I would give them credit for trying something new, albeit not an idea that everyone agrees on.

I personally like D'CENT biometric wallet. I've used Trezor before, switched to Ledger Nano S for more security, then finally settled on D'CENT biometric wallet.
I am no advocate of certain brand and purely based on my personal experience in using various wallets in the market. The latter is more convenient and easier to use by far.

Each brand has its ups and downs, that's for you to decide based on what your needs are.

I would recommend D'CENT wallet as one of the best wallets out in the market!

Good idea but I don't think that would solve the issue even if the hardware was delivered without working firmware inside because attacker can always use a phishing method to redirect download of customized firmware(malware).
It is true that open source has positive impact on development, but at the same it is also an invitation to the bad guys by allowing more attack path to be discovered. Think for a second why (open source) Android has so many hacks (mostly jailbreaking with custom firmware) and non-open source such as iOS has better security.... it is because the source is managed tight, leaving small room for potential attack paths to be discovered.

For those interested, here is the product's commercial clip on youtube.

Hi guys, just want to share a news on a new crypto hardware wallet with bluetooth and biometric support.
I've been following up on this product for couple of months and they are in the market now.

Found a review on youtube of this device. I think it looks very interesting.
Sharing link below to those who may be interested.

I think not all transactions are based on blockchain, especially if you are using wallet from exchange where transactions can be based on internal DB.
If you had to send transaction to external address, like your own wallet on phone or to hardware wallet, then that would be based on blockchain.
For exchanges, they raise the fee for transaction or withdrawal to cover their operation and maintenance cost. Simply put, they are greedy.

Their wallet website has a pop up to a link where funding is in progress but language is all in Korean.
From google translation, it looks like they will ship the product in early October.
This is a good sign that they are actually manufacturing the product compared to other companies who claim to be working on a product like Giza wallet lol.
Hope someone will write up some review on this product soon.

Hi again to all, much thanks for all the great views on the topic, they are very helpful.

Because I feel and know it is safest that way.

Ah yes, trust is a serious issue and everyone should be careful where they choose to secure their hard earned money(coins).
I've been doing some background research on the maker of this device (IoTrust). They are based in the silicon valley of South Korea and the members are apparently very famous in the country as leading security experts trusted by Telecommunication giants and Financial institutions.
I am also in the IT industry and know by first hand how difficult it is to earn trust especially from Telcos and Financial institutions to do business with them. For me, this is a big confidence gainer in their product, a "security product made by security experts".

A country in great debt = central bank in default = central bank backed crypto = no backing?

In their specifications, the battery is at 600mA, considering how often you would need to keep the device powered on for trading (maybe 10 trades a day?) it probably would last pretty long until depletion. I also noticed there is usb port on the bottom side of the device, so it would support dual interface (USB or Bluetooth) and used for charging.

I don't know about their hardware but looks like they also have their own software wallet application that support multiple cryptocurrencies from a single wallet application, which i think is very convenient. I mean having to manage multiple wallets applications for bitcoin, ethereum, ripple, ... etc. to me were very inconvenient and taking up memory space on my mobile phone which i don't have much of. 

I've used trezor and ledger before and they were difficult to use at beginning. I got used to using them so it's not so much of a problem anymore but one thing that bothers me is that they are bound to PC environment, otherwise, have to use 3rd party applications to sync on mobile.
What do you think?

Hi guys,

I found a new hardware wallet device called D'CENT and looks pretty damn impressive.
Did some searching and found a link to their youtube uploads.
