Funded coins, especially 1BTC+, are too risky for my tastes. There is so many opportunities for someone to intentionally or unintentionally mess up when generating keys. A new maker would have to prove themselves over a long period that they have a secure system, in my opinion Casascius is the only maker who has meet this requirement. I'm sure others will over time.
Agreed!
Loading a unfunded will effect its value!
Funding a Kialara isn't recommended because if you ever need to withdraw, destroying that beauty wont be good
Would they be more valuable ? Maybe
yep thats true but will you then crack open the coin to get the privkeys and take out the two types of coins?
I dont see why its good! If you don't peel the holo and just think you have two coins and whenever you want , you can do it!
There's always a chance for one of them(BTU) to dissipate after people realize it sucks, so you will miss on the opportunity.
OR Maybe they stay split like ETH and ETC but no one knows.
Instead keep them on a written paper and redeem the keys when/if fork happens to find your two coins
