So has there anybody redeemed a coin yet? Best with a video on youtube of the whole process. I only volunteer for enough donations
However, I'd donate to somebody who is actually doing it...
Also what about the cracked coin issue of the Casascius coins? Probably affects Lealana coins too.
Is it already the end of the area of the physical coins?
I would encourage anyone who is willing to redeem one of their Lealana coins to do a public documented video/article of the process.
Concerning the hologram issue at DEFCON, although my coins have not been tested in the same manner, I suspect with the right expertise as those at DEFCON have of hacking security systems, that the same would happen to my coins when tested.
Currently I am looking into methods to deter such an attack including using Laser markings on the hologram itself and other methods.
Physical security is as Mike says it best,
"a cat and mouse game". Given enough attempts the hacker will likely gain access in any security system.
As I am aware right now the same people who have successfully removed the hologram off of the Casascius 0.5 bitcoin brass COIN are testing the 1 oz Silver Casascius coins with the Laser marks on the hologram. So far I am not aware of any deterministic results on it being "broken" or "hacked" for this version of Mike's coins.
All of the coins that I produce that are purchased directly from me are genuine and safe to the original buyer. The attacker would need to have direct access to your coins in order to perpetrate the proposed attack on the security hologram.
