In memoriam
A few words for someone you miss.
Short, and kept for good.
An online memorial page lasts as long as the company that runs it. A few words on Bitcoin don’t depend on any of us.
Write a line for them, a first name and the years if you like, and it’s kept with the date. You get a certificate to print and a link to share with family.

What they receive
A certificate to keep, and a line that can’t be lost.
- A certificate to frame. A PDF for Letter, A4 or 11×14, printed at home or at any print shop.
- A page to share. One link that opens on any phone, for everyone who should see it.
- A permanent record. The line itself on Bitcoin, with its date, checkable by anyone, with or without us.
- Signed by you. The certificate carries the name on the card that pays, and theirs in “In honor of”.

Remembering
Ways to remember them.
You sign the certificate with the name on your card; their full name can go in “In honor of”, which stays off Bitcoin and off the public page.
In your own words
A first name, the years, and the thing you’d tell anyone about them.
“Mom, 1948–2026. You taught us to laugh at the hard parts. We still do.”
For the family
Share the private link so everyone can open it and print the certificate for the service.
“Uncle Ray, 1950–2026. Always the last one to leave the party.”
For a pet
They were family too. A name, the years and what you miss.
“Luna, 2011–2026. Fifteen years of muddy paws and perfect company.”
Ideas

“For Margaret, who loved the sea. — David, June 2026.”
“Grandpa Joe, 1931-2026. Coffee black, jokes bad, heart huge.”
“Biscuit, 2012-2026. Best boy. We'll leave the porch light on.”
How it works
How it’s kept.
01Write a line for them
Up to 80 plain letters, about one sentence. Many people use a first name and the years, or a nickname. The words are public for good, so keep them to what the family is fine sharing.
02It joins the next block
About every ten minutes Bitcoin adds a block, stamped with the time. Your words usually go into the next one, and they stay there.
03Keep it, share it
A certificate to print and frame, and a link for family and friends. The transaction ID opens the words on a public Bitcoin explorer, even without us.

Who sees what
The words are public. Full names stay off Bitcoin.
Anyone can read the line, for good. The full name in “In honor of” and your name are only on your certificate, which only people with your private link can open.
Public anyone can see it

The honest part
What it proves, and what it isn’t.
It proves
- These words were written by that date
- Nobody can change them
- Nobody can take them off Bitcoin, not even us
What it isn’t
- A memorial website: no photos, no guestbook
- A death record or an obituary
It’s one short line, a date and a certificate. Some families pair it with an obituary or a memorial page elsewhere.
Questions
Good to know.
One sentence is the size of it. A first name and the years, a nickname, or the thing everyone remembers about them. Leave out last names, addresses, how they died, and faith or health details, since it’s public for good and our check doesn’t allow them.
Not from Bitcoin. Once it’s in a block nobody can change it or take it out, us included. If you’re not sure the family is ready, wait. There’s no rush.
The words stay on Bitcoin. Your certificate and order email carry the transaction ID, and a public Bitcoin explorer opens it, with or without us.
Each engraving is its own short message. Others in the family can write their own, and each gets its own date and certificate.
Yes. Plenty of the lines people write are for a dog, a cat or a horse.
$49, paid once by card, everything included, Bitcoin’s fee too. You get a link to share and a certificate to print and frame.
Whenever you’re ready.
Write a line, read it over, pay by card. It usually goes into Bitcoin’s next block, about ten minutes later.
