2025-11-04 22:29:08 GMT

I am still greatly concerned about bitkey as two of the three keys are generated using secret closed-source methods.
Someone please convince bitkey to fully open source their code 🙏
I own three of these wallets so I am not just a random person with make believe concerns.

Maybe you could use this to develop a movie.
The idea would be to share with people who have always been free the concept: It might be difficult, like explaining colors to a blind person, but I think current films have failed to drive the idea strong enough.
Freedom is priceless.

I have been trying to convince some cash-only vendors I pass by everyday to use Square.
They are extremely resistant.
What am I doing wrong?

My main issue with Bitkey is I have no idea on how the keys were generated (I have looked thru the source code but most of it is kept secret).
Allow me to use my own keys/generation please.

Don't get me wrong though - outside of this issue, the Bitkey would likely be my most used hardware wallet.
I haven't put any measurable bitcoin onto any of them, waiting to see why everything else about it is so perfect but this one thing ☹️

The worst part is they claim to be open source and pointed me over to their github which doesn't actually have any information or details on the source of entropy as it is (apparently) based entirely on another organization's hardware. Extremely concerning, considering other wallets both (A) fully opensourced their entropy sources and (B) allow you to choose your own keys:

I am not sure I could ever use Bitkey, considering the key generation methods are completely secret and there is no mechanism for us to choose our own keys (derived from another trusted source).
Disclaimer: I own a stack of these that I purchased at full price to test them out.

2024-12-09 05:25:09 GMT

So it looks like the code is referring to a hardware rng (referred to as "TRNG").
I guess we have to blindly trust it's secure.

Do you have a suggestion for this issue?
Many cities I travel to for work and where I live, they offer cellular over "city-wide wifi". Would this be a potential solution?
I also heard T-Mobile will be using Starlink -- but if I understand it correctly, their towers will be linking to Starlink so the phone-tower connection will still be based off current infrastructure -- and thus will not be any more anonymizing.

I've been using mine 2-4hrs/day, no negative side effects.

For anyone wondering, I believe this is where keypairs are made:

So now I need to find references to this, but github is claiming there are none 😭
I will keep progress updates on this 🧵
It is frustrating that nobody from bitkey is monitoring this, all other wallet providers I have contacted are very active on 𝕏 and have been very helpful 🤔

One of my close friends who has a depression disorder had their recovery buddy commit suicide two days ago.
Apparently the negative content they came across in social media played a large part in their decision.
I understand you may not care about life, but most people do:
So expect negative consequences when you try to harm life.

I am also interested in purchasing one.
I don't know anything about the lightning network, but have been looking for a hardware wallet that supports "ancient" keypairs:
I use vanity addresses as super hot wallets, and nobody currently supports keypairs which is frustrating.
Keypair: A literal public/private keypair; this is in contrast to bip-39 and related types of derivative keys.

I am curious, if you allow people to buy bitcoin, would that resolve the issue?
You could open a marketplace and people can use their own bitcoin as needed (without purchases).
