Today I got the price quotes straight from the manufacturer.
16GB USB drives are $16/piece. I will post more info when I have some sample pictures. I think that's a pretty good price with an order of only 25 pieces.
(credit card shaped USB drives 0.30btc/piece in the other thread and people pre-ordering, wtf. I can get those too and the price is also about $16/piece.)
Received my two 8GB keys today, they look great!
Sturdy construction as well, thanks MXRider!
That's an excellent price for the 16GB size; regarding the style, I personally consider the key shape to be superior. Credit card style USB drives are simply too cumbersome for what they are. There is more space to write a message on them and they're handy to keep in a wallet but the key style is the same width as the credit cards would be, just with a smaller overall size and the handy option of being able to stick them on a keyring.
As far as the message on them goes, perhaps instead of "You asked for change, we gave you coins" or "
BTC future money", something along the lines of "
BTCitcoin: The future of money!" would be good? I think that would hammer home the idea that Bitcoin - or a future embodiment of it - IS the future of money, and the fiat in our pockets has a very limited lifespan ahead of it.
Have you managed to price up 32GB versions? Would be very interested in those, and I look forward to seeing the sample pictures of the 16GB!
