Companies claiming they got hacked and lost your coins sounds like fraud so perfect it could be called fashionable. I never believe them. If I ever experience the misfortune of a real intrusion, I declare I have been honest about the way I have managed the keys in Casascius Coins. I maintain no ability to recover or reproduce the keys, not even under limitless duress or total intrusion. Remember that trusting strangers with your coins without any recourse is, as a matter of principle, not a best practice. Don't keep coins online. Use paper or hardware wallets instead.

Just topped it: 1,042 outputs, 35.6 kB in this one. Very nifty. I can take a good guess as to which output is your change, though.  |

Seems to be the case with many of the 100 BTC bars. Have you compiled any statistics on the number of pristine/defiled coins or average deflowering time?

A couple of others have. http://uberbills.com/casasciushttp://casascius.appspot.com <--- more accurate at the moment Seems the bars get ripped open pretty quickly, presumably because the buyers just want the BTC (they are buying from MemoryDealers for USD, not from me) |

Perhaps there's a market for higher denominations on the cheapest possible material. I am interested* in a graphs over time... * not so interested to do it myself.  |

Perhaps there's a market for higher denominations on the cheapest possible material. It does seem that if delivery of a physical product mitigates the risk of accepting Paypal/Credit Cards enough for companies to do it, that just mailing out private keys on paper ought to be sufficient for people who are just trying to buy bitcoins to have electronically. It seems the same thing to me, of course, but perhaps the fact of whether or not there's a real "coin" involved actually does make the payment companies look at it differently somehow. |
