Ugh
Now you done made me spend money ๐
So curious to hear what you think of it. I donโt like the biometric part but afaik one doesnโt need to use it?
It is well balanced too, try spinning it like a top ๐

great endorsement, should be on the box
Is that a fingerprint reader? Hopefully there are other ways to access the device. These things never worked for me. I basically donโt have fingerprints.
Nice
How does one remove fingerprints?
Asking for a friend.
Looks so good, let us know what you think
Looks cool
You should test how it handles boating accidents....
Looks sexy ๐
Amazing!
Can you verify what is being signed before authenticating?
Im the same way. Years of woodworking, namely hand-sanding and polishing wore most of my fingers pretty smooth. I talked to a guy who did a lot of rock polishing and his fingerprints were even less visible than mine.
LFG
No you didnโtttttt
Looks like a moon rock, I prefer the retro style coinkite is sticking with. millions will be onboarded onto what might seemingly look like a gameboy color.....the node will be in the cartridge.
I'd actually totally use a stone pipe like that. It fits in the change pocket on my jeans perfectly!
Fuck it same ๐ญ๐คฃ๐ฏ
Curious to hear about the ruggedness of it like dropping and things like that.
Also, what the UX will look like on the whole user journey
How does a regular pleb get on?
First shiny rock I've wanted in a while

Nice your one of the lucky oneโs curious on how user friendly it isโฆ
Iโm not sure why these things never work for me. Itโs not like I donโt really have fingerprints, I do, I can see them. But they dont work.

Yeah the back is like solid brass. Thereโs an option to use your own electrum server too, which was kinda unexpected
Que cosa hermosa ๐โจ๐๐๐
I like it but I want to take it to the next level. I am working on a hardware device based on this design.
Not a fan of the name. Besides, looks like it's already in use:
BitKey - Secure Bitcoin Swiss Army Knife
Does it float or sink?
Very similar to my mystical stone that I got for my birthday from the Druids.
rug rock

What...is that?
interesante
Newbie here, just wanna ask, what is this?
GM
Yep, you need to unlock it with fingerprint to authorise transactions requiring the hardware wallet!
Hey Odell, I think send this note's zaps to that ๐โกโก๐
Does it work?
Looks calm. How is it to use?
Still don't know how you are supposed to verify that all the transaction details are correct without a display in the hardware wallet ๐
๐ชจ
Looks awesome.
How can I get one, or at the moment it is just a closed beta testing and we should wait for the official release?
Thanks!
I would assume the build quality to be first-rate
And thereโs no other way? :/
I love that it looks like a black rock.
What's it made out of? Looks like stone. Can we make a stone one?
๐คค๐โจ๐ชจ
๐ for sure straight to the bottom. I know everyone will be extra mindful when out on the boat with the one ๐๐ชจ
Not at present, but it makes sense to unlock using biometrics as it validates the authorised user is making the transaction.
Yes but Iโve never liked using biometrics as a security feature since I saw a video years ago of teens opening their super drunk friendโs phone by holding it up to his face, and I realized there were many attack vectors with biometrics
Loving how simple the packaging is :)
Agreed, but I wouldn't leave the hardware device in my residence / workplace etc. Still need to treat it like a multisig.
Solid wallet for hard money..? Sounds appropriate! ๐ค
Is this the "tardware" wallet where the company has ur seedphrase or am I mistaken?
cool
