I think you already came up with a solution for this, didn't you? Today: everyone who carries a Trezor might be identified as "someone with the money" (why would he own such thing otherwise?). Tomorrow: if everyone carries a hardware wallet, we're fine, because we can't see whether theres $1...

I understand what you mean. However, that's not possible. Such a device would totally defeat the purpose of a hardware wallet and just add no security at all. It'd just give you peace of mind (until your coins are stolen). You can miniaturize storage and communication functions on such a...

The threat scenario of your personal wallet (non-crypto, dollar notes in it) is that is gets physically stolen from you by a thief next to you. The threat scenario to your mobile phone is that some hacker steals your coins / private keys. Not because sitting next to you, because you surf to some...

If we do this proposal, we could certainly assure you that we keep our fingers off other coins. That's normal business with "normal customers" all the time. Usually time limited though (1-2 years is common practice).

Today, yes, because crypto users are nerds. Because holding crypto is all about hoping that the coins will increase in value, not so much for payment. This can't be the long-term goal of Dash, to be just one of a bunch of crypto currencys that are all equally easy to use. Because in a market...

While it's a nice website, the thing they are promoting has nothing to do with a wallet. It's just an NFC tag with an address that links to your account. Buy them in packs of 100 for $0.1 here...

I made the proposal to open source all software components (firmware, protocol) as well as the hardware schematics. So possibly, someone could take that and build upon it. Technically, Dash is very similar to Bitcoin, so if you know what you're doing in embedded software stuff, you might have...

The basic function of a hardware wallet don't change with evolution: storing the private keys, verifying transactions (by displaying them to the user), and signing them. All the nice graphical user interfaces stay on the app (smartphone, computer). The resolution of addresses to usernames can...

Main market for this hardware wallet are mobile devices (smartphones, tablets). 99% of this devices should have BT. Even for laptops / notebooks, I'd say that that if the device has WiFi, it should have BT (they often share antennas on the module / frontend since it's the same frequency band)...

@dashdisciple: Thanks for your comment. And yes, right, this proposal is an up-front investment in design and production of a hardware product. I totally agree with you that the best option would be that the a startup just builds the thing and lives from the profits in units. However face...

You really think Trezor, Ledger and Keepkey are "killer products"? If so, then I have to agree 100% with you, you should dismiss my proposal right away. No kidding, no sarcasm here. The reason I'm coming up with this proposal is that I strongly believe that Trezor et. al. do not have the...

Jim, thanks for your comment. I understand that your main concern is whether we really can and will deliver what we promised. I totally agree that this is an issue we need to solve. I'm not trying to ask for a bunch of money for nothing. However, I strongly disagree that the amount proposed is...

Agreed on that. With the risk of disappointing you and solarguy and you: I still insist that concealment is not the top priority of a device like this. I don't say that there are no use cases for concealment. Maybe it's even a big thing for most Trezor users. But I don't want to create another...

No way. My (personal) motivation is to "put things into the world". To really see my products being used. And the chance to see that happen is the best with Dash, because the Dash project does focus on the key points: transactions being quick, cheap, safe/secure and reasonably anonymous. In...

If we bolted a BT module on a Trezor, that would an expensive device! Let me explain the details. The Trezor is basically just a single-chip solution featuring an STMicro STM32F205RE MCU. This chip was chosen because it has enough computing power for the job, and it has USB on-board. And the...

Well... A hardware wallet is definitely not primarily designed to evade customs and/or border security checks. Compared to just having the private keys on your phone or computer, it might be better anyways because we all know the stories that border control staff might want your computer or...

The idea is to make it open source because we don't own it. We might get funding for it, so the result should be owned by whoever gives funding. In this case, it's the Dash network. Since this is no legal entity, we could decide to attach ownership to some Dash-related legal entity, e.g. the...

Dear community, Before getting into all the details about me, my motivation, experience and all the other stuff, let me put the idea first. I strongly believe the Dash ecosystem needs a hardware wallet! Not just support for any hardware wallet, but the best hardware wallet ever. Meet the Dash...
