Update
We had a discussion internally, and it's not quite clear how this is gonna work. I think they'll implement multi wallets, but it could be read that you only can convert btc via keepkey to any altcoin. stay tuned for updates, I'll keep an eye on it

What do you think this will add in terms of value? I mean, why keep my steem or sbd off my account and stored away? Just asking, cause I think the idea is cool...
it's pretty much impossible to get hacked by using a physical wallet
If you keep it off the chain, do you still get the interest? I think this is great for traders for sure, I'm just curious because I hadn't considered storing this away. But the price of steem is great right now to do just that.
There are no details, but since you own the private keys.... you should get interest.
Yeah saw them add ETH to KeepKey a week or so ago. Didn't know they were adding all altcoins though. Good news! :)
I have a KeepKey and love it. There is a review on Steemit for anyone interested in purchasing one.
yep, makes it very interesting. I'll wait to see how they implement and will most likely buy one :D
I think I'll buy one too. This is a great opportunity!
Cheapest reseller for EU is https://bitcoinshopper.net/ and keep in mind if you are importing from USA theres is extra VAT and some countries also put extra taxes.
I have KeepKey but didnt have time to do review.
Good news! Unfortunately, not enough place in my brain hardware to handle all the news so rapidly...
How do i get a hardware wallet?
you buy one.
Is there an online shop for this one?
Agreed

I have been recently thinking about purchasing a KeepKey wallet .With this news I think I might have to finally hit that "order" button.
Thanks for the information.
