Itokawa Timebank wallet finally ready

[Humble Bitcoiners]

ITOKAWA TIMEBANK

Finally after nearly 1,5 years i`m happy to release it here on the Forum. First of all...i`m just a little slave to Bitcoin, serving and dedicating all my work and passion to this creation that came amongst us 14 years ago.

I tried to find a way to express the most important things for me in Bitcoin. The halvings and the lightning network as layer 2 solution.

That`s why i chose to pour 4 half fine silver balls symbolizing the coming halving and the lightning symbol. The silver balls are made out of Kangaroo fine silver 1 oz coins. After rolling, cutting them into pieces and pouring them into graphite, i glowed and hardended them 2 times and brought them into form before i was able to grind and polish them. The silver and the Resin lightning are poured in 3 layers of Resin. The Priv key is generated offline with a brandnew Raspi 4 through BitcoinCore and got offline lasered on stainless steel which is covered by the security hologram. Additionally i poured the holo and the fine silver number plate on the back with Resin and grinded/polished it. That means you have to destroy the wallet to get access to the priv key.

The total amount of fine silver is a little over 3.125 ozt , the coming block award and the load value will be 0.003125 BTC

The orange Box is made out of local beech wood and is coloured in Hex #F2A900/Pantone 144. It keeps closed perfectly with fitting magnets on the inner side of the box

Every wallet takes around 50 hours to be finished. The Resin lightning bolt and every silver ball alone take 3 hours to produce. I finished 6 until now. There are 2 transparent wallets and 6 different colour variations. 21 wallets numbered from #01 to #21 and 5 Ap`s. All the people who reserved in front through Bitcointalk, Twitter and Instagram will be contacted the coming days to check if they are interested. No worries. I have you on my list . Please get in touch and let me know your favourite # or colour and i`ll try to get it reserved for you. Price is 0.0375 Btc plus load value... Edited on 11th of January when 1st reserved wallets got sent out. 4 will be auctioned here. I think somewhere around February or March

Hey, congrats on completing these HB! I remember you first sharing this passion project of yours with me way back when. Please count me in for a luminous green version if available/not reserved.

[Humble Bitcoiners]

Thanks Mopar, it could be also called the "Blood, sweat & tears of Satoshi" wallet😂

Had so many 10 to 12h working days...Sometimes i thought i'm totally crazy doing this. But now i feel light as a feather.

Only 100 hours from now to finish the remaining

These look great. Something very creative from your part. I like it. If I had some BTC to spare, I'd buy one without hesitation.

Good job, Humble Bitcoiners!

[Otillio1330]

Wow! These are insane. Job well done!

I like the clear one the best!

[owlcatz]

Well goddamnit, well done mate! Stunning artistry to say the least and the time put in, love it! 

personally I adore the blue one, but cannot order one atm, sorry!

[LitLitBit]

Amazing art Humble! Love the silver balls and all the colors. Will send you a pm once I decide on a color. Keep up the great work!
 

[Humble Bitcoiners]

Thanks to all of you for your response. Will sort things out the next days with reservations.

Please name 2 or 3 numbers if possible for the case the wished one isn't available anymore. There's only 21 and colours are very limited to numbers.

Please check @ItokawaTimebank on Twitter for pics and Videos.

Colours are different in real. The Claret violet for example looks just crazy in hand but is hard to photograph.

Back to the Satoshi workshop... See you😌

[Fornalutx]

Looking forward to get one. Hard to choose the color. White, Sky blue, Luminous green are looking amazing. And of course black.
