Max,
Can you provide perhaps a video of how one might redeem their kialara?
Given there is metal and glass I suspect there might be a possibility of getting yourself cut if the person doing it isn't properly prepared.
Safety first.
BTW I received my Kialara's and I am very impressed with them.
Leaving feedback now.
Aloha,
Smoothie
Edit: Sorry if you already answered this or provided info on this already.
Since it's only 0.1 btc, I would find it a waste to open the kialara. But it will come in handy for some people
They can be loaded with any amount technically.
But even with 0.1 BTC...should it ever be worth $10,000 I may be inclined to crack it open or try to sell it.
Educating the buyer of your coins would help them. Assuming I sold one.
Hey Smoothie, thanks. Glad to hear they arrived. I'm going to try and have your 'original, hand-carved' art piece framed in a week or two - I'll share the pictures here when it's finished.
Regarding opening a Kialara. First, these are not designed to ever be opened. The keys inside should be considered as a medium in the piece, and I do not recommend that anyone attempts to open one of these.
If anyone wishes to go against my recommendation and destroy the art to access the private key inside, they need to do so at their own risk. Do not use power tools like drills, etc. It is my opinion that the safest way to access the key is with a hammer and a screwdriver. Safety glasses should be worn, and gloves would help as well.
At your request I've opened a Kialara and documented my method. I was able to do this safely in under a minute.
Once opened, carefully cut around the public key with an x-acto knife, then peel back to reveal private key.
