I would like them better if they worked without the card reader - but I do hear that is supposed to be solved soon? if not already?

Oh I got all the ones I ordered as well - the packages were crushed but I removed them from them anyways and put them in airtites - but my question is more about the statement about replacing the polkadot ones with the updated and valid ones as the ones sent have invalid addresses.

No need - i checked its balance by scanning the address on it so was aware prior to my bid

I am interested

They are very similar and open like those rebate checks that come in the mail.

Question on lot 1 - is that how it was originally? I have never seen a paersafe that wasnt a full page

Got an answer

Lot 1 .0001 BTC

Lot 2 .0025 BTC

any new updates? the replacement polkadot chips?

mine is still in the box I wouldnt break up that set just to put it in a frame with the others.

my stickers are loosely framed (they are not peeled/stuck but have a small pieced of double sided tape on the back of each to hold them in place) I dont have them sorted or named in any fashion though - some are by some well known Bitcoin artists and others are just generic stickers handed out from conferences or that I received with various shipments. In with some of the stickers are also Pins (most from btcpins) and doodles done by Bitcoin Penny. At the end there are comic strips I kept from a 2021 Dilbert calendar where all the comics were about "Bitcoin"

Some of them are even from companies I detest (Binance for example) - I have them simply to collect/preserve

The final image is my biggest "sticker" its 2 foot by 2 foot and is more like a sign but it is quite sticky on the back so I am going to call it my largest sticker.

I apologize for the pics quality/angles/lighting these are all up on my office walls

Reserved.

I wont disagree on that aspect of the allure. But really, the tradability is the same - you still have to trust that the person holding it (not the manufacturer) did not tamper with/compromise/replace the private key - while not super easy, it is also not impossible to remove a holo, scan the private key and replace the holo without someone able to tell - can the average person do it? probably not. But it has been done.

Basically, unless you buy from the manufacturer you have no way to know it is still intact and untampered with - you go from trusting the manufacturer to trusting every single person who laid fingers on it.

To each their own - I guess maybe a compromise would be to offer it both ways - the manufacturer loses nothing to sell it as a DIY.


edit:


I whole heartedly agree with the above.

Every key I have generated for anyone - I have said the above to - almost verbatim. 

my concern would be the keys - they generate them and save them to files and convert to print files then send to printer and then delete - that means there are at one time possibly 2 files containing the keys and they are deleted. I wonder if either the machine that generates the keys or the one that prints them is ever online.

never saw where the moonpass holders could buy one - missed it though I would have probably passed unless it could be unloaded.

I would prefer all makers to offer DIY versions -after all, bitcoin is about "dont trust, verify" so everyone should really make their own keys and not trust the maker of any keys. That being said, we all have at one point or another done so and/or still do so.

Me personally would prefer all to be DIY

thank you for the raffle and congrats to the 4 winners!

this process is not like typical 3d printing as seen on yours krogoth - it does a layering system where it lays down a layer of "powder" or "filament" like dust and then uses lasers to precisely target and melt the filament together. once completed you then have to sweep away all the left over filament from the item.

My guess is that somewhere during the process they pause it and add the key and then continue the print - thus truly enclosing the key and requiring it to be broken to expose the key.

saw these thru some where else - interesting. very expensive printers used for this as well. I would not buy their loaded ones though. just the unloaded.

I would like to purchase 2 of these - but cannot pm you as you have my pm's blocked and may even have me on ignore. 

The way he is suggesting is fine with me - it is his raffle after all. As long as it is fair and unbiased and you cant get much more unbiased then using a block to determine winners.
