For the last time these are not laser engraved. They are laser etched. Laser etching is a superficial process and not anywhere near as durable as engraving. Save your money for REAL engravings.

It is done with a laser engraver. Unless you have a source that can actually engrave on metal at the prices he is selling it at please share. Other then that he is selling a product that is supporting bitcoin structure. Why would you try and hurt a merchant that has a good idea by telling people to save money. Is that how a recession is started by people not wanting to spend money? Great idea for the cards.

You don't have a clue about lasers. And my point stands these are being labeled as laser engraved, which they are not. They are laser etched which is a superficial surface only marking. I'm not supporting the community by telling the truth about a product marketed as something it's not? I'm sorry for telling the bitcoin community this isn't the durable engraved product they think they're getting.

Sorry you feel this way. During out testing period we talked to roughly 20 different suppliers, and they all offered us many different forms of marking/printing. Every supplier referred to the method used to create these cards as laser engraving. We were also offered laser etching, which resulted in a rough, sand like finish. Needless to say, we chose to use method that industry professionals referred to as "laser engraving". So either they're all in on some sort of conspiracy, or thats just what the process is called.

Stay tuned for our durability videos. I may have a diamond engraved card made for a comparison test, and maybe that will put this all to rest!

Cheers
