Today I received my three OpenDime (opendime.com) devices in the mail, which came from Toronto via the Coinkite headquarters. I decided to give the product a review for all you Bitcoin.com readers to get an inside glimpse on how the device operates.

OpenDime: The First Hardware Bitcoin Bearer Bond


The package I received was small and contained three OpenDime devices, instructions, and a sticker. I took one of the devices out of the packaging, noticing that all of them were sealed properly. Although the devices are inexpensive — costing just $40 USD for a three pack — the OpenDime looked very well built.

Its look has advantages. First, cost of manufacturing is cheaper because you are not wasting money on redundant plastic cover.
Plus, from what I read you can tell right away if someone tinkered with this piece of equipment - as I understand it has some sort of physical switch.

But I agree it is not your typical Trezor wallet.

I sure hope it's not fragile because it looks like that to me. Being flat, it could fall on the floor and crack if you step on it too hard, would have preferred if it were a bit thicker.

I bought six of them, and the first day I test-fired one: loaded it with files, sent some BTC, and then went to my blockchain.info wallet to import the Private Key from my OPENDIME (after breaking its seal section) and sweep the BTC out.

I like the device, it's cheap and so far seems OK.  No need to update firmware like I have had to do w/ Ledger Nano and Trezor.

But, it's not a full function wallet.  You need a BTC wallet that can import Private Keys.
