I wonder about the security aspects of it though; would love to hear more insight from technical nostriches and also some firsthand experiences as these find their way into users' hands.

100% same here. Already feels like it has a unique place in the lineup

I hear you for sure, and typically, same here (with the exception of the first ledger I ever bought, before I knew better).

I wouldn’t use this for more than a bit of “well-secured” spending money, or maaaaaaybe as 1/5 in a strong multi sig, but only if a feature exists that allows me to hide certain keys or make the file look like another app or something (the way Samourai did on mobile, if I recall).

I love the idea of a device like this for all the other (non-monetary) encryptions/backups, because as of now I really don’t feel confident storing a bunch of disparate file types or sticky notes in safes or whatever.

Like the Apple encrypted backup, for example. My iCloud content is pretty vanilla, but it’s still mine and I want it private. But like with a seed phrase, if you lose the backup (and your human backup buddy) then you’re f’d. And while with Bitcoin it’s arguably higher stakes, it’s also a simple and widely practiced process to back up and store a seed phrase on steel.

With iCloud (and work backups, and a Yubikey, and fifteen other accounts, etc.) I don’t have a unified system or device that I’m confident about. That’s where I think this new toy will shine…

Hey nostr:npub15c88nc8d44gsp4658dnfu5fahswzzu8gaxm5lkuwjud068swdqfspxssvx or nostr:npub1lqvv69u549atefvcyfht30lemlyvl9jnz4l7c6ejs20yzpq7hh7sjjfx0r I was looking at the “includes 2 year warranty” if you preorder the first batch. Does this include any potential issues or defects that only become apparent in batch 1? I’m normally early (but not first) to new tech, because I like to wait for the first round of customer feedback to inform a second iteration. But in this case I’m feeling too excited to wait.

Just want to be sure that the warranty has me covered if there’s an unforeseen issue. Appreciate you all 🤜💥🤛

I get that! I think for me, I’ve been looking for a good way to store the other non-monetary backups and this looks like just the ticket lol
