Abstract
[Resumen]: Uno de los principales factores que obstaculizan la adopción de activos criptográficos en general, y de Bitcoin en particular, es el alto nivel de complejidad que presentan para el usuario común. Aunque las monedas físicas son una solución viable, la necesidad de confiar en los fabricantes (para que desechen la clave privada) es una gran desventaja que ha frenado su uso generalizado. El reciente auge del movimiento maker ha traído un número significativo de usuarios con acceso a dispositivos de impresión 3D, así como a los recursos electrónicos y de computación necesarios. Hemos aprovechado estas capacidades para desarrollar un proyecto de código abierto que los usuarios interesados pueden usar para imprimir fácilmente un modelo físico de una moneda de Bitcoin, junto con el software necesario que permite la creación y validación de claves y direcciones.

Although physical coins are a possible solution, the need of placing trust in the manufacturers (so that they throw away the private key) is a big drawback that has hampered their widespread use. The recent boom of the maker movement has brought in a significant number of users with access to 3D printing devices, as well as the supporting electronic and computing resources. We have taken advantage of these capabilities to develop an open source project that interested parties can use to easily print a physical model of a Bitcoin coin, along with the necessary software that allows the creation and validation of keys and addresses.
