  • Super secure BitCoin storage

    I wrote about multisig with different hardware wallets something more than a year ago. Back then It was awfully complicated and I didn’t really get it working. A lot of progress has been made since then. The functionality was added to electrum last summer for trezor. I couldn’t test it however because my two trezor […]

  • keepkey premium bitcoin hardware wallet

    I’m always interested when a new hardware wallet is announced. Naturally also for the keepkey. In contrast to most competitors, they didn’t take pre-orders.

But a regular SmartCard alone only protects the keys. If […]

  • Trezor BitCoin HardwareWallet

    Today I received my Trezor BitCoin HardwareWallet. When I ordered it in June 2013, the expected delivery Date was October. But as it happens all that often with BitCoin related hardware, the dates get pushed back. They offered a device with plastic case for XBT 1 and one with an alloy case for XBT 3. […]
