Wow it's crazy how literally none of that is on the website or supported by any evidence from the link. It's almost like you did a bad job and are now blaming everyone who noticed.

Even with all that being said, taking you at face value, it's bringing bitcoin into yet another format you can lose, and with its own tidy expiration date. Oh and let's not forget the extensive discussion of cutting or otherwise rendering the note useless on redemption. Are we supposed to believe this is an art piece or a serious monetary instrument. Traditional cash happens to be both and I can buy donuts with traditional cash, sans phone no less



Are you on mobile?

Scroll down to the “Bitcoin bearer instruments that you want to hold” section. Read the subsections under “resilient” and “key rotation” which it appears you may have missed before posting your first comment.

Anytime one is communicating a new concept there is a trade off between under and over communication. In this instance I believe it’s important to note the notes are synthetic and function without centralization - and a point of pride the face value adds a fairly unique ability for fungible cold storage not requiring a phone - not a concept one usually thinks of as possible with hardware wallets.

On the other hand properties relating to their resilience to “strong electrical fields” or “efficient burning” characteristics did not come up as concerns by other customers during development, nor as other metrics on which various other physical currencies benchmark, but I will note that as an area we could clarify in the future.
