[WTS](HALTED) Bitcoin Loaded Coldkey™ -- 1mBTC, 5mBTC & 10mBTC

[yogg]

We are happy and proud to announce our next cold storage wallets :

Bitcoin Loaded Coldkeys

Welcome to our first Loaded Coldkey release.

Bitcoin Loaded Coldkeys come out of our workshop with a quantity of BTC, their denomination, attached to the wallet cryptographic keys they bear.*

Each serial for Bitcoin Loaded Coldkeys will start with BTC-, then the year of production (19), then the denomination (.1M or .5M), and then finally the serial (.0)

In this case, "M" stands for milli-bitcoin.

These Coldkeys, as well as the rest of them, are authenticable on the Coldkey Authentication page : https://auth.coldkey.eu

Each of them has both the plain AuthKey as well as the UV AuthKey.

(You can verify the ones in the picture if you like Serial : BTC-19.5M.0  AuthKey : gi%Ge&Z+RHc/)

The Bitcoin Loaded Coldkey serie is not limited; serials will simply keep incrementing.

Our cold storage wallets will be released with two available denominations : 0.001BTC and 0.005BTC.

Other denominations are planned.

Price : 26,90 € per wallet + Funding
Funding must be in the form of BTC

(VAT Included, Import taxes are the responsability of the customer)

Bitcoin Loaded Coldkeys are shipped to you funded;
however for a better security, we are open to transactions with a 3rd party escrow who will hold onto your funding during the shipping process.

(Buyers will settle the escrow fee)

Bitcoin Loaded Coldkeys are available.

Grab yours now by placing an order on our shop !
>> https://www.coldkey.eu/shop <<
(We accept crypto (BTC, LTC and ETH); PayPal and Credit Card.)

After your order confirmation, please provide the funding for your cards. They will ship loaded to you.
That process is fully automated. Please use our funding tool to do so : https://funding.coldkey.eu
(Additionnal informations at checkout and in the confirmation email)

If you have any question about our Coldkeys or a suggestion, it will be a pleasure to answer to you !
All your feedbacks are very important for us !
Thank you for reading !

* : Except for the orders where an escrow holds onto the funding.

This thread is our Announcement for the Loaded Bitcoin Coldkey serie.
To prevent multiple threads, it will turn into a WTS thread when available.

Hey comit !

Thanks for your nice words
I will come back to you when we can process your order.

Many thanks for the offer to take better pictures. We need that
I had quite some troubles with my phone, given the amount of details and the lighting messing with the auto-focus.

I'm currently selecting the best pics, and will post a alink to an album so you can see higher resolution pictures of the cards.

[tweetious]

the usage of a 3rd party escrow is mandatory or optional?

[tothemoonsands]

Any word on US distributors? I’d love to see Mantis Warehouses handle stateside for ultra-fast shipping!

[pk1978]

looking gorgeous. I would also reserve a few, lower numbers the better.

I have 2 questions:

1, how can ppl be sure the private keys can not be leaked? do you hold a copy of them? or how is it generated / handled?

2, planned distribution in Asia? AU and or NZ?

Thanks much!

It is based on how you trust a maker.
If you think he might have a key copy, dont buy. If you believe he dont.- buy it.
I think we are safe and the only copy of a key is under the holo.

thanks, its not about trust, it is business, this question was asked I am sure, from the CEO many times, and I am pretty sure they have an answer for this.

(dude, I have casascius coins, loaded with btc, so trust me, I trust the makers, lol, but I might be in the position of importing 1000+ of these to asia, if its possible, so obviously I need to know details.)

[owlcatz]

Yogg, put me down for two. 

Guys - You can trust Yogg. He's not going to scam, people know his real name and location. He's done keys securely for at least one Polymerbit release so far as well. 

[geophphreigh]

Look awesome. Can't wait to pick some up. 

[yogg]

Thanks everyone for all your questions

Let me bring some details and reply to you all :

the usage of a 3rd party escrow is mandatory or optional?

Hey tweetious !

It is optional.
For now, your Coldkeys must be shipped loaded.
However, for enhanced fund safety, they can ship unloaded under condition that the funding has been secured by a 3rd party escrow (agreed upon us, must be Bitcointalk escrow tho).

As a startup, we are undertaking our financial regulator agreement, so we are able to provide more crypto-assets services to the world.

Any word on US distributors? I’d love to see Mantis Warehouses handle stateside for ultra-fast shipping!

Hi Moonie !

Thanks for your question.
For now, it is too early to confirm or state anything about this.
However, thanks a lot for the idea ! We like it a lot and would love to see this happen.
Stay tuned for our future developments !

Hey pk1978 !

Thanks a lot for your nice words and your questions.
Unfortunately we cannot reserve some for you, but I will let you know when our wallets are available for sale, so you can grab a few low serial numbers.

1)
The private keys cannot be leaked, because we do not hold a copy of them. They are generated on the fly and exist only on the Coldkey wallet itself.
In our Genesis Edition, we did not record some of the public addresses of some cards for increased privacy. (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5132621.0)
The generation takes place on a secure setup. We take the outmost care when it comes to the integrity of the private keys.
We use open source

In the future, we may release series that involve our company to hold onto a copy of private keys (Masternode cold storage ... ) but we are not legally allowed to do so, yet.
Only an agreement from the French financial regulator can enable us to offer such services.

We take all these matters very seriously.

2)
Coldkeys are available worldwide, with the exception of China.
We are always on the lookout for distributors. Please get in touch with me with a DM or Telegram (@yogg1). You can also send us an email at the address contact[at]coldkey.eu

I'll be happy to let you know when we are open for orders.

It is based on how you trust a maker.
If you think he might have a key copy, dont buy. If you believe he dont.- buy it.
I think we are safe and the only copy of a key is under the holo.

Thank you very much for your vouch and for your trust, StackItUp  
Our primary goal is to make crypto-assets more easily accessible for everybody.
We believe the technology behind it will help people to achieve prosperity without being affected by the artificial barriers that exist nowadays.

Yogg, put me down for two.

Owlcatz, thanks so much for your awesome feedback.

Yep, I will never understand those who scam people. It is straightforward gained by abuse, which is inconceivable.
We're here for the long run, and take every measure and step forward for the best of Coldkey.
Time goes by so fast, I am impatient to see where Coldkey will be in one year.

Look awesome. Can't wait to pick some up.  

Hi geophphreigh

Special 1mBTC Coldkeys :

Special 5mBTC Coldkeys :

The Gold and Silver Coldkeys are not available for purchase upon request.
Do you know "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" ? This is a bit like it.
Purchase some Coldkeys to store your crypto in the long run, and you may get lucky and hit a Golden Coldkey.

3%5% of the Loaded Coldkeys will be Gold, and 7%10% will be Silver.
90%85% of the Loaded Coldkeys will be on plain cards, such as in the OP.

We have drawn lucky serial numbers for the first 500 serials, so we have a predetermined list of serials for Gold and Silvers, for the 1mBTC and the 5mBTC.
Yes, the lucky numbers are different on both series. Given that the numbers are randomly drawn, it may happen to have a particular serial to be gold or silver on both denominations.

EDIT : I will rework on the special serial numbers, so they are more spread out. This initial distribution was unfair.
We have changed the repartition of special cards.
Here is the hash of lucky serials for the first 100 cards :

1mBTC (10-100) : 2fe44d4d5bd258f29eb7ed8483c1a47cd7858b07aec137eb2c8fefe7e5af9ee1
5mBTC (10-100) : 34d15a6b977a612cf7b1c46816389cd76e68efeb587ff533e81b61dd9282dbf9

We will be announcing the Special Coldkeys that go into circulation.

do the .1M / .5M cards come in a nice box (similar to the genesis edition) with a numbered certificate?

Hello tweetious !

Thanks a lot for your question.

They do not come in a box like the Genesis Edition ones, however we have prepared a nice packaging for these Coldkeys cards.
It also serves as a numbered certificate.
