If I decided to try crowd funding this I would only really be looking at a decent printer, and 1st batch of customer stickers i think. Decent stock paper is another story...
Still not sure if this project even has enough traction yet.

Decided to make an ebay posting: http://www.ebay.com/itm/271185863718
Update: Ebay took the original down, and kind of apologized, but... http://www.ebay.com/itm/271187225118

I have ran into a bit of an issue where some of my transactions are not getting firstbits assigned to the addresses, this causes a problem.
Not sure how to combat this yet.
[Update: Seems like this has been resolved.]

Im not sure if it was the case or not, but I now have an SSL cert setup and working for anyone that was nervous about purchasing from my site for security reasons.
I am real, my checks are real, and my (so far) happy customers are real.

so it might make it to the bank without being properly redeemed if it was just one in the big pile of checks.
Kind of like the catalyst to what got Liberty Dollar (Bernard von Nothaus) shut down, ... when the bank got one as a deposit?
These are missing most every requirement of a cheque (or "check" in the U.S.).
- Drawer (the person or entity who makes the cheque)
- Payee (the recipient of the money)
- Drawee (the bank or other financial institution where the cheque can be presented for payment)
- Date
The check does have one of the fields:
- Amount (the currency amount)
- http://www.law.cornell.edu/ucc/3/article3.htm#Check
But it wouldn't hurt to be explicit - "not a bank check" or something like that.
Here's someone that created a fake check that had an ABA number (invalid) distributed to people with the intention, apparently, of deceiving the recipient into thinking it coiuld be redeemed for USDs.

Regarding these 'checks', there may be legal definitions surrounding the term 'check' such as implying it uses a bank clearinghouse, and that the 'check' can be stopped, which of course bitcoin can't be stopped. Maybe call it a voucher instead?
Also, if the check is the same size shape and looks like a bank check, it will be going into a cash register and being processed like the other checks - so it might make it to the bank without being properly redeemed if it was just one in the big pile of checks.
And, maybe some 'instructions' for newbies on the back? Maybe a statement "DO NOT send to your bank" in small print somewhere on the check?
Imagine if this was ramped up to be a major solution, companies would want to automate the removal of the private key holograms and scan the qr codes all with a machine of some sort.

I don't have twitter or google plus, any way I could grab a freebie if I give you a review?
I had to move and was down for a few days but I'm stable again
I didn't feel the additional scratch off was secure enough nor could I really justify the cost just for an additional sticker, so I changed the checks in an attempt to crush some of that. Currently the private keys are printed in a light grey color, but instead on a sticker I have a black bar with a watermark of sorts. Also while cutting materials, cutting the price to 75 cents seemed like a good idea too. =)
Sorry I was afk for so long, work has been crazy.
I did get a set of replacement checks and while I don't have any pictures I can say that simply putting an extra holographic sticker on the back absolutely solved the flashlight attack and I haven't found a way to break the new checks yet.

Here is a very nice review! Also, if there are any revision 1 checks still out there, I will replace them.

cheque was in the mail today. looks okay, but I probabyl wouldn't accept one for larger sums. the check itself seems still too easy to fake, the sticker can be bought by everyone, and I don't see the "artificial watermark" on the back. The only thing (besides the second sticker) that could be meant by it are some white letters on a grey background.
final verdict: would accept one for up to 20 fiat from a normal looking stranger.

1: people that know and somehow trust each other, but not enough that a handshake is considered enough.
2: strangers that want to exchange goods in person without having to hang around waiting for confirmations. This case has the problem that the check is imho only suitable for smallish sums and is relatively expensive at 0.25 btc. If the problem is the money, get an offer from a custom security sticker maker and crowdsource the costs. You can pay you creditors back with a bundle of checks and 10% rebate off all future offers.
