Oh I know. I'm hoping one of the previous purchasers will resell to me.

*edit* By the way. Your project is AWESOME.

Cool device! Have thought to get some in time for Xmas, but I was waaay too late.

Here's an idea: how about adding a BIP 122 blockchain: link in a addition to the predefined Block Explorers to check the balance?
See BIP 122 for details: https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0122.mediawiki

Thanks!

We are looking into it, if we can make it  happen, it will be on the next version.

[MarcoPon]

Brilliant! Thanks.

So is there going to be some sort of boxing day sale just like what you got for black friday?
Might be interested in getting one of these then if can be had for some bits off.

ULTRA SECURE: The private key is generated inside the device, and is never known to any human, not even you!

So what happens when you "Damage" the device? and do not have the key?

Funds lost forever??

How Is the device protected?

Is the source code (open source) or has the code been reviewed by anyone?

Looks a interesting product but not knowing the private key.. That could become problematic.

I noticed you said that a hacker would have to spent $100's to do any digging into the device. In the world of cybercrime we live in these days there are many reversing / hacking groups out there. a few 100 $ is not a lot to work out how to hack a hardware bitcoin wallet. You must always think there is someone smarter with a bigger budget round the corner reversing your work.

- 100's of thousands to digg into a single device

Announcing: OPENDIME v2 – Now *Genuine Verified* Bitcoin Credit Stick

Jon Matonis compare these to bearer bonds with plausible deniability. I agree

[OROBTC]

...

The new version 2 looks very nice, I will order some in due course.  It really looks great!

But, I have an observation: Opendime is already more than half way there to being a hardware wallet.  Yes, I understand the "bearer bond" nature of the Opendime, but perhaps the time should come soon for an Opendime Hardware Wallet.  I like the idea very much of simplicity and a cheap device.

The only issue I have with the devices (and I have some Opendimes) is that once you get the Private Key by breaking the seal, you have to import the keys into another real wallet, and apparently some wallets (HD?) will not allow importing Private Keys...  Am I wrong on this? 

Perhaps a +/- $20 Opendime Wallet that is is simple and cheap would be a great seller.  Even if the device would only be used once or just a few times, a real wallet would likely be of interest to me.

Question:

Once the hole is popped , It can still be used as a wallet  , funding and withdrawing multi times at will ...??  correct...

I wonder if NFC could be incorporated into these in the future....
