Re: Ballet's new pre-halving 2020 Bitcoin Block -- You can order now.

you're complaining about stickers?

most physical bitcoins today use stickers to cover up the private keys. So you don't complain about that?

All of my BTCC Mint blocks from 2015 and 2015, both the 25+ BTC and the 12.5+ BTC, they ALL had stickers on them.
What's the issue with stickers on physical bitcoins?

Like I said, the shiny lettering "stickers" look GREAT in person.

Tamper-evident security holograms are much different than cheap stick-on numbers. These are not comparable when calling both "stickers"

What security features are present in this product that would make it nearly impossible to copy? How could someone purchasing this block not directly from you ensure the authenticity of the product?

This product is missing a very important "sticker" and IMO would be easy for someone to create a fake. This is a serious issue when holding a large sum BTC. I have no doubt the key generation is safe.

Please expand on why it "would be easy for someone to create a fake."

The private key is under a tamper resistant multi layer "sticker" - The BIP38 passphrase is under a scratch off - It's a large block of titanium with a fairly intricate die to stamp these.

Posting with your alt account... Wtf.

Not to derail this thread but you are a complete moron whoever you are! A simple look into the posts I've started on this forum would prove otherwise. I'm certain the former CEO of the BTCC Mint/Exchange and now current CEO of Ballet has time to be brokering and selling items that are worth $5-$500 as most of the items I sell are. There are plenty of respected members on this forum that have seen both Bobby and me. Please do some homework before you make comments that just make you look stupid.

.....and while I'm at it, if you don't like the product, don't buy it. It's that simple. The way I see it, Bobby gave people a way to own a freshly mined bitcoin block. Like it or not, it's currently your only option. Yes, it's different from the BTCC ones. BTCC was not a US company, hence they were able to do things a bit different. There are a lot more restrictions as a US based company. He found a way to make it work, have you?? ....or any of you criticizing for that matter.... what have you brought to the bitcoin collectibles community?? Please make something better..... with superior security. Innovation is great.... let's see what you come up with.
