Woah, that was definitely scary! People have been asking me how to remove the hologram without damaging the private key. Do you have any tips on the best way to do it or what to pay special attention to? Also, congrats on holding onto that artwork for such a long time!

Beautiful coin and what a hold. Congrats on that. Make sure you yoink the BCH off there too if you haven't already. From my observations we shouldn't ever have to worry about Casascius, CryptoImperator, Lealana or BTCC private key inks fading on us anytime soon. I still wonder if they took this possibility of ink degradation into mind during the earlier mints of these coins. But i'll be watching, waiting in the shadows. Thanks for the bump and the pictures.. everyone here appreciates it.

I would have to find the thread again but there was a xmr Lealana where the ink literally faded when peeled in the matter of just taking pictures it was noticeably fading.

That is the only one I have heard of or seen that did that though.

I do remember that thread now! I want to say it was green ink for some reason. I can't imagine us letting it go without smoothie chiming in or us figuring out the problem though hmmm. Would be interesting to find. I spent 10 minutes with the amazing search function we have but to no avail.

smoothie did help resolve it and rxalts was able to recover the xmr.

I think there might have been a second thread, but this is the one I found.

in this very interesting thread, we would also like to be transparent for our collecting community and show you what our private key behind the Icarus hologram looks like
the pk consists of a qr-code, which also protects those who damage the qr-code when peeling the hologram through a certain redundancy - the qr-code is then still intact and you can extract the pk.
it is important that the 3 larger squares are not damaged!
you can see what that looks like in this short video: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ntIrjnHJ5-AkR7Uqyh6xgK6b3PPA-H0r/view
