Hi there. New to this forum, but ain't a newbie in crypto world.
I'm trying to popularize the idea of investment in cryptocurrency among small households.

And immediately after newcomer buy his first digital coin he needs to decide- where to store it?
We propose to store it on a cold wallet that can be made by me in a form of steel card:

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/437309334/coin-armor-steel-cryptocurrency-wallet

and support us  Grin
Any questions? Feel free to ask here or on Kickstarter.

 This actually looks like a really good idea, a pretty simple yet effective one at that. More interested in the fact that it is engraved in metal or that I am the fact that is the size and shape of the credit card. If I were wanting to  Store larger amounts: I wouldn’t need to carry around in my wallet. But I do like it is protected in case of fires, flooding stuff like that. Good luck with the idea hope you guys reach your goal.

Thanks for your opinion!
Anyway, it should be compact from my point of view. And credit card has enough space to store QR code and key in a text form.
If you do like the idea please spread a word about it. Post in social networks etc.
That project is not about profit (15$ for cutting, polishing, engraving, shipping and my time Wink ) it's about attracting newcomers into a cryptoworld, that are afraid of hackers, fraud, stock exchanges etc. Just a cheap, simple and reliable way to store coins for a long term.

Makes sense, but where do you want to store the private key or the passwords? Don´t get me wrong, but to store both information, Address and keys, is very unsecure. How do you make it safe?

Private key is pass-phrase encrypted. I don't know it and so I don't know your real key. Where to store pass-phrase? That's  your decision.

Thanks for your answer. At all it looks good. Wishing you the best for your kickstarter.

So how is your project better than what cryptosteel, bitkee , cryobit are doing?

You're just basically engraving letters and numbers on a metal sheet.
The rest is just fancy words.
I can do that in the nearby home depot for 5 euros.

Yeah I would agree in this. The project is good and I would like to carry a fancy card with me, but that's just it. It's just a fancy card with my private keys. If I'm never going to use to I would rather store them at a safe place than my pocket.

That's it - metal card with engraved letters. What were you expecting for 15$ + worldwide shipping?
Just a a reliable version of paper note.
