Conservatism/neutrality is good when designing money as that invokes feelings of trust and stability.
Hence as latin is old, it should be the "Vires in Numeris".
"Load"/"spend" sounds like coupon words so don't use them.
Yellow bill by spy is not as good as the others he did, it looks jumbled + the folding/crease issue. Yellow color itself is good though. Green and blue are likely the colors people associate with tranquility and reason the most though.
For disposable bills i think a low ink version of spys or an even a different simple version with same style is needed.
I also think it should be "Public key" instead of "address"... symmetry would require the first + it sounds more fancy.
All just my opinion of course, feel free to ignore it.
Vires in Numeris I have also always liked...

There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, which will follow the rules of the network no matter what miners do. Even if every miner decided to create 1000 bitcoins per block, full nodes would stick to the rules and reject those blocks.

This topic is blowing up today!
I know Mike is an early adopter but I am sure he is not a millionaire by any means.
Hey Mike. Is there a donation address that we can contribute to and watch the reward grow?

I think you guys are picturing the folding of the note the wrong way...
Must take some pictures to show you, I guess.
The green note is the one who has a problem when it's folded because you'll see the qr-code thru the back of the note. The orange one has no such problem.

Need to focus on the 3 way and the 2 way fold.

I'm still working on it, although I believe that bearer bonds may be illegal, so I'm working on some better terminology and features that would be safer to use. I'd like it to look like a real stock certificate, or something of value you can put in a safe, with the understanding that the document itself has no value, it is the information on it, which may be compromised.

Cool. Cause I am really looking forward to it! Do you need help with ideas?

The BTC logo looks re-rendered from scratch and is visibly different from the commonly seen one - consider snipping the original vector shapes from the PDF found here. https://bitcointalk.org/?topic=1756.0The BTC logo has a slanted stroke on the lower left side of the B which is not present in the note.

Companies claiming they got hacked and lost your coins sounds like fraud so perfect it could be called fashionable. I never believe them. If I ever experience the misfortune of a real intrusion, I declare I have been honest about the way I have managed the keys in Casascius Coins. I maintain no ability to recover or reproduce the keys, not even under limitless duress or total intrusion. Remember that trusting strangers with your coins without any recourse is, as a matter of principle, not a best practice. Don't keep coins online. Use paper or hardware wallets instead.

Yes, I understood. Was answering to unclemantis. Your request to change the BTC with the regular one used on the logo will be dealt with tomorrow, along with a new version.

That request should be made to the Armory developer. I would love to print these notes with pub and priv keys coming from one of Armory's deterministic wallets, preferably offline

I don't think so. Qr-codes are black pixels on a white background for a reason.
