Mode Three - Two Factor Encryption BIP38:
This mode uses BIP38, a Bitcoin encryption method where the private key is encrypted with a password. This option is for advanced customers as such it requires the customer to send Infinitum an intermediate code which will allow Infinitum to generate the encrypted private key based on the password, without knowing the password. Generate an intermediate code at https://www.infinitumbitcoins.com/bit2factor/ or using the service of your choice. Once you have the intermediate code proceed through the buying process selecting ‘Mode Three’, during the buying process copy and paste the intermediate code when required to do so.
Infinitum will use the intermediate code to generate the encrypted private keys and associated public address. We then place them on the coin, apply the hologram to the reverse of the coin concealing the encrypted private key inside, leaving the public address barcode visible though the transparent window.
Mode three comes with a 'Certificate of Bitcoin Wallet Authenticity' with the wording 'TWO FACTOR' written across the top and the text 'Password required' under the bitcoin public address.
To fund the coin simply send bitcoins to the public car code address on the reverse of the coin as normal.
To redeem your funds you will need to know the password and enter it into a service such as https://www.infinitumbitcoins.com/bit2factor/ where it is possible to decrypt the private key secured behind the coins hologram sticker. The password must be entered to decrypt.
The two factor private key process is really for advanced users who understand encrypted keys. If you misplace or forget the password then all funds on that bitcoins address will be lost.
The advantage BIP38 or two factor encryption is that we Infinitum can never know the actual public key address as we do not have the password to decrypt it. It provides a high level of security.

Nikola Tesla
Nikola Tesla (10 July 1856 – 7 January 1943) was a Serbian American inventor, electrical engineer, mechanical engineer, physicist, and futurist best known for his contributions to the design of the modern alternating current (AC) electricity supply system.
Tesla gained experience in telephony and electrical engineering before emigrating to the United States in 1884 to work for Thomas Edison in New York City. He soon struck out on his own with financial backers, setting up laboratories and companies to develop a range of electrical devices. His patented AC induction motor and transformer were licensed by George Westinghouse, who also hired Tesla for a short time as a consultant. His work in the formative years of electric power development was involved in a corporate alternating current/direct current "War of Currents" as well as various patent battles.
Tesla went on to pursue his ideas of wireless lighting and electricity distribution in his high-voltage, high-frequency power experiments in New York and Colorado Springs, and made early (1893) pronouncements on the possibility of wireless communication with his devices. He tried to put these ideas to practical use in his ill-fated attempt at intercontinental wireless transmission, which was his unfinished Wardenclyffe Tower project. In his lab he also conducted a range of experiments with mechanical oscillators/generators, electrical discharge tubes, and early X-ray imaging. He also built a wireless controlled boat, one of the first ever exhibited.
Tesla was renowned for his achievements and showmanship, eventually earning him a reputation in popular culture as an archetypal "mad scientist". His patents earned him a considerable amount of money, much of which was used to finance his own projects with varying degrees of success. He lived most of his life in a series of New York hotels, through his retirement. He died on 7 January 1943. His work fell into relative obscurity after his death, but in 1960 the General Conference on Weights and Measures named the SI unit of magnetic flux density the tesla in his honor. There has been a resurgence in interest in Tesla in popular culture since the 1990s.
