I have a similar project, the wallets generated at the moment are not so pretty as Piper's, it's fully open source as piper, uses a standard USB thermal printer and an old linux box or a Raspberry PI. Here's the project's website: http://paperbank.it

I setup up a how-to to add some new Doge options here , Git here. This my first raspi attempt. Results seem so far so good. You can swap out the by simply changing the background image in the home/pi/Printer/Images folder.

Cool! I did the same thing with mine, only I removed the serial number, URL, and extra private key from the bottom.

This is a brilliant idea, but it is pretty expensive tho.

I got mine a couple months ago and love it. Does anyone have a how-to for adding more coins?

I ordered it a week ago together with an additional roll of paper.
Let's look how time it takes to be delivered to me in Italy...

Did you get a shipping confirmation email? I didn't... :<

I think the OP is too busy promoting, and not a scammer. I heard he was at the latest Bitcoin meetup showing off this printer so I doubt he's going to taint his rep over 6 rolls of paper.

I don't care so much about the money as much as I care that these are apparently custom rolls that I'll probably have a hard time ordering elsewhere.. and I'm down to my last one.

Still nothing for my order..... Anyone get a unit lately??

I ordered 6 rolls of paper a while ago and haven't received them yet.

I ordered a printer last year and that came with no problems.

Well, don't count on it.

I've ordered mine 2 weeks ago, got an order confirmation and after that, total silence.
They don't reply on emails, ignore DM on Twitter, etc.

Too bad I live in The Netherlands, no way to pay them a visit..

So in my case Piperwallet is a complete scam and I simply lost 0.2664 BTC..

[edit]
awkward.. within an hour after posting this message I got a shipping confirmation.
I will let you guys know if I really receive the device.
[/edit]

When did they say they were aiming for dispatch?

Well, the shipping confirmation is probably fake as well, a week later, it still says 'PRE-SHIPMENT' on the USPS website.
The piperwallet.com website still states that the device ships within 7 days after ordering.

So people, don't buy the Piperwallet as it seems to be a complete scam.

I really think this is cool, but I think that it's just a bit too pricey for something I can do at home with my own printer. I don't really print paper wallets that often, but if I wanted to print a lot, I would use this but I only have a few that needed to be printed once for cold storage. I still think it's an incredible piece of hardware, but it's just too expensive dor how much I would use it. If you would use this regularly, I could totally understand but most of the people I try to get into bitcoins either don't care, don't understand or don't have the technical knowledge to use anything but their blockchain wallet.

Ordered one for use, EVEN cooler if it could SMS me the wallet key when I print lol. Than it could be loaded remotely. for businesses looking to sell etc.

How are there no posts on this? This product just seems epic!

Not as epic as your new title:

I ended up buying two of the units and they are pretty epic

How is the paper? I would be all for this but thermal paper :/

Does look a pretty cool device and fairly cheap, but the pledge goal of $1,000 seems quite low. Did they state what they needed that money for?

and a personal email;

Hi,

Your order has shipped today. Please accept our apologies for the late shipment. We are behind on all orders by a few days due to an unexpected influx of orders.

Thanks!
