Thank you for coming here once again Zack! As someone who likes the whole concept of your product, could you share some details/road ahead regarding selling directly to consumers in Europe? Currently, according to one of your resellers[1], the price for a Batch 2 devices is 350 €[2] which makes a high barrier for entrance for users that may even like the product but the price is outside what they would like to spend on such device when they can, for example, buy a Trezor Model T for ~ 210 € - this difference is particularly important in the times that we currently face with high inflation and extreme energy prices in Europe.

The current price in USA for the device is $249 which translates to ~ 241 €. Considering your business model, I don't see it possible to happen in a foreseeable future to have two parallel assembly factories in both USA and Europe so that you could try to decrease the price between each regional area. However, I would like to ask if there are any plans to have a fulfillment center in Europe that could allow you to ship directly to EU customers. This is a similar approach taken from Trezor[5] - and Europe based company - where they have a fulfillment center in USA that allows them to ship their products directly to consumers (of course they still have resellers[6]) but I think that having a fulfillment center in Europe would contribute to have a smaller difference between USD and EUR price.
