Foundation Prime onboards new off line self custody users with 2NFC cards and a third encrypted backup on Envoy.
It will be as simple as Bitkey but has a screen on the device. Open source and assembled in the USA.

THIS IS THE WAY
Brilliant
Yeah
still a little early to be singing its praises
They delivered with the Passport.
I am offering a comparison to Square Bitkey workflow, production and no screen.
a comparison to a product that doesn't exist yet
i get it.
I'm excited too.
They real in the wild, just rare
.. plus open to monero dev
Proper supply chain integrity checking for parts being genuine is significantly more important than “assembled” in the USA.
Fair, I would believe that is part of the value prop of assembling in USA.
Not really.
Assembled can include or not include:
- soldering work of chips
- connecting components
- final assembly of enclosure
There are ways to have a very trust minimized supply chain. This is only possible with certain parts though and requires effort that most companies don’t want to go through
Well then we are both assuming what Foundation does in their process. I am sure nostr:nprofile1qqs2vrneurk665gq6a2rke572y7mc8ppwr5wnd60mw8fwxharc8xsycpr9mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuumwdae8gtnnda3kjctv9uchqnm4 would be happy to share more.
Yeah. It could mean a lot of things. With newer chips, there is authenticity certificates and similar, that make it hard to counterfeit at scale.
Visual inspection also could be beneficial in case assembly of the PCB is outsourced.
