i know with the gi you make two payments - correct? one for the coin and one to the escrow address to load the coin upon arrival. correct me if wrong.
if that is the case the chi coins could be paid to the first address as well. Should be simple.
Looking back at my wallet history, it appears both the Chi & Gi are both a single payment each during checkout. Both checkout processes give you two different kits for the coins. A load kit for the Chi and a redeem kit for the Gi.
During checkout with the Chi coins, you generate the 2nd private key for an escrow 2-of-2 multisig wallet, where funds are held unit coins are delivered for loading, Satori having the 1st private key. Satori will not sign their portion of the multisig for a new transfer of funds to the coins until the shipper (DHL) has confirmed a successful signature delivery.
During checkout with the Gi coins, you generate the 2nd private key of the 2-of-2 private keys for the coin, other key being physically under the the hologram on the coin. During payment, funds are sent to a proxy wallet, where Satori notes funds may get stuck if you sent an incorrect amount or if there's congestion on the BTC network, the private key for this wallet is given on the redeem kit in case you have to pull funds back off it and try again. Otherwise, once you receive the coin and DHL confirms delivery, you can load funds onto the coin from the proxy wallet.
*Note - All loading of funds onto each coin type is done via Satori's website using a simply copy/paste script provided on each kit for the coins. A completely a painless/no tech knowledge needed process.
*Satori also notes that they delete their copy of the private key inside your Satori Coin Chi coins within 72 hours of DHL confirming delivery and they also delete their remaining copy of the private key printed inside your Satori Coin Gi within 7 days of DHL signature confirmed delivery. Thus if you lose the Gi redeem kit/file, funds are forever lost.
In regards to shipping into the US, DHL did charge 10% import fee on declared value (which doesn't include the BTC load values) and also a duty tax processing fee of $17.50 plus a regulatory charge of $1.34 per shipment. So you're forced pay those two fees twice, since Gi and Chi has to be shipped separately being 2 different orders. And even with free shipping, Satori prompts you to buy shipping insurance, was ~$14 on a single Gi coin and ~$25 on 2 silver Chi / 5 Brass Chi coins. Can always opt out of that though, these numbers are all from back in April of 2026.
