally well in glass displays. ;)



UPDATE

Funds verification now possible via the MoonBits Github:
https://github.com/LIMXTEC/MoonBits/blob/master/Monero/2019.md
In plain text: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/LIMXTEC/MoonBits/master/Monero/2019.md

Now, there are several ways to do the verfication:

A) The easiest one is to use the open-source tool here and enter all three parameters (public address of your card, view-key for that wallet and the transaction id that was used to fund it): http://xmrtests.llcoins.net/checktx.html
However the backend seems to be down quite often unfortunatelly, so the method not always works. You would need to retry a few hours or days later, if there is no result after clicking the CHECK box.

B) Using Moneros GUI wallet (https://github.com/monero-project/monero-gui/releases) you can create a view-only wallet via the command line.
Please refere to this tutorial: https://www.monero.how/how-to-verify-your-monero-funds-with-a-private-view-key


In order to claim your funds, you need the private spend key, that is located - in QR and in plain text - below the hologram.
Since the priv spend key is deterministic, *all* other keys can be generated from it.
A) Please follow these instructions to generate a wallet using GUI-client: https://monero.stackexchange.com/questions/4570/i-have-a-private-key-for-a-monero-address-which-application-lets-me-load-in-a-c
Or use this guide: https://monero.stackexchange.com/questions/8750/restoring-wallet-from-keys-file

B) You can also use this tool, to generate the seed and then simply import it to a wallet supporting a 256 bit XMR seed: https://xmr.llcoins.net/addresstests.html


Will add this info to OP soon.

Firendly BUMP.
A few cards still available! Funded with 0.25 XMR by Moonbits.

Bump. Your chance for a piece of Monero history: first funded XMR cards.

#10, 62 and 88 sold.

Lowest available is 64 (this is also the last one with the slightly different print compared to 65 - 128).

Quoted OP but with working image links instead.
Sorry, just wanted to edit OP to update broken imgur links but accidently quoted the original post instead. Anyway, here you have some working images.

If anyone has been able to redeem these let me know - gave one to my grandson who likes xmr but when we virw the address and keys into his mymonero wallet it says it has zero txns.

If you don't have the view key, you need to have the Transaction ID, Recipients address and the Transaction Key to verify. Otherwise it says that it doesn't exist. Did you peel the hologram and try to redeem it?

That's strange, can you elaborate what you did exactly?
Last message I got from you was something along the lines "nevermind, had viewkey and tx-id mixed up" so I thought it worked.
Funds are there, you can also verify it via github (https://github.com/LIMXTEC/MoonBits/blob/master/Monero/2019.md) and by creating a viewkey wallet first so you don't have to touch the private-spend key below the hologram.

I have all the private key, the address, the viewkey and the transaction id.  it loads up and says zero transactions. Yes, he peeled it.


he peeled it, used your link https://github.com/LIMXTEC/MoonBits/blob/master/Monero/2019.md and got the viewkey and transaction id.

loaded it into mymonero and it says zero transactions.

Okay, can you please give me the serial of the card (or the public address and the view key). Can be via DM or here, whichever you prefer.
I think I have an idea why you can't see it (has to do with your blockheight), but want to verify first.

Also, I'll be adding an easy (relatively easy that is, it's still Monero after all) tutorial on how to quickly check your XMR with the viewkey and the public address soon.

Okay, I'ma catch some sleep. Please send me said info so we can solve this, shouldn't be too hard.  @Mopar
Funds must be (and will be) there. Unless peeled and swiped and then it would still show in the transaction history.
Talk tomorrow then.

SN is 102 - wallet is fully sync'd

to load into the mymonero wallet he used the address as it is on your site, the view key from your site (which the qr code on the top of the hologram matches the view key for SN 102) and the private key from under the holo.

the qr code on the top of the hologram matches the view key for SN 102

- straight from your site.

when I view the txn on blockchair

https://i.ibb.co/N33Gf49/image.png (https://ibb.co/X44G6w7)

- it does look like .25xmr was transacted but not to this address? maybe I am looking at wrong?

I am not really a fan of xmr and that is why I gave my xmr stuff to him. He loves all those privacy coins - beam, piratecoin, xmr etc

using localmonero.co:

when I run the address and the view key I get:

https://i.ibb.co/V3x5mYP/image.png (https://ibb.co/FnXCV4j)

and with the address and the transaction id (yes it should be the view key but I wanted to try everything):

https://i.ibb.co/bHXpp00/image.png (https://ibb.co/ZHxyyjj)

Okay, I just synced a view wallet with your SN and pubkeys/address - the 0.25 XMR are cleary there.

I didn't see an option in mymonero to import via viewkey only - so I cannot try to replicate your experience there.

Your screenshot also shows that the funds are there (I also successfully replicated it with the decode outputs option here: https://blockchair.com/monero). Just note, there are two recipients ofc, similar to a Bitcoin transaction that contains change. The change is not displayed as Monero is a privacy coin keeping everything secret that's not meant to be seen. In this case the change money sum from the transaction (first recipient). Second recipient is you.
Also note, public keys are NOT the same as the public address! In case you were wondering about why the public key displayed doesn't seem to match your public address.

Again, not sure why mymonero won't show the amount after importing the private key, was there an option to select a "restore height" or "restore block"? If so, please choose a date from BEFORE the transction. Something like 2019-01-01 must work, or if you use block height 1500000 should be safe as a start.
Generally I'd recommend to use GUI wallet: https://www.getmonero.org/downloads/

If you want a quick fix, try monerujo wallet. I use it for android for some basic testing and tiny amounts, it works well and let's you import different types of wallets quite easily.

For Menorujo, I wanted to create a pictured step-by-step guide on how to import your private key, but it doesn't even allow me take a screenshot. That said, the process is pretty "intuitive". Here is how it's done:
- In the main menu page click the + Icon. -> Then select either Restore view-only wallet or Restore wallet from private keys.
- Now enter the required keys. Either public only or public and private if you want to spend your funds plus your public address. The private key is below your hologram, everything else if public domain and can be found here: https://github.com/LIMXTEC/MoonBits/blob/master/Monero/2019.md
Set a wallet name and a password. And make sure to use a restore date from before when the transaction was made (use 2019-01-01 to be on the safe side).
- Your wallet will now needs to synchronize. Don't open other apps or minimize monerujo in the progress. It's a flaw in the app, but to safe your sync progress you need to press the "back" button on your phone (while on the screen where it syncs and shows your current wallet status), only then it will be permanently stored in your phone. If you just close the wallet or switch to another app, the program will return to the main screen and your sync progress is lost.

Download: https://www.getmonero.org/downloads/

With GUI-wallet the process of re-importing your wallet will not differ too much from the above.

maybe it has something to do with the block height, his other wallet has txns showing from 2020 to present - so maybe it just isn't going back far enough. If so, then that is a simple answer and and has an easy fix.

Thank you - will let you know shortly if this works.

Yes, the wallet where I could specify a block "start" time back to 1/1/2019 worked. My guess is the other wallets were pruning the old txns.

Glad this is solved and you were able to access the 0.25 XMR.

On another note: Anyone familiar with an option to view multiple addresses (view only wallet style) in one go? It's very inconvenient if you have say 5+ XMR addresses to check each one of these individually. Would be cool to have an option to bundle these together.
Might make a post in the Monero thread if nothing comes up hear.

yes - he is happy about it too. he's still waiting for the wallet to finish sync'ing so he can xfer it out to his regular wallet.

multiaddress check - yes that would be nice - there is a bitcoin site I use where I can enter up to 50 addresses and have all of them checked at once.
