Wallet name

Ballet REAL Series Wallet

Wallet description

The Ballet REAL Series wallet is a physical cryptocurrency wallet that gives you full and exclusive control of your digital assets. A two-factor cryptographic private key is securely concealed on the physical wallet itself, which allows the wallet to function as a bearer asset like cash or gold. REAL Series wallets never need updates or maintenance. Since the private key is in physical form, not digital, there is no risk of accidental data deletion or corruption. REAL Series wallets are designed to be simple and intuitive so that Self-inflicted user error is nearly impossible.

The Ballet Crypto app is a digital asset management companion app to your Ballet REAL Series wallet. When using the app, your assets are kept completely offline on your wallet. The app does not store the credentials of your wallet and cannot access your private key.

@minimalsm Hi Joshua, is there an update as to how we can push forth our wallet listing application? Let us know if there is anything else you may want to review from us. Thanks.

This issue is stale because it has been open 45 days with no activity.

corwintines commented 1 year ago

im pretty uncomfortable recommending a wallet that generates and prints your private key for you instead of the user having the ability to do this. At the moment im going to reject this, but feel free to reopen and push back.

corwintines commented 1 year ago

Edit: ill leave open for others opinion first as well.
