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

[cygan]

from now on we would like to inform you at least once a month about our project and give you a monthly update on the upcoming releases, which will be published (in this case in november)

also this month you can look forward to the second release of the timeline edition, which of course was designed by mx12.levins. in addition to the timeline edition november, you can look forward to another edition, which will have a total of 20 different motifs and will initially have an edition of 21 cards per design/motif - this edition has something to do with the forum, but more will not be revealed...

what we are most looking forward to is that from now on all Icarus cards will have their own Icarus hologram
we hope that the timeline october cards will soon arrive at our customers - because we are already looking forward to your feedback!

in our last post i told you about our new Icarus holograms and with this post, we would like to introduce them to you - these holos will be available on all Icarus cards from now on and will secure the hiding of the pk's for all of us!

I never analyzed in depth how ColdKey works, but that is now in the past.

How do these cards specifically work? The person buys the card, who has an address where the person can deposit BTC, with the guarantee that only those who have the card can use the money, is that it?

exactly. the Icarus cards contain the public key (BTC address) and the private key (hidden behind the hologram) - both as qr-codes
the card owner can send any amount (or the amount printed on the card) to the card and can then withdraw it to another wallet with the help of the pk

Not wanting to distrust you (I have no reason to), but to understand: what guarantee is there that the Icarus team does not keep a record of the private key?

i knew the question was coming
it's like all the other crypto collectibles - the whole thing is based on trust

Cleared up. 

So now a "more difficult" question: 
Who does the design? Do you accept ideas, suggestions, work from other users and things like that?

exactly. we are in contact with various crypto artists and they then provide us with certain designs such as mx12.levins for the complete timeline edition q4/2023
we also already have a number of commitments from various artists for next year's timeline editions
we also receive designs for other editions from other designers

Good! I'll keep an eye out for future work now. 
You then announce it here whenever a new series comes out, right?

Meanwhile, I had some ideas, can I send a PM?

sure, you can send me a pm with your ideas
btw a list with all our editions/series can be found on the op below

[cygan]

due to the current high fees for on-chain transactions, we are pleased to inform you about our new ln-address  
if you wish, pay with lightning from now on and thus avoid the high fees then send me an pm for more details

the year is slowly coming to an end and so is the last (4th) quarter. this means that the collaboration with the crypto artist mx12.levins is successfully completed and we from the whole Icarus team would like to thank him for his 3 wonderful designs. the constant communication with him was always respectful and goal-oriented and his willingness to be a part of this timeline story makes us very proud 🤝🙏
if you still want to get some cards from the timeline edition of mx12.levins, please have a look at these three sales threads:

[SALE] Icarus Timeline Edition 10/2023 (designed by mx12.levins)🔐🕰️
[SALE] Icarus Timeline Edition 11/2023 (designed by mx12.levins)🔐🕰️
[SALE] Icarus Timeline Edition 12/2023 (designed by mx12.levins)🔐🕰️

on the other side it's time for a new quarter and three new designs from another crypto artist.
be surprised and be curious to see who will be shaping the timeline edition with us over the next 3 months

[cygan]

we are proud to announce that we will be sponsoring the TalkImg Awards - Image of the Year 2023 and will send the winners an Icarus card
if you are interested, you are welcome to participate in these awards

I cannot wait to see what you have planned for the upcoming halving that is right around the corner.

i would like to take this quote from one of our sales threads as a reason to tell you that we have found a crypto artist who will create a halving edition for us (who it is is not yet revealed)
Icarus is very proud of this and with our halving edition we want to finally put an end to the disaster that happened with the last halving edition...
we want to show you that there will be a halving edition after all that you can all look forward to, trust and count on

we would also like to present our new website, which went online this week!
icarus-cards.eu here you can find out more about the project and also order the cards via our online store

Congratulations on the website. I've already had the opportunity to visit, and it's already good, but there still seems to be room for improvement.
Just a note, the SSL certificate may not be configured very well. Sometimes this happens in Wordpress versions. Check the following pulgin that may help: https://pt.wordpress.org/plugins/really-simple-ssl/
