Hello everyone! I recently got a membership to Techshop, and with that membership, a laser engraver.
So I was trying to come up with stuff to laser etch, or engrave, that could be useful to the bitcoin community.

Here's what I have come up with so far:

- A USB key thumb-drive engraved with the bitcoin logo. (Perfect for cold storage) Link to possible USB drive for engraving: http://postimg.org/image/thcqzbjxj/

- A QR code aluminum business card, complete with Name, Business, phone number, physical address, bitcoin address,
choice of small or large bitcoin logo, and QR Code that links to either your bitcoin address (for easy payments)
or a URL of your choosing. Engraved onto aluminum, this business card will stand the test of time, and convey
professionalism.

- Acrylic laser etched "Bitcoin accepted here" sign with double sided foam tape for hanging in store windows.

I am open to suggestions of new products, but for now this is mostly a post to see if there is any interest out there for anything like this.

If this sounds interesting to you, please comment below, and let me know which products you would be interested in. I want to make sure there is enough interest in this before I order any supplies.

There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, but full nodes are more resource-heavy, and they must do a lengthy initial syncing process. As a result, lightweight clients with somewhat less security are commonly used.

  Hi, what kind of price do you see the business cards selling for?
I like the idea of having a card that could be used as cold storage, maybe two factor.

Right now I see the business cards selling for
$9.99 (in BTC) for 1 - 2 cards
$6.99 (in BTC) ea for 3+ cards
$4.99 (in BTC) ea for 6+ cards
$4.49 (in BTC) ea for 11+ cards
$3.99 (in BTC) ea for 20+ cards
$2.49 (in BTC) ea for 75+ cards

These might seem like it's a bit expensive, but keep in mind these aren't some cheap flimsy paper cards. They will be laser engraved onto sturdy aluminum.

(These prices do not include shipping. contact me for custom shipping prices.)

Yes having a card that is linked to a cold storage savings account sounds very nice!

Also a reminder, these cards will be custom engraved by me personally. I'm not just designing them and sending the designs off to some company. Smiley

Yes this is possible. Shouldn't be too hard at all!

I can engrave any info you wish onto these cards. Custom messages, bitcoin addresses, private keys, qr codes, just about anything!

So we're clear: I am not currently producing these. This post is to gauge interest. If anyone can honestly say they would buy a product listed above, please put that in a comment!

I can do this. What is your price for this? I will use better hard wood and better engraving than this. Give me the specs. I worked in furniture company for 5 years and 6 in jewelry company as laser engraver.

Do you have common designs for engraved business cards that can be used as a template? If so I'm interested.
