meet the hardware wallet that looks like a game boy and possesses the ethos of a seasoned self-sovereign vet

the keycard shell understood the assignment.

because it's not about the looks, the cool factor, or some other shallow thing other hardware wallets might advertise.

it's about the mission.

and there's no other hardware wallet as true-to-ethos (sic cypherpunk) and self-sovereign as the Keycard Shell.

it combines the best of:

• NFC chip card form factor for tapping on-the-go while securing your private keys
• QR code based signing (when card is inserted into the Shell) for FULLY AIRGAPPED security
• using an S-tier battery design choice (it uses nokia BL-4C batteries aka brick phone batteries that can be swapped out in seconds and purchased freely on the open market)
• being radically open source (it's so open, you can literally manufacture your own ????)

honestly, it's not much to look at. it's a cross between a retro game boy and a 90s calculator.

but the see-through body is akin to a beautiful metaphor for the Keycard Shell — the premise of its security model is that it sits out in the open with nothing to hide.

what's r/ethereum's thoughts? can you get behind this clunker aesthetically for its mission-driven design?
