They claim to be the world's first Physical wallet , so I'm not sure if you should add it or not but here you go : http://opendime.com/ (It's made by Coinkite)

Just checked their website and can't even see how it will look like their physical wallet. Their facebook link does not work, their tweet is 6h ago. I'm sceptic about this but lets see reviews on May/June when they will ship these.


The site is working now.  Here is an image from the top of their Home Page:

The info looks kind of impressive for a one-time use wallet, although $10 each seems a little expensive.  Still, my imagination is captivated...

And $10 for a one time wallet is rather expensive. ($35 +$5 for three)

KeepKey refuses to allow passphrase protected wallets in Chrome like Trezor always has. If your KeepKey seed is stolen so are your bitcoins. Now realize the same applies to Trezor, which is why smart Trezor users always use a passphrase on top of the PIN. With a passphrase protected wallet if your Trezor seed is stolen the thief gains nothing without the passphrase.

KeepKey says if you want a passphrase protected wallet you have to jump through hoops installing python dependencies for Electrum-2.6.3. I have done it see directions here and it works but Electrum is a pain to use with KeepKey. For some reason KeepKey makes it intentionally difficult to password protect wallets while Trezor makes it simple and even recommends you use a passphrase. That is why I no longer use my KeepKey. I either use Trezor or my BitLox.

I'm stupendously honored to be included in this commentary.

By the way, the problem with the key "feelings" in the first BitLox units has been vanquished. It was over-application of the glue by the assemblers, and the extra circuit board for the keypad needed to be trimmed back for the battery. This results in a practically flat faceplate with perfect keypad feeling.

Digitalbitbox uses phone for 2FA but no support for phone wallets as far as I can tell from the site.

Digital bitbox begins sales (limited). Price: $120.

First hardware wallet is the to support libsecp256k1, and that it has a flexible API and full native app.
The hardware device allows for offline transaction signing, offline and anytime backups to a micro SD card, AES-encrypted USB communication, and 2FA support. Users have full control over their private keys; and the wallet is multisig compatible.



When I first heard about digitalbitbox, it looked like it was going to be a simple (not complicated = not many features but easy to use) device.  Looks like my thinking may have been wrong.

I will be very interested to hear user experiences!  I am happy with my Trezor and Ledger Nano as they are indeed rather simple to use, and ease of use is my main criterion after security.

it looks simple enough to me. and it is from switzerland, that is a plus too  Wink
