Thanks,

You actually posted after the auction end, but since TrustInTheProcess said it's okay for you to have the item, I guess it's okay  Cheesy

What does a destroyed bar look like for reference? I have never seen one and maybe this would help me understand. The public address should be easy enough, it's just sitting visible on most coins; my concern is the private key. Has there never been an instance of the private key being compromised without the slab being broken? Some crazy x-ray goggles, or careful replacement, something like that?

It looks like this Cheesy

And yes... the bar must be "destroyed" to reveal the private key.
I was asked recently if the screws can just be unscrewed, but Max takes measures to ensure this cannot be done.





CURRENT HIGH BID:
0.055BTC

The horror...haunted my dreams last night.  RIP my sweet sweet prince.

I would be buying this if I hadn't just blown .04 on a raffle towards a Kialara I didn't win. I have nightmares every night now. Spazzer is going to get a hell of a deal if nobody else jumps in on this. I have a big chunk of change in escrow right now, else I still might consider bidding on this; I don't want to take too long on payment though, if I bid and escrow takes a bit.

I'm really not in a hurry.
You can bid and take time with your payment.

I was thinking about placing a bid on this Kialara, but then I was looking and I thought to myself "Isn't this coin missing the little red tab?" I don't know very much about collectibles yet, but I thought there was supposed to be a little tab that indicates the private key has never been accessed or something to that affect. Please help me understand if I am wrong or if this has been removed. Might mean I place a bid if I am misunderstanding the situation.

  The red tab on the bottom says ‘Remove When Funded’ and is there to make it clear that there is no balance.

  I funded my Kialara last year prior to all forks with a balance of 0.1BTC.

  Max told me the idea behind this design is to make sure you HODL until you really need to have the BTC.

  After all it is designed for what it is intended to be, a Bitcoin wallet.  Wink

 

As someone already said, it's sort of romantic  Smiley

The Stone the masons rejected was the cornerstone.

So, then are Kialaras like humpty dumpty in that they can never be put back together again? That's very interesting. They can be funded, but never unfunded until they are broken and in a way that is romantically symbolic. As long as they can't or haven't been compromised within the design, this is a beautiful and creative way to make a coin that can't be tainted.

It's really hard to break something without doing damage to its surroundings and then replacing the broken part so it looks the same.
It isn't impossible though.

I've never heard of something like that happening o.o
Though, don't fund the bar.
Because you have to destroy it in order to obtain the funds within it.
Anyways, my edit is a pic from the Encyclopedia of physical bitcoins and crypto-currencies.

I thought the tabs were only on the originals?

I have no idea, that's why I'm asking. I don't know, but I didn't want to place a bid on something that's been all tampered with and I assumed that all had the tab. How do you get at the private key then? What would make it destroy the slab? Even if you wanted to PM me a link to some information that would be cool. I'm pretty illiterate about this kind of thing.

Does that mean that the coin is funded (doubt it), or do you fund them yourself? Just wanting to cover all of my bases.

I know it's a bad pic but I'm too lazy to take it again  Cheesy

As you can see, the only way to access the private key is to smash the glass or cut the metal.
The bar would be destroyed.

I can say for certain that there's no way the private key was looked at as the slab would be destroyed
