Naypalm,

I have 1 BTC on a physical Casascius entacted. I look on your site and it shows active but when I go to blockchain.info it's invalid. Is it still a valid BTC?

Is your coin a newly minted coin? Please send me your coins address and I investigate further.

bought it in 2013. 133xyZkA

according to https://casascius.com/fulllist.txt from Mike, this coin has address 133xyZkAP69db3kMXqNTGQ4q2Km36mGbFS, which is still funded with 1 BTC

maybe noteworthy: https://casascius.wordpress.com/2013/07/18/firstbits-are-not-whats-printed-on-the-coin/

Thanks Molecular, I figured that was what was going on. Firstbits seemed to work well back then, but as more addresses were generated, then firtbits became unreliable.

This is another good example to other physical cryptocoin creators to why having a public list of addresses is useful. Especially if they only put part of the address on their coin.
