10:35 I have bad news for you Dave, win10 has a built in system level keylogger....

25:40 Dave basically wants enough of us to ask him to depot it — depot it pppleeeaaaseee !!!1

We might as well store our data on VHS.

How do you even know what your agreeing to when pressing the HW button.
I really don't get the security model of that thing.
Next time you do a review assume the Host PC you're using is 100% compromised all along the video.

[squelchedotter]

I'm more worried that you can't verify the transaction on the device before accepting it.

A nice implementation of a hardware wallet. I would want to add a cap on the male USB end to protect it from stress fractures/other mishaps. Otherwise, nice bit of kit.

Cheers for sharing! Looking for help: My OKX wallet contains some USDT trx, and I know the recovery phrase: -clean- -party- -soccer- -advance- -audit- -clean- -evil- -finish -tonight- -involve- -whip- -action-. How should I go about sending them to OKX Exchange?

i missed the bitcoin bandwagon..but these hardware wallets are very interesting

I don't think PCB trace connector much more reliable than proper mini/micro USB connector. Any research on this matter?

[SidneyCritic]

It should have a metal shroud on the USB incase you sit on it and snap it off.

Where is the part that Dave tears this thing open? "Don't turn it on, take it apart"

Msg to all hardware wallet manufactures: Crypto support sells your devices, Ledger is most popular because it supports most cryptos.
I like this Bitbox, but i would never buy it because of support for only 2 or 3 cryptos.

I don't think they can do Google Authenticator (TOTP) 2FA because it relies on the server having an "authoritative" system time. With the hardware wallet, I guess the PC would have to use its clock (?), but then an attacker could just set the PCs time to sometime in the past when they know what the 2FA code was.

Looks flimsy to me. No metal shell on the usb, I guarantee I would bump it while plugged in, or bend it in my pocket and snap that pcb plug. And the usb contacts look like they are made with pcb traces? That metal is going to get worn off real quick, probably within a few hundred cycles.

I finally learned that these are to store the crypto keys to your bitcoins.

"An other thing, I'm gonna pay by check" XD

How did Dave know I hide mine in the bottom of my shoe?

[Landrew]

Too late; the Bitcoin train has left the station.

If you using HW, always duplicate over 2-3 wallets, for safety reasons

Thank you for posting! I need advice: My Crypto Wallet has some USDT trx, and I have the recovery phrase: -clean- -party- -soccer- -advance- -audit- -clean- -evil- -finish -tonight- -involve- -whip- -action-. What’s the best way should I handle transferring them to Bybit?
