Bitkey - Bitcoin Wallet

After using this wallet for about 2 weeks, FULL-time, I highly doubt even Jack Dorsey would / could use / trust his own creation! The name, Bitkey was copied from a great BTC project around 2014! The hardware design is similar to some Crypto Wallet by a popular Korean company! So, we have this App which are the MOST critical - it can either make enough noise so more and more people would buy - OR break / limit the entire crypto experience for both old or new fans! Sadly, this App is as useless as your imagination allows! Once you get things up and running which impressively takes just a few minutes even for newbies - then that’s the end of usefulness of this super expensive BTC only Wallet! There is no screen to confirm your transactions - you depend and count on this App which could and would be easily hacked! Next? You cannot create more than 1 BTC wallet. Just ONE! For the love of Satoshi, this multi-wallet has been the most basic feature of each and every crypto world since forever! More? You cannot factory reset this thing - at least not an obvious / easy way. Their super short and limited tech documentations show nothing! Although they keep saying it’s designed for newbies - highly unlikely newbies would find this wallet useful. I could certainly write a book about all limitations of this wallet but space is limited - for now, however, Bitkey is using early adapters as their mouse lab to test this App! I recommend this wallet for mini hockey fans only!

Easy to use interface. Nice and clean. I would love it if the Bitcoin price would update live. If you don’t close the app down, when you open it again it will show the old price. We need live feed for pricing.

Please add the lightning network

Great initiative! Self custody is great!. Thank you for this awesome app. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️One request: I would like to use Faces Id on the Bitkey app. Also, I was expecting to see the lightening network already in place. Thanks 🙏

Great app but needs the following improvement(s): - xPub export (for taxes this is non-negotiable) - Dark mode - FaceID for app unlock - Needs a built-in estate planning feature — who does the seed go to if the app is not used in X amount of days / years & remains inactive (such as in the death of the owner).

You have to use coinbase to use it anyway it’s basically pointless just another useless unnecessary step

Would love to see the addition of multi custodial option for tax deferred IRA’s Another great option be to have the ability to consolidate UTXO’s into manageable amounts for those periods of time when fees are inflated beyond the value of the UTXO And to defend against receivers knowing how much bitcoin you have

App design is very similar to Cash App. At this point, I’m sold and have bought into Bitkey and the team that built Bitkey. Especially after reading the technical whitepapers outlining the overall solution. I am also very interested where they will take this solution moving forward. Such as future partners, advanced user settings, or a danger zone section like Coldcard. I decided to opt out of the other hardware wallets and custodial solutions in the market. I do have a backup in case things go south with Bitkey, but I think they are going the right direction. One feature I would love is the ability to export seeds.

I LOVE IT

Pros: Clean design. Buying bitcoin from a partner is simple once set up, looking forward to more partners. Con #1: Disappointed Lightning wasn’t put in at release. There were mentions of this early in the blog and could have been done considering CashApp (Block) also uses Lightning. Con #2: Buying bitcoin from a partner (Coinbase) is expensive because you’ll have to pay the network fee + an extra partner fee. Yes the process is easy but I thought there would be more integration not just an automated buy+send feature. I can only buy from coinbase now? No cashapp option. Con#3: No ability to view public address. Easy to track a public address for tax purposes but now have to view each transaction as a separate wallet
