Ah c'est peut etre parce qu'il est totalement autonome aussi 


Ca tombe bien, j'ai le choix de le faire, ou pas 

Du coté des IOU on a eu une brillante démonstration de leur interet par TradeFortress l'année dernière 


Ou peut etre qu'il va évoluer comme ses clones ont pu le faire, va savoir 

Bon celà dit, minuit passé, faut arreter la nourriture 

Euh, c'est moi là où on est en train de comparer un système qui a résolu avec une approximation très acceptable un problème d'algorithmique  très complexe  et un machin que des banques trouvent pratique pour remplacer leur système de compensation interne ? 

et c'est ça qui lui donne de la valeur ? 


A Stellar ? oui surement. Enfin c'est con pour Ripple. Bon celà dit au prochain projet du gars le sac d'or devrait rechanger de main, donc ça va 

ah ben c'est sur que si sa division c'est sa qualité ça peut aller loin  

Stripe au passage, lol, le truc je voulais m'inscrire dessus, ils demandent le numéro de sécu pour identifier l'utilisateur ... là on a atteint des records de KYC jamais égalés en France je crois 

Sinon ils ont fini de se fritter Ripple et Stellar ou ils attendent un troisième fork des IOU ? 

I think that unless we find an awesome deal with DHL, UPS, Fedex and the like (which is somewhat unlikely) we'll stick with national post, which means that from my previous experience it's best to stick to the smallest possible package to maximize the chances of quick delivery (or delivery at all - although I'm eagerly waiting for the initial US delivery reports regarding our next decisions) - also it's quite hard to damage the cards, if you're stuck by lightning they'll probably outlive you 

yes it's great   thanks for the trust feedback, I'm not really trusting this feature of the forum given its great history but I guess it can't be harmful

fun story about the packaging, as you probably guessed we're trying to ship at the lowest possible cost, which is 20 grams. Everything was made to reach that ... and we ended up at 21 grams. Which means more soul for the product, but also more failure  

thanks, I'll pin that to the first post

Don't apologize and keep the questions going, it's good to know what can be improved 

Yes, it will set it up. When you create your account you'll have the option to generate the seed on the dongle.

It's better to do it with GreenAddress or Electrum as this one is going deprecated. GreenAddress (from the Chrome application) should be easier.

thanks ! If you're testing on Windows, you'll probably miss the seed the first time it's typed as Windows takes some time to associate the second driver. In this case, just unplug / plug back twice (that's the kind of details that'll be mentioned on the start page)

nicely done, we should package it with fine french knives for the collector edition

Yes, the clip is basically what makes it thick enough to stay in the port  

you should be able to clip it back

whoops, done.


mmh, that's weird, how did you fold the clip ? do you have some picture ?

yes, with some minimal manual work (HW.1 outputs an hexadecimal seed that you'll need to convert to a mnemonic)


Good  sorry the start page is not ready yet, I'm waiting for catchy videos, but GreenAddress setup should be straightforward - in any case don't hesitate to ask around if you're stuck.

you can use it with any software supporting deterministic wallets and the right derivation path (if you're using GreenAddress or Electrum, you can just restore the seed into a software wallet or another card)

It's done already, just not released yet, but it works if you get it from github.


You get an option to read the seed right after it's generated, then you can setup the card (or another card) with a seed you provide yourself.

A bit late to the party, but good try nonetheless 

Do you have any kind of specification you can share ?

Especially, how are you generating keys ?

you already have some tested ways to buy a prepaid HW.1 card which are described in the specification - either remotely, by locking the card to a PIN before it's sent (see 'forward setup' in the setup command), or locally, by splitting the seed in two parts to make sure the merchant is honest (see 'point of sale' in the setup command)

buying a prepaid card immediately available in a store is a bit more complex, because you have many parties to protect against, but it's quite possible to design a custom version for a specific vendor scheme.
