The piglet is hollow, the only copy of the private key is inside the piglet. To reach it, you'd have to cut it open
Would love to see a digital version of this passed around Bitcointalk.
Have you ever thought about?
Seems like it could be passed around much more efficiently, particularly since a lot of people who actually use Bitcointalk don't know a huge number of bitcoin users IRL.
I would definitely be interested in participating.
The digital equivalent of this has been done already, with the lightning torch.
The whole shtick of this initiative is the physical aspect, of handing the DigiPiglet over to other people and trusting them.
Now, people can always just donate Bitcoin into the DigiPiglet without participating.
Here's the Piggy's Bitcoin address:

(The public address is also mentioned in the OP, so I'm not trying to scam anyone here
