Yes! We’re building a Mining Development Kit for this purpose. You can read more about it here and follow along on progress at mining.build

p.s. Skot is great and we’re already talking to him about this!

You know, one of the things that really hurt Apple was after I left John Sculley got a very serious disease. And I’ve seen others get it too. It’s the disease of thinking that a really great idea is 90% of the work. And if you just tell all these other people “here’s this great idea,” then of course they can go off and make it happen.

And the problem with that is that there’s just a tremendous amount of craftsmanship in between a great idea and a great product. And as you evolve that great idea, it changes and grows. It never comes out like it starts because you learn a lot more as you get into the subtleties of it. And you also find there are tremendous tradeoffs that you have to make. There are just certain things you can’t make electrons do. There are certain things you can’t make plastic do. Or glass do. Or factories do. Or robots do.

Designing a product is keeping five thousand things in your brain and fitting them all together in new and different ways to get what you want. And every day you discover something new that is a new problem or a new opportunity to fit these things together a little differently.

And it’s that process that is the magic.

Looking forward to trying the #bitkey, but are all these trackers really necessary?

nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m or anyone in the Bitkey team, can some of the data below at least NOT be linked to an identifiable ID?

You can find more details on what data we collect and explanations of why for each in the link below. While this is what we do today, like other aspects of our products, privacy is a priority and this will evolve over time to be less and less

The hardware goes to sleep after 60s of inactivity, which is equivalent to a reset. USB insertion also forces a reset.

If you’re meaning wipe the hardware, yep that’s on the roadmap!
