When we launched a year ago we published Bitkey’s source code, so anyone could see and verify how it works. Now, we're moving to a fully open-source license, so anyone can build with it.

We're building Bitkey to eliminate the trade-offs in self-custody. And not just to bring new people into self-custody, but to make an incredible wallet for bitcoiners, too.
And we're sharing what's next on our roadmap. We want to know what you're excited about and what you want to see next, so take a look here:

You know, one of the things that really hurt Apple was after I left John Sculley got a very serious disease. And I’ve seen others get it too. It’s the disease of thinking that a really great idea is 90% of the work. And if you just tell all these other people “here’s this great idea,” then of course they can go off and make it happen.
And the problem with that is that there’s just a tremendous amount of craftsmanship in between a great idea and a great product. And as you evolve that great idea, it changes and grows. It never comes out like it starts because you learn a lot more as you get into the subtleties of it. And you also find there are tremendous tradeoffs that you have to make. There are just certain things you can’t make electrons do. There are certain things you can’t make plastic do. Or glass do. Or factories do. Or robots do.
Designing a product is keeping five thousand things in your brain and fitting them all together in new and different ways to get what you want. And every day you discover something new that is a new problem or a new opportunity to fit these things together a little differently.
And it’s that process that is the magic.

The hardware goes to sleep after 60s of inactivity, which is equivalent to a reset. USB insertion also forces a reset.
If you’re meaning wipe the hardware, yep that’s on the roadmap!

In hindsight I realize there’s something in our post that wasn’t as clear as we thought and want to clarify. With respect to the license we chose, this is a starting point and what we’re doing now for the reasons we state in the post but we’ll be working on ways to mitigate these concerns in ways that aren’t via a license which’ll allow us to be even more open. https://image.nostr.build/a459d055b81ae7b0b0610619f99425e69d2bde4ce782660517efc9a0a42576cf.jpg #note1cwg…x90r
