Are these loadable and if so, is hologram included?
Confirming with minerjones. I am not 100% sure with these specifically.
No holo/not loadable. Token only but still are all sold out and have been a while now
Actually, they are "loadable"... but however
not very well done not as secure as a hologram protecting a private key tied to a specific address, an interesting concept nonetheless.
from a
review on them:
Functionality: I'll come right out and say that CURRENTLY* the coin is virtually useless on its own. You need their site to provide any semblance of functionality. Here's how it works. The coin has a code engraved on its edge (where the ridges would be on a US quarter or dime.) This code is NOT a Monero or BTC or any other crypto address, but is rather a "coin ID" of sorts. They email you an activation code, and when you get the coin you use that code along with the engraved "coin ID." You can then "link" the coin to any one (each) Monero, Bitcoin, Litecoin, and Dogecoin address of your choosing. These are public addresses, so naturally the coin is "deposit only." The key here is that to retrieve and view these addresses, you must log into the Cryptonic.net site. So unless I'm missing something, there is practically no use for the coin itself (except to unlock this feature on the site) since it's really the website you're using to keep track of your addresses. Even then, there are numerous other ways to have all of your addresses in one place.
...
UPDATE Jan 11, 2016: There is now a functionality for user-supplied entropy for the wallet generator at moneroaddress.org. Thus, you should now be able to enter the "coin ID" plus a password/phrase of your choosing, and obtain a wallet address which is truly tied to the coin. I have not yet tried it, however.
