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.
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
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.
[mod note: merged consecutive posts]My suggestion would be to make a DIY version or you may lose out on a lot of sales from long-term members who for good reason have serious trust issues with new makers and keys, just my two cents.
There are a lot of coins out there with a lot of random keys floating around, but a DIY version prevents all that nonsense, and if you're selling your coin for the beautifulness of the coin, then I suggest you offer that as an option.
Otherwise you can count me out for sure, and I'm sure many others would also feel the same way.
Especially if you're just starting out and you actually have some nice coins and designs. It would be a shame to get caught up in something silly like that with miss-handled and mismanaged keys, and having your brand associated with that stain.
There are a few very good and knowledgeable long-term members in good standing who have well over a decade of experience doing exactly this, if you're gonna go with the key route, and not a DIY.
I would highly suggest reaching out to Mopar or Minerjones or some of the OG's in here (not myself, I have no interest in taking on that huge and very serious responsibility), but that's my suggestion for you if you're looking for suggestions.
I look forward to seeing what you have to bring to the table. Good luck with all your sales! 😎🤘
Thanks!
