1  Economy / Auctions / Re: Casascius 0.5 BTC Silver Series-2 physical bitcoin: NO RESERVE, 30-DAY AUCTION on: March 25, 2015, 01:51:54 PM
As we can see for more than a year, BTC and LTC physical coin from Casascius and Lealana are really a good way to store currency and to make (a really good) profit !  Shocked

Ummm, what?

Not so sure about that.

Buying a Casascius 25BTC even for as low/high as 27 a year ago would have cost you about $21,000.
If you were to redeem it, or even sell for a profit at 28, that would be worth (as of right this minute) only $7,000.

So, I wouldn't call it a store of currency or value, but moreover a store of bitcoins.  No profit yet.

Profit in bitcoin  Wink

This auction will add some more data to my "price of casascius coins in btc is unaffected by usd/btc rate" theory... one way or another.

Yeah ! Profit in bitcoin ...
When you use it, you "speak" it !  Cool

$10 is a very good price for a hardware wallet. But this JavaCard and Yubi key costs more than $10 and this need a special Yubi key that is not available. Not many people can test this project.

Javacard is cheap compair with the YubiKey ...

If you have one left, I would love to try it out, if not, I'll buy one once I have some BTC. Everything is locked up in cold storage and trades.

Of course, cold storage is the best storage you could find !
Physical coins, paper wallet, etc. use pre-print private key to store the crypto-value.
Of course it's better than an online trade plateform but if you lose your paper/coin, you lose your BTC !

With this card, the simlock is a great shield against hackers, plus a good software implementation to deal with the blockchain.

Furthermore, with this new design, the card's looking gorgeous  Roll Eyes

Hi Toporin.

Thank you ! I've received the simcard this morning.  Tongue
But it's a white one ... Need some skin tweak before I test the card.
