Pre-Introducing a new type of physical bitcoin, the Keyois Capsule

Who's going to be engraving keys? Yourself or a third party?
And will there be any private keys engraved too?

My understanding is that OP will be engraving both the address and the passphrase protected BIP38 private key.

This is relatively safe, since BIP38 encryption is pretty safe. OP would need to brute force the BIP38 passphrase to steal coins.

This reddit post gives a BIP38 private key for an address with 1 BTC in it. The passphrase is just 6 letters (a-z and A-Z) yet nobody has yet cracked it, after more than a year.

Very interesting. Could do that with some actual coins too.
I like the capsule too, good idea.

* can survive both being shot from a potato cannon, and being hit by a potato from one

 * can survive being boiled in custard and baked into a pie

Can't wait to get my hands on one of these, i have lost count of how many private keys of mine have been destroyed when I'm baking a pie or under fire from a potato gun

You must be on that team testing the robustness of USB drives, from wiki - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_permanence


"These devices tend to be extraordinarily resilient; in a 2005 destructive test, a USB key survived boiling in a custard pie, being run-over by a truck and fired from a mortar at a brick wall.[citation needed] "


And if you're not one of them, then I think you guys should become friends in the future.
