1  Economy / Collectibles / Bitcoin & Other Crypto Cold Storage Bank Notes on: April 29, 2022, 06:38:12 PM
The last couple of years I've been working on original designs for some Bitcoin Cold Storage wallets in the style of a bank note. I've been collecting Cold Storage wallets like physical bitcoins and banknotes for years. Of course any Bank notes I personally purchase and collect or 100% legitimate considering there's a lot or rather a ton of so-called collector's items for cryptocurrency but they're not legit they're not actual Cold Storage Bank Notes for or Coins which is where they stole alot of original designs from in the first place.

Anyway I'm at the point right now where I would like to have a few prototypes printed. I'm exploring a few different options I can go as far as printing and authentication. But I don't just want to print them on regular paper. what I would like to do is print them on high quality cotton linen mix that are rated for currency. I know that's not just something you can print and have that type of paper in your basement. But I really want to have a good product of good Quality that people will want. Definitely not planning on mass producing anything. There will be a limited number of each addition of crypto banknotes.

I want to have all the great security features that I can have on these banknotes and I know that it's possible because I personally own professionally made Bank notes that are Bitcoin Cold Storage and they have multiple security features not only protecting the private key but also forgery and copying countermeasures. I would also have features to protect branding and authenticity.
The private keys would have to be on a dedicated system completely cut off from the internet and everything would have to be destroyed after the keys and address is transferred to each banknote. As for the issue with trust as far as keys and wallet addresses I would personally provide some type of proof that all keys and addresses were destroyed after their creation. I would also have a couple of documents made, backed by a lawyer or a notary. For example one of the companies who makes one particular Bitcoin banknote has legal documentation to a company every banknote stating who made the keys on what date time how they were created and that they were destroyed both in a responsible and safe manner.

I know that there's a lot of people out there who feel that a Cold Storage Bank notice really useless and pointless and has no real type of use case but it is a cold storage document that's what it will be used for.  Plus as I said earlier I will only be creating a limited number of each addition I would issue, according to that cryptocurrency and year.
Also it really is just a niche item for other people such as myself who are really into different types of physical Cold Storage, and not something that would be connected to a computer or digital in the sense, like hardware wallets.

Hope to hear from you guys!

I would love and appreciate any suggestions advice even criticism as to what you think I should do or shouldn't do. I'm always open for advice
and knowledge from other people who are more educated than myself. Is there anybody that would suggest where I might be able to purchase materials I would need for the short-term in order to produce a few prototypes? I've looked into currency type paper (near impossible to actually find) like 75%cotton 25%linen mix, Polymer (not sure if that's something that can be created locally), and waterproof+tear proof Teslin Laser Jet paper. I'm leaning heavy towards Teslin for the prototype. I think the most expensive part of creating these will be the security features in any special inks I would use.
2  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / I Start Mining This Week, Any Advice Is Appreciated on: August 19, 2018, 02:06:02 PM
Hi everyone. This is my very first post here, and I'm glad to have found Bitcointalk.
I start mining this week for my first time. Not a big glamorous setup or anything. I have a gaming PC arriving this Tuesday that will have. GTX 1050 pre installed. I know it's not the best but it's a start. My question is can I buy an additional GPU and run both in the PC? I was thinking of buying a 1060 or 1070. 1080 would be great but I just don't have the cash yet. Any and all advice and constructive criticism is welcome. This is my first real attempt at mining so I'm willing to learn.
Thanks.
