Private keys are pre generated by the manufacturer. Very crazy IMO. I think it is a shitful wallet.

Yeah, I agree that pre-generated private keys is crazy...
I can see scammers using this in their advantage.
I do agree that we need some easy wallet for masses, but not like this.

Also, whats up with this beta testing?
I tried to apply few times and It is simply NOT working.

Most probably this is worst way to go for spending your coins or may be loosing them in this case! In the world where people drive crazy due to money, how one can trust pre-loaded cards like that.

If you seriously want to do cold storage then why not just make an one time investment over ledger's so that you can store multiple currencies in single wallet itself.

Using those metal cards would be so difficult. I mean each time I need to load it, I will have to buy newer card. What's the ease of use here ?

I got one of these for free after attending an event in Shanghai where Bobby spoke.

People mentioned at the time about security issues with pre-rendered private keys, which were valid complaints that I hope have since been addressed by the company. I will say that it is beautifully made and would make a very nice way to gift someone a modest amount Bitcoin if security fears have been negated.

Brilliant thought. In any case, how might they guarantee us that this item is sheltered? We are discussing a card that has its unique location. While this is often incredible as an idea , we do not have the foggiest idea that these keys weren't duplicated.

Plus lol, aren't they beautifull crypto goods to collect for the pleasure of it Wink

...

That's the only reason why I would consider to buy that card but won't use it for the original purpose to store any coins on it, because of the above mentioned things...
The card is pretty cool looking but that's all, you can't stop the greed, if this card becomes widespread among people, sometime an employee of the company will realize how much bitcoins are loaded to the cards and their system is developed by humans, and humans are greedy... They will find a way to take some bitcoins, not all bitcoins of course, but that's the way life is...
So it will remain a fancy collectible thing for bitcoin lovers

Using it as a collectible is the only thing we can think for now, since we can't still determine if this is safe or not.
We can't guarantee bout its safety, there are a lot of questions to be answered and considered before we can guarantee that this is safe. Since passphrases are not auto-generated, it is already been coded in the card before its user can use it. It is possible for them to have a copy and that is really disturbing. It is a nice idea, only if it is only connected online to generate passphrase and not coded before even being handed to its users.

If I were to buy this product, I will also use it as a collectible because of how cool the product is.

Are there really people on this forum that think Bobby Lee would create a faulty product? How spotless does your reputation have to be in this industry? Seems like many people get all excited about things like bitconnect but then chastise the authentic core players who offer the market place real value.

How does Bobby Lee pronounce it? Is it ball-ET, or ball-EY? Maybe he pronounces "wallet" as, wall-EY? Funny name for a wallet. Or wall-EY. Hahaha.

Hardware and open source software solutions.

Hey

It look like the Ballet wallet is more like a ColdStorage wallet rather than an hardware one.
So yes, it can be compared to the ColdKey card.

But the Satochip card (Satochip.io) is really a hardware wallet.
Keys are generated and stored into the secure chip and never leaves it.
You can create multiple address and it support all the Bitcoin, Litecoin and Bitcoin Cash features.

All these projects aim the same goal : easy crypto adoption.
The card form factor is really cool and people like it because they use such cards everyday !

I think the Satochip Shop will be open this week

Just for your information...

I have been going through the discussions from the start, but I believe this is more of a collectible card rather than using it as a wallet in larger masses. If it was to be a wallet, it could have been made without any number limitations like Ledger Nano. People not trusting on pre-funded coins should also have a read on crypto collectibles as well. There are 10-100 BTC pre-funded Casascius coins out there without being peeled and neither of these casascius coins have been a problem for any of the collectors AFAIK. The collectible market is little expensive at times with a 1 BTC first day funded Cas coin going for 6 BTC (approx) and a Kialara Moon suite going for over 3 BTC in auctions.

I am not against any of the tech experts bad thoughts on physical ballet cards and physical bitcoins as a whole but they are one of the section to be explored for sure if someone is present in the cryptocurrency space. Though if I order/buy one in future I would never use this as a wallet, but it would be very much better to have it as a collectible good. At times, my thought is that it's far better to invest in crypto collectibles instead of highly volatile bitcoin. I never use bitcoin as a investment thingy but as a currency for global transactions. Cryptocurrency collectibles increase in prices over time and are not related to the bitcoin prices which will be very helpful during massive volatilities. Wink
