Bitkey is such a beautiful product. Got one just to see what it was about and it doesn’t disappoint!

Mainstream bitcoin adoption has zero excuses now.

Great job team Block!

I just got one too, really cool.

Any concerns about the recovery of the wallet? Apparently there is no seed phrase back up?

especially the cloud backup seems against the "offline Backup" ethos.

I think you need the signatures to recover? I’m not sure, will look closer

Cloud backup is key 1 of 3 so even if it leaked it doesn’t seem like a big deal. You could still transfer your funds way before someone gets a hold of another backup.

True! As you said I think Block did a great job.

I meant 1 of 2 since you need 2 to transact.

I have to see how it works exactly

So looked into it and the keys seem to be abstracted away through hardware, encrypted backup and server side encryption. Not worried about it tbh. If anything, this feels more safe than storing 3 seeds on your own.

We have a paper that goes in-depth on recovery features

Thanks but looks like the site is till being worked on

What do you mean?

This is what Bitkey build bring up

Should be fixed now!

Thanks
