Hello, I just want to let everyone in here know about our product. It is a dedicated staking device. It uses less than 4 watts of electricity and gets your wallet off of your main computer reducing the risk of viruses or malware resulting in the loss of your coins. It can handle staking up to 5 different coins simultaneously, there are more than 20 coins available for it now, with more in the works. There is no additional hardware or software required, you simply access it via a webpage available from any device on your home network. You could also hook it up to your computer monitor or TV via a standard HDMI cable, add a keyboard and mouse, and interface with it directly. More information is available on our website stakebox.com. We are introducing it here at the SDC thread first, and for the first 2 weeks all units will be shipped with an SDC wallet as our way of showing support for this project. So, go ahead, show your long term support for your favorite coin by buying a device meant to stake your coins for the long haul.
Not a terrible idea, but there's a blatant security issue with getting the device with wallets preinstalled. We've already had a major theft here due to a bugged wallet.
Is this a RPi based device? I think people would be a lot more comfortable with your product if they could load and update their wallets directly and not have to rely on your web interface.
It is based on the Raspberry Pi 2. I understand the concern, If someone chose to download the wallet source files and do the necessary setup to the Pi then they could compile the wallets for themselves and and have more or less the same results, minus the web interface, for a lower cost. This is really intended for those without the knowledge or time to do those things. The web interface is intended to be a simple, quick, way to access and control your wallet. I realize there will be some initial trepidation related to this product, but hope to alleviate those fears over time by putting out a reliable, bug free product. Over the next few weeks we will be sending a few out to some of the more reputable folks in the community to review and share their feedback.
Hello, I like the solution, but I don't like how you manage it :
you use an open source solution and you offer to manage our wallet throught your website : it's a terrible idea. Like Automatic Monkey said we already had some hacking problem with wallet in the community, so it's not against you, but in crypto, NEVER trust a third part. The whole point in crypto it's to control what you own, and the solution you offer have a grey area wich is unacceptable.
BTW, to the whole community, we need to build our secure solution for stacking wallet, and I think Pi2 is a part of the solution. I can't do because I don't have the hardware but I was thinking to a script who auto-update the wallet on automatically when PGP sig will be added (dasource can you confirm?). It's not requiring high skill and can be full open source. Let me know on slack if you're interested
I'm sorry, perhaps I wasn't clear enough, and that has led to a misunderstanding. It is not my website used to control and access your wallet. The wallet is completely on the StakeBox, and the webpage interface is served from an apache server on the device, only accessible on your local network. Once you have it, you have complete control over all aspects of it, I am not hosting the website used to interface with it, and, as I said, the website is just to make life easier for the end user, the wallet can also be used in the traditional fashion with the inclusion of a keyboard, mouse and monitor. I appreciate your feedback, if you have any other questions or concerns, please, let me know.
I totally get it, and don't understand the confusion. It's just like when i mined BTC. using pi's and block erupters many moons ago...You just log into the p's interface over your local area network. It's as secure as your network is, and no less secure than staking on a pc, but with a huge saving in energy, and hardware wear and tear. Good on you mate, and good luck. I love those raspberry pi's and anyone that develops further uses for them.
