"Did you know you can build your own hardware wallet? I recently attended a workshop with Dani @bitcoineando, a Bitcoin evangelist and software engineer who will be hosting a workshop on just this topic next week in Adopting Bitcoin, El Salvador. The whole process took less than an hour and took me from having never assembled a small hardware device of this sort, to a fully configured and self-assembled Bitcoin Seedsigner and smart card backup combo via the Satochip suite."
"For those attending the now historic Adopting Bitcoin conference coming up this month in El Salvador, the free workshop will take place on Friday, November 14th at 3:50-4:50 pm, in the English Workshop room and will be delivered in both English and Spanish. Attendees who bring a laptop and go through the full workshop will get a free Seedsigner + Satochip combo to take home, plus the knowledge of how to build the whole thing themselves."
"What's amazing about the combination of these two great open source projects is that they are made of very common hardware that can be purchased almost anywhere in the world. No specialized hardware from artisan manufacturers, this is a pure DIY project that can be a viable option for users in developing nations with tight import controls, under oppressive financial regimes, under a tight budget, or just those paranoid enough to want to build everything themselves."
Hands-on assembly can produce a fully configured SeedSigner and Satochip smart-card backup in under an hour using common, off-the-shelf parts. A free workshop at the Adopting Bitcoin conference in El Salvador will teach attendees to build these devices, scheduled for Friday, November 14th, 3:50-4:50 pm in the English Workshop room with delivery in English and Spanish. Participants who bring a laptop and complete the workshop will receive a free SeedSigner + Satochip combo to take home. The open-source projects use widely available hardware, offering a DIY option for users in developing nations or under tight budgets. SeedSigner launched in December 2020 and enables an affordable, air-gapped transaction signing device built around Raspberry Pi Zero hardware and simple peripherals. The project began with a pseudonymous founder known as SeedSigner and is supported by a growing community led by Kieth Mukai.
