Title: Coin Armor - cold wallet in a form of metal credit card for long term storage Post by: Anna Landik on January 05, 2018, 10:19:12 AM Hi there. New to this forum, but ain't a newbie in crypto world.
I'm trying to popularize the idea of investment in cryptocurrency among small households. And immediately after newcomer buy his first digital coin he needs to decide- where to store it? We propose to store it on a cold wallet that can be made by me in a form of steel card: https://i.imgur.com/SXgEUb0.jpg If you like the idea - please check the description of our project on Kickstarter.com: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/437309334/coin-armor-steel-cryptocurrency-wallet (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/437309334/coin-armor-steel-cryptocurrency-wallet) and support us ;D Any questions? Feel free to ask here or on Kickstarter.

More interested in the fact that it is engraved in metal or that I am the fact that is the size and shape of the credit card. If I were wanting to Store larger amounts: I wouldnt need to carry around in my wallet. But I do like it is protected in case of fires, flooding stuff like that. Good luck with the idea hope you guys reach your goal.

Anyway, it should be compact from my point of view. And credit card has enough space to store QR code and key in a text form. If you do like the idea please spread a word about it. Post in social networks etc. That project is not about profit (15$ for cutting, polishing, engraving, shipping and my time ;) ) it's about attracting newcomers into a cryptoworld, that are afraid of hackers, fraud, stock exchanges etc. Just a cheap, simple and reliable way to store coins for a long term.

Donīt get me wrong, but to store both information, Address and keys, is very unsecure. How do you make it safe?

I don't know it and so I don't know your real key. Where to store pass-phrase? That's your decision.

You're just basically engraving letters and numbers on a metal sheet. The rest is just fancy words. I can do that in the nearby home depot for 5 euros.

Yeah I would agree in this. The project is good and I would like to carry a fancy card with me, but that's just it. It's just a fancy card with my private keys. If I'm never going to use to I would rather store them at a safe place than my pocket. You're just basically engraving letters and numbers on a metal sheet. The rest is just fancy words.
