I am pleased to announce our new website, BIP38wallets.com, that offers affordable, high quality, customizable, professionally printed paper wallets to safely and securely store your crypto coins offline. The wallets are printed on a synthetic, heavy weight stock that is waterproof, greaseproof, and tearproof. Each wallet can have a custom image and/or message printed on them, along with your keys and large QR code versions of your keys for easy scanning.

We only accept BIP38 encrypted private keys, so you don't have to worry about anyone stealing your coins if you use a strong password that only you know. We recommend you use an offline trusted generator to create your keys, and we provide a list of them on our site. We also put our Bitcoin where our mouth is. There is 1 BTC safely locked inside the sample BIP38wallet on our site. If you can get it - it is yours for the taking. Good Luck!

BIP38wallets make great gifts and are a nice way to introduce crypto-currency to friends and family.

No account to create. We accept payment exclusively in crypto-currency (through CoinPayments). At this time, we are accepting US orders only.

We are launching in the LTB forum. To celebrate our launch, we are offering a minimum of 15% off all orders through the weekend (ends Sunday, September 28 at 10PM MDT) Come check us out and get yourself some wallets.

  It is meant to "prove" the strength of BIP38 encryption. Frankly, I'm hoping no one can get the bounty, but if you can, I want to know that too - as it would mean BIP38 has a flaw.

  This isn't a real bounty, it's impossible to retreive it...

  @yousure This isn't a real bounty, it's impossible to retreive it...

  That is, of course, if you believe anything is truly impossible given enough time. You could look at it as a bounty to find a flaw in BIP38 :P.

  But yeah, the idea is that nobody is going to get that BTC.

  That is, of course, if you believe anything is truly impossible given enough time. You could look at it as a bounty to find a flaw in the BIP38 proposal :P.

  But yeah, the idea is that nobody is going to get that BTC.

  yeah, maybe call it something other than a bounty? I have a feeling its going to sit there forever :p

  wallets look great though. Im going to move this thread to "Other Projects" instead of "General"

  Thanks!

  And yeah, I am inclined to agree with calling it something else if it causes confusion. I'm not hung up on the word bounty to describe it or anything.

  I'm happy to call it whatever people are happy with, but I do find many examples of "bounties" being offered to break "unbreakable" encryption for exactly this reason. It is simply a mechanism to show that the encryption is solid by publicly posting our private key. It is meant to help those who don't understand BIP38 to trust it.

  I'm sorry if my choice of wording caused any confusion.

  Well, I could do this, but I have a lot of bitcoin tied up with BIP38 :)

  Seriously, I have no problem with calling it a bounty. Given an infinite amount of time it is doable therefore it is not impossible. But, you state "If you can get it." By that do you mean social engineering? I assume someone has the key to decrypt it otherwise it's burned.

  Very cool, love seeing new Bitcoin storage products!

  @markxmayer What do you think are the most effective ways of saving one's BIP38 passphrase? And what is the use case you envision for a BIP38 wallet? This is always what gives me some pause with this security method, because I don't trust my memory with a strong password for a large amount of BItcoin. So I'd need to keep the password on a physical medium (paper, flash drive, etc.). But if I'm going to do that, then it seems that something like 3-of-5 multisig solution is a lot more powerful (though also more complex for most people to set up than BIP38). So I'd love to learn more about how you suggest people use your (or any) BIP38 wallet.

  Regardless, I still might buy your product, just because I like this type of stuff!

  BTW, I agree with your thinking, @eshriek. With hundreds of millions of years and adequate computing power, any Bitcoin private key is brute forceable. Though I didn't think of the social engineering or theft angle, depending on how the passphrase is stored.
