Question, I'm worried that printing these on paper and simply folding it and putting it underneath the hologram will cause the paper to erode or wear off from the air and normal conditions come a year or two from now?
Is there any validity in this concern? Don't want to load a lot of bitcoin onto these and then not be able to have access to the wallet come a year from now cause of the private key wearing off.
I might just have too much anxiety about things haha.

I have a few of these myself, great coins for very reasonable price + Serp is great guy to trade with. I have done my DIY in a little "different" way, as I am not planning to sell the coins I have loaded, then is there no need to destroy the priv key after print. I have save the priv key and encrypted it (with truecrypt) and stored the file on a USB stick, that allows me to have a backup of the priv key. If any of the two is lost (coin or file), then is it still possible for me to retrieve the funds. |

Has anyone had experience with opening a wallet 1-2 years old that was written on paper? |

Rec'd my two coins today, gonna be assembling them tonight! Can't wait!
One suggestion serp, there was WAY too much tape on this package. I had to literally rip the package to shreds to open it. You heavily taped both ends and the center of it. It was a fully taped package. Don't know if it was just me but it was overkill in my opinion. Thanks again nonetheless!

My package was properly taped and was not excessive at all. Had to be a fluke I would say as it was quite easy to open. |

Uh oh...thought this whole do-it-yourself coin was gonna be easy (never created a cold wallet before). I don't know how to use Ubuntu, how to find a virtual machine or download one with my mac and I can't seem to get this program to work...
Can anyone help here? I feel like I wasted 20 bucks now cause I have no idea how to do any of this.

You have not wasted $20 There are other ways of creating the private key + print. I did not use the DIY software. I created the private keys using a copy of www.bitaddress.org, copied the HTML file to a offline computer with a printer attached. (I actually tossed a dice 99 times to create a random BASE99 number, so I did not have to trust ninja's random generator) I then made a template in paint (2 x square that fits serp coins if folded), and copy-pasted in the private in one of the squares and the puplic key in the other square. Print, cut, fold, and assemble. Very easy to do, all with standard software. (also recommended to "test/verify" the private key offline with bitaddress.org before loading the coin) Edit: I do not want to hijack serp thread, PM and I can help you with this method if you like the idea and my explanation is not clear enough. |

In regards to ink fading, you either want to print the privkey on special paper that is designed to hold laser-printed patterns for 10 years or more, or you can also just use an impact printer. I have a receipt printed from an impact printer 10 years ago, still completely legible.

Well I hope you like the coins! I actually had a postal worker lecture me on not taping enough once so maybe I do overkill it now? I'm not currently using self adhesive mailing labels so I just get the 4 sides of the label and then once over top of your address. I will probably pick up a thermal printer soon. |
