Title: [ANN] VaultBar - Hybrid BTC & ETH storage bar! Post by: AT101ET on May 30, 2018, 12:41:47 AM Helllllooooo all! I can't believe it! The day has finally arrived! It's been a long time coming, but I am both humbled and delighted to introduce the VaultBar. This started off as a hobby that soon turned into an actual project which has come to fruition with thanks to a number of members on and off of this forum. Without their help, input and support, I'd have long given up on this project given the multiple failures and setbacks endured throughout. But, that's not important. Because. Today. It. Is. Ready. And I'm absolutely thrilled!;D So enough blabber, Here are the deets you want: Specifications: Bar dimensions: 5.7 x 10 x 0.8 (cm) Bar weight: 270g Material: 24k gold plated alloy Artwork (Reverse and Obverse): Both sides are similar with subtle changes. The bar features a detailed border around the edges and corners directing the focus of attention to the centre of the image. They are the curtains that set the stage, inviting you to one of the greatest match-ups you have/will ever see. On one side you have the mighty BTC landing a knockout blow to the inferior USD whilst the ETH takes on the EUR in a similar duel. The crowd can be seen beneath the stage cheering the fighters on whilst the match lineup and stats are shown for each fighter. The bottom of the bar reads: PLACE YOUR BETS - inviting you to join in on the fun, sit back and watch as history is written. Hologram: The hologram features an outer border with a number of gears and mechanisms representing security. Around the window that displays the key is a border that represents the digital nature and expanding network of digital currencies. When light catches the hologram from the right angle, you will also be able to make out the words VaultBar with some stacked bars on each side of it. Details: Price: Packaging: Foam bag in padded envelope Holograms: 6 (per bar) Mintage: Less than 150 (exact number TBC) Payment: BTC, ETH, LTC, XMR and VIA Please PM for orders. Shipping: Shipping is from the UK. Shipping costs depend on quantity and location. For US orders, shipping will be handled by MJ (minerjones) who will calculate individual shipping costs. This will be much more cost-effective (cheaper) for those living across the pond. - After an order is placed, I will ship the bars to MJ who will arrange domestic delivery. For UK and EU delivery details, please PM for a quote. Escrow accepted at buyer's cost. Pics: https://i.imgur.com/qfzn2OG.jpg https://imgur.com/a/sjgTab6 Please note that due to the nature of the bar (design) and the extent of the manufacturing process involved; no 2 bars are identical. All have some differences in finish/plating. I have looked at each bar individually and removed those that aren't of a high enough standard given the manufacturing process involved. Small bumps/creases are to be expected and add character. This bar is both a piece of art and a showpiece. Whilst some of you may not like to get it grubby/smudged with fingerprints, others would be happy to have this lying on their desk as a conversational piece. In either case, I want you to make it your bar, to enjoy it, and to let it tell its own (and your) story. Title: Re: [ANN] VaultBar - Hybrid BTC & ETH storage bar! Post by: Hhampuz on May 30, 2018, 12:50:41 AM Congratulations on an awesome release AT! This really looks incredible and I can see that you've spent a lot of time working it all out. Super happy for you and I'm glad to see more people entering the creating space here.

Title: Re: [ANN] VaultBar - Hybrid BTC & ETH storage bar! Post by: wttbs on May 30, 2018, 08:54:16 AM Wow awesome bar ! like the design, job well done. send you a pm
Title: Re: [ANN] VaultBar - Hybrid BTC & ETH storage bar! Post by: AT101ET on May 30, 2018, 11:19:09 AM Thanks all. Big shoutout to BTS (bigtimespaghetti) for his invaluable input :)
Title: Re: [ANN] VaultBar - Hybrid BTC & ETH storage bar! Post by: Flying Hellfish on May 30, 2018, 12:19:29 PM Pm sent. Really, really cool looking bar, I love the artwork! I hope I can get one!
I know that you can't mention every country for shipping but can us Canadians "ride the coat tails of our American cousins" (like we usually do LOL) for shipping? Title: Re: [ANN] VaultBar - Hybrid BTC & ETH storage bar! Post by: ThatRandomDude on May 31, 2018, 12:48:10 AM Awesome, they look great! I assume you don't number them (on the bars), right?
Title: Re: [ANN] VaultBar - Hybrid BTC & ETH storage bar! Post by: frankenmint on May 31, 2018, 12:52:42 AM shut up....and take my money pls
Title: Re: [ANN] VaultBar - Hybrid BTC & ETH storage bar! Post by: Lauda on May 31, 2018, 05:58:15 AM Looking good without a several-dozen-fold margin on production cost. It would be nice to have a silver (non gold plated) option too.
-snip- Snowman, absolutely buy some for us.Title: Re: [ANN] VaultBar - Hybrid BTC & ETH storage bar! Post by: AT101ET on May 31, 2018, 09:54:42 AM Awesome, they look great! I assume you don't number them (on the bars), right? I did not. I experimented with numbering with the sampling but I felt that it looked tacky so opted against it. Having been said, there were 150 made but a number of them are being held back due to their quality. I’m yet to decide what to do with them but I am considering hammering them into pancakes :D Title: Re: [ANN] VaultBar - Hybrid BTC & ETH storage bar!

However, even if it were to happen, it won't happen before a) these sell out or b) enough people commit to a small run for them as each runs is costly. Awesome, they look great!

I have some power tools here which may be a more reasonable resort. Either way, I'll document the destruction and post it on here :) I'm contemplating ordering some chemicals and sprays to have fun with different rustic finishes (patina and the like). Title: Re: [ANN] VaultBar - Hybrid BTC & ETH storage bar! Post by: AT101ET on May 31, 2018, 09:53:15 PM Packaging the US orders now for shipment tomorrow.. If anyone else from the states wants to jump in then PM me :)
Title: Re: [ANN] VaultBar - Hybrid BTC & ETH storage bar! Post by: F1x7crypto on June 01, 2018, 12:37:57 PM Can't wait for the bar.
Ps I've got a press you can use :p Title: Re: [ANN] VaultBar - Hybrid BTC & ETH storage bar! Post by: F1x7crypto on June 01, 2018, 06:09:12 PM Thanks for everything. Sorry, I can't reply to your PM cause I'm limited to 2 a day... I have access to a hydraulic press was what I was referring too. Again thank you.
Title: Re: [ANN] VaultBar - Hybrid BTC & ETH storage bar! Post by: AT101ET on June 03, 2018, 12:42:25 AM All orders were shipped on Friday and relevant tracking has been PMed. US shipment went out too :)

Post by: AT101ET on June 04, 2018, 09:44:03 PM Here’s a quick assembly video. Might be worthwhile to reshoot one in the future but this should do in the meantime. https://youtu.be/Bdx9nVDK4r4
Still have plenty of bars available for sale. Title: Re: [ANN] VaultBar - Hybrid BTC & ETH storage bar! Post by: tweetious on June 05, 2018, 07:04:53 AM Here’s a quick assembly video.

No worries. I could try and upload a template a little later. In the meantime, here are the dimensions used: (In PowePoint) I created 6 adjacent squares (all 1.5cm x 1.5cm). The QR codes codes were 1.4cm x 1.4cm (evenly spaced in the squares) and the text (keys) depend on the font. - I'd recommend using a mono font for clarity though. The pub key can fit at a font size of 6 and the private keys in 5 (you can adjust this based on the font). Title: Re: [ANN] VaultBar - Hybrid BTC & ETH storage bar!

Zepher Hey, bars aren’t numbered I’m afraid. I did experiment with numbering but it didn’t come as well as intended so I decided against it for the mass run.

Title: Re: [ANN] VaultBar - Hybrid BTC & ETH storage bar! Post by: Isildur (official) on October 22, 2018, 05:04:57 AM I'll take a bar.
Title: Re: [ANN] VaultBar - Hybrid BTC & ETH storage bar! Post by: BitcoinNewsMagazine on October 22, 2018, 05:49:14 PM Congrats on the project and here's hoping you sell out. I agree with @Lauda that I would very much like to see the VaultBar in .999 silver hopefully in the future.

I agree with @Lauda that I would very much like to see the VaultBar in .999 silver hopefully in the future. Thanks! I still have quite a few bars left but I’m hoping to sell our eventually. A silver bar would be cool but would only be feasible if there was enough demand for it. Title: Re: [ANN] VaultBar - Hybrid BTC & ETH storage bar! Post by: nathansenn on October 30, 2018, 08:47:11 PM I would like a bar also

I agree with @Lauda that I would very much like to see the VaultBar in .999 silver hopefully in the future. I've received a quote for the silver bars. It's quite costly and there's a minimum order so doubt it'll go ahead unless there is enough interest :-\ Title: Re: [ANN] VaultBar - Hybrid BTC & ETH storage bar!

I’ve never worked with silver before as doing so is quite complex in the U.K. What is the typical premium on custom silver minting? These would be made abroad and hallmarked in the UK. The total silver used would be closer to 15oz. Title: Re: [ANN] VaultBar - Hybrid BTC & ETH storage bar! Post by: frankenmint on November 11, 2018, 10:02:03 AM Surprised that no one got around to making a client side QR generator.... the square is just over a half inch and fits snugly when cut close (and scans successfully on my current smartphone).
https://honeybadgerofmoney.com/qr.html Just save the page itself locally, run the client side code with the internet disconnected, print cut save then delete the print job from memory... delete the client side code and delete your browser history for good measure too....
