I found airtight capsules exactly right for the Criptoe Guldencoin. You need to make the hole in the rubber a little bit bigger, but than you'll have an pretty show and protective case.

I want to order them, but maybe there are more peeps in the NLG community who want one.

It's €2,50 per capsule, I wish to ship them all to my address and from there distibute them further. In order to keep the price as low as possible, the more the marrier Smiley

Please PM me with quantity if interested!

Nice video, Meije + Fuse. Thanks.

I just made my first coin ready with private key. Smiley

@Furio: The wallet generator can be downloaded and then with offline computer you can safely generate the public and private key.

Veertje, heel erg bedankt, dat zat ik dus te zoeken. Hopelijk blijft de kwaliteit van de QR via de tool hetzelfde, kan ik eindelijk gaan knutselen Wink. Heb er speciaal een offline computer voor die simpelweg altijd uitstaat, behalve ff om wallets te generaten, OFFLINE Smiley

Nice video, Meije + Fuse. Thanks.

It was all Meije.  I can't claim any credit for that one.  He did a great job!

I would have sneezed and coughed the whole time through with this cold that I can't get over, so I am really thankful he was able to help me with this one. lol

I found the problem! I don't wanna use an online wallet generator, it's even safer to generate a new .dat file on a clean computer offline by starting the client and then exporting private keys and such.

Sadly the quality of the qrcode generated by the client is too low to resize it. When I resize the qrcode from the online wallet generator, it works. But I don't feel comfortable to generate an private address online, that means it's not COLD storage.

Still struggling Smiley
Have you tried to generate a new QR code online or with QR-code generating software with the exported wallet keys?

No not online, because I don't think that's fullproof. But I guess quality is to low then, you see the blurring wehen resizing.

Did you try the QRcodify website I posted earlier?  They let you create a 0.5" QR code.  Also, what program are you using to create the document when you're printing, and what kind of printer are you using?  You shouldn't really need to resize that far, so the quality shouldn't get too distorted.

Also, you could print the QR code for the wallet address, but not the private key.  That you could keep as the letters and numbers and just print it out and store it somewhere safe.

If the QR code method is the way to go, there are some tutorials here that I've seen at one point where people created paper wallets offline using the source code for the wallet generators.  I think they may even provide the QR code in the process.  Might be worth a search if that's what you really want to shoot for.

Where can I find the video guys?

Video can be found here:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FRfMifiyukw

I don't know Dutch, so I can't comment on what is said in the video, but the video goes through the whole process of creating the wallet, attaching it with the hologram, and checking the balance.  All in all it's exactly what I needed, so I've confirmed with Meije that the bounty is his.  Like a true gentleman, he has declined the bounty.  I told him I would put the 100k NLG towards the dev fund donation I was going to make, in his name.  I will be contacting the devs to let them know.


Last shipment update:

The coins that are still in transit, including the dev coins, that everyone has been waiting for cleared customs yesterday at 5:30pm, I believe local NL time.  They should be getting to LTEX in the next couple days.

Additionally, I will be shipping the remaining coins out sometime this week, en masse.  I have discussed it with LTEX, and we both agree it will be easier to distribute coins in a faster manner if we cut out the travel time from the US to NL.

I'll make a post when the package is shipped.

Thanks a lot, a bit long, because he explains also the basics on crypto and addresses and such, but a nice video, thx!!

Hi fuse,
I just made a video, a friend of mine is now editing it for me. In the video i have printed the QR code and placed it under the hologram sticker, afterwards i showed people how to access the address... when the video is finished, i will send it to you so that you can judge if it is good enough!.

Meije

My man!

If everything looks good, it's your choice on reward.  Funds can be sent tonight when I get home, or I can put coins in the mail with the next shipment, which will most likely the one big shipment to LTEX with the rest of the coins.  Just shoot me a PM with the video link when you're done, and let me know what you want as the bounty.

Have no video skills, but a good Dutch voice Wink, was wondering where Coin #85 is at. Should be arriving soon Smiley. I just can't seem to get the QR-code small enough to fit in the coin. Also the folding of the private key is a bit difficult, it gets thicker then the ingraving, so I have a little bump on my coin, so still strugling Smiley

The last shipment, including coin 085, should be making it to LTEX soon.  I have spoken with him, and I will be sending the remaining coins to him in one bulk package to save on the shipping time.  I originally didn't want to do this, but I'm thinking it's foolish not to now.  People want their coins!

As far as the paper wallet goes, I found a 12.7mm x 38.1mm piece of standard printer paper works perfectly for the indent when folded in thirds.  If you use a fingernail or similar to press the folds down to make them "sharper" it helps keep the thickness of the paper at a minimum.

With regards to the QR code, I used the web service http://www.qrcodify.com/ to generate the QR code.  They will let you select a 0.5" QR code size, and then download the file.  I  opened that file in Illustrator and added it to the paper wallet layout that I made.  Small scaling was required to get it to fit, but it worked fine when I scanned it with my phone.

As seen in Illustrator:

So I really want to apologize for my extreme procrastination on the hologram video.  I know I said I would get it done, but I've been swamped with life right now.  Between the baby, the whole family being sick now, the crypto project I'm currently running behind on, and numerous projects at work... I have just not been able to get to it.  I just can't find the time in the day.  In fact, I'm writing this as I'm in the middle of cooking dinner right now.

That being said, the one thing I have more than time right now is NLG.  So...

I am offering your choice of either 100,000NLG or 3 physical Criptoe Series 1 coins(consecutive numbers of my chosing) as a bounty for anyone that can make a short, decent looking DIY video for the whole coin loading process.

The video must contain the following 3 crucial pieces of information:

  • Creating the wallet key pair using either an online paper wallet creation program, or the a coin wallet, and printing the paper wallet.
  • Attaching the paper wallet to the physical coin using the hologram sticker.
  • Loading the wallet and checking it's balance.
  • Bonus: If you can do the video voice-over in Dutch and subtitle it in English, I'll include an added bounty.

If you're interested in doing this video, PM me and let me know how long it will take.  Obviously, the sooner the better.  It doesn't need to be an IMAX cinema experience, but please no shaky cell phone videos either.

Cheers,

Fuse

I just can't seem to manage to get the QR so small to fit, office, paint and others won't let me srink it enough Sad, anyone any tips?

I used Adobe Illustrator when I created the QR code wallets.  I was able to scale the image down without much loss of quality.

Would be nice to see a how-to video as Fuse suggested a few days ago. Also good for later buyers of the coin and info in the shop.

I know, mate... I've been slacking on this.  I'm sorry.  The whole family has been sick for the last few days, so I haven't had a chance to put aside some time to do it.  I'll try today, though.

-Fuse


Take your time, family first. No hurry for this. Great if you want to do this next couple of days or so.
