I am happy and proud to introduce Coldkey™ to you. This project has been secretly taking shape over the last few months and is going forward quite nicely. We are currently in the late stage of the development of our product. We will be probably able to start shipping sometime in June. What is Coldkey ?It is a cold storage wallet card. Each Coldkey is denominated in crypto and comes with that amount loaded onto it's key. Coldkey cards have several security features that makes them very difficult to counterfeit and tamper with. Coldkeys cards are also collectibles. Each of them is serialized and authenticable in an unique way. (an early working prototype) Authenticable ?Under that black rectangle on the picture, there is a random string of character that is unique to each Coldkey. It is the AuthKey. There will be two AuthKeys on each card. One that is printed in plain, and one that is hidden and made with UV. You can easily check the association of the serial number and the AuthKey on our authentication tool : https://auth.coldkey.euYou can try with these data: Serial : BITCOINTALK-TEST-0 AuthKey : aZ42b321 This way you can verify if the Coldkey card you hold is authentic, and it becomes even more difficult to counterfeit a large amount of Coldkey serial numbers. Difficult to tamper with ?Each private key is safely covered by a security hologram sticker. This hologram is specially made for Coldkey. (Only early prototypes have a generic "SECURE" hologram used for testing) The Coldkey card is then covered by a plastic layer that is pretty resistant. (> 5000 Taber cycles) Some of the attack vectors against known collectible coins are not possible with Coldkeys. The only way to redeem the card is by cutting right through it and peel the holo. The plastic film won't be an issue at that point. It is equally cruel and cool to have to destroy the item to redeem it tho. (Original pic uncompressed so you can try out the private key : https://i.imgur.com/R4lPji5.jpg) (Some UV swag ) Pictures of prototypes shown at Coinfest UK : (21 made and distributed during the convention) We will be releasing loaded cards in batch on a regular basis, without limits in quantities, and occasionally some limited series as well. Every important announcement regarding Coldkey will be made on this thread, which will also serve as a Reference thread. Many things are probably missing here. There is as well many surprises and improvements to come since the Coinfest prototypes. Please visit our website for more informations : https://www.coldkey.euSpecial thanks to Polymerbit.They helped us a lot by designing the Coldkey logo and providing a background for our prototypes. Foreshadowing great collaborations, we are open and looking forward to work with Polymerbit on joint projects in the future ! Thank you very much for reading. We are looking forward to reply to your questions, and all ears about any suggestion you may have.

I can safely say these are very cool in hand. I am testing their various properties from build to security qualities. So far, the verdict is good. They're VERY well made.

When, how much and both funded/unfunded will be avaible? They look pretty promising, I'm pretty eager to see where these lead. The UV makes it pretty amazing aswell.

Thank you everyone for your kind words. We've been working a lot on this project these last months. It's awesome to see such a great reaction ! Physicals really are one of the best ways to spread crypto around. Looking very cool can already buy-order?
Thank you ! Unfortunately, not yet but keep an eye open. We will probably announce and open pre-orders for our very first edition later in April. When, how much and both funded/unfunded will be avaible?
We are looking to start shipping in June, but nothing is set in stone as of now. They will all be denominated, and carrying that amount. We don't plan to release denominated "buyer funded" Coldkeys as of now. So either unloaded "0 BTC" cards, or loaded ones.

I too, can vouch for the quality of this product after meeting with Yogg. I witnessed him getting grilled relentlessly from a couple of chaps regarding the security measures and he took it all in his stride and calmy answered everything. The manufacture quality on these is impeccable as well.

Thank you everyone for the very warm welcome you did to Coldkeys I appreciate all your kind words ! It is very encouraging and really makes give my best to make this project a success. Sometime tomorrow, we will be announcing our first release. This serie will be limited, it will be fully functional and pretty cool cold storage wallet. We will be open for pre-orders and first come, first served. Stay on the lookout if you want to pick your favorite serial number ! Even if it's a pre-order, we still have many cool things to show you The shipping is planned for the 2nd half of June, however we may be able to ship earlier. We are expecting to retrieve some crucial parts of what will be our finished product sometime at the end of May/early June. During the month of May, we will keep developing. This is when our website will become available. Our company is also working on legal notices with lawyers to make sure of the do's and dont's regarding compliance with regulatory bodies when being in the business of crypto. After this first release has been completed, this is when we expect to start producing and selling loaded Coldkey cards. I would like to thank you all for all your trust and your support. Coldkeys would have probably never seen the light of day without you all.
