Once i scrape together some funds, i hope to order a batch of one or a few different USB drives with Bitcoin graphics printed on them. I'm still chewing on some ideas for a credit card shaped drive, so for now I'll start with some simple round ones. Which if any of these graphics appeal to you?

I'm not sure on the exact choice of drive or pricing yet, I'll update this post when i have gotten some quotes.

UPDATE: Ok well based on the first quote I've gotten i wont be able to sell them for less than 15$ + 5$ shipping. I am not happy with that price and am getting more quotes from other suppliers to see if i cant get that down to 8-12$. On top of that what ever graphic I use will need to need to be reduced to 4 colors to be printed. So it wont end up as pretty as i had hoped unless i can find a place that does full color printing cheap. I've decided on a capacity of 4Gb, that way it can be used to hold a portable OS if the user so desires.

Note to mods: I wasn't sure if this would fit better in Marketplace, Project Development or here, so I've put it in Bitcoin Discussion since it seems to get more traffic. If I've made a mistake please move this thread to the appropriate board. Thank you.

Does Bitcoin-specific USB drive mean Bitcoin stealing malware included?

Ha, no. They will be blank fat32. I had though about writing a wallet backup script for each platform that would encrypt the wallet.dat and then copy it to the drive, with the option to also back up to a service like Dropbox, but given the recent malware fears I think I'll leave that be a second project people can put on the drive themselves if they like.  Wink

It also scans the blockchain and posts a sympathy emo-thread when 'n' amount is transferred, with the appropriate 'donation' address. Cuts out the middleman!

But seriously, I like the second one the best. First one is nice and fancy - just like how minimalist and clean the second icon is.
