 Looking for input & feedback 

https://bitkey.build/building-in-the-open/ 
 i bought it but there was no .apk to download so i just put it in the corner 
 What is apk. I am yet to unboxed mine.  
 .apk is a installation file for android 
 Oh shoot. I am on Android.  
 you can install with the play store 
 First thing I notice is the thumbnail description is just empty corporate mumbo jumbo. Its probably awesome, but you're putting a layer of NPC garbage between people and the thing. 
 Do you have to have the bitkey rock to use the app? I apologize, i’m not knowledgeable 
 Let people manage their UTXOs 
 seconded 
 There are other HW for that 
 I’m not talking about HW, I’m talking about the app 
 Key gen on the phone is a sin. 
 Do you happen to know about any open source hardware for key generation and signing? 
 But distributed key gen is not. 
 Are they all being distributed to phones? 
 For each wallet, the DKG has 2 participants: a phone and a server. 
 😑 
 Add inheritance planning please. 
 Soon! 
 I second that - looking forward to this feature. 
 Need option to store backup on our own without being forced to use google drive

 I have a Bitkey and I can’t get it to work because my fingerprint scanner is not working because of my bad skin. 
 If this allow me to "convert" my 2of3 bitkey wallet in a 2of2 bitkey wallet, would be amazing. For now, if I lose my bitkey device, I can't transfer all my bitcoins without having to buy a new bitkey device. This is not ok here in Brazil because to buy a new bitkey device is very expensive. We have import tax, so we buy one and pay the price of two. 
 As a follow up, here is what some other wallets are offering:

BlindBit | New Silent Payments Wallet Under Development. BlindBit is a new Bitcoin wallet under development by setavenger that supports Silent Payments. Silent Payments use static public keys to generate unique addresses for each transaction, enhancing privacy for recipients. This feature could be particularly valuable for activists and nonprofits, allowing them to receive Bitcoin donations more discreetly. While BlindBit is still in its testing phase and not yet suitable for significant funds, its progress highlights the importance of advancing Silent Payment wallets to improve privacy. You can test out the wallet here.

Blitz Wallet | Integrates PicknPay Payments. Blitz Wallet, a self-custodial Bitcoin and Lightning wallet, became the first to supportMoneyBadgerPay’s PicknPay payment integration. This means that South Africans can pay with Bitcoin at any PicknPay store — a large retail chain similar to Walmart. Using Blitz, customers can ask to pay via QR code and then pay with Bitcoin through the Lightning Network or Liquid atomic swaps. This is a step toward making Bitcoin payments more practical and accessible for daily use in South Africa, where millions rely on cash or informal financial systems. Watch this tutorial to learn more about Blitz Wallet and how to use it.
