Hi everyone,
BlackBird Wallet is a new hardware wallet that we are developing which we believe has far better features than any of our competitors. It's got a really great design and superior security. The three security features take the BlackBird to the next level:
- It's Completely Air-gapped and is safe from key-loggers, viruses, and bad actors trying to access your crypto through hacks and other methods.
- It uses Optical Key Transfer so you know exactly who you’re sending to and receiving from. It Protects against accidental mistyping / mispasting of addresses.
- Finally, there is the round trip security feature, where you create, send, and receive a transactions without leaving the device. There's no need to trust third-party software or networks.
We're out of stock at the moment, but as soon as we can get more units out there, we really hope to create an unparalleled device that protects your private keys.

AmmbrTech? If so I did make a post on another topic you made asking some questions.
The video and the website doesnt exactly explain all that much to show how it sends and receives coins, what functionality and features it has, is it open source, does it has a api or a kit people can use to implement their own coins or functionality with the device, what processor is used as well as the chip that stores the seed, etc. Unboxing videos without showing the exact use doesnt help all that much, and the website, while it looks good (to an extent) doesnt provide as much details. To top it off, the price is way to much without real justification behind it.
Since you did mention some functionality, I do would like to ask how does it justify the price? Bluetooth in itself does have its own risk as well while something like trezor/keepkey and ledger, while can be connected via usb, has security features builtin to prevent many different type of attacks. In trezor case, you would need the pin (and passphrase) to sign a transaction, retrieve the xpub, etc. They make sure the user confirm the address and transaction as well. Plus not every pc is going to have bluetooth while every pc will have some type of usb port. Taking that away pretty much limits the device to mainly the mobile market, which not everyone is going to want to use just to send cryptocurrency. Bring the price down a bit or add usb support because in my eyes, I see a clone of the ledger blue (which imo has failed in many ways at this point, mainly due to the company lack of support for the device, but thats a different story) with limited functionality, and the product may not go long without usb support.
What hardware is being used for the device and is the firmware (that is open source?) based on an existing project or your own? Is it available via github and if so could you provide a link?
