Are these pre-printed with a generic Wallet Address and or pre-loaded with funds, or would the purchaser have to print and or load with funds themselves?
What would stop someone loading up a 1/10th BTC wallet address with more than the amount stated?
Also, how unique are the tamper-proof stickers? Why I ask someone could purchase their own tamper-proof stickers and reapply over the secret key part of the note.
Hi!
So basically this first series is being sold as a 'concept'. That is to say that we ship them without Bitcoin and you are free to upload BTC at home at your own risk. This is due to advice from the Bitcoin community.
Furthermore, we do not recommend that you accept or attempt to trade these notes. This version is meant to be a cool gift to friends or family, not a currency just yet.
We hope to fix that in later versions when we can offer a secure document.
We should never be able to access your Bitcoin. The only way we would offer them preloaded is if we work with a reputable security documents firm.
As for as the tamper evident sticker goes, we tried our best to reduce the chance of people replicating them by printing a custom serial that corresponds to the note on every sticker.
But as we can't guarantee that someone will not be able to eventually replicate them, we simply made this series a cold storage concept.
I am already in talks with real banknote and security design firms that could offer us custom tamper evident stickers.
