....

These notes would not be available with Key Pairs or being loaded.
More or less, these look or have the same function of a "promotional" note (like Monopoli) than classic "banknote".

woah !


The designs are so cool, very nice.
love the colors!

Thank you! Here the details of the "Dragon"

Why a Dragon ?
Bear or Bull? [Through code and cryptography / Bitcoin is the dragon of the digital age / Borderless, sovereign, unstoppable]

The first 4 prototypes of notes are ready!



These have been used for different types of tests including: bending - stretching - UV marking - watering - folding -- quality of the paper/final print - real use "in pocket".
The paper used to print these notes comes from Italy. It gas been handmade in circa 1818-1840-1850 at Amalfi - Cartiera Amatruda. All notes printed would have the same "structure" of the paper as image below.


Here are some details of the paper after the print. I have not yet accessed but I would share some 40x images of some notes.

...In 1840, paper was made almost entirely from recycled rags (old cotton/linen clothing, bedding, etc.)...

(grok)

Here there is the first sheet printed (both sides have the same image/color). The white note with the "bear" has been colored by hand.


The final note in the hand mantains completely the structure of cotton/linen. Literally indistructible.


I have made all tests and it could be definitively used as base. The surface is coarse but soft. Even if 190 years old these have a very PREMIUM quality, including exceptionally rare paper. A “pre-Bitcoin artifact” turned into modern crypto art.

As you may see (and this would be confirmed lately for each run/series) it could be possible that some notes have this kind of "defect" due the natural folding of the paper - holes of 1 mm that can be already present (anyway I couldn't discard a full sheet).


The same note has been used for "bending - stretching - UV marking - watering - folding".



It has been taken 3 minutes on the water.


The paper has become again at original status with no evident damage or any kind of lose of ink.

This is the actually note after all tests.








First note see before after all tests = included solvent (gasoline), heating up to 180 degrees for 5 minutes, repetitive folding...



Error print 1mbtc - 5mbtc

These notes, compared to what was initially announced would be loadable. The key maker would be a reputable user of our forum.

Pretty cool, thanks for sharing.  Do you have to use special ink for this special paper?

@estoneee
Thanks for the question.
These are the standard commercial inks. Enough strong to print on "tissue" and cannot dissolve in water

[bitbollo]

I’m sharing the results of a new experiment involving a pH 2 acid descaler applied to original 1840 cotton paper.


While I don’t expect this scenario to represent a real-world use case - [please don't try at home ] - completing a series of stress-tests (including exposure to 180°C oven conditions and full water immersion) adds another layer to ongoing resistance testing/knowledge for both inks and paper materials...

Below are some images from the final outcome of the test (image at 1x and 2.6 zoom)
