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.
