Introducing...The SnowballThe Snowball is the first unit of its kind. Not only is this a live, hardware wallet, but depositing coins to the addresses in this device will ensure your coins are always ready to stake on a stable, secure storage of wealth. Not only will this unit run nonstop, but now there are no more worries about forgetting to open your client or leaving a dedicated staking computer running at all times. Powered by nearly the small footprint of a cell phone charger, The Snowball aims to provide the first, and most energy efficient, staking hardware available on the market
The
Maieutice Snowball runs on a very low energy operating system with extremely efficient hardware featuring a simple, straight-forward setup that we are able to provide at an affordable price. The best thing about this unit is that you only need 1 or 2 of them; it is not a large investment for an extra layer of security and peace of mind that your funds are safe and accounted for
Sorry for using this picture, but I couldn't have possibly even created a better one...The Yeti
First there was the SnowballMaieuticoin and Snowballs were the first coins to produce a mass market, easy to scale, standalone staking wallet. These units proved to us there was an interest in hardware and we aim to continue innovating in any way we can. The Yeti is the next step in our evolution of devices. Not only is this device perfect for someone who wants to keep their actions their own, but it also helps to add yet another layer of security between your money and any external threats when used as a complete system with our staking hardware
Now there is the YetiThe Yeti aims to decrease visibility one step further than most coins do. While your transactions are still easily available in the public ledger, the Yeti adds a layer of interference between your devices and their destination. Instead of trying to provide plausible deniability through the blockchain and transactions, the Yeti instead provides a wireless network that processes all information and traffic through the Tor network. When used together with the Snowball staking hardware, these two handy, easy to afford devices, provide two additional layers of security between your wealth and anyone who has malicious intent
Who is this good for?If you want to browse anonymously on a netbook, tablet, phone, or other mobile or console device that cannot run Tor and does not have an Ethernet connection. If you do not want to or cannot install Tor on your work laptop or loan computer
What is Tor?Tor is an onion routing service - every internet packet goes through 3 layers of relays before going to your destination. This makes it much harder for the server you are accessing (or anyone snooping on your Internet use) to figure out who you are and where you are coming from. It is an excellent way to allow people who are blocked from accessing websites to get around those restrictions
What exactly does it do?The Yeti is connected to your modem or router via ethernet and creates a wireless network that can be used to push all traffic from connected devices through Tor. This includes mobile devices, tablets, phones, desktops, laptops, or any other device that is enabled for wireless, as well as our standalone staking hardware devices. The Yeti creates a new wireless access point and does not interfere with any current or future wireless networks. You can run the Yeti and your current wireless setup simultaneously
Pricing and availabilityThese units will
not be pre-orders like the first round of Snowballs were. We have been keeping this quiet for a while, but it is almost ready to go. Just a little more testing and user friendly features to add. We plan to open sales to both domestic and international customers simultaneously this round with no limit to the number of units that can be purchased per address. More unit specifications will be available when we start taking orders
Design subject to change. The wireless antenna is not pictured above

Definition Maieutics is a pedagogical method based on the idea that truth is latent in the mind of every human being due to innate reason but has to be "given birth" by answering intelligently proposed questions (or problems)
