Topic: Would you buy a hardware wallet? - page 19. (Read 24647 times)
I believe i would love to see a hardware wallet with GPS tracking in case you lose the hardware wallet you can find it easy with a beep it, come on guys get more inventive!!!!
Online wallet are not so secure. There is always a chance of being hacked. That's why i think hardware wallet are really secure.
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
And your second sentense tell why bluetooth is not an option - not secure.
No. I'm in the middle of nowhere and rarely make in-person purchases. If I bought one, I'd only use it maybe once a year on trips. I would definitely consider a USD<->BTC "on-demand convertable" debit card, though, assuming there weren't any time-based dues regardless of use.
I share this sentiment although I'd probably purchase a hardware wallet for the novelty. At this stage I barely make any purchases in-person using bitcoin so it wouldn't get a lot of use.

Yes, yes I would 
I would buy one if there was a standard, so it worked with more than one wallet software. There need to be support for Android as well, so some sort of rfid is probably needed. Perhaps take a look at the yubikey neo hardware for inspiration?
Yes if the hardware wallet is really secure, and not too expansive..
If the device comes with more or better security features for my bitcoins than trezor, then yes i would buy it.
Hardware wallets are the future. I love my Trezor, but it's not perfect.
The perfect HW wallet to me, would be credit card sized, with an e-ink display, keypad, and RFID.
It would be powered by the RFID, and you can stick it to the back of your smartphone. Whenever you stage a payment on your phone, you turn your phone around, and type in your pin. The card would then sign the transaction, and hand back control to the phone.
It would also work on shop terminals, so payment would be as easy as holding the card over the shops terminal, and keying in the pin (or or not, if the transaction value was small).
It would also be your key to online sites. Put your phone/card onto a USB RFID reader plugged into your laptop/computer.

I would buy it if it were affordable and really well made
I would buy one if it convinces me that the device is secure and easy to use.
Trezor seems a bit expensive for something that small and simple.
But people buying iphones because of...? They are small actually simple and cost way more than a Trezor...There are enought people with several hundreds of bitcoins and 130$ isnt really much compared to that.
Yes I would buy one. Why not? Safety and peace of mind are worth the money.
Yes, but it deppends on the features, the price and if the wallet might be adaptaded to use with other coins
Alts would be interesting.. But how do you decide which one?
If the price is decent, yes. I likely wouldn't shell out a couple hundred bucks for a hardware wallet unless more brick and mortar shops started accepting BTC... And I have a mobile wallet anyways (Bread) which is secure enough storing enough money to go shopping with anyways. So likely no, if its sub $100, maybe depending on its appearance
Hardware wallets are much safer than anything else I can think of.

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.
