RE: New hardware wallet in town

in #bitcoin7 years ago

Dear @ipromote

Thanks for this article. But I really think that those device are not good enough for your crypto and you need to do more research before using one.

Just keep in mind that Kapersky is a company known for their windows antivirus software. Nothing more. Like Norton or Symantec.

They are not specialized in crypto or in hardware.

The ledger wallet might not be perfect, but those Kapersky devices are far from good. I give my argumented advice and more details in my steemit post on this subject.

Sort:  

Kaspersky is specialized in security, and their core product is AV but they do a lot more than that. They have one of the largest and most active security research teams on the planet. They were the first to offer anti-ransomware to unencrypted data.

They have likely dissected more malicious code than most if not all organizations and know how things are compromised.

To say they are inexperienced in encryption and cypto is very short-sighted.

Your arguments are not very convincing.

  • Needs Adapter
    Most hardware wallets use a cable...
  • No physical hole
  • "Classic" hardware
    Full details have not be released for obvious reasons
  • Might not work with iPhone unless you get premium version
    Highly doubt it would only support Android, and so what if you have to spend $99, it's still cheaper than alternatives or in the same price range. Current devices don't even support mobile.
  • Proprietary software
    I'm sure it will support 24 word recovery on any other hardware or software wallet.

It very well may turn out to be a piece of crap but your arguments don't convince me of that.

Thanks for your answer

I disagree with several points, but it's not important (and it's the beauty of sharing through internet !)

We will talk again when the final version of this product will be on the market !

Best regards
