I keep seeing this picture and still have no idea what that thing is, and every post is some ambiguous shit like this, lol. Seriously I’ve seen like 5 posts over the past few weeks and not even one of them explained WTF I was looking at 🤣
Discussion
I think it’s block’s hardware wallet?
I Believe you are correct
Why do I need a hardware wallet?
Signing device*
Be your own bank. Cold storage. No bank runs!
Why do you think it’s about what you need?
Seriously? How the hell does it work? 🤔
I believe it reads your fingerprint and that allows access instead of a passcode
Same here, subscribing with the hope to become smarter
PALPABLE TERROR.
Much explain. So understanding. 🤣
Block’s hardware signing device
Cold storage device with no on-board screen for verification.
👎
Yeah I really can't see a use case for this
All they had to do was add a simple display for address verification.
This shit isn't hard & there's no way to confirm an internet connected device, in this case your computer broadcasting the signed transaction, is compromised or not.
Furthering the madness,
Are people really going to allow this thing to generate their PKs?
Seed generation on a device without a screen?????
Wtf #[10]
On boarding a lot of people with a lot of different hardware wallets/signing devices I would like to take a stance for this solution. Most people don’t self custody because it’s to difficult. So how can we get them to easily and cheaply self custody?
The most sold device on planet earth is a closed source, data leaking, chainalysis cooperating low quality, physically connected to the internet, shitcoining ledger.
Would an open source, air gapped cheaper, bitcoin only and more intuitive wallet be an improvement as first step? I believe it is.
Closed source or not, there's a screen onboard the device.
I'm all for different solutions, but man - no display just seems super duper dumb.
I understand and you’re correct for bitcoiners. But for the majority of people verifying something on a different screen is already to difficult. Especially a bitcoin address. I can imagine that people actually just buy these devices to sign transactions and save their bitcoin that’s it. No physical backups, just two of these devices with the same keys synced. They’re fingerprint protected so they’ll just lay them in two separate locations. If this syncing would be possible I’m curious if they would be able to this device to device via bluetooth for instance. You wouldn’t want the keys to touch the phone.
Of course it seems like that to you, because you can’t think, and are mind blind, believing that millions of dollars are being spent to develop a device and service without any testing or focus groups. Its patheticly blind and ignorant.
My comments are for the plebs & the people here on Nostr.
I provide insight into self custody solutions, habits, and common pitfalls.
This is the main conversation I've been having on Bitcoin socials, & considering I get paid for none of it - the output is as impartial as it gets.
If you believe this is good for the masses, okay, they aren't of any concern to **me** though.
And so therefore…what? They should stop production? Isn’t that what antiBitcoiners said? “I don’t see the point of Bitcoin; I have my Chase app and credit card”.
Why are people so insufferably dull witted?
Yes that's precisely what Block should do, listen an in internet anon who's apparently not allowed to have an opinion 🤷🏻♂️
Nice to see you haven't changed in the transition from Twitter 😜
“Self custody or bust.” But only on elitist devices approved of by me. LOL, you’re not going to like Bitcoin when a billion more people are on it. Don’t worry, you’ll still be an “OG”.
