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... |

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. |
