Welcome to the forum! I see you guys are taking the competition directly to hardware wallets, nice marketing stunt, but I hope you can prove it. it's opportunistic to leverage on the current ColdCard hack to market your product. Maybe you'll start attending to the numerous questions left unanswered in this thread to show proper client support.

You've made lots of claims your landing page and I'm interested in how you guys achieve quantum resistance and how your product encourages users to abandon hardware wallet, I've signed up for your wait-list, let's see what you ship us upon launch, I wish you well.

I agree with the guys that it is important not only to think about multiplying bitcoins on the negative side, but also to ensure that this balance does not become empty because hackers turned out to be smarter or because AI found a new loophole. It seems to me that the topic of crypto security has been especially loud in the last month.
It was louder because of the ColdCard hack. This was still an eye opener to every wallet provider about the ability of AI-driven systems to spot vulnerabilities easily and place wallets at risk of being exploited. Over the last month, lots of bug fixes have been recorded across popular wallets like Trezoe, Ledger, Sparrow, Bitbox e.t.c and they've taken their internal audits and bug bounty programs more seriously. I believe 🔓 Lock is taking account of all these and are coming up with a special wallet package that would displace the HWs and back up their several claims of bringing a better solution to self-custody of digital assets.

Well, we have been seeing no response from madebylock on the forum for a long time. So I myself recently did some analysis on Lock.com, which is basically a project of Quantography Labs. So I am sharing with you what I found from my analysis,

In a normal hardware wallet, we have to buy a physical hardware device and depend on it. Lock.com removes this dependency. It converts the old or spare smartphone in your house into an air gapped signer. That is, you do not have to buy a new device. And the data transfer is done only through QR Code scanning. As a result, there is no direct digital communication between the online and offline devices. However, first you have to download the app from the internet to set up the offline device.

The thing is that you will have one device online with which you will mainly transact and another device will be completely offline which will mainly be used for approval (QR code). Just like we see in Google Authenticator.

That's right, I'm also sure that Lock should take into account absolutely all these fixes. I caught myself thinking today that we get news about AI audits almost every day now. And the news from OneKey and how they are testing Ledger, and the like. All this forces Bitcoiners to look for alternatives to hardware wallets. And Lock looks great because they even promise resistance against the quantum threat, protection from which has become a new trend this year. We all see how AI is developing rapidly, and I hope that in the future the Lock team will delight us with new announcements and succinct news.

currently are not directly immune to ]
It has been about two weeks since I applied for access, but I haven't received any email notification confirming my acceptance.
Have you received a reply?

I don't think they're sending out email notifications for acceptance, if you've already applied with your email to get early access then you're already on their list, incase you want to confirm try applying with same email, you'll get an indication saying "Thanks. You're on the list". There's also an indication under it that says "Comimg Q3 2026" maybe that's when they plan to launch fully so be patient and wait for them to fully launch their project.

The project that ordered the signature campaign here on bitcointalk cannot be called dead in any way. Because there would be no point in paying for nothing for it. I went to the X Lock team and there is a post today that summarizes the meaning of all their posts for the month.
In general, he also carries the idea of Lock, which asks all Bitcoiners to think about maximizing the preservation of their bitcoins. And given today's realities, I agree with the guys that it is important not only to think about multiplying bitcoins on the negative side, but also to ensure that this balance does not become empty because hackers turned out to be smarter or because AI found a new loophole. It seems to me that the topic of crypto security has been especially loud in the last month.
You are right and I also never called them dead. As a matter of fact, you used the word dead, if they are paying the participants, they are doing it for a reason, no one has extra money to spend like this in high inflation like this.

Maybe you were not following the increase in the number of hacks in the DeFi sector, but it has started since the start of 2026. Every week or day, there was a new hack, I was reading all those hacks on the other forum, some of them were also reported here and in my local community too.

Those hacks were a lesson for Bitcoiners as well that we should do something about our security, instead of depending on a single kind of wallet we should use more, diversify our Bitcoins and hold them in different positions.

Did anyone notice that Lock claims to have a pretty interesting crypto backup system? Instead of the usual 12 or 24 word seed phrase, they are talking about using 256 universal emoji. These will be mapped to 42 languages, so even if the language changes, the original encoding of the backup will remain the same.

What is even more interesting is that they are combining this with 272 bit quantum safe entropy, so that the backup will be safe even against future quantum computers. The concept is quite futuristic but how strong its security is in reality remains to be seen.

...

I think there is no fact that relates your research to their inactivity. Everything is already online for the public to understand, and for now, maybe the team may be busy developing the backend function to reduce the vulnerability. But thanks for sharing your research or opinion with us. You said it is making us independent of physical hardware devices, right? On this point, I would like to ask you some questions.

Does this mean we don't need to be more dependent on any other alternatives? And what do you think about the platform which is offering its service not owning any information as a medium of service provider? Is there any possibility that Lock will have any information regarding its users' data?

Since this is not fully released yet, I can't say for sure. But I will say that whether a user will take it as a complete option or not depends on his own Security Need. For a normal user like me, it might be a good option.

Quote
Is there any possibility that Lock will have any information regarding its users' data?
The main principle in the crypto world is "Don't trust, verify". However, since they are claiming this project as open code (don't know if open code and open source are the same) , there is a little trust in the field. Because any good programmer can verify their code later if they want.

You get that confirmation even from the first subscription, you don't need to try again to see it.

There's not really much need to inform you via email of your acceptance, although I view it as a hospitable approach. They'll most likely contact all subscribers via email when the software is out and might include a link to their official site to download the original version of it.

....
Lock comes with a different approach to wallet system and security. It would be revolutionary if they ship a great product and can convince the community to choose them instead. There was a time hardware wallets was able to convince investors to take their keys away from their regular devices, Lock can still bring a product that would encourage people to choose them. I'll still recommend Lock don't totally isolate themselves from hardware wallets, but have a option where people can use their hardware wallets to sign transactions using their software, it would help draw more people to their product.

Yeah, it's an interesting approach and I think if others have seen it, they'll consider to do the same thing. Although I don't know yet technicality which is better but, something new is welcomed to see if it will be better or not.

You get that confirmation even from the first subscription, you don't need to try again to see it.
As long as it says that you're in the list, you should be fine.
