2  Bitcoin / Project Development / A Self-Custodial Way to Gift Bitcoin, Physical Envelopes, Real BTC on: October 11, 2025, 08:45:33 PM
I have an unusual ₿ product that is hard to explain:
half e-commerce and half digital.
So I did my best to explain it under 23s.
Fully self-custodial Bitcoin gifting in 4 steps 🧧
PS:
It takes around 10-15 days to receive the envelopes (so get a small stock)
Customize, print and cutting out (< 5min)
Does it make it clear with these videos?

Hey there,

I'm Stephane and I am building the app behind the scene Smiley

Just shipped :
- Fixed LN payments sorry for the delay it took me some days to understand properly how inbound liquidity, channels etc works
- Displayed all quotes on the homepage
- new tagline : Teach Bitcoin with an enveloppe > Satoshis for everyone

I couldn't get business going doing free split key vanity wallets, I don't see how this would take off without posting the source code.
It might though, I mean your wallets wont get loaded but your envelopes will likely get purchased since they look cool. Focus on the envelopes my 2 sats fwiw.
Hello the code is open source  Cheesy you can check out
I would love to hear your 2 sats about it

Deciding on the right hongbao for my sister’s birthday gift
She’s a huge anime fan, so I’m loading up 2 of her husbandos (Edgy + Gojo).
What do you think fits better for the occasion Red or Orange envelopes?

We wanted to make our launch special.
So we printed a Bitcoin paper wallet with $21 inside and slipped it into one of the early orders.

It looks like a collectible note, but the keys are real, scan it, spend it, or keep it forever.

https://hongbaob.tc/
Curious: would you hold it as a keepsake or redeem the sats right away?

I do not do the shipping, so i'll ask the guy responsible for this and be back with an answer ASAP



We started shipping last week for the first customers
I hope they'll be happy with their envelopes

[mod note: merged consecutive posts]

Building is something, getting buyers in another
But i still believe in the idea and still doing
What do you do when you hit a low point? Huh
11  Bitcoin / Project Development / Custom Bitcoin Note Design for Lunar New Year on: August 27, 2025, 12:00:59 PM
I’ve been experimenting with Bitcoin-themed designs and created my own note for the upcoming Lunar New Year.
Would love to hear your feedback from the community.
How does it look to you?

The Price Comparison

Price€29 for 6 envelopes€2 for 6From €10 + fees

At first glance, €29 for 6 envelopes might look expensive compared to €2 generics. But Hong₿ao offers true Bitcoin ownership and education, not just decoration, and not an exchange IOU.

I just came here from your other thread, and the Price triggered me slightly. I understand you provide a better product than Binance and the one available on Aliexpress. However, you should keep the price more reasonable than the other options. Your product is still new, and you should consider that. Let people try your product first and then come back to you.

People usually want the cheaper options. But since you provide a better product, you can charge more. Also, remember that your product is new, and you have yet to earn trust and a reputation. The internet business depends on reputation. You can increase the price later once you become popular and more trustworthy. You shouldn't look for profit at the beginning; focus on competition and getting clients first. Just my two sats!

Totally, we'll consider your two sats thanks  Grin

I have this project https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5549677, it's open source
https://github.com/sbounmy/hongbao_bitcoin
I want to get it verified by the community
Who should i contact for that?

I just checked your project, and it looks cool. At first, I thought it was free, but I can see that you charge €29 for 6 envelopes. I don't have any complaints about it. As other members have already said, there are no verification badges for a project owner. If you can provide good service and a DT member is satisfied with your service, they may leave you positive feedback, which should be enough to prove that your business is legit and not a scam. Probably you could do some kind of giveaway and ask for a review on your project announcement thread. Remember, never ask for positive feedback. Just ask people to share their honest opinion, and I believe you will get positive feedback eventually if you provide good service.

Good luck!

Thank you for the advice i will do that ^^

When scanning the QR code on the envelope, the user would be redirected to a learning page What would be better?
  • 1. A video explaining all
  • 2. What we have now?

Our Hong₿ao envelopes are finally here and shipping begins now!
To celebrate, we’ve added a little surprise: one of the first 50 orders will receive a Bitcoin note pre-loaded with $21.

Check it out here: https://hongbaob.tc/

18  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: [Feedback] Gift Bitcoin in Red envelope on: August 23, 2025, 11:36:52 AM
Hong₿ao now has a Featured Notes section, a showcase of unique Bitcoin paper wallet designs made by the community.

We already have some great ones live (like the “Satoshi Euro” and “Pizza Day ₿ill”), but what we’re really looking for is more designers to contribute original Bitcoin notes.

If you’re into art, design, or Bitcoin culture, this is your chance to create something that will be gifted, collected, and remembered.
Check it out here: https://hongbaob.tc/dashboard

19  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Art - How Do You Even Do It? on: August 23, 2025, 08:01:52 AM
What do you think makes art “Bitcoin art”?

I think the artist has to understand how Bitcoin works, at least at a superficial level, to create an interesting piece of Bitcoin art.

One great example of this is Soul of Satoshi from Max Mellenbruch:



That is amazing wow
