So curious to hear what you think of it. I don’t like the biometric part but afaik one doesn’t need to use it?
Discussion
yea I dont love that it has a fingerprint reader and doesn't have a screen - will report back after running it through its paces
Thank you, looking forward! Share both of those hesitations around it
Imagine a new threat when travelling to third world countries (or even intercities USA). Instead of mugging you to take your cashc they just mug you and make you put your fingerprint on the rock.
Cold storage? ✅ physical security? 😵
Yep, you need to unlock it with fingerprint to authorise transactions requiring the hardware wallet!
And there’s no other way? :/
Not at present, but it makes sense to unlock using biometrics as it validates the authorised user is making the transaction.
Yes but I’ve never liked using biometrics as a security feature since I saw a video years ago of teens opening their super drunk friend’s phone by holding it up to his face, and I realized there were many attack vectors with biometrics
Agreed, but I wouldn't leave the hardware device in my residence / workplace etc. Still need to treat it like a multisig.
