Anyone, besides me, that is excited about tis piece of hardware?
I know Trezor is around, but it´s to techy for the general population.

I would love to hear a experienced guess on estimated price?

Every time a block is mined, a certain amount of BTC (called the subsidy) is created out of thin air and given to the miner. The subsidy halves every four years and will reach 0 in about 130 years.

you can keep all those bitcoins you mined on it with the hardware they have'nt shipped you yet Smiley

Pre order now so they can sell you an upgrade after not shipping for 6 months to a year.

BFL can go f*ck themselves.  

I would never send them a penny on principle!

p.s. nice to see a newbie register and first ever post is just to tell us all about this great new piece of BFL hardware   Roll Eyes

I know they´re terrible at deliver hashing hardware  Wink
but this is a hardware wallet, there´s no loss if they ship it "2 weeks" later then promised.

There is if no shipment at all

And do you really trust your btc with their products?

I mean they're the most incompetent company in the history of bitcoin...... well just a foot behind MtGox.

It's hard to trust BFL with any product they put on the market after their checkered history.

If not sticking to my smartphone, I'd put my BTC in anyone else but BFL for my hardware wallet needs.  Smiley

I like it. I want one. I think Bitcoin needs a non-geek safe wallet for mass adoption. I don't trust my Android phone as Google already lifted my data off that!

But like everyone else says, they've destroyed their credibility in this community, so how do we trust them with our BTC. Undecided

If the BitSafe is 50-60 USD i think they will sell like condoms on Mardi Gras  Grin
BFL don´t give a shit about the community, it´s all about cold hard cash for them.

I will probably order/pre-order one, even if i know it´s dumb... because my mom and dad can´t handle a Android with special apps.
They need something easy, and i think BitSafe might be the solution.

Quote
All the Bitmit listings regarding the Bitsafe and Bitsafe development are now live!
https://www.bitmit.net/en/q/?q=bitsafe

There was also some changes to the description of the main Bitsafe listing. (i.e. Disclaimer now included)
https://www.bitmit.net/en/item/20780-bitsafe-1-1-hardware-wallet-firmware-now-upgradeable-via-usb

Please review these changes and the new listings to make sure you are happy with your order.
Gladly refund anyone in a heartbeat if there is any issue. Also, check if any of the development
accessories are something you are interested in. It would be nice to ship them together.

As mentioned in the OP, I want to support anyone that would like to develop for this open source
project but don't feel like they have the extra funds to purchase a Bitsafe at full price.
Development support from others is of utmost importance for the success of Hardware Wallets
in general. I've included a Bitmit listing just for you. Please purchase this one, and pay what
you feel is appropriate. Hopefully, no one will find this as a barrier to getting involved if they are
serious about improving this project:
https://www.bitmit.net/en/item/20786-bitsafe-1-1-donors-and-developers-version

There has been no Bitsafes shipped out the door yet. Thanks for your patience. I would like to
give everyone a chance to review these new Bitmit listings first and make any changes if needed.
The plan is to ship in mass this next weekend. With a full time job and family, mass shipping will
help me make best use of the extra time I find for this project.

Lastly, I've now included my email in my profile. I dislike the PM system. If you tried to contact me
through Bitcointalk's PM system, but I haven't responded then please try my email. That is still
no guarantee I will reply in a timely matter, but eventually, it will happen.

Thanks,
     Allten

Your parents can't handle an Android app, yet they are competent enough to complete a bitcoin transaction on a standalone device? Doesn't make sense. Do your parents actually use bitcoin, or are you just imagining a happy, bright future where they use bitcoin at the market and gas station?

Mom buys coffee with Bitcoins every morning, except on the weekends  Grin
So yeah, they use Bitcoin. Right now i´ve bought a cheap Android (Samsung), installed Mycelium etc but they complain it´s to "techy".

It would be great to have an device like that, just from an other company.
I think the best solution would be a hardware wallet in the dimension of a credit card.
You can just easily put it in you wallet and sign the transactions over bluetoot on your smart-phone (watch-only wallet).
Its your everyday wallet, not your savings wallet.

The big question here is: Is this project open source?

I like the size of the device, its features etc, but if it's not open source, we have a problem  Undecided

Hopefully this comes out soon.  We need a simple hardware wallet for more adoption.
