We have launched the version 2 of HB01.
As promised, this version has no antenna-physcically no wireless connections, no drivers for wireless commnucations,enables manual input of private key, enables importing of backup wallet files. And we will provide an open source safety-checking app to ensure we have no back door.

this atleast sounds interesting.
I would not trust any device that was not open source. How do we know this cannot be hacked? How do we know that this isn't sending our private keys to the firm?
Is it not an offline device? I thought that was kind of the point of a hardware wallet
a true hardware wallet will only display a signed tx as its output. meaning no other communications go out. and due to it being a visual output (QR code) you can verify by having your computer read the QR code.. and then your computer transmits the signed TX.
just one warning. do not use any privkeys supplied or generated by hardbit. as they may have the solution to the generation code.
instead import your own fresh paper wallet from an offline source (if our that paranoid)
