Okay, thoughts on the $25 bitkey now that I received it through my freight forwarder in EU:
* Pros:
The user experience and on-boarding is really frictionless.
The hardware build quality is excellent, this thing feels incredibly premium for what it is.
At $25, it's a steal.
* Cons:
Entirely useless outside of the Block setup. Not interoperable. Can not be used as an NFC key in a normal multisig.
Not convinced that the "recovery" pathways if you lose two of the three keys are safe.
At MSRP, it's delusional pricing unless it is allowed to be interoperable.
* TL:DR;:
Not for me, and because it's not interoperable, it's nowe-waste..
