## Products

### HardID Hardware Wallet

Fully open-source, air-gapped hardware wallet. Private keys live only inside certified **dual EAL6+ secure elements**; the MCU stores no key material. Air-gapped: no radio; transactions and signatures move via QR code. Clear Sign — what you see is what you sign, with human-readable recipient, amount and contract intent on screen.

Specifications:
- BIP39 offline seed generation: 12/18/24 words, shown once on screen, never exported.
- BIP32/BIP44 deterministic derivation with per-coin path isolation; independent digital-identity key paths.
- Clear Sign for BTC/UTXO (PSBT) and EVM (legacy, EIP-1559, EIP-712) — field-by-field confirmation, unknown calls flagged in red.
- M-of-N multisig coordination; each signer independently confirms the same intent.
- FIDO2/CTAP2 + U2F passkeys — one device, hardware wallet and universal security key.
- RFC6979 deterministic signing with anti-exfiltration.
- PIN with exponential backoff (capped at 24h); optional 25th-word passphrase hidden wallets and duress PIN decoy wallet.
- Secure boot with ECDSA firmware signature verification and anti-rollback version counter.
- Apache 2.0 licensed — open hardware, open firmware, open tools.
- 25 rounds of security audit. No key self-destruction, ever.

### BitcoinBall — Home Lottery Machines

Bitcoin miners built into everyday home appliances: real appliances first, silent miners underneath. One-time cost, a new block every ~10 minutes, positive-sum home-lottery model (no recurring ticket purchases; hardware keeps residual value; appliance keeps working offline). SOLO mining mode — hit a block and win the entire reward alone (currently ~3.125 BTC plus fees). Honest probabilities shown.

Product variants:
- **Digital Photo Frame**: 20–50 TH/s · 300–500 W · ≤25 dB · 7–10" photo display + yield widget. Your memories on the wall, your miner inside.
- **Smart Alarm Clock**: 10–30 TH/s · 200–350 W · ≤20 dB · LCD time + yield, LED ring. Wake up to the time — and last night's yield.
- **Smart Speaker**: 30–60 TH/s · 400–800 W · ≤30 dB · 5–10" screen + voice assistant. Available 2027 Q4.
