Been working on an idea for a little while, and I just published it... http://bitcoinfiresafe.com/
https://i.imgur.com/W3VkbTN.jpg?1
Basically, the idea is to make something much more secure against environmental damage than a paper wallet. I built some custom code and have made some prototypes, and at this point, I'm ready to offer some to the public. Given that Bitcoin Black Friday is kicking off, and we're launching at the same time, I'm offering it for a deep discount of 40% off the normal $50USD price.

If anyone has some suggestions or questions, please let me know!

Update! We created a stainless steel version! It's melting point makes it extremely robust.

The small size and pendant hole makes it easy to store or hide using a nail or screw.

SALE TIME
Feeling like you're not getting good bang for your Bitcoin right now? Mention "Bang25" in your order and we'll discount either model of Bitcoin Firesafe at 25% off! Good through April.

beautiful and wonderful idea!
Amazing!

We're a small business, so Tungsten Carbide is probably out of our grasp for the long term; the technology is too costly (for now). We have done some work with Titanium as part of another business venture, but there are a couple of complications:

Working at the very fine detail level is more costly and problematic, as drills and endmills are more prone to snapping
Sourcing Titanium in the small sizes, uniformly and reliably, is proving difficult.

We're not ruling out Titanium, but it doesn't have a greenlight as our next product yet.

Meanwhile, our stainless option is now available! It's melting point makes it extremely robust.

The small size and pendant hole means that it can also be securely stored, or hidden nearly anywhere using a nail or screw.

I just spent some time searching the internet for jewelers that sell small titanium dog tags with engraved QR codes. It's funny that I have gone full circle and coincidentally ended up back at the bitcoin forum.

I think the 1" stainless steel safe is a great idea and plan on making a purchase. I have one question though. Do you plan on or can you offer safes in any other materials like titanium or tungsten carbide?

Personally, a 1" titanium pendant with a titanium bail would be perfect. Maybe with encrypted private key on one side and plain QR code of bitcoin address on other

Well, even if the photo is shared, they would still need the password. Short ones are vulnerable. Long ones are probably secure, as long as it's not their dog's name, or anything in any book or the "crackable" type; meaning completely random.

Very good point. We have a couple warnings on the site to not share even a partial photo of a delivered Firesafe.

Did you test scan the engraved QR code, is it working?

Yes indeed. I get best results holding my cell phone about a foot away from the firesafe.

And, hey, you can use the leftovers for scrabble tiles if you put the scrabble point values on them.

There are some serious scrabble freaks out there who would pay good money for an etched metal set.

Neat! I had a similar idea but yours looks way cooler.

in the end it always comes down to the fact that if you give someone the private key to etch/engrave/print, it's not secure…. Hard to imagine a way around this before 3d printers take off.

No, there's a way around that. It doesn't not look nearly as cool, but I didn't have to buy a laser engraver or trust the dude who operated it.

That was very interesting, although admittedly a very COMPLICATED way around it. :-) But I like the idea of the user making it themselves.

What is the point of a QR code rather than an encrypted private key? Less likely for someone to memorize a QR code than a long private key?

The QR code IS the private key, just encoded in a visual format easy to parse by machines.
It's also an option to put the 64 hex digits into a slab of metal, but to use it you'd have to type them or use (less reliable) OCR.

I figured it was the key or an encrypted version of the key, but it seemed like typing them in would be less error prone than a camera trying to read the dots on steel. Maybe I'm wrong that it's entirely readable with a camera now.
