Production update: We recently launched the production of 2,500 English and 500 Korean Penlock kits! 🛠️ Delivery is targeted for February 10. 🚀

✅ This completes phase 2 of our Angor campaign, and we claimed the 0.019BTC milestone reward. We are now focused on setting up logistics and the online shop interface.

🇰🇷 Excellent 12-min Korean tutorial for Penlock just dropped by Shinabu_btc (시나부). Perfect for a quick, comprehensive overview of seedphrase generation, splitting, and recovery. 감사합니다! 🙏

Reminder: Always use the official guides when dealing with real funds. ⚠️

✅ Great news—we have the final sample! We addressed a couple glitches and have moved on to finalizing the Korean version, thanks to @nprofile1q...'s translation! 🙏 We're also sorting out the printing contract, with delivery targeted for mid-February. 📦

We'll be live at the Angor community call in 15 mins. Learn more about Penlock and ask your questions directly to us! 😄

Oh, when you said "Let me know if you want one," I thought you were talking about making one for Penlock... I don’t think I need a Codex32 one, to be honest — it looks great though! You might want to mention it on the Codex32 GitHub; they’ll definitely be interested in it!

There has been some demand for something like this, so I'm going to consider it. Could you send me a back-of-the-napkin quote and maybe some pictures of the Codex32 ones?

It is the same concept, but the algorithm has been optimized for faster paper computation!

Amazing! 😍

I did 🤭

Penlock got covered in @nprofile1q...’s Bitcoin Tech Talk! ✨

This is a high-signal newsletter that always comes with some food for thought… I don't know how he keeps up with reading so much, year after year! Here’s what he had to say about Penlock:

“If you want to back up a seed phrase but don’t want the seed phrase in a single place, this is a very interesting option. The main idea is to split a 12-word seed phrase into a 2-of-3 backup, but instead of using a computer to split this up, it uses a printable paper wheel. It uses some clever cryptography under the hood and what you end up with in your shares are other seed phrases that can get combined to recover your 12-word seed. Honestly, the makers should make these wheels available for sale as it mitigates the evil maid attack.”

Well, looks like we’re on the same page… more news about it soon!

Thank you for covering us @nprofile1q...! 🙏

Actually, we just had a successful peer funding campaign to start manufacturing Penlock kits and distributing them in Bitcoin spaces & conferences: https://hub.angor.io/project/angor1qfydf802v2efvxufevrfg0mvtlrxln63rkzmdxw

We are still looking for additional sponsors! If that's something you're interested in, or if you know anyone that would be, please get in touch through Nostr messages!

Have a good day :) 🎄

We're excited to welcome our second sponsor: @nprofile1q... ! 🥥

The @nprofile1q... team is building two mobile apps that work in tandem: Coconut Wallet, a watch-only Bitcoin wallet, and Coconut Vault, an offline signing app designed to run on fully isolated devices. Beyond software, they operate the recently opened Bitcoin Center Seoul to support education and community development 👥.

We first connected at a Bitcoin public event in a Korean university, where their CEO took the stage as the MC. The vibe of a nearly-full amphitheater studying the potential of Bitcoin was really something else! ✨

You can find them at https://coconut.onl and https://bitcoincenterseoul.com ... Or, meet there in person? 📍
