Zachary @ Codl.Co
Zach of Codl.Co tells his bitcoin story from early CPU mining and losing coins to Armory and Mt. Gox, through altcoin mining, selling near $30, and buying a whole coin for his future son on paper wallets. He describes messaging NVK about a more compact Coldcard steel backup, being turned down, and building his own: the Codl.Co Punchplate, named after an accidental filename, launched after roughly 100 phone calls to find a US shop that could photochemically etch steel. He reports selling Punchplates to 46 countries with over a thousand orders and credits the product with letting him move his family to a small homestead.
