STOP USING WINDOWS FFS!


stop browsing the internet or even having browsers installed on any device containing your cryptos.

This is exactly what is holding back Bitcoin.  I now have to have a separate computer for all bitcoin transactions.  And that is unreasonable for the typical sixpack joe.

  The average consumer will just say "heck no, I will just use Visa".

A solution could be a custom ASIC hardware key, wherein the private key is not accessible; it would interface with your (optionally deterministic hierarchical) wallet via USB but you would be require to press a physical button to release signatures.

Wallets would warn when balances are large enough that a hardware key is warranted.

Price could be reduced to a few $ over time.

Is there something like this already available?

I think there are setups for Rasberry Pi for this, but this needs to come down to the consumer level price and plug-and-play simplicity.
