I find removing the wifi board placed my mind at ease
agreed. it cant accidentally get turned on if it isnt there in the first place.

bump - lots of slots open, if we get at least 30, all are winners at that point.

for any of the projects I have worked on, from doing DIY coins for people, to the Mojo coins I assisted with, the pepeflyer coins, my pokerchip sets, the amount of coins I have keyed approaches 1700-2000
The process I use is very simple.
I use an airgapped computer that has bitcoin core and the samr7 vanitygen program installed. This system is never online. It is updated with disposable usb drives that are used to install updates and move files to the airgapped system. The usb sticks never go from the airgapped system to an online system and are disposed of after one use. This is done via my fire pit. Periodically, I also replace the harddrive in the airgapped system disposing of the old one via the same burn pit.
I use an old printer that has no wifi or bluetooth capabilities - it is a laser printer and I print on Revlar paper.
I have used text for private keys, qr codes and many times used both text and qr code.
I do not save any files to the airgapped system. Keys are printed and locked in a safe in my office. If the keys are ever out and I leave the room or they leave my sight, they are disposed of and new keys are made.
If anyone ever has an issue with my coins - it will not be because someone is sweeping them. It will be a human error on my part.
Examples:
putting the wrong key on a coin (I have done this once that I know of - customer contacted me, I reimbursed them for the load) I once put the QR codes backwards - with the private key facing out and the address facing in, when identified, generated new key and address and re-did the coin.
No one is free from making a mistake and there is a huge difference between making a mistake and being malicious when it comes to keys.
Keys should never be saved or stored where someone else can get them.

I also created a thread on how I generate my keys as well. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5416519.0 For those people who do not trust software download off of the internet or do not own a mycelium entropy...there is another way that I suggest. Simply....buy a Trezor...generate a new seed and place the 12 word seed instead of a private key. You can use it this method as many times as you wish simply by resetting the Trezor. And yes of course you have to trust Trezor as well. If not then use a hardware wallet of your choice. Coldard is also another one I would trust especially the latest Q wallet which is all done air gapped! Or simply roll the dice. Lol I believe you had one already - maybe several - as you have walked thru your process very clearly and meticulously several times. as a note - many have peeled all their RC coins. When a coin maker has been compromised, one must assume all works are compromised.
we really need to hear about your key generation process and how it was different for the affected coins vs the ones you claim are safe.
and then a very detailed post on how exactly you generated keys for each project.
yes. We will provide details. But Mopar this thread is for helping those who are impacted. As this is a widespread issue(not only for VIBGYOR coins). This is an issue beyond our collectibles. Please let’s use the other thread for root causing and keep this for helping those impacted. and by widespread you mean what? if there is some larger issue, you need to state it now vs later - the sooner the better.

All the horrible lies you say about me and you want to support my raffle? Wouldn't it make you feel like a hypocrite bitch?
First off, I have said no lies about you. I have actually gone thru the data you provided (concerning the seats) and verified it was accurate and matched the figures you stated. What I have said, is what pretty much everyone on the forum has said about your mining operation and your "seats" and about how you mismanaged/misused the forum funds. Apparently, you are still stuck on the fact that you believe everything you have done to be right and that you are the benevolent giver to all. BTW - I do not really want a slot - this was just to see if you still had me blocked ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) good luck to all who are still on the largest grifter and ponzi scheme operators good side.

Looks like the issue is with the way private keys were generated.
you use an airgapped system correct? if you are using a system that is online, then all your coins are at risk and you need to cease selling any coins and recall all of them - I hope it is not this serious and I am not sure if it was, that you would say so. Considering your statements on how your keys are generated when previously asked: Following all the suggestions, we are buying a one time only Printer for printing keys (wired) and one time use-only computer for creating keys.
Thanks Team RC
so if it is a one use system, was it online? did you lose control of it?

WE ARE STILL ROOT CAUSING THE ISSue. So far we are certain thi isn’t hardware leak.
Regards Team RC
if it is not a hardware leak - then it someone on your team, or no? how many are on your team? how many have access to key generation? and how do you have private keys stored after the coins were made?? No keys should ever be saved.

I will take #7 - I do like the idea behind this raffle. Let's see if you still have me on block

I want to know how the keys were generated and thus how they were compromised.
RC stated these coins keys were generated differently than the others - how so?
If you used an airgapped system, and did not save the keys, and you still have possession of that system, then how were they breached?
even without saving there are potential ways someone could have recovered them from the system but that would mean you lost control of it.
I am glad to see you making people whole but that does not make them whole - their coin will never be what it was worth.
All good points. I would hope RC would let us send the coins to someone like you to be re-holo’d & re-key’d as buyer funded. always willing to assist.

Ok so only the VIBGYOR series were impacted.
Please don't worry. Everyone impacted will be contacted and refunded. We will even regenerate the keys and load them if needed (with a new sticker). We will pay for shipping both ways.
Please message us if you were impacted.
How were the keys generated? You said they were done differently - how so?

this is why you use an offline airgapped key generation process. What I can say and speak on is that I wish he kept a copy of his keys cuz I can’t decipher SHIT from his fucking lost coin series. Holy fuck!! Use some better ink, larger letters… anything cuz this btc is probably lost. Even using a 10x magnifying glass.
Total horseshit
I was able to help rsincognito and deciphered both pks that he sent me - willing to help anyone who needs it at zero cost. you can tip if you want but my motivation is to get the bitcoin to the buyers not back to the maker.

good luck reading the shit ass font/print job. =( just because they havent been swiped doesn't mean your going to be able to read them to be able to swipe them yourself sad to say. (i hope you can read them bud)
Holy crap, you are not kidding.. I am on my 7th attempt and still no luck. you figure it out yet? i had to ask Mopar to help me and he was able to recover 2 coins funds after i could not read the keys, if you cant figure it out and your at your wits end, maybe reach out to him. (and its always nice to leave him a tip if he pull off recovering your funds, even if he says he doesn't want one lol imo) He is here for the community thank you Mopar ! always happy to help - I am always here to help the community. do you mind if I share the images of your terrible keys? NVM I see you posted them. you shared the nice one too - the other one was a bit more blurry? not sure if that is the right word - but the letters were bleeding into one another.

there are 2 that just moved - that was me, helping someone redeem their very poorly very hard to read keys.
will update with coin numbers in a moment.
first was: Gilded 82
second was: lost coin series - v1 - I dont know the coin number yet.

speaking about Stacks - someone might want to tell them so they can pull those auctions. Looks like all are unfunded except one of the hole coins @ .001 even unfunded ones pose a risk in the future if the buyer loads them and they get swept at a later time. the fact that a single coin was swept is evidence that keys were saved and that all keys are potentially at risk.

man, watching this debacle again makes me really happy to have bought mine "buyer funded" and just never fund them. i like the art, not the risk of putting bitcoin on it.
same - I have had 5 RC coins - 4 bought and 1 given by RC (ironically) as a gift for those who were affected by Yogg's scammy bs.

#98 and 84 gilded were just recently redeemed.
is that RC pulling more funding off coins? or did someone here redeem theirs?
No it was me bud, i own those . good to know it was not RC
