Have some patience.

I believe there is another hardware wallet that is already available.


Wait, wut?  You want people to give you money because you are demanding certain services/products to exist for bitcoins?  Hahaha, everybody on this forum should be a millionaire then  .

Sorry but trezor is not a wallet it is simply a way to store your bitcoins safely. A wallet for me is a single purpose device that you can use to safely send coins to other wallets when you are connected to the internet.

Sorry but I can't any keyboard on the trezor to type the amount of money you want to send nor do I see any wireless capability. Trezor is only for techie people not the average joe.

dude, GTFO !

Yeah sure, keeping the coins in wallet.dat is much better instead

facepalm.

For those who think that there is no market for such a device, just put yourself in the place of someone who dosen't know anything about computers. Those people have three choices and all of them have drawbacks.

1) use a browser/computer wallet  = computer could get hacked.
2)use an smartphone wallet = smartphone could break, possible malwhare, accidently deleting app (i have seen it a lot)
3)use tresor = a noob would and understand and you would have to connect it to a computer to get it working.

however a true single purpose hardware wallet that coulse wirelessly theter to a computer to get internet connection would not have any of those problems and also you could just give them to friends, family.

Why insisting on the wireless part ? Again, wireless pairing on arbitrary devices is not easy.

Your options :

NFC : cool, how many desktop computers support NFC ? how many smartphones support NFC right now ? And do you really want to keep both devices glued to each other while the transaction is performed ?
Wifi : ok, how do you enter the passphrase, how do you retrieve the device IP, how many desktop computers use Wifi too ?
Bluetooth : pairing is not trivial either.
Zigbee : not deployed.

USB : connect, no setup, done. If you get a device and a USB cable, I figure people will know what to do with it

That is exactly what I was thinking however if we put a bit of money together we could build a much cheaper alternative because

1) no need for gprs/edge/3G
2) no need for full touch screen, a candy bar* design would be better since all you have to do is type numbers and click send.
3) no need for speakers or microphone.

If they are under 20 dollars each you would be able to buy one for whole your family and friends!


just make a usb wireless dongle specially made to work with the hardware wallet. That will make it very easy for stores that want to accept bitcoin because all they will have to do is plug the dongle and start sharing internet.

*candy bar design is like dumb phone design.

20 dollars might be too expensive but it will be a huge improvement over what we have now.

you are right I should not have begged.
