The wallet is a keep key...  I'll start a review thread, and tell people what I think about the concept, and its ease of use for digital nomads.At the moment I've got mildly positive opinions, and I hope that will be justified.

I don't want to ruin your fun with a new device, but KeepKey it is not something that has made many people happy. I've never used it personally, so I can't speak from personal experience, but from everything I've read so far I haven't found too many satisfied users. Maybe your personal experience will be different because you haven't used any other hardware wallet so far so you can't make a comparison.

Yes, the Keepkey is a worthless black bricklet
I think I entered in this giveaway when it was going on and said "why not!" since it was a free one.
But If I knew keepkey was literally a piece of shite, I wouldnt even want it from all the hassle with it passing thru so many hands before it reached to your own.

What do you think of the air gapped wallets?
There are a few:

Discussion about them on an old reddit post from two years ago(there's got to be a more recent reddit about them):
