Transactions must be included in a block to be properly completed. When you send a transaction, it is broadcast to miners. Miners can then optionally include it in their next blocks. Miners will be more inclined to include your transaction if it has a higher transaction fee.

A private key on a piece of paper is placed behind a tamper proof holo.  A buyer peels the holo sticker when redeeming and imports into a client like blockchain.info and others.  The public address may optionally be visible on the outside or just on a card for the buyer to reference.

Look at Casaacius or Lealana coins as examples.  There are many similar coins out there in the Goods subforum.

How do you make/redeem a physical Bitcoin?


Making a "physical bitcoin"

Run Bitcoin -QT

Go to the console (youtube this)

Dump the private keys (youtube this)

Print the private keys to a peice of paper, make it easy by adding a QR code.


"Redeeming" a physical bitcoin.

Run Bitcoin -QT
Go to the console

Import private keys (youtube this)



Shouldn't be more than 5 mintues of youtube. I forget the commands of the top of my head.  I have them written down, although I am sure someone could just edit this and fill them in for you.
