I really like bitkeys concept but why no simple display on the hardware part? Wouldn't this reduce an attack vector? What am I missing?
This is excellent stuff. I stopped using my Bitkey because of privacy concerns. You're doing the Lord's work. Now just make UTXO management better in the app.

Now add: let users recover their sats in other wallets, UTXO management, disable Block server as a recovery option, connecting to the node for normies who run Umbrels, Start9, or other types of nodes and have no idea how to request certificates.
I am still greatly concerned about bitkey as two of the three keys are generated using secret closed-source methods. Someone please convince bitkey to fully open source their code 🙏 I own three of these wallets so I am not just a random person with make believe concerns.
“While a wallet’s UTXO set is temporarily exposed to Bitkey’s servers during a wallet recovery, this data is never logged.” Trust me bro…

When UTXO management? No “power” user can use this without that. It’s such a great product otherwise.

Exactly. Lack of UTXO management is a huge shortcoming.

Very interesting. I'd seen this a few times and ignored it. Thought it was just another bullshit product released mid cycle. It wasn't until I saw this page and dug deeper into it. Ordered a couple. I like how the owner is in control of two or three keys. Unlike fireblocks, where they are in control of 2 of 3 key shards. Did Block manage to "grandma proof" key management? 🤔 thanks!

Already supports UTXO management and the ability to connect to your own node

That wasn’t what I asked. I’m talking about actual coin control.
