(Meet the Bitcoin open source badge) A new Bitcoin innovation

[5W-KILO]

I am pretty sure that many people don't know that this cool Bitcoin innovation exists, at first I thought it's AI generated until I saw a video where people are using it in real action and also the link to purchase one via bitronics store.

This is called open source badge or multifunctional bitcoin badge. Sounds cool 😎 right?

This device has Nostr zap integrated, contact card exchange, integrated Lighting wallet, Nerdminer and Seed lab, this is freaking cool.

That's the link to the store, I am not in anyway trying to promote this as I don't know who the maker is in real life, this is to create awareness about the growing innovation surrounding Bitcoin only.

Here is a video clip showing two people exchanging their contact data at Bitcoin Amsterdam.

While i sometimes enjoy looking at how people creating and using DIY device, IMO there's little practical value. Unless both party have same badge, the value is limited to one of conversation starter and show identify page to others.

But i expect some regular of Collectibles board would be interested to buy this badge.

With my bitcoins, I don't look for anything cool, I want something secure and safe enough for my bitcoin fund.

This device looks to integrates many things into it, that looks "cool" but practically I don't want any device to do multiple tasks, especially I store my bitcoin with it.

Anything new and looks cool in Bitcoin industry must be taken into consideration very carefully and cautiously. You can wait for the others to use it, make reviews and let time flies to test it, before you can feel "safe" enough to consider using it.

Seriously this should be one of the things to be firstly taken into consideration, before one starts to transact or store their crypto in any new device or software.

The security of one's investment is very important to be taken seriously before starting an investment, and I don't most people will trust a newly created device type hold their investment for them.

This is also true because for me also to trust and use a newly created device to save my funds, I must need to see the reviews of other users before I can start using it, and will finally trust it and give my review also after a while of successful transactions with it.

Some people like myself can only transact and trust such device if and only if, the OP will try and make some transactions with it for sometime and give his review and thought before they can use it.

From the image I see and from what I know already, this open source hardware is wearable and handles LN payments, Nostr zaps, and instant contact exchanges. This is another upgrade in technology that makes Bitcoin standout from the rest and an sure alot of cyberpunk persona will love to have and use this to full effect. It's good for P2P interactions and my only fear is it shouldn't be one of those hardware that is hacks prone easily since most big fans from some part of the world may need third service delivery to actually get such kind of device directly to their door step.

It's a wonderful innovation really and even though discreet life for Bitcoin users remain key security concern, it doesn't stop anyone from having this for the ease of what it does.

I would think these badges would be implemented as part of the event, as a group thing.   But those conferences are swimming with hackers.  Contactless access and a lightning wallet?  Wow.
