Here are some of the things we've accomplished in the past month:
- We've completely rewritten the firmware to be event-driven instead of polling-based
- We posted our source code on http://github.com so that you can see that Piper generates it's bitcoin keypairs in a secure fashion
- We've printed over 500 paper wallets for testing
- We designed an enclosure and went through 4 manufactured prototypes of it
- We built a shopping cart system for the website
- We got a Kickstarter project approved despite an initial turn-down where Amazon payments closed our account due to our product being bitcoin-related
- We subjected Piper to 26 of the Dieharder tests of randomness to prove that the private keys generated by Piper are truly random. And it passed every single one with flying colors.
Please report any errors that you have when ordering using the shopping cart and ordering system on piperwallet.com. We wrote it ourselves and it hasn't been tested on a large scale yet so there may still be bugs. Please bear with us, and feel free to contact us anytime at
