Fully funded, I'm anxious to see this all in production!
When can we expect to see progress?
Also, since Ethereum doesn't support BIP38, how would we be able to send you private key information without revealing the key?
Topic: Coin Armor - steel cryptocurrency wallet (Read 452 times)
Hi... just want to ask how the keys are put on the steel wallet. Is it printed on the surface of the metal card? Or is it actually etched out on the metal, making it permanent even if the black print fades, similar to an embossed credit card. Even if a credit card's color fades, the numbers are embossed and permanently raised.
The nice thing about your wallet is that, being metal, it is fire and waterproof and will survive termites and other pests which might find paper wallets delicious. Imagine finding half of your private key with, say, 100 BTC chewed off!

No printing! I engrave information with laser. I burn metal deeply (~0.1 mm - beleive me, it is deep) to form everything you see on the sruface. No chance to erase information on Coin Armor except you'll try to grind it

Scrappy, first of all - thanks.
You can pledge 3*40=120$ for 9 titanium coin armors and leave me a private message on Kickstarter. and I'll make a note to myself.

People don't need to beleive me. Just read this article https://bitcoinpaperwallet.com/bip38-password-encrypted-wallets/
I kicked in. Tried to double kick to get 6 and not an option ! LOLHint Hint Anna, I want at least 9 titanium.

Interesting, I never knew there was a private key for bitcoins that can be passphrase encrypted. Well if this is the case then this might be a safe way to create something like this since the private key will not only be the one needed to open the wallet. Though I guess a lot of people will still be skeptical to give out the private key though, but I do think this could be an alternative to Cryptosteel which was also a kickstarter project.
Thanks for support!
Interesting Idea. I just pledged for a set of 3 Titanium Coin Armors.
If it works out I will be buying more for the kids and clients.
Thank You and Good Luck with your new adventure.

Why wouldn't I just take some sort of stamp and stamp a piece of metal with my private key? Wouldn't this achieve the same results? Also, isn't this just another version of a steel wallet, which has already been done before? What's the difference with yours?
My proposition is more convinient,cheaper and better made
That's all.

Guys, why you neeed to hide BIP38 key? Or even trust me to destroy those keys?
You'll give me ONLY encrypted key and only you will know pass-phrase.
I propose to all backer on Kickstarter to use this site: https://walletgenerator.net and generate there BIP38 protected keys. And for sure don't tell me that pass phrase.
The only thing you need to trust me is that I'll make engravings on metal cards But that will be a really bad idea to bury a successful kickstarter account for extra several hundreds dollars.

But that will be a really bad idea to bury a successful kickstarter account for extra several hundreds dollars.I do understand that there is no need to hide or destroy the privkey but when it comes to my BIP38 keys i only keep the passphrase for them at one place - my mind. I don't want to forget it, lets say in 5 years- so i keep them short at 10-20 characters.
I just think, having a cover for the privkey would be extra security

The Stone the masons rejected was the cornerstone.
The wallet does seem good and is nothing new tbh
I have had such wallets before but never in steel
How safe are these to everyday friction in our wallet and card cases? How long till the BIP38 privkey printed on it starts to fade a little? Well, that can be dealt with
I would be interested in 2 of these but i want some addition to my card, something that would even hide my BIP38 privkey, why risk it by showing and give others a chance to bruteforce?
Do you have any innovative idea to hide the BIP38 privkey as well? i would love to see something innovative

They are laser engraved. Friction and day to day use wouldnt make a dent in it. If the steele is good quality this would last a very long time. Besides how often are you gonna take it out to use the QR code there are very few places that accept Bitcoin face to face
Well, given i will opt for a good vanitygen address, and how i am planning to use this to show and help people understand cryptocurrency. It would be more of a sample type of thing to show some security aspects so will be used alot but i understand the laser engraving
Still waiting for OP to tell about hiding BIP38 key
Agree, tremendous trust has to be placed on the cardmaker with regards to the BIPP32 Private key , how its generated and last but not least how it is handled and by whom.
How is this being worked on? Will the private keys be destroyed and no traces left when sold?

I got excited this morning when I looked and saw the project 100% funded, I can't wait to get these! I pledged for 3 titanium, now I have to decide which wallets they will be

Great idea best of luck with the campaign looks like you will hit your target soon
this looks really cool 
is it possible not to print the private key on the back and just print the bitcoin logo instead?
also how much is the shipping to the UK?
