SATOCHIP The Times Limited Edition HW cards!

[dkbit98]

I would absolutely do that.  There needs to be something permanent and collectible to commemorate the Club, Foxpup, and our Bacchanalian gatherings by the full moon's light.  

Seriously.  A Satochip would be the perfect way to do that.

I will see what we can do about that, but I guess we all first need blessing from Foxpup herself, and than you need to tell me how many cards you would like to order in total.
It's best to send me PM with more information about that, or I will forget about it during upcoming holiday season.

Huh, didn't know that.  I bought a card reader a while back for the Satochip I got and thought it was a proprietary thingee.  Then again, I don't think I have anything that would be able to read one, so it turned out to be necessary.  Good thing they aren't expensive, which surprises me in a good way.

So you already own Satochip cards and you tested how they work?

I think that only few more bitcointalk special edition cards are available, but only with quote #4, all others are out of stock.

I will do so soon--and I'm curious as to whether any other members of the esteemed Cycling Club campaign are interested in this.  Truth be told, I don't even know how many there are.  At the gatherings it's so damn hard to see through the ballroom mask.

So you already own Satochip cards and you tested how they work?

You quoted me but it looks like you said it (just saying).  But yes, I bought a regular Satochip sometime last year I think along with the card reader, and I like it a lot.  The only thing I don't care for is that you need to use an old version of Electrum....and I'm not sure if there's a workaround for that or not.

The Satoshi Edition Satochip has arrived, after waiting for over a week I finally have this card now.

The design and quality of the card is quite good and the details are quite clear as shown before.

My final thoughts are on this special edition card.

The Satoshi Edition Satochip has arrived, after waiting for over a week I finally have this card now.

Awesome--thanks for posting pics.  I guess there wasn't such a need for a holder as I originally thought, because it looks like the card is well-protected to begin with and on top of that they included one of those sleeves.  Very cool.  I don't think when I bought a regular Satochip that I got a sleeve included, but I used a Ballet wallet plastic snap-shut case and it fits perfectly.

And now I'm kicking myself for not realizing there were more cards in the series than just the first.  It sucks not having a friggin' brain sometimes, I swear.

We are soon approaching January 3, and exactly 15 years ago there was famous The Times Newspaper released.
My idea was to celebrate this event with Special Edition Satochip cards, and we came up with something interesting.

Information from this newspaper was included in original Bitcoin Block:

Satochip made special pack with two cards that include Satochip and Seedkeeper cards, so you can use one as hardware wallet and other as seed backup.
Combined this two cards make front page on The Times from January 3, 2009.

This is how the cards look like from both sides:





You can purchase this Satochip The Times Edition pack on their official website for €50 or around 0.001327 BTC ^{(some altcoins are also accepted with Coinbase commerce)}.

I hope you like the design, but you can post your feedback for potential future card editions.
Like usual I am perfectionist so I had some remarks about this design, and maybe we are going to see dkbit98 hardcore edition cards soon... so stay tuned

ordered my set to add to my collection - thank you for sharing.

Thank you Mopar and I hope you like it
This one is a true keeper for 15 year anniversary of Bitcoin, and I didn't saw anyone making something similar before.
January 3 is in few days and lot more people will be talking about this soon.

Wow, these look absolutely awesome. I've known Tibu's products for a while, but never got one since I strongly advocate for hardware wallets with a display. But if I had seen this earlier, I'd definitely have gotten a couple Satochip X Bitcointalk cards just for the design and playing around with it.

@dkbit98, do you know whether it is possible to use a phone as NFC reader? A lot of smartphones nowadays have this functionality built-in, meanwhile laptops don't. It would be perfect if there was something like an open-source companion app that connects to Sparrow and lets someone use their phone as a reader.

If not, I might give it a go myself, in case there are more Bitcointalk collabs in the future..

Wow, these look absolutely awesome. I've known Tibu's products for a while, but never got one since I strongly advocate for hardware wallets with a display.

There is a way to have display with Satochip card format hardware wallet, but it won't be so cheap anymore.
I will write more about that soon in a different topic, so for now only decent alternative is maybe CoolWallet.
Another way to sort of have external screen for address/transaction confirmation is by using open source Satochip 2FA mobile app, it works good.
That way you are not going to have blind signing anymore with satochip.

I think that NFC reader on your phone should work fine, but to be sure better contact Satochip support for confirmation.
Pro tip: You can easily get cheap but good old Thinkpad laptops that already have integrated chip readers

Are you talking about the Satodime app that is available both for desktop and mobile or does your Satochip 2FA mobile app recommendation refer to something else?

I am thinking that it could be this:
Satochip 2-Factor-Authentication

The first result on Google (not an ad) takes me to this:
Satochip 2FA

[dkbit98]

It's not my Satochip app 
This app is only available on mobile devices, unless you are using android emulators with installed Satochip 2FA app.
Satodime is different app for different product:
https://satochip.io/product/satodime/

This is the same open source Satochip 2FA app:
Satochip 2-Factor-Authentication
Satochip 2FA

[Pmalek]

It's not my Satochip app 

You laughed too soon. I didn't say that the Satochip app was yours. Look again.
'Your' modifies the word 'recommendation', not the 'Satochip app'. In other words, 'recommendation' is the main noun of the noun phrase I wrote previously. 'Your' is a modifier or determiner of the main noun, 'recommendation.

Hi everyone...

Was not paying attention to this thread so I'm back with a few information:

- Our products are all based on the same smartcard and the same secure element.
- We have developed 3 different firmwares loaded on each card, each with a different design. Everything is opensource and can be found here: https://github.com/Toporin
- Cards are dual interface, meaning that they can be used with a chip card reader (contact interface) or with a NFC reader (contactless).

Smart cards need software to be used. To date, we have developed the following open-source software:
- For Satochip : DESKTOP ONLY (natively integrated with Sparrow Wallet, Uniblow Wallet and soon Electrum) + a 2FA mobile app that act as a detached screen to confirm, on your mobile phone, your TXs.
- For Satodime : DESKTOP and MOBILE
- For Seedkeeper : DESKTOP ONLY (we will release a mobile app in a few weeks).

Conclusion: you can use each cards with NFC but you will be only able to use Satodime with your mobile phone.

Feel free to reach our Telegram channel for more in-depth discussion about Satochip products and developments : https://t.me/satochip

This topic was created only for special edition Satochip cards, but thanks for bumping it, and maybe you are working on some new card designs
I think there is another topic made by you guys that is used general discussion about Satochip products.

- For Satochip : DESKTOP ONLY (natively integrated with Sparrow Wallet, Uniblow Wallet and soon Electrum)

Sorry for saying this but I tried Uniblow wallet and I don't like it at all, nothing good to say about it.

Conclusion: you can use each cards with NFC but you will be only able to use Satodime with your mobile phone.

For now
