I would definitely buy a hardware wallet, a cheaper one like the Ledger HW1 and if I am comfortable with it will then go and pass to the Trezor which is more well known, however the Ledger does its job pretty neatly.
When I will reach over 5 Bitcoins I will buy one, its only 60 USD including shipping everywhere in europe from Ebay. It costs more if you buy it from the official website.

However with a lot of multisignature wallets coming out as you say, the market share of these kind of wallets will go down, and it does not look like a healthy market where to invest and creating a new one, unless you overtake all the competition (almost impossible in my opinion that you do that).

Hi all,

I am doing some research for a Bitcoin company that is interested with developing a hardware wallet to see if it has a viable market. Trezor has some traction, but perhaps only in the existing Bitcoin community. With things like Multi-sig popping up everywhere, do you think this negates some of the pressing need for Hardware wallets? Interested to hear your thoughts.

Nope, or at least not yet.
For my current amounts and needs, current software wallets and paper wallets are fine.

For now i dont think i will ever buy or even use a bitcoin wallet at all. That is only because there are allot of people who are just after your coins. And that is so sad the coin is totally not secured at all so dont think i will use wallets.


I think it is still safe to use bitcoin wallets, unless you are going to show publicly how much your wallet has. Of course the security measures
depends on how you are going to hide your identity and your bitcoin wallet, it's our own role for keeping it safe, and with block chain I think it is safe, that's why I don't prefer to buy hardware wallet.

If you don't feel safe with wallets, and don't using wallet don't even use in future, then what are you doing to safe and store your coins right now? I can see you are in a signature campaign. then how you'll get paid?
do you immediately cash out your btc when you get payment from anywhere?
let me say that this is not a cool idea. bitcoin is not safe 100% but hacking margin is not that high as you thinking.
I think you don't know much about halving and it's benefit.. you should store your coins for halving and take advantage of it..
stealing btc is happening with 2 person out of 1000, it is not that unsafe. and if you use the right security options and use right wallet you'll be safe for sure.

You have no idea what youre talking about i see.  Have fun spamming FUD for a few cents of btc which i will assume you store on an online wallet before cashing out.

Sigh.

Im considering trezor at this point.  The price and the fact they accept btc are factors.

It has advantages but the only downside is that they can be pretty expensive these days and that makes it in my eyes not worth it compared with a paper wallet that is also offline and easy to make.

perhaps bluetooth?

Most important is plug and play on any computer without user action like installing drivers, if it can be done with bluetooth, why not, but USB has every computer and bluetooth only some computers.

The most important function is security though

Bluetooth would decrease the security, because anyone with bluetooth could try to crack the wallet, while with USB one would need physically contact.

Also I think it would increase the energy comsumption and the price. 
i would never buy a hardware wallet it is not trusted there are allot of people who lost their coins trough a bitcoin hardware wallet and that is very bad. that have something to say about the security of the bitcoin.

You cannot really get scammed with a hardware wallet so I honestly do not know what you are talking.
I also never thought about it to be honest but this is because I love my paper wallet.

If you're a true bitcoiner, you will have one.
If you have over $100 in bitcoin, You should definitely have one.
If you trade in bitcoin, you should definitely have one.

A hardware wallet is becoming a necessity for all your traders and bitcoin users out there. It's basically a simplified e storage/air gap. You can't get through it. That's what you need with bitcoin.

looking for a signature campaign, dm me for that

Well I guess, even your a true bitcoiner if you are already contented using bitcoin wallets online. Then for sure you doesn't need it either.
It is not a basis that you are a true bitcoiner if you have an hardware wallet.
How about those people that doesn't see the convenience of having it.

Anyone else interested in developing a <$20 hardware wallet?

They already have awesome security. Easy to use? they really could not make them any easier in my opinion, what would you recommend as you have obviously used them and found them difficult? As for the price, trezor can cost average joe a few bucks but the ledger nano has very nice security and is less than 50 euro, if I remember I paid 35 euro for mine.

Hi all,

I am doing some research for a Bitcoin company that is interested with developing a hardware wallet to see if it has a viable market. Trezor has some traction, but perhaps only in the existing Bitcoin community. With things like Multi-sig popping up everywhere, do you think this negates some of the pressing need for Hardware wallets? Interested to hear your thoughts.


while i can use the wallet in the pc and online, I guess not intend to buy hardware wallet because it certainly would just be a waste of our money. Thank you

Yeah that's what I'm considering too, why do I need to buy for an hardware wallet if I am benefiting from using an online wallet.
And I may just use the money for buying an hardware wallet in other important things.
