Introducing CryptoPendants, a new and creative way to store your Bitcoins.

What are CryptoPendants?

CryptoPendants are CryptoCurrency themed pendants, in which you can literally store Bitcoins, as you would in a physical Bitcoin or paper wallet.

The Pendants have a small plate inside them which slides in and out. On this plate is a tamper-evident security hologram, and beneath the hologram is the private key. CryptoPendants will (most likely) come with a small certificate, which includes the Bitcoin Address for your CryptoPendant. This means that the amount of money stored on a CryptoPendant is totally arbitrary and you can fund it as you please, unlike other physical Bitcoins which can only be bought with set amounts of money loaded in to them.

Here are a few pictures of the prototype that I currently have:




Click here to see an imgur album showing off CryptoPendants in better detail.

The prototype is...flawed, to say the least. All the details on can be found in the album linked above, so check that out.

Also, check out our (temporary) website!

I'm interested to know what people think of the concept in general, so please leave some feedback if you have any.

Super stoked about seeing these and getting the first serial number Anyway, I hope you get the help and support you need and good luck!

[ct1aic]

Great idea. I hope to get also one of the first specimens... Good luck!

Okay then!
I arrived home and held the prototype in my hands for the first time last night.

I've taken more detailed pictures and made an album, so do check that out: http://imgur.com/a/YNn61/#0 (Link has also been edited in to the main post.)

It's been a few days, I think it's about time I gave an update. I made an album explaining everything which you can check out here: http://imgur.com/a/aK8qI#0 so as to not burden you all with a giant wall of text and pictures.

Any feedback on the ideas proposed in the album would be greatly appreciated!

Very cool.  Keep up the good work.  Watching with interest.

Thanks for the album. I still think this is a great idea and you could start a Bitcoinstarter project: https://bitcoinstarter.com/.

BitcoinStarter eh? Interesting, didn't know such a thing existed. Thanks, I'll definitely look in to that once I've figured out exactly what needs funding.

I really like the initiative. Keep up the good work!

[Boelens]

Love it! Very interested to see where this goes, watched the thread! =).

Hey all! I've put together another update album for you guys which can be found here: http://imgur.com/a/KNZdQ#0

Also, I've tidied up the main post a bit by doing the following things:

Bumped down the list of issues with the prototype to the first reply
Removed the donation address because I realised it was a totally stupid idea
And made some small edits here and there to fix wording

I also added an archive of the Update Albums to the first reply.

Damn, this is so freaking sweet. Can't wait!

My suggestion would be not to include a Bitcoin logo due to the risk of theft/mugging

The idea here isn't really to create an ultra-secure paper wallet/physical Bitcoin. If there is demand for a different design of pendant which isn't really identifiable as a Bitcoin related product but still stores Bitcoins so as to reduce the risk of theft/mugging, I'll make one. Until then, I think that keeping it "branded" like this makes for a better conversation piece.

Don't worry, I have many ideas for future versions of CryptoPendants - one of which I've started modelling - some of which increases the security. For now though, I'm just focused on making a pendant that stores Bitcoins.

These are pretty nifty. Good work bud.

As novel as the idea is, I would be terrified of having it snatched off my person.

Unfortunately, this is a real problem. One which I'm not entirely sure how to rectify. The best advice I could give would be to conceal it in public, but then what's the point of it? You might as well just print off a paper wallet.

To be honest, if it would just make you paranoid and stress you out, perhaps it's not the physical Bitcoin for you.

We could always buy 2... one to use as secure wallet, in a secure place and one "empty" for use/display as a pendant.
