Topic: How do you redeem the bitcoin from a casacius coin? (Read 290 times)
I appreciate all the comments. It's a lot to think about. I am leaning towards auctioning it funded. But that isn't simple. I assume I need an escrow and then after receiving agreed payment, escrow transfers the safe deposit box into the buyer's name. Then the buyer is responsible for delivery. If not local, then what? Anyone here done a transaction worth >1 BTC in the last few months?
There are couriers that can do this for you.
An in-person meeting is always an option also....someplace like a police station

I don't like using any hot wallet to sweep anything above $1000 in btc...so once you get your BTC off safely and it's confirmed at your receiving end ..then use other s such as coinomi or ballet for the shit coins

At this point no one should ever peel a Casacius ever again. Sell funded
The value of Casascius Coins has gotten to the point where I wouldn't even want to carry them out of a bank. I've been wanting to sell a 0.5 Casascius coin for a while now but it feels crazy to even have that amount in your possession on a physical coin. So crazy when you think that the original ones were given away by the thousands. I wonder how many of those bad boys are buried under some dirt at various festival locations around the country... Back to your comment, HOW would you sell a funded Casascius coin?
As for the thread topic, Electrum. Free, fast, and simple.
Anyone want to go on a road-trip and get the medal detectors out?

This discussion has been had many times over. There are good arguments on both sides.
If you have a funded 25btc or even a funded 100 btc bar you won't get much of a premium. If you want access to 100 btc it can be as easy as redeeming the bar. Is getting 1-5% over spot worth the possible risk? That's the risk people weigh and some feel it's not worth the Hassle.

The core wallet should work just as well
- edit - really any wallet capable of importing a private key would work - just make sure you use a non-custodial service.

Personally, I’ve never done it , but good luck

I use Ballet’s ‘Sweep’ function. If you don’t have one already, they are very inexpensive.
Coinomi Wallet app also works, but I trust Ballet more due to the hardware wallet association. I’ve used both with success.

I see many users in this forum trading loaded and redeemed casacius coins. Can someone who has recently redeemed a coin share information about how to do it? Is Armory the only client that can take codes found on the coin and locate and load the associated BTC from the blockchain into my wallet? Thank you for advice.
