Be safe and use escrow to hold funds until the products arrive at your door.  Stay safe out there everyone.

Looking great, is that a loaded 5 BTC Casascius or is it a blank?


Don't hype your own thread please. Doesn't look good

You must be mistaken, I'm not the OP. I'm a long-time lurker who decided to finally create an account and start posting. Thanks for the warm welcome.

Welcome.  Happy to help you hunt down things you may be looking for......

This answer will be to the point!!  Yes, your concerns were that it could be faked..... if the security measures pointed out in this thread/on the website are not good enough for you..... don't buy it.  I'm not sure what else you want to hear??   Bobby has answered numerous questions about security of these over and over and on just about every platform.  So like I said, if those answers don't work for you..... simply don't buy it, but asking the same question again and again and maybe in a slightly different way this time is asinine.

It seems like you are emotionally invested and blindly defending this product.  The links and your previous comment have nothing to do with the issues I brought up.  You have not answered my question so I guess I'll put it here again...What physical security features (on the exterior of the un-opened block) are present in this product that would make it impossible to copy?

As I stated previously, I have no issue with the key generation. I will list my concerns below so it's not difficult to understand:

1 ) The design is simple. There is no unique texturing or elements that would be difficult to copy on the titanium block or card.
2 ) Fonts (typeface) used in the design are all free fonts accessible to anyone with the internet (Avenir, Helvetica, Times New Roman, ect..)
3 ) The logo used in the design is available on the internet
4 ) There is no holographic "sticker"
5 ) The scratch off and sticker covering the private key are 2D and would be possible to mimic
6 ) The exact dimensions of the block are posted online
7 ) The layout (front view) is available on this thread
8 ) The block # & reward stickers could potentially fall off over time (not a security concern)

My physical security concerns also apply to the Ballet cards.  I'm concerned and giving feedback so these security issues could potentially be addressed.  A product intended to hold a significant amount of BTC should be scrutinized in my opinion.

1 ) The design is simple. There is no unique texturing or elements that would be difficult to copy on the titanium block or card.  Not changing
2 ) Fonts (typeface) used in the design are all free fonts accessible to anyone with the internet (Avenir, Helvetica, Times New Roman, ect..)  Not changing
3 ) The logo used in the design is available on the internet  Not changing
4 ) There is no holographic "sticker"  There is a tamper resistant 2 layer sticker
5 ) The scratch off and sticker covering the private key are 2D and would be possible to mimic  with enough money
6 ) The exact dimensions of the block are posted online  Not changing
7 ) The layout (front view) is available on this thread  Not changing
8 ) The block # & reward stickers could potentially fall off over time (not a security concern)



IT'S NOT IMPOSSIBLE TO COPY!!!!!!!!!  With enough money ANYTHING can be copied technically.

I'm not blindly defending anything.... I'm just making a point as you ask the same question over and over expecting a new magical answer.

The answers are the same.  The links tell you how it's made and the security used.  If you don't think it's secure enough and can be copied.... DON'T BUY ONE!!!

As far as the "real" series Ballet wallets.... they are designed for small amounts of bitcoin... an easy on and off ramp for newbies.  I have used several of these to give people anywhere from $25.00 - $100.00 in bitcoin as gifts.

The "pro" series Ballet wallets are for larger amounts of bitcoin IMO, but you may still not like that C_C.

For you, I'm guessing nothing is secure enough.  I recommend you get some dice..... 64 rolls and make your own private keys and make your own cold storage devices.  Good luck to you.


**for those purchasing a block**  I would ask Bobby to take a few minutes of his personal time to send you a signed PGP message for block provenance for later on down the road.  This may alleviate some secondary market concerns.

Recommended items in the message:
-Bobby Lee/Ballet Crypto direct transfer/sale to "your real name" aka "forum name"
-Block number
-Public address
-Date of the purchase
-Date the block was funded

Posting with your alt account... Wtf.

Not to derail this thread but you are a complete moron whoever you are!  A simple look into the posts I've started on this forum would prove otherwise.  I'm certain the former CEO of the BTCC Mint/Exchange and now current CEO of Ballet has time to be brokering and selling items that are worth $5-$500 as most of the items I sell are.  There are plenty of respected members on this forum that have seen both Bobby and me.  Please do some homework before you make comments that just make you look stupid.  

.....and while I'm at it, if you don't like the product, don't buy it.  It's that simple.  The way I see it, Bobby gave people a way to own a freshly mined bitcoin block.  Like it or not, it's currently your only option.  Yes, it's different from the BTCC ones.  BTCC was not a US company, hence they were able to do things a bit different.  There are a lot more restrictions as a US based company.  He found a way to make it work, have you??  ....or any of you criticizing for that matter.... what have you brought to the bitcoin collectibles community?? Please make something better..... with superior security.  Innovation is great.... let's see what you come up with.  

Not sure what's going on now....  I was attempting to start a discussion on "stickers" and lack of physical security measures on this product in my opinion.  Making my own bitcoin blocks doesn't address my security concerns with this product. Your answer is very subjective and doesn't address anything I brought up.

This answer will be to the point!!  Yes, your concerns were that it could be faked..... if the security measures pointed out in this thread/on the website are not good enough for you..... don't buy it.  I'm not sure what else you want to hear??   Bobby has answered numerous questions about security of these over and over and on just about every platform.  So like I said, if those answers don't work for you..... simply don't buy it, but asking the same question again and again and maybe in a slightly different way this time is asinine.

you're complaining about stickers?

most physical bitcoins today use stickers to cover up the private keys. So you don't complain about that?

All of my BTCC Mint blocks from 2015 and 2015, both the 25+ BTC and the 12.5+ BTC, they ALL had stickers on them.
What's the issue with stickers on physical bitcoins?

Like I said, the shiny lettering "stickers" look GREAT in person.


Tamper-evident security holograms are much different than cheap stick-on numbers. These are not comparable when calling both "stickers"

What security features are present in this product that would make it nearly impossible to copy? How could someone purchasing this block not directly from you ensure the authenticity of the product?

This product is missing a very important "sticker" and IMO would be easy for someone to create a fake.  This is a serious issue when holding a large sum BTC.  I have no doubt the key generation is safe.

Please expand on why it "would be easy for someone to create a fake."

The private key is under a tamper resistant multi layer "sticker" - The BIP38 passphrase is under a scratch off - It's a large block of titanium with a fairly intricate die to stamp these.

Holy shit when was the last time you got laid? I was only suggesting he wait to ship all 3 months at once......"my bits safe"  wtf are you talking about....this isnt the plague, you should turn of the media switch in your head........and fuck off mate

Lol.  That got personal real quick.... you obviously don't know me.  I don't do "media" of any kind, thank you very little.  My sex life is really none of your business but it's been recent enough to not affect my comments.... I do appreciate the concern though.  Kiss

I may have taken your comment the wrong way and would have had no problem rolling my comment back, but when you act like a child, immediately get personal, and spout off like that..... all I can say is eat a d**k youngster.  GFY and most certainly GOML!

dont want to speak for everyone but me personally think you should wait until all 3 months of last subscribtion are fundd and ship all 3 then give some sort of discount for julys subscribtion to make up for shipping.
I dont mind one bit waiting and have faith you are trustworthy

A global pandemic caused shipping issues, not Yogg. What's to "make up for"? It's not his fault, IMO. Cheesy
You are a jackass to ask for a discount when this is not the fault of the maker and they are doing everything they can to keep your bits safe in the midst of this pandemic.  Congratulations on making either your greed or stupidity shine here. (Face Palm)

If I add one Coldkey to my cart the shipping is a flat rate 10 Euro. If I add another Coldkey to my cart, the shipping stays at the flat rate of 10 Euros. I'd like to believe the guy is saying that if shipping doesn't magically fix itself by June (it probably won't) that being able to bundle your purchases into one package (remember flat rate 10 Euro) would be better off than paying 30 Euro worth of shipping to all be shipped in one package when post offices return back to normal.
I'm sure yogg already has a plan for this but you guys making this dude seem horrible for not wanting to pay 30 Euro to ship his cards when it could only cost him 10 is ridiculous.

Able to prove you ordered April/May/June History Coldkey's? Maybe the June one is 20 Euro off to offset the additional shipping charges you paid. Stop jumping to conclusions that this guy is a cheap fuck looking for a handout. No one should benefit from this pandemic but no one should overpay either.


They were clearly asking for a discount on the next quarter's subscription..... they said NOTHING about individual shipping charges.  You're reaching here for sure!! (bold comment above)
