[ANN - INFO] Project Icarus: The forum redemption story 🔐

[cygan]

since today you can find a new function on our website, the 'Authkey tool'. this tool allows you, who are in possession of one or more Icarus cards, to check all cards for authenticity and to see if it is an original card or a cheap fake: https://icarus-cards.eu/index.php/authkey-tool/
you will always find the respective auth-key on the back of the respective cards. here you can see an example of a positive and negative authenticity check:

Very great addition, congrats!

Your post reminds me an idea that could be used in the cold cards..

What of an open-source tool that could use some user end token or pass-code to get for the card just a partial encoded private key.. while becoming to exchanging the card the encoded private keys could be printed with a special indicator, and buyer/seller could check the Token authenticity straight on the Tool that can show if it is really belonging to the card Auth-key !

@Danydee if i understand you correctly, you want to have a password generated that then gives you access to part of the private key?
i think that's too sensitive, it would mean that the private key is saved at some point during the whole process in order to be encrypted
that goes against the most basic security rules and regulations for us!

naaah, excuse my english.. I'm sometimes very sluggish

I was rather wondering about a (cryptographic) tool that can be used to (split) in some way the private key following these steps: The tool is gived the password and then generate the partial or encrypted Key that would be printed on the card. (It would be blind cryptographic mechanics so the generation algorithm made it without even calculating the whole private key). It can be an open source code that can be ran on user side and then just an secure encoded token is transmitted to Icarus for the calculation of the partial Key!
 So obviously the partial key cannot be used alone to control the wallet, it need to be reconstructed using the pass-code known only by the user.

The concept can be extended to get implemented on blockchain and use (tokens) to master the keys !  It is even possible to work on an implementation that allow the users to own their tokens without necessarily caring a crypto-wallet! To let some choice to the users on how they want to handle this
And the tokens of course would be transferable in case the cards will be changing hands 


What do you think of ?!

you should have received a pm from one of our team members to clarify your thoughts from our point of view

with this update, we would like to inform our customers, and perhaps those who would like to become customers, about further releases that you can look forward to in the near future.
as far as the timeline editions are concerned, we can now inform you that for each quarter this year we have the commitments of the respective crypto artists who have decided to create these editions with us and be a part of the journey

we will also be releasing a special edition each quarter - in q1 you can look forward to the 'skull edition', which we will release on the anniversary of the publication of this BTCitcoin debate

in q2 (where the halving will also take place) we will also release another special edition with our halving edition - here we were also able to win over a well-known and successful crypto artist for us
we can't tell you yet which special editions will be released in q3 and q4 of this year - but they will definitely be available
and a second edition of the hat-edition is already being planned...

so stay tuned and we would like to thank you for the orders so far and the trust you have placed in us as customers and also as artists

Yes, it is much clearer now !  

Your reactivity is very impressive..

Thank you so much !

[cygan]

how it ended and how a new light appeared on the horizon🤩
thank you for the pics provided by one of our customers

[cygan]

today we would like to present you our new envelopes in which you can keep the cards you have already received (reorders will be possible for the envelopes only)
the envelopes will soon be a fixed part of the cards sales - we can't tell you yet which edition this 'package' will be available from
the dark side is the outside and the white side is the inside of the foldable envelopes - a special detail is still missing, but let us surprise you
the setup link is not yet available on our website...

[cygan]

under our new setup link you will now find a guide on how to send your funds from your loaded Icarus cards to another BTC address of your choice

Beautiful signature, congratulations. Jayce is actually an artist making signatures on BBCode.

Continued success for your project.

[Jay Johanson]

Hello. We have reviewed your project and expressed interest.

Please contact our manager to discuss details.

today we would like to inform you that our halving edition is finally finished and will soon be available for purchase
the halving edition will be available on the gold, silver and copper cards - each color will have an edition of 21 cards (serials from #1 to #63) and this edition will also be the first one that we will send out with our new and matching envelopes.

you're probably wondering who was involved in designing this edition... it was none other than RebelMoney, with whom we had a very good dialog during the whole time and are also very happy about the collab!

on the first weekend of may we will start an auction of the gold cards for several days - after this has been completed, there will be a sales thread for the silver and copper cards

[cygan]

yesterday we started our new auction where you can get the golden edition of our halving cards 👉 [AUCTION - 21 Lots] Icarus 4th Halving Gold Edition (designed by RebelMoney)🔐✂️
this edition is also the first one that will be sent together with our new envelopes

after mx12.levins, vizique and geophphreigh, we have now been able to win another artist for a collab with RebelMoney. we have now also received 3 more confirmations for a future collab

which artists would you like to see in the future?

[cygan]

short notice to all Icarus customers/subscribers and those who want to become one
today around 20:00 (forum time) the sale of the timeline may edition starts - of course also with our new envelopes
stay tuned!

[cygan]

today we would like to inform you and our customers that we will be adding another security feature to our upcoming cards
the cards will then have a uv protection and it will be even more difficult to counterfeit them
we are currently in the test phase and are looking at various options. we cannot yet tell you when the uv security feature will appear as standard on our cards
here are a few pictures of what it might look like:

[cygan]

to all Icarus enthusiasts and serial junkies
from next month serials #1 and #2 will be available again and you can subscribe for the timeline editions!

at the same time we would like to thank krogothmanhattan and sunnybwoy for their loyalty and for supporting us from the very beginning. we hope that your Icarus cards have found a nice place in your home
