It sounds alot like the english word "Kiosks".
Is it that?
Let me know if I am the winner of this one.
They have shipped out already? Wow that is fast.

Hi there,

I am afraid that is not the answer, do try again.

They are custom made, so every time someone orders one they are created and sent out.

Incidentally, you may enjoy this old comic: https://hyperboleandahalf.blogspot.com/2010/04/alot-is-better-than-you-at-everything.html

Let me know if you want one, they are awfully sleek (and I still have like 30 of the first editions).

I think it as something to do with kingdom hearts. I would love if it would be possible for us to insert our own private key. People have said this before. But It cant be that hard to ship these disassembled with a blank ring

Normally I use encrypted keys supplied by the buyer, what do you mean exactly?

I am able to send the unassembled item if you really want it. But to make it look like the normal ones you'll need to laser engraving the rings, do the threadlocking, epoxying, and drilling the screw heads out.

It's a very customizable thing, I can work with you to get something you'll like for this 1st edition.

A few people have expressed desire for a serial number, so if we sell some more of these 1st editions maybe we can get a serial number engraved on the inside of the center ring for all fifty of the second edition.

Ah. I really missed that. But if I gave you an encrypted key I couldn't just pass this on. Man I really want one of these.

Would it be possible to somehow have a cool way to attach a piece of paper to it to hold the password on kg

Alas it's made to be a cold hard storage unit and not a collectable. But I want the end user to trust it, and not have to trust me; I have some trust problems with normal physical coins.

I suppose you can always share it with a trusted loved one, but less so to sell to strangers on the internet. I've made a few where I generate the key pair and a decryption key that I embed in a piece of 'art'. Then the user doesn't have to generate the key pair, and they don't know the SK, and the decryption key is also in a tamper-resistant piece of 'art'.

In fact there are 3 of these pre-generated capsules left if you really wanted one, two in red and one with the sapphire blue corundum centerpiece. But then you're trusting me.

keyois is Chinese for "May be"

Hi there, afraid this isn't the answer either.

Keep guessing though!

Clue! Clue! Clue! Clue!

I posted another clue:

but I still don't think anyone is going to get it.

There are phonetics involved.
The english word 'key' is not involved.

Agreed. How about this? Is it an acronym? Is it geographical in nature? You already told us that "key" had nothing to do with private keys, but that's not much help.

So, in far less time than promised, I arrived to a nice surprise in my mailbox today. I was told it would be a month to receive mine, and today was about 2 weeks from when I ordered.

I opened the box to see a cement type block, which I gathered contained my Keyois capsule. I was slightly worried about damaging it, so tried to look for other ways to open it, but I gave in and wound up beating at it with a hammer. I wasn't sure what to expect, but sure enough, inside was my Keyois capsule in perfect condition.

I was a bit hesitant about ordering this at first, because they did not have individual serial numbers, and the seller was somewhat of a newer member. I figured for $99, it was more than worth a shot.

I am SUPER happy with my product. It's trustless, as I generated encrypted keys for the seller. It's gorgeous and unique, there aren't too many products that look this nice. Also, it has passed all the tests thrown at it by the creator, and has proven to be a viable long term BTC storage solution.

It is WELL worth the $99 price tag, considering the insane amount of work that went in to creating something of this caliber. I would buy again, and OP, please contact me for any products you make in the future. Thanks!

Can you tell the story of you asking to x-ray the container that glows... Was it a doctor , dentist. Vet. Office,. How much was the Copay to have it done.

I can tell you all about it, however it's pretty banal.

As I had said, long ago reading about the Casascius coins I saw a comment by someone wondering the an x-ray would reveal the secret key behind his holographic sticker. Well since my BitCapsule has the secret key engraved on a titanium ring I figured that perhaps the x-ray would break the 'tamper-evident' feature of the capsule.

So how to go about getting a radiograph of my inanimate object? Well I have seen x-rays of flowers and other art before, so I knew some artists had to have access to the equipment. Like most things I've done related to Bitcoin, I started by sending a bunch of emails to anyone I thought might be able to help me. I didn't get many responses and the few I did get were not encouraging, but a few weeks later I got an email from one of the artists who said they could help me for a fee of about $150 US.

That's the story, not too exciting but I was able to obtain a radiograph of my capsule and that satisfies me, with a double bonus of not being able to read the secret even with the x-ray.

tl;dr got an artist to do it for under $200

All of these pictures and stories are making me jealous. I can't wait to have mine!

This project is absolutely amazing!
I love how dedicated you are and the extent to which you are trying to ensure that this product is really a long term storage solution.
Thanks and good luck!

Edit: Just seen the price in the OP. Definitely a reasonable price considering all the work and effort that has gone into making this.

Thanks!

Yeah at $100 it's way more expensive than most people (like me) would want, but that's pretty close to what it costs to make it & ship, not including my time or any R&D. But when you think about it, it could double as a short range projectile if you threw it really hard at someone (or used a sling!) so in essence you're buying not just the piggybank but a self defense weapon too (provided you can get the object back afterwards).

So really it's like a win-win-win, which is best for everyone.

And here is a video of being crushed by the tractor. It's pretty shitty and I think I might try to make a better shot video later.
