Hello
I was wondering if anyone has seen the coinkite cold card. i think the features are pretty awesome. looks like it is going to ship Q2 2018. i saw some posts when searching to see if anyone already posted about the cold card, about coinkite going out of business, was that just a rumor at some point?
Here is the link: http://blog.opendime.com/coldcard-annoucement/Features:
NO specialized software required. It looks like a hard drive, so you can drag and drop files into it. NO companion ?app? on your computer, works with the major wallets already.
It?s cheap! Simple packaging, plain design, no fancy boxes, no redundant cables.
It?s ultrasecure! Real crypto security chip. Your private key is stored in a dedicated security chip, not the main micro?s flash.
Easy back-up! MicroSD card slot for backup and data storage. This allows truly offline signing, by transferring the unsigned/signed transactions on sneakernet.
Open source software design runs Micropython and you can change it.
Other features:
Full-sized numeric keypad makes entering PIN easy and quick.
Larger 128x64 OLED screen.
It?s an open platform, and we expect other ?apps? in time, like:
2FA authenticator
Sign text messages to prove control over private key.
Participate in multisig wallets, with other signers.
Encrypt/decrypt secret messages (stored on MicroSD or otherwise).
We are still deciding on the PCB color, stay tuned.
