just received the bitkey beta - hardware feels incredibly solid in hand
Discussion
Ugh
Now you done made me spend money 😅
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?
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.
It is well balanced too, try spinning it like a top 👍
いいな
great endorsement, should be on the box
Is that a fingerprint reader? Hopefully there are other ways to access the device. These things never worked for me. I basically don’t have fingerprints.
How does one remove fingerprints?
Asking for a friend.
Im the same way. Years of woodworking, namely hand-sanding and polishing wore most of my fingers pretty smooth. I talked to a guy who did a lot of rock polishing and his fingerprints were even less visible than mine.
I’m not sure why these things never work for me. It’s not like I don’t really have fingerprints, I do, I can see them. But they dont work.
Nice
Looks so good, let us know what you think
Looks cool
You should test how it handles boating accidents....
😂 for sure straight to the bottom. I know everyone will be extra mindful when out on the boat with the one 😂🪨
Looks sexy 💜
Amazing!
Can you verify what is being signed before authenticating?
Looks like a moon rock, I prefer the retro style coinkite is sticking with. millions will be onboarded onto what might seemingly look like a gameboy color.....the node will be in the cartridge.
Curious to hear about the ruggedness of it like dropping and things like that.
Also, what the UX will look like on the whole user journey
How does a regular pleb get on?
Nice your one of the lucky one’s curious on how user friendly it is…

Yeah the back is like solid brass. There’s an option to use your own electrum server too, which was kinda unexpected
Que cosa hermosa 😊✨👌👏💜
I like it but I want to take it to the next level. I am working on a hardware device based on this design.

Not a fan of the name. Besides, looks like it's already in use: https://bitkey.io/
Does it float or sink?
Very similar to my mystical stone that I got for my birthday from the Druids.
rug rock

interesante
Newbie here, just wanna ask, what is this?
GM
Hey Odell, I think send this note's zaps to that 😁⚡⚡👌
Does it work?
Looks calm. How is it to use?
Still don't know how you are supposed to verify that all the transaction details are correct without a display in the hardware wallet 👀

Looks awesome.
How can I get one, or at the moment it is just a closed beta testing and we should wait for the official release?
Thanks!
I would assume the build quality to be first-rate
I love that it looks like a black rock.
What's it made out of? Looks like stone. Can we make a stone one?
🤤😍✨🪨
Loving how simple the packaging is :)
Solid wallet for hard money..? Sounds appropriate! 🤙
