It's time to move beyond the hardware wallet. 12.16.24

Check out our latest teaser video below. The big announcement is just two weeks away.

https://x.com/FOUNDATIONdvcs/status/1863956827383218623


As far as I can conclude from that short video, it is about a device that should be something more than a standard hardware wallet, right? Can you at least tell us if it is about something that @satscraper mentioned in his post or at least something along those lines?

Now that we finally have an announce date for Foundation new product, I would like to place my hopes that the product would be something related to this idea of mine from some time ago:
Yesterday, out of nowhere, I had an idea/guess regarding this new device you're working on - Would it make sense to be something to co-exist with products such as Ronin Dojo Tanto[1], myNode[2] and others alike? From my perspective it would make sense considering your mission[3]:
Quote
Foundation builds Bitcoin-centric tools that empower you to reclaim your digital sovereignty.
You are already providing a great tool regarding taking control of our money (and data) by means of being total open source, so the only part that is left is making sure that we are safe from prying eyes whenever we interact with that same data (and money). This would be where such devices would enter - taking the same approach that you did with Foundation Passport - such device, fully open sourced as well as their components, would allow to close the circle and cut ties with any kind of intermediate running a node or even blockchain explorers. Total digital sovereignty in it's pinnacle.

I might have gone rogue on this idea but I couldn't stop to share with the community Smiley.

Even if it ends not being this type of product, I'm sure that it will bring another great product into the open source and Bitcoin world, so I'm really looking forward to what it might be.

So you still think it might  be some kind of node. In my view the market is saturated with similar devices and even though it could be not tough task for them to launch new one it would not be "hot ticket" which could shake to the core. Portable, air-gapped SEED generator which extracts true randomness from random physical process could be in a high-demandin my believe.

✨Beyond the Hardware Wallet
I saw this yesterday and it seriously got me interested.


It's Bitcoin related of course  Wink

I have addressed AI and they gave the following options:

1) Mining Hardware I think this is highly unlikely due to many reasons:  lack of the relevant experience, high competition in the field ...

2) Bitcoin Full Node Hardware In my view fifty-fifty.

3) Hardware for Lightning Network highly unlikely, see 1) for my reasons

4) Secure Elements I believe this a wrong assumption due to the lack of experience

5) POS (Point-of-Sale) Systems and/or Bitcoin ATM   I wouldn't believe if they made those stuff .

6) Cold Storage Devices, like encrypted USB drive I think possible, why not.

7) Hardware for Privacy & Security , like Faraday Bags/Enclosures Something possible, I think

8,) Backup Devices Something likely, why not.

What AI didn't mention is SEED generator, based on  physical randomness like Avalanche why not, they are experienced in this. Would be hot ticket if they made portable  hardware version of iancoleman generator.

Can you reveal something or give as a small hint, is it new device related with Bitcoin or not?
Some people think it's a new phone, but please don't use the word CLOCK for it or you can get served by ''someone'' Wink

Thanks, I did it. Everything vent like a charm and my Passport 2 is on the latest 2.3.5. Good that I was not hasty with the update and  discovered from foundationdvcs that the problem was buried into version 2.3.2.

May I ask just of my curiosity what could do in this case those users who have experienced frozen device . Instruction  you have referred to says users should install developer key preliminary to avoid freeze but they will not be able to this if their devices are already stuck. Is there any workaround for such case?

We had an obscure bug that we missed when QAing v2.3.2. Essentially all of the developers and team who QAs Passport has developer pubkeys installed so we can install internal betas and public betas. The bug checked to see if there was a developer pubkey in the slot in the secure element – if the slot was empty, the firmware update froze.

We all missed the bug, as well as all external beta testers too, since to test the beta you needed to have the developer pubkey added!

The firmware update process didn't care what pubkey was in the slot, only that the slot was not empty. If it was empty it got stuck at 98%.

Was very hard to reproduce this, but once we did we quickly understood what happened and fixed it. Sincere apologies for the inconvenience.

I see that foundationdvcs hasn't mentioned yet that in about one month time they are releasing some new type of device or tool.
There isn't much information available at this stage except a mysterious text saying, "Beyond the Hardware Wallet". Based on that, I don't think they will release a new hardware wallet. Could it be something for backing up seeds? Maybe a physical 2FA device?

You can follow Foundation's new page for this update here: https://foundation.xyz/beyond/

They have released an image of the product on X: https://x.com/FOUNDATIONdvcs/status/1856386242805674223
Talkimg is in maintenance mode, so I can't share it here.


You might want to start a new post for this one Wink

That was the unintended bug introduced in 2.3.2, which is also still present in 2.3.4. The device is looking for a key to be present in the developer slot. Most users do not have this present, causing the freeze.




Well the problem is buried into 2.3.2. My Passport2 is  still on 2.3.2 and I want to update it to 2.3.5. What exactly should I do to avoid any freezing? I mean how to add that developer pubkey into developer slot if I prefer to update via relevant  firmware  file downloaded to  my miroSD  card? I don't like to use Envoy for update purpose.

> nope, user clearly said that he was trying to update to 2.3.5 but his device has stuck, so problem do persists when updated to 2.3.5.

That's right, he is trying to update to 2.3.5 from his current version, but failing. This user is not currently running 2.3.5. Once they carry out the recovery steps correctly and successfully install 2.3.5, the issue does not persist and subsequent updates can be applied using the typical method.

Doubt this. I noticed that you prefer to not answer the tough questions like mine above that is not alone in this thread which  leads me to think.... Regarding you new communication channel i.e. community.foundation.xyz it  is factually empty and being such is useless at this point, sorry to say this, anyway it is true.

Please read the comments under the post you linked. It has been answered and the problem does not persist when updated to 2.3.5.


I have read that comment. It states that there is a need to add either the developer pubkey or user's one  to avoid this problem, But why on Earth I have to add any key to update my device to 2.3.5.pfft. Previous updates don't require this.



the problem does not persist when updated to 2.3.5.

nope, user clearly said that he was trying to update to 2.3.5 but his device has stuck, so problem do persists when updated to 2.3.5.
