I've bought a trezor wallet when they had a promotion last time, and i have to say it is a must have.
Having your bitcoins secured gives you a very big relievement. With the price going up a few bitcoins will be interesting for hackers to hack.

But in hardware wallet there is also a risk, like the possibility of losing it and you are going to misplace it.
So you just need to be careful even you are going to use hardware wallet, still it is not secured and safe, it will just depend on how you are going to use it.

I just found this. I might pick one up. https://www.ledgerwallet.com/products/3-ledger-hw-1
Costs more or less US$16 (15 EUR).

You just found this? I've owned my Ledger Electrum edition for more than a year now, and it's been awesome.
If you want, buy the nano. The HW1 is the exact same, but the physical thing itself feels incomplete, if I may.

lol yeah, I just found that. I don't really use any wallet until I have the need to spend. If I do, I just use Blockchain.info

For now i dont think i will ever buy or even use a bitcoin wallet at all. That is only because there are allot of people who are just after your coins. And that is so sad the coin is totally not secured at all so dont think i will use wallets.

yes agreed with you,its not important for me or you to buy hardware wallet for now,if we feel comfort and secure to use online or free wallet,its should be enough,and i will not make higher cost for my bitcoin devices.

Hi all,

I am doing some research for a Bitcoin company that is interested with developing a hardware wallet to see if it has a viable market. Trezor has some traction, but perhaps only in the existing Bitcoin community. With things like Multi-sig popping up everywhere, do you think this negates some of the pressing need for Hardware wallets? Interested to hear your thoughts.

while i can use the wallet in the pc and online, I guess not intend to buy hardware wallet because it certainly would just be a waste of our money. Thank you

Yeah that's what I'm considering too, why do I need to buy for an hardware wallet if I am benefiting from using an online wallet.
And I may just use the money for buying an hardware wallet in other important things.

I will as soon they make some easy to use, full security and under 20$...
BTC hardware wallet need mass adaption asap

They already have awesome security. Easy to use? they really could not make them any easier in my opinion, what would you recommend as you have obviously used them and found them difficult? As for the price, trezor can cost average joe a few bucks but the ledger nano has very nice security and is less than 50 euro, if I remember I paid 35 euro for mine.

I'm having ideas right now. I'm an ARM/Android dev.

Anyone else interested in developing a <$20 hardware wallet?

If you're a true bitcoiner, you will have one.
If you have over $100 in bitcoin, You should definitely have one.
If you trade in bitcoin, you should definitely have one.

A hardware wallet is becoming a necessity for all your traders and bitcoin users out there. It's basically a simplified e storage/air gap. You can't get through it. That's what you need with bitcoin.

Well I guess, even your a true bitcoiner if you are already contented using bitcoin wallets online. Then for sure you doesn't need it either.
It is not a basis that you are a true bitcoiner if you have an hardware wallet.
How about those people that doesn't see the convenience of having it.

You cannot really get scammed with a hardware wallet so I honestly do not know what you are talking.
I also never thought about it to be honest but this is because I love my paper wallet.

perhaps bluetooth?

Most important is plug and play on any computer without user action like installing drivers, if it can be done with bluetooth, why not, but USB has every computer and bluetooth only some computers.

The most important function is security though

Bluetooth would decrease the security, because anyone with bluetooth could try to crack the wallet, while with USB one would need physically contact.

Also I think it would increase the energy comsumption and the price.

i would never buy a hardware wallet it is not trusted there are allot of people who lost their coins trough a bitcoin hardware wallet and that is very bad. that have something to say about the security of the bitcoin.

You have no idea what youre talking about i see. Have fun spamming FUD for a few cents of btc which i will assume you store on an online wallet before cashing out.

Sigh.

Im considering trezor at this point. The price and the fact they accept btc are factors.

Ledger wallet is pretty good too.

Yes I think I would buy a hardware wallet because it has a lot of advantages if you ask me, its safe and also offline and due to that fact is very safe.

It has advantages but the only downside is that they can be pretty expensive these days and that makes it in my eyes not worth it compared with a paper wallet that is also offline and easy to make.
