D'cent 50$ discount code

[OmegaStarScream]

I have a D'Cent hardware wallet discount code (50$) which I just bought from Coingecko.

For more info about the code, or if you're interested in getting yourself (limited supply) you can check this link: https://www.coingecko.com/account/rewards/dcent-biometric-wallet?locale=en

I only have one code, and I'm willing to give it to the first reputable member to post here. Preferably to someone who's interested in reviewing the wallet.

I saw this candy offer on Coingecko website, and it's not a bad deal that makes wallet price around $90 plus shipping, but I never liked all their biometric stuff and closed source code.

It's been a few days since you created this thread but it seems there isn't much interest. I looked to see if D'cent has an official ANN thread on this forum to suggest that you post your offer there. Maybe someone interested in buying it could see your post in their ANN thread. But it looks like they don't have an announcement thread on Bitcointalk.

If you are still giving it away, you can always try to find someone on their social media channels.

Biometric hardware is dodgy at best. Even the Touch ID on my iPhone does not always recognize my fingerprints including when they are completely dry. So I don't see how an unknown hardware wallet is supposed to flawlessly detect your biometrics to unlock access to your wallet, considering that they're probably using cheaper parts than the kind of stuff found in smartphones.

I tried to search what would happen if the biometric failed, but I was surprised by how to recover the coins. They do not use a traditional mnemonic seed, but rather the latest encryption technology, which seems to be another D'cent wallet. It is a very central method in case the device is lost or damaged, and with it being closed source, no one will risk using it.

What is a D'CENT Backup Card?
One of the key conveniences of the D'CENT All-in-One Wallet is its unique backup method. Rather than using a traditional mnemonic code, the private key is backed up using state-of-the-art encryption technology, which securely transfers the private key to a spare Backup Card. This method is both easy to use and highly secure, giving users peace of mind that their assets are protected.
The Backup Card is a hardware wallet with no data inside the secure chipset and it is used for creating the exact same clone of your All-in-One Wallet.

considering that they're probably using cheaper parts than the kind of stuff found in smartphones.

The information mentioned is Biometrics Fingerprint Sensor Resolution160 x 160 Pixels With 8 bit Depth, which looks traditional and may help in recognizing the fingerprint just like on your phone.

Whoever uses this hardware wallet or considers purchasing it, should probably think of getting and setting up a backup card as well. That's the way to protect your wallet in case something happens to the main card. I wonder if users ever get to see their private keys somewhere in the client or if they remain in the dark forever and have to completely rely on D'cent when it comes to their crypto.

$50 is huge discount, considering that wallet itself costs $139. I already have 2 hardware wallets what is more than enough for me, so, not going to take this one, but would be interesting to read review if someone will buy it.

That's good point. Even on flagship phones doesn't works smoothly when it come to recognizing fingerprints. Somehow I doubt that on this wallet it will work much better.
And closed source is big disadvantage, especially when it's not well known wallet with good reputation.

There doesn't seem to be any way to see your private keys, why would you need them? They have latest encryption technology. You're safe, they're protecting you.

Or why that wallet costs $139, they have a small screen, a fingerprint sensor and some cheap options you can build for around $50-60, after the discount it still costs around ~$60.

And closed source is big disadvantage, especially when it's not well known wallet with good reputation.

They can cite convincing reasons for being closed source, but claiming that they have excellent backup encryption technology without making it open source or talking about it in detail is enough reason to stay away from this HW wallet.

I appreciate the irony and sarcasm. But if some newbies are reading this and think to themselves that it's a great opportunity to get a good hardware wallet for a fraction of the price, they ought to think again. If they have no way to access their keys, they must know that their ability to transact with their coins depends on whether D'cent and the entire ecosystem built around it still works. If it stops working, you lose access to your coins. Closed-source has many drawbacks, but closed-source and centralized is significantly more dangerous.

I would've bought and reviewed it myself, but the shipping fees are way too high where I'm at. It's almost as if I didn't have a discount.

Anyway, giving this a bump... the code is expiring in a couple of days. If you're interested, post here or PM.

Since many people who visit this board have some security awareness or being skeptical, i doubt they would waste their money on this hardware wallet. In addition, looking at critical review at their Amazon page[1] would make people re-consider their choice. But few days ago i saw announcement about a website[1] where they review many service and some hardware wallet. If you'd rather not see that discount code wasted, you could offer them your code.
