>> The benefit of our device over traditional web wallets is security. Our devices are embedded. Everything that we wrote lives on the firmware. You don’t have to trust any app.<p>Errrr.... 'embedded' does not mean secure. While you may not have the full software stack of, say, Android or iOS, that doesn't make it secure by default. There's a network interface, some sort of processor, a variety of input devices etc.<p>I would hope that before making claims like "malware/virus proof" they would get both the hardware and software audited, as credit-card terminals generally have to be.
Sell me a $100 set of cards, one that's fancy like this, but makes its own bitcoin transactions, no cooperation with a service provider like Case, and one less fancy one that just holds bitcoin private keys. You put the less fancy one in a safe at your bank, and you use the fancy one for your daily business. If you ever lose the fancy one, simply buy a new one, and load it up with the backup you keep at the bank.
"You can trust us, sure we do two-signature transactions and hold two of the keys, but it's TOTES LEGIT GUIZE"<p>Other fun thought: if Case goes under, your BTC are now unusable. Good thing hardware startups never fail...
Great presentation. Explaining the value proposition of bitcoin in simple terms is definitely not an easy thing to do.. and I think she nailed it right there.
"Transactions are only signed by the server if the fingerprint scan matches your biometric data."<p>Does this mean biometric data is stored on Case's servers?
