[PRE-ANN] The Reliquary: Hand-Cast Silver Loaded BTC Wallet

[Kannibal Hektor]

Hello everyone,

My name is Kannibal Hektor. I’m a California based artist creating original precious metal work under the Kannibal Hektor name since 2012, primarily in .999 fine silver, with a focus on limited run art bars, bullion, jewelry, and relic inspired objects that feel closer to artifacts than ordinary silver.

I’m new to the forum, and after checking with a moderator, I was advised that the Collectibles section would be the appropriate place to make a pre-announcement for this project.

My upcoming release is called The Reliquary.

The Reliquary is the inaugural release in my Relics of Custody series. It is a hand cast, hand finished 2 Troy oz .999 fine silver piece designed in a Gothic reliquary style. Each piece will be built as a fully funded Bitcoin wallet through Caribbean Treasures, whose loaded wallet builds are already known in the collector space. Each Reliquary will also be stamped with the Caribbean Treasures maker’s mark, tying the wallet build directly to the physical piece.

Total mintage will be 21 pieces. Each piece will be funded with 250,000 sats.

This project was created to sit at the intersection of silver art, physical Bitcoin, and numismatic-style collecting.

I know trust is important here, especially with loaded wallets and physical Bitcoin pieces. Since I’m new to the forum, I plan to be transparent about the project, the funding, the serials, the wallet build, and the sale process. I am also open to using whatever trusted forum practices are appropriate, including escrow, public verification, and clear documentation.

This is not a sales thread yet. I wanted to introduce myself, share the project, and begin building a reputation properly within the community before posting sale details.

For anyone who wants to see examples of my past work, I have some previous pieces posted under Kannibal Hektor on Instagram, Facebook, and my website.

I’ll post photos, specifications, wallet details, and sale information once everything is ready.

Thank you for having me here. I’m looking forward to learning from the community and hopefully contributing something unique to the physical Bitcoin collecting space.

Welcome to the forum, excited to see what you are making. The stuff on your website and Insta looks dope!

Welcome to the forum, @Kannibal. Good choice in partnering with someone that has previously-built positive trust. I'm sure, as a result, people here will be more enticed to procure your super cool work. Good luck.

Your stuff looks very neat.
It feels like treasure one would find at the bottom of the ocean from long ago.
I must have one

Love your work…. Was all in until your I read your keys are being generated by the forum’s equivalent of a “used car salesman”… no offense to any used car salesmen out there… you’re much better than carribean trash

Interested in how the keys will be applied - by CT directly? Or shipped to you for you to apply?

Either way I hope you offer a DIY version

Keys are built and applied by CT directly. He is also stamping each bar with his makers mark when building and applying the keys.

I appreciate the kind words about my work.

I also understand the concern around key generation. With any loaded physical Bitcoin piece, the wallet build and trust model are obviously a major part of the equation, and I do not expect anyone to rely on artwork alone.

I’m working with Caribbean Treasures because of his existing history with loaded wallet builds, but I also understand that every collector has their own comfort level. Before any sale takes place, I plan to be transparent about the build process, funding, verification, serials, and any escrow or forum-standard practices that help buyers feel comfortable.

If there are specific concerns or best practices you think I should address before release, I’m open to hearing them. I’m new here and want to handle this the right way.
