Re: Satochip - Affordable, open source and low format hardware wallet
Yes, our hardware wallet is based on a javacard with a secured chip the same used by bank companies.
This card is NFC compliant. So you can either use a card reader or a NFC reader on your computer.
Have any tests been done (or are any planned) with NFC capable smart phones (and perhaps a modified Electrum client)? This card is NFC compliant. So you can either use a card reader or a NFC reader on your computer.
Would be interesting to see a video of the test. I'm pretty sure any NFC capable smartphone would be able to detect it, but the Electrum part needs some testing, especially the security part. Wouldn't be fun if a bug exist and allows the user to spend without connecting the card to their device.
