Haha... they are pretty damn cute! But still, I don't think I would trust it... after all, wouldn't the private key still need to be exposed at some point... even if it just to the computer that needs to do the printing?

Well, I guess that's a risk some people are willing to take. I still have an original Casascius coin with 1 BTC loaded on it, same problem applies there. That one's still loaded though after 8 years :)
Wow... that is a real collectible there! I guess I took the risk with the Ethereum stamps... but in that case, it is only a on-chain collectible that is at risk....
Hi @bengy thanks for the feedback. The idea is to use a printer that prints concealed labels, with a program that automatically generates private keys for the printer and erases its memory afterwards. Physical Bitcoin services usually work on a trust basis, with few people having access to the private keys. We want no one to have access except the person who is unpeeling the label. We'll share as much about the process as possible so you can make sure it's trustworthy.
Thanks... definitely there is some risk... but there is a way I'm sure that you will manage to risk! I have some of the Ethereum crypto stamps and they have the same sort of trust issue... but for them, it is only an on-chain collectible that is risk!
