SHINY GEM — RC PARODY NOTE
Ultra-Limited Upcycled Edition of 21 (Target Mintage)
"Team RC vs. Privacy • Strike Two"
What is this project?Following the recent V1 private-key/hologram debacle on the RarityCheck "Gem" Bitcoin Standard collectible note, where buyers had to reorder just to get a properly secured note. I'm turning the compromised V1 notes into a tongue-in-cheek collector's piece: an
Ultra-Limited Parody Edition of 21 (serials
01/21 through
21/21).
Why make a parody note? (And why RC?)To be crystal clear: I would
never do this to a new maker or an indie artist still learning the ropes. Mistakes happen when you're starting out.
However, RarityCheck / RC Mint has been making physical crypto collectibles since
2021 (~5 years) and already has a documented history of compromised runs (remember the
VIBGYOR Orange Compromised series?). Making a fundamental private-key/hologram mistake a
second time on a ~$60 collectible note, forcing collectors to reorder to get what they paid for, earned a friendly roast and a public engineering challenge.
A Public Challenge to RC Mint:Consider this an open, friendly challenge to RarityCheck:
redeem yourselves by building a note more secure than this parody edition. I'm keeping the exact security stack under wraps until launch so RC has to figure it out on their own, but let's just say where V1 failed on basic physics and adhesives, the
Shiny Gem Parody Note is getting a serious multi-layered upgrade:
- Next-Gen Cryptographic Tap Verification: No static, easily cloned URLs here. Each note will feature dynamic, cryptographic authentication that proves physical authenticity on every scan.
- Actual Polymer-Grade Bonding & Tamper Evidence: Engineered specifically so the seal bonds permanently to slick BOPP polymer and destroys itself before ever letting go.
- Upgraded Waterproof Key Enclosure: Freshly generated private keys housed inside a sealed, weatherproof synthetic core.
- Custom Parody Holo & UV Security Layer: Topped with our custom 25mm "Gem Grade Glue • Oversized Holo • Team RC vs. Privacy • Strike Two" holographic label plus a hidden UV-reactive mark.
🚨 BOUNTY: * Wanted * Your Compromised V1 Notes ($12 Each!)Right now, I only have
6 of the 21 host notes confirmed (including the two collectors who already agreed to sell theirs—thank you!).
Instead of letting your compromised V1 notes sit in a drawer, sell or donate them to the upcycled 21 note run:
- Cash / BTC Bounty: I will buy your clean V1 compromised note for $12 each (paid in BTC or USD) + cover standard shipping.
- Donation / Trade Credit: Donate a V1 note toward the mintage and get priority dibs / a $12 credit toward one of the finished 01/21 – 21/21 Shiny Gem Parody Notes.
Pre-Pre-Sale Interest List (No Payment Taken Yet!)I am
not collecting any pre-order funds until all host notes are in hand, assembled, and stress-tested. Reply below or PM me with:
1. Whether you have V1 notes to sell/donate (and how many)
2. Whether you want to be pinged when the final
Edition of 21 drops!
