Abstract:
An example operation may include one or more of connecting, by a smart note, to a blockchain configured to store Bitcoins (BTCs) of a user on a ledger, displaying, by the smart note, a value of a BTC read from the ledger on a display screen located on the smart note, detecting, by the smart note, a press of a button located on the smart note, generating, by the smart note, a BTC address pair in response to the detecting of the press of the button, checking, by the smart note, if a private key associated with the smart note has been used, in response to a confirmation that the private key has not been used, generating and displaying, by the smart note, a trusted symbol indicating to the user of the smart note that the private key has not been used, and transferring, by the smart note, the value of the BTC to the blockchain using the private key associated with the smart note.
