Unlike traditional banking where clients have only a few account numbers, with Bitcoin people can create an unlimited number of accounts (addresses). This can be used to easily track payments, and it improves anonymity.

It probably would not be hard to program the actual Yubikey algorithm into it, at least the most commonly-used one. It's basically just a HMAC SHA1.

or have it become your truecrypt boot key. marked

This is awesome! I use Yubikeys in static mode all the time for this.
I'd love to solder this together with my kid but I have no idea when it comes to the "flashing" stuff you're talking about. Do I need any extra equipment for that?

This kinda thing does not have much power(just 1 password?). what would be useful would be a plugin on keepass that sends the keystrokes over usb. this could be the raspberry pi, a laptop or a desktop or whatever.

It should be a base for infinite passwords... example #1 : insert DIY key then type 'cat' for your login example #2 : insert DIY key then type 'dog' for your browser security password continue infinitely

Point is, the device useful for many different passwords, not just one, and it can be considered a poor man's two factor authentication (have something, know something). The key gives the first complex piece, your memory and typing gives it a second, easy to remember, and variable piece.

Flashing is the way you load the software on the microcontrolller. The ATtiny85 can be programmed by many programmers. For example: https://www.adafruit.com/products/46

Thanks, I really like this kind of thing. But it is far-fetch to call it a yubikey since it only send static passwords. Yubico YubiKey The YubiKey, manufactured by Yubico, is a device that acts as a USB keyboard and provides secure authentication by a one-time password that is encrypted using the AES encryption algorithm with a 128-bit key.The Yubikey has four modes of operation including Standard Yubico 12-character ID + 32 character OTP, OATH 6 or 8-digit OTP for use with third-party OATH servers, Static pass code including 1-64 character for legacy login applications, and challenge-response functionality using client software. Edit : As much as I like this topic, should this be considered Off-topic ?

This is cool!
I'd be willing to purchase one of these if I knew where I could get one from.
