Do you have old Gameboy console collecting dust in some old box of memories? Maybe you like '90s retro gaming items or you are a collector?

Thanks to guys from Keyp you will soon be able to turn your own GameBoy into secure offline cold wallet, generate seed phrase and use it to store Bitcoin and Ethereum.
There will be no internet connection so we can call this a cheap airgapped device that is going to have Open Source code.

Now comes interesting part, there will be NO firmware updates ever, and all updates will be released as a new game with cartridges

Randomness will be generated inside device, and that can be a tricky part, so I would like them to include option of importing our own seed phrase manually.

Wondering who the heck is Keyp?

I don't like they will focus this wallet more on ethereum than on bitcoin, but it is what it is, and this is still a cool project.

Today doesn't seem to be April 1st, does it?

Every day, we learn awesome news. While some hardware wallet manufacturers offer users to share their seed phrase for a monthly payment, others create hardware wallet based on old game boy.

Tell me about it before, what will happen, I would not have believed.

I have a question about the text I highlighted. How will the firmware be delivered to the gameboys's owner if it is released on cartridges? Is this some kind of joke too? Do you need to order firmware cartridges with home delivery? How will the company distribute the firmware? Will they also say that they do not collect information about their customers and do everything on a voluntary basis?

Astrologers announce gameboy week? Sales of old devices in online stores doubled.

In general, I like the trend that the community is starting to look for and create alternative solutions that are independent of big hardware wallet manufacturers. I have long believed that should move in this direction.

Farewell, Leo. You will be missed!

I still have a Gameboy Pocket lying around in my drawers somewhere. What a cool reason to search for it and see if it's still working. Last time I checked, it was, but there were some connectivity issues with the device and cable. Nevertheless, it can always take batteries if the cable fails. The cartridges between the original Gameboy and the Gameboy Pocket should be the same.

Someone who knows what they are talking about should comment if such a device can generate enough randomness? This could be a successful project if it's completely trustless and they figure out how to sign transactions. Question is, how to export the PSBT from the Gameboy's memory or cartridge to a different medium?

My worries if this team provide a rigged cartridge which all the seed phrase in already on their data base. There’s no way for a normal guy like me that doesn’t have enough understanding on code to check if the cartridge is same to generate seed phrase at all.

I don't think they are sending any seed phrases with cartridges, that was not my conclusion after reading all material posted by them.
This is first news in public and they started working on GameWallet few months ago, but I am sure I saw that use generates seed phrase with a button.
I said that I would prefer to import seed phrase generated offline by myself, and I expect them to release everything as open source... I am not messing around with any closed source wallets anymore.

The last thing I remember is, I gave my gameboy to my cousin. If he still has it (chances are slim) then I am going to get it back LOL. I never thought I will have a use of it anymore 🤣

I think Gameboy Pocket would be best as hardware wallet, it's smaller than regular version.
We better think about all retro pocket devices we have hidden in boxes... but I saw someone is making

The idea is interesting, but looking at provided video and reading their video it seems this wallet only can generate mnemonic phrase. I expect all hardware wallet should transaction signing feature, although i doubt it's possible in this case since GameBoy doesn't seem to have HD camera accessory. Without signing feature, i could just run offline Bitcoin wallet on Linux which utilize /dev/urandom.

Just imagine special cartridge addons that includes build in cheap camera and support for miscroSD cards... Frankenstein GameWallet.

I think based on what they said it still under develop and they might add some feature since the old gameboy has link cable they maybe use it to transfer signed and unsigned raw transaction they can convert the link cable to USB adapter using Raspberry Pi Pico.

It's possible and I would like to se that.
I think they picked a perfect time to ask support from community, but I doubt they will release anything this year.
Anyway, I am folloing this project and I will post any updates... unofficially.

Block halving is coming.

This project is pretty awesome just like mining BTC on old gameboy.

Good old days, after seeing the image an the gif on their website, I can recall a lots of memories. Most with Mario and street fighter. The Mario music is still fresh in the mind.

I still have a couple of game boy colored and advance on my collection. This a very cool idea for an air gapped wallet. I mean this is the real deal since it doesn’t connect on internet like what you mention.

My worries if this team provide a rigged cartridge which all the seed phrase in already on their data base. There’s no way for a normal guy like me that doesn’t have enough understanding on code to check if the cartridge is same to generate seed phrase at all.

Thanks for sharing. I already sign up for the first batch. I hope that they can let us choose the game for the cartridge which they will insert the seed phrase generator. AFAIK, they will use the random click on buttons while playing the game to generate seed phrase.
