Topic: BALLET Physical Cryptocurrency Wallets - page 8. (Read 4664 times)

Thanks for sharing this release with us ahead of time along with every possible launch idea, very cool for this community! You all have covered every aspect of this wallet as it relates to Pizza Day so bravo!

Also, really awesome to see Ballet releasing special edition wallets for both major events this month. It’s always cool to have items to commemorate these events rather than just being giving promo codes to “celebrate” the event *cough* Ledger/Trezor *cough*

Keep up the great work Bobby and Ballet!

Hi all,

I'm excited to use this forum to pre-announce our newest product: The REAL Pizza wallet.

This wallet serves both to commemorate the 10th anniversary of Bitcoin Pizza Day, and also to function as the much-anticipated "Stealth wallet" to allow people to discreetly carry a physical cryptocurrency wallet, without drawing any unnecessary attention.



On May 22, 2010, an early Bitcoin user from Florida named Laszlo Hanyecz agreed to pay a fellow BitcoinTalk forum member 10,000 BTC in exchange for two Papa John’s pizzas. Bitcoin historians have identified this as the first real-world economic transaction using Bitcoin. At the time, 10,000 BTC was only worth approximately $25, but today it would be worth tens of millions of dollars. It was definitely the most expensive pizza, perhaps the most expensive meal, in history.

Here is the original link to the thread here on BitconTalk:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/pizza-for-bitcoins-137



May 22 has come to be celebrated in the cryptocurrency community as “Bitcoin Pizza Day.” To commemorate the 10th anniversary of Laszlo’s 10,000 BTC pizza purchase, we have created a special edition of our popular REAL Series wallet, called REAL Pizza. The inspiration for this special edition comes from our desire to live in a world where enjoying Bitcoin is as common as eating pizza, and all Ballet wallets are designed to help make that world a reality.



The REAL Pizza wallet has a pizza logo and a native Segwit bech32 address, but is otherwise functionally the same as the standard REAL Series wallets. Please note that we have purposely removed all references to Bitcoin and cryptocurrency from this physical wallet, so that it cannot be identified as a cold storage device or related to cryptocurrency in any way. In essence, the REAL Pizza serves as a “stealth” wallet, where casual observers will not be able to easily recognize it as related to Bitcoin or cryptocurrency. It will not draw unwanted attention from curious eyes. Just like Laszlo’s original purchase of two pizzas, the REAL Pizza is always sold in sets of two wallets.



Features

• Non-proprietary, Two-factor private keys (BIP38)
  
• Open-source, two-factor key generation (2FKG) process
  
• Tamper-evident holographic sticker and scratch-off strip
  
• Bearer asset, suitable for gifting and private, off-chain transactions
  
• Non-electronic, no risk of electronic hacking and hardware failure
  
• Bitcoin primary account, native Segwit bech32 address (“bc1” prefix)
  
• Multicurrency support, over 50 top coins and all ERC20 tokens
  
• Stealth function: physical wallet has no references to Bitcoin or cryptocurrency

As we have received good constructive feedback from all of you for our past product introductions, here is how we plan to launch the REAL Pizza wallets, and the sequence of events:

1) Pre-announce the product here on BitcoinTalk forum, and show you all what the REAL Pizza is all about. (This post here is the pre-announcement.)

2) We plan to auction off the first 21 sets of lowest serial numbers (AA030xxx) on this Collectibles forum. Each auction lot will be for a set of 2 wallets. We have asked minerjones to help run the auction, so please stay tuned for his auction post. All auction details will be there.

3) Public pre-sales will be done via a short KickStarter campaign, which we hope to launch very soon. This KickStarter campaign will allow the general public to place pre-orders, and then we will ship out these orders on Bitcoin Pizza Day, May 22. I'll post the KickStarter campaign link here in this thread as soon as that's up.

4) Full product introduction and announcement by Ballet on Bitcoin Pizza Day, May 22. That's when the product will get listed on our company web store, with shipping to follow. Please note: due to very limited quantity in the initial batch, there's a chance that orders placed after May 22 could be back-ordered, with delayed shipment.

Now tell us how you like the REAL Pizza!  

thanks,
Bobby

mine arrived today - looks great and came pre-loaded with .01 btc as they claimed. (no signature on mine) There is only one flaw, it has a scratch on the back side - not very large but very visible, there are other lighter ones but they are not as visible - you cannot see them in the pictures either - I would probably have to open it and remove it to take a picture where you could see the other ones, that is how light they are.

Edit: On closer inspection...

anonymousminer - I think you work for Ballet?

It looks like from buckroger's pictures that only some of them are signed by Bobby Lee?

Is it just luck of the draw?

Thanks!

Edit: Must have misread something.

you forget to add that the thread had an invalid link in the op - in fact that the thread in question was a complete mess up as they created a whole second site on a second domain with a different price to boot - i simply pointed to the actual site - and i was pointing out that simply there are still gold ones left - anyone reading the details on the site would see that they are not the same. you were taking care of no one - you were being a douche bag.

the edits were simply to avoid adding other posts - I am not saving face. I posted about gold cards still available - never claimed they were the halving versions, yes, I offered the link in my signature (because the one in the OP was INVALID and did not point to their official site in any way!) and yes I offered a discount code - I was not bending his arm to use either. Relax. I also edited the post to clarify that.

My point is you could have simply pointed out that I was missing the fact that they were not halving editions - you did not need to start name calling and threatening.

the only thing I did not do was specify that it was not the halving one - but I also did not claim it was. I did edit the post to say that.

if you want to take care of people - there is a right way and a wrong way and your way is wrong. I am not worried about my post count sheesh. People like you do not belong in society - you are a bully.

edit: see below for someone truly just going for the +1 to post count...

You forget to add that you were directly posting a reply to a Newbie in a thread titled "Bitcoin Halving Special Edition Wallet". What item did you think he was asking about? We take care of our Newbies around here. You're walking on thin ice. Let's see if you can get up to edit 4, 5, or 6 in the other thread trying to save face.
If you don't know something for sure.. save your +1 post count and let someone who does know what they're talking about answer. I know with affiliate codes in play the early bird gets the worm though right so that'll never happen with you.

at least you were nice about it - I pointed out the gold ones on another thread and I was called a shilling deceptive piece of shit and threatened with negative trust. nowhere did I even say it was the halving one - simply that there are gold wallets for sale and even provided a coupon code that would save the guy 5% off if he wanted to get one of those. when the other dude went off on me - I did edit my post to specify that they are simply gold ones and not the halving edition (though I never said it was)

my point is there is a proper way to let me know they missed some details or in clarifying a post. I thank you for being one of those types vs the other.

I'm just making sure they get the proper information.  No worries, I'm certain it was an honest mistake.  Be well and stay safe out there.

oops, i didn't know that - sorry for that AM
have edited my last post a little bit

This is incorrect. 

The one you seek was special for the halving and no longer available.  You will have to find one on the secondary market.  Good luck. 

you can buy the beautiful wallets here in the official store:
https://store.balletcrypto.com/collections/ballet/products/24k-gold-plated-real-bitcoin

Where can I buy this one?

Thanks, sadly they are not all mine. Some are for a couple of newcomers who were interested in onboarding into crypto and wanted something new and cool.   Only a few of mine are signed - they will match well with other nice BTCC/Ballet items from over the years. - not sure about anyone else.

Thanks!

Awesome collection you have there sir mine have not arrived yet are they all signed or just yours ?

They are quite nice!
I think you'll be very happy with yours 

those look great! thanks for sharing buckrogers!

Mine should arrive Monday - I only bought one but after seeing your pics, makes me wish I had bought more so I could also be "stackin sats" lol

Hi Bobby,

I received my "REAL Bitcoin - Block Halving Special Edition (24K Gold-Plated)" wallets the other day, and they look amazing!

Here are a few pics:









"Stackin Sats"   


Thanks!

ahh ok - so legit just with a higher price? well glad I went thru the other site and used your discount code

any reason why the same op made a separate post with a different link and a different price here? https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/sale-ballet-crypto-bitcoin-halving-special-edition-wallets-w-free-001-btc-5245179
