For those that complain about the same ible.....try being creative; instead of being part of the problem, be part of the solution.....take the ible and make it better, bigger, smaller, or different in some way....insulated it against x-rays, or credit card readers....insulate it against Superman's Vision....something. Have you all lost your innovative spirit ? *hops off of soapbox, and quickly carries it away*
Yeah, my usual first reactions is get frustrated, slam my laptop screen down, go into my shed and fiddle around with some of my high voltage stuff... Then come back a while later...
Yes, i came across it while you were all sleeping before they updated the website! And again this morning, im guessing they were ironing out the creases.

Well, sure, but I've got a pile of paper wallets ten feet high. After 1,057 there's only so many ways to mod a paper wallet!!
Okay, not really. But paper wallets are boring.

I like the paper wallet. Even though it isn't fun that I'bles is down for a few moments, paper wallet always brings a smile to my face.
The pure simplicity combined with its basic sleak nature, is absolute brilliance.
It is the basis and beginnings of a most prevalent modding movement, which I believe earns paper wallet its place.
Long live paper wallet!!
