Probably because their thought was something about  the drawing  of all Generations  to the color of Foundation :


I think Passport devices suite  both the youngsters and elders due to their clever UI/UX design and functionality.

Why choosing obscure .xyz domain?
I think having separate Passport HW domain or subdomain would be a good idea.
 
One question for you guys:
Are you working on adding support for using multiple seed phrases in the same time on one device?
More hardware wallets are supporting this, and I think it's a good idea to add it.

I had to post this here to show how ''serious'' keystone developers really are.  
Few months ago they posted fake open source license for keystone firmware, and they excluded Foundation Devices and Zach Herbet!
This was not open source, but they fixed it and remove that crap later.

I love its minimalistic approach and the dark mode feature is the icing on the cake

IMO, these kind of games deserve having a dedicated thread: 1 MILLION SATS hunt
_{- I think I've found three of them so far (please don't make them harder)}

BTW, I'm curious if anyone from the Philippines has tried applying to become an official reseller...

Big news for you all today -- say hello to our new home, https://foundation.xyz 🏠

Our website and domain have served us well, but we’ve long since outgrown the “Devices” moniker. To pave the way for a new wave of freedom tech from our team, we’re launching a new site today.

While we may have started as a purely hardware-focused company, we’ve grown and evolved into a freedom tech company that encompasses hardware, software and Bitcoin self-custody tools. We can’t wait to show you what we’ve planned in a HUGE 2024 that will even better reflect this!

With all of this, it’s time to shift from our old https://foundationdevices.com domain to a new, improved, and more accessible https://foundation.xyz. Our website now properly reflects our design-first approach and our simple, intuitive user experiences that grow with you.

A huge part of the new experience is letting you have your voice be heard, as we now feature real user feedback on every product page. Ever wondered what other Envoy or Passport users think of the experience? Wonder no longer:

https://foundation.xyz/passport/

Another core part of our effort has always been going above and beyond when it comes to customer support, but we never had a proper support page. All that has changed, with an entire page dedicated to contacting our support, reading FAQs, and much more.

https://foundation.xyz/support/

Speaking of customer support — now our Concierge white-glove service has a new home, giving you everything you need to know about it. Going from zero to self-custody has never been easier than with Passport + Concierge.

https://foundation.xyz/concierge/

We also have a deep passion for user education here at Foundation and wanted to better reflect that in our blog. We’ve drastically improved our blog, with better readability, better formatting, and easier navigation.

Want to deep-dive into the specifics of our devices security model? Or simply learn more about the deep ethos of personal privacy that goes into how we design all of our products? Now you can do that at a glance on our new Security page.

We can’t wait to hear your feedback on our new site! We have a HUGE week of giveaways, games, and celebrations planned for this week, so be sure to follow us on X or Nostr to be sure you don’t miss out 👀

I mean the rotation of the sequence order of receive and change addresses. For instance in the  first transaction the receive address goes first  the change - second, in following trx  the change - first, the receive second, in the  following trx again   the receive address goes first  the change - second, then again vice versa, and so it repeats in a circle.

Could you expand on what you mean here? We already rotate addresses every time you hit Receive and for every change output, even if the receive address isn't visibly used on-chain to better protect users. Is that what you're asking for, or something on top of that?

Could I propose for the future releases a small feature , namely,  the revolving order for destination and change addresses in every following transaction build by Envoy?  Implementing this would mislead slightly  the chainanalysis  companies which use heuristics in their research, and,  thus,  would  add to users privacy.

A huge new release of Envoy just dropped!

tl;dr:

⏩ Full “replace-by-fee (RBF)” control is here!
✍️ Custom Passport Names
🖥️ Redesign of address and amount displays
🌐 Improved Tor support

Read all the details in the link above 

It seems that March may be a good month for us as in the latest blog post of February[1] you can find this information:

Are we talking about a new product on the horizon? I once hypnotized[1] about a product similar to Ronin Dojo since I believe it would make sense in creating a true open source ecosystem for Foundation, but I reckon that the investment into such product may be high and riskier considering Foundation Passport Batch 2 launched last year[2]. By the way, Passport Batch 2 announcement will celebrate 1 year on March 10th, what a ride it has been!

Thanks for this. It is really a highly desired feature. With every passing  day I am more and more convinced in this thought that Passport wallet is is fraught with the infinite possibilities,  just as an atom.I can not  even  imagine  what challenges this wallet will take up next.

Was easy to miss in the laundry list of new features in 2.3.0 but was in there at the end, just for you

Noticed only today and I think it's worth to highlight now - they fulfilled my old-date request  


and implemented it  even by  the better way: Device --> Battery --> shazam!


I'm not sure what  release (either 2.2.0 or 2.3.0) has brought such wonderful feature but it doesn't matter.  It's  over there, under  the menu of Passport device.

Just came to my head after  reading this. Another option would be to safe  SeedQR to file (in some printable format ) on microSD card inserted into the slot of Passport device so that one could use it to print (using  the air-gapped machine) the image afterward. This printed image would be very useful at SeedQR backup on the steel plate.

Fascinating idea! I'll raise an internal issue with the team to further discuss it, to my knowledge we haven't considered it yet but would be great for helping with steel QR backups as mentioned.

I would also vote for the adding to device the function which allowed  to check the copy of SeedQR transferred from Passport screen to some stuff, let's say to paper, transparency film, metal plate,  etc., to remain sure that created backup is not getting corrupted somehow as the time passes.

@foundationdvcs : Following this[1] discussion, is there any possibility to implement the function that allows to magnify areas within the generated QR code so that it could be easily transferred to a metal plate (for example)? Or this is seen as something that is a "nice to have feature" and not "must have" at the moment considering the development plans?

As RickDeckard showed off, it's a new way to break up the address and use bold formatting to make it easier to verify "block by block," if you will.

You can read more on the motivation and standard that was proposed by the Bitcoin Design community here:

https://bitcoin.design/guide/glossary/address/#visual-formatting

We've also deployed the new address display format in Envoy as of v1.6.0 (in beta!) so that verifying addresses visually between the two is even easier!

Yeah, it fits my plot, only instead of a paper template I intend to use the-laser-printer-transparency-film with the  preliminary printed compact SeedQR-template like this


After mapping (by the fibre-tip pen with permanent ink ) this template with Compact SeedQR image relevant to my SEED,  I will place it on the steel plate and hummer the image points  with a punching  tip.

Indeed. But instead of just taking my word on it, take a look at the improved display yourself (plus get to see how the OP_Return displays as well):

Old[1]:


New[2]:


I like the detail where group of characters get bold automatically to be more easily identifiable by the user.

That would be cool.
I see number of Passport resellers in Europe is growing.

Is this update actually better address formatting similar like Trezor did recently?

Easy way is to use paper template and just fill spots with black marker pen, but I also saw people started making interesting plastic backup plates with tamper protection.
They are obviously not as durable as stainless steel or titanium plates, but they are good option when traveling and going in airports scanners.
There are cons and pros for everything.
