Re: Laser Engraved Bitcoin/Litecoin Cards (Public ID and BIP38 encrypted cards)
Hello everyone,
So recently it has been brought to our attention that someone has decided they loved our stuff so much that they have decide they to open up shop and use the same name. What better way to compete than to confuse the hell out of the consumer?
On January 9th, 4 days after our most popular reddit post, cryptocards.co appeared. They registered their domains, business license, and well they were at it, applied for a trade mark for the name. All on or after January 9th. In order to avoid embarrassment when everyone questioned if the two brands were related, they back dated a couple blog posts as proof they have been around for a while.

Thanks for clarification. I ordered a card today based on your tip from http://cryptocards.co/ to compare with your product.
To note: CryptoCards offers slightly better color selection (6 vs 4) of options than Crypto-Cards (this OP) at this time. They also have videos explaining BIP38 generation (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KmtL5K3ffQUBIP38) and flame test (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fLgYh4kSEes).
They correctly state that the card is not fire proof and is only isolated flame proof. I wish they showed the other side of the card after the flame test though
