Re: Casascius 0.5 BTC Silver Series-2 physical bitcoin: NO RESERVE, 30-DAY AUCTION
As we can see for more than a year, BTC and LTC physical coin from Casascius and Lealana are really a good way to store currency and to make (a really good) profit ! 
Ummm, what?
Not so sure about that.
Buying a Casascius 25BTC even for as low/high as 27 a year ago would have cost you about $21,000.
If you were to redeem it, or even sell for a profit at 28, that would be worth (as of right this minute) only $7,000.
So, I wouldn't call it a store of currency or value, but moreover a store of bitcoins. No profit yet.
Profit in bitcoin
This auction will add some more data to my "price of casascius coins in btc is unaffected by usd/btc rate" theory... one way or another.
Yeah ! Profit in bitcoin ...
When you use it, you "speak" it !
Re: [ANN] SatoChip: Open-Source Hardware wallet for less than 10$!
$10 is a very good price for a hardware wallet. But this JavaCard and Yubi key costs more than $10 and this need a special Yubi key that is not available. Not many people can test this project.
Javacard is cheap compair with the YubiKey ...
Re: [ANN] SatoChip: Open-Source Hardware wallet for less than 10$!
If you have one left, I would love to try it out, if not, I'll buy one once I have some BTC. Everything is locked up in cold storage and trades.
Of course, cold storage is the best storage you could find !
Physical coins, paper wallet, etc. use pre-print private key to store the crypto-value.
Of course it's better than an online trade plateform but if you lose your paper/coin, you lose your BTC !
With this card, the simlock is a great shield against hackers, plus a good software implementation to deal with the blockchain.
Furthermore, with this new design, the card's looking gorgeous

Hi Toporin.
Thank you ! I've received the simcard this morning.
But it's a white one ... Need some skin tweak before I test the card.
What do you think :
