wanted to BTCump this interesting thread again and post an old tweet from MrCryptHodl here showing how the private keys on his 1HoDLCLUB poker chips are attached behind the respective holograms

What you see when you scratch rear holo 👀 this one (BGC107) is considered as destroyed due the front holo badly put 🔑 #bitcoin

Hello teeGUMES,

nice topic to test some coins.
If you want, I'll send you a coin from me so you can test it too.

I can test! ^{[But seriously, I'm thinking about ordering a batch of coins from you dedicated to the Bitcointalk Community Awards next year]}.

This is one of the best and most interesting threads on the forum. Thank you for all you hard work and sacrifices of the holograms.

The community thanks you!

Interesting thread indeed, I was always wondering what was behind some of the holograms. This would be helpful in devising my own keys. Thank you all!

Bump for anyone that hasn't found this amazing thread, thanks again teegumes for putting this together

I peeled my Titan this week. I will go grab some pics and see if I can post them.

Is it better to store these in a box with little-to-no air flow and desiccants? (Those little "do-not-eat" packages)

Is a dry environment best or is a bit of moisture better?

Thanks!

Ideally, a climate controlled environment is best. I use an airtight box for unslabbed/ungraded coins, and yes I use dessicant packages as well, just to be safe. Metals and moisture are a bad thing IMO

    I store my coins and collectables in an air tight box or container with the silica gel packets away from any light as well...just like I store my stamps.

    I also in that same box with the other boxes...place a large  Rechargeable Silica Gel 450 Gram Carton...that once saturated with water can be heated in an oven and be used all over again.

    Moisture and light are my enemies here...so for my mags...I take color photo copies of the product and display that on my wall and not the actual item.
Did the same for my bitbills...only copies are displayed...wouldn't want the light to fade away my items.

What happened to your Titan?


On another note, any chance you would add some Moonbits to your list @teeGUMES ?

Love this thread, amazing effort. If you want I can peel one and send some high quality pics. Or just send you the sweeped chip.
If you prefer to peel your self, can also send you a chip for just the funding + shipping price, let me know.

Any Casascius Peel dates coming up or anyone have any to report?

2025 Perhaps?

Interested in how this is progressing.

Thanks!

TeeGumes seems to have been busy or away a while. I wonder the status of this project, but not worried.

Sorry guys, kinda lost steam and passion for this since the forum tech just doesn't show imgur links anymore. Let's say you're selling a coin and the buyer is unsure of the contents of the paperslip/ink condition I can on request check and verify that one exposed to the elements is indeed fine. I've just been visually checking yearly to confirm the ink is still viewable, just haven't thrown them under the scope.
Surprised there's no AI quick fix to fix all the broken images on this forum. Many many gem threads have lost their sparkle in this way.

Hey @teeGUMES,
I agree it’s a bummer to not see all the great pics that were posted.
Not sure about an AI to resolve this - but the pics are not all lost.
If you “inspect” the page on the thread, you can see all the original Imgur links.
Granted it would be a bit of a pain to take those images - download them, re-upload, and relink them all using a different image hosting service that works with the current forum.
But technically it’s all there.
Maybe a project for someone with a bit more time to do.   
Thanks!

Damnit... Somebody posted some script or fix for this to move links from imgur to talkimg - I'll have to dig around for it, it's a separate thread somewhere.

PS - Hey bucky - i miss you, where ya been bro?
