I don't have twitter or google plus, any way I could grab a freebie if I give you a review?

Regarding these 'checks', there may be legal definitions surrounding the term 'check' such as implying it uses a bank clearinghouse, and that the 'check' can be stopped, which of course bitcoin can't be stopped. Maybe call it a voucher instead?

Also, if the check is the same size shape and looks like a bank check, it will be going into a cash register and being processed like the other checks - so it might make it to the bank without being properly redeemed if it was just one in the big pile of checks.

And, maybe some 'instructions' for newbies on the back? Maybe a statement "DO NOT send to your bank" in small print somewhere on the check?

Imagine if this was ramped up to be a major solution, companies would want to automate the removal of the private key holograms and scan the qr codes all with a machine of some sort.

so it might make it to the bank without being properly redeemed if it was just one in the big pile of checks.

Kind of like the catalyst to what got Liberty Dollar (Bernard von Nothaus) shut down, ... when the bank got one as a deposit?

These are missing most every requirement of a cheque (or "check" in the U.S.).

 - Drawer (the person or entity who makes the cheque)
 - Payee (the recipient of the money)
 - Drawee (the bank or other financial institution where the cheque can be presented for payment)
 - Date

The check does have one of the fields:
 - Amount (the currency amount)

 - http://www.law.cornell.edu/ucc/3/article3.htm#Check

But it wouldn't hurt to be explicit - "not a bank check" or something like that.

Here's someone that created a fake check that had an ABA number (invalid) distributed to people with the intention, apparently, of deceiving the recipient into thinking it coiuld be redeemed for USDs.

Im not sure if it was the case or not, but I now have an SSL cert setup and working for anyone that was nervous about purchasing from my site for security reasons.

I am real, my checks are real, and my (so far) happy customers are real.

Just as reminder, email addresses on orders are only used in the event of a problem with your order where additional contact is needed.

I have ran into a bit of an issue where some of my transactions are not getting firstbits assigned to the addresses, this causes a problem.
Not sure how to combat this yet.

[Update: Seems like this has been resolved.]

Decided to make an ebay posting: http://www.ebay.com/itm/271185863718

Update: Ebay took the original down, and kind of apologized, but... http://www.ebay.com/itm/271187225118

[psjbeisler]

wondering if starting this as Kickstarter would be a good idea or not...

[psjbeisler]

If I decided to try crowd funding this I would only really be looking at a decent printer, and 1st batch of customer stickers i think. Decent stock paper is another story...
Still not sure if this project even has enough traction yet.

What about the bitcoin version of kickstarter? I forget the address...

A bit over due, but you can now add custom slogan / footer to the bottom of your checks to personalize them.

[Lgetty17]

Would you be willing to sell a single one as a sample, or give me one just to check it out before I buy more

[psjbeisler]

Good way to start off.

I have been getting asked "How do I import this into another wallet?" Assuming you dont use Mt.Gox or Blockchain.info or another wallet that allows you to import mini private keys, you can convert your mini key to Wallet Import Format using Casascius Bitcoin Address Utility.

A portable, zipped, executable this utility should do everything needed. (Also it works in Linux using Mono!)
