True.
The Italian reseller sells at a higher MSRP and charges 9 euro to ship within Italy π
any issues with forgetting it in places where knives are.. problematic?
had too many close calls with a simple swiss knife here that I always forget on me

Yeah I understand logistics is a nightmare.
But:
shopinbit does free shipping with an LN payment to Italy but costs 79 euro and only has the orange variant.
cryptoken does 5 euro shipping to Italy but costs 75 euro and only has stock for the transparent/green variants.
Not a single EU reseller option is reasonably priced π - it's the same price to get it directly from blockstream with their discounts (50 euro) and freight forward it to Italy + pay VAT...
Thatβs not true, weβve always had a lot in stock and have always been below that priceβ¦ nostr:npub1qvwdl9rp7a5ghrxv57wnml5ehg2whjh708vys6kaxpkgu0z3aclsuy2h4p

WHY ARE JADES SO EXPENSIVE IN EU?
Not a single reseller has pricing below 75/80 Euro π
And barely any have stock to begin with.

Okay, thoughts on the $25 bitkey now that I received it through my freight forwarder in EU:
* Pros:
The user experience and on-boarding is really frictionless.
The hardware build quality is excellent, this thing feels incredibly premium for what it is.
At $25, it's a steal.
* Cons:
Entirely useless outside of the Block setup. Not interoperable. Can not be used as an NFC key in a normal multisig.
Not convinced that the "recovery" pathways if you lose two of the three keys are safe.
At MSRP, it's delusional pricing unless it is allowed to be interoperable.
* TL:DR;:
Not for me, and because it's not interoperable, it's nowe-waste..

Some of you may know, I balance nostr:npub1fpcd25q2zg09rp65fglxuhp0acws5qlphpg88un7mdcskygdvgyqfv4sld and bitcoin work with my full time development director work.
Everything I do in Bitcoin and the Progressive Bitcoiner and the 15-20+ hours I put in per week is not funded (really just our basic infrastructure is funded). The team contributes completely volunteer as well, in-kind support worth thousands and thousands of dollars.
I need your support to keep these efforts moving and growing! The best way to do this is to support us via our nostr:npub1kmwdmhuxvafg05dyap3qmy42jpwztrv9p0uvey3a8803ahlwtmnsnhxqk9. See below to help sustainably fund our work to reach millions of progressives worldwide β¬οΈ π. Even if you are not progressive/left, we are the only group focusing solely on this hugely untapped group of hundreds of millions worldwide and presenting them with good bitcoin education, research, policy, and advocacy.

Given more support Iβll be able to focus solely on this Bitcoin work and do the following which I am unable to fully do now:
- increasing number of pod episodes per week
- conference attendance
- speaking engagements
- consulting work with nonprofits, advocacy groups, and political staffers
- more writing for newsletter and various publications to get more free resources out to the public
- more video projects on YouTube and more
Consider partnering with me on this today! We also have a Patreon for those who wish to give support in fiat: https://www.patreon.com/ProgressiveBitcoiner (but this is nostr so Iβm assuming youβll want to do geyser π)
Please share far and wide to build support π

Always refreshing to see your content. Nostr (and Bitcoin in general) has a very vocal far right bubble.

Could the bitkey be used as an NFC key/signer in a separate multisig? Sort of like a tapsigner?
