More detailed specifications hereWhat makes Ravenbit's physical bitcoin different from most other offerings?1) We don't generate, store or otherwise have access to your private keyWe provide you with custom label sheets, a custom tamper evident hologram and a client-side javascript
label template generator. You generate your keys with your preferred bitcoin wallet generator (we like bitaddress.org), paste the keys into our template generator, and then print to the included label sheets. No longer do you have to place your trust in the issuer or the issuer's processes. (p.s. we encourage you to examine the label generator's code)
2) We don't denominate our coinsYou get to decide how much, or how little
BTC you want to load onto your coin.
3) We don't load bitcoin onto our coinsSending the denominated value to the issuer, so the issuer can load the bitcoin after the coin is delivered puts the issuer at risk of regulatory action and again, requires the buyer to place his or her trust in the issuer. It also adds a significant up front cost for the buyer.
