[Tinkerphones] New tinkerphone gadgets in Goldelico shop?

Wed Nov 15 11:11:55 CET 2017

Hi,

how complicate is it, to add some sort of button?
I would prefer a non mechanic one, i think they are capacity-based read out, simple metal plates.

I like the idea, that the key should only provide crypto operations, when it is touched. I guess, the mainwork would have to be done on SW-side. to achieve that kind of functionality. But since hardware is not so easy changeable, it would have to provide the capability already. 
I know that this is not as safe as a key-pin, but for some low priority things i would prefer such a mechanism.

How do you want to work with the original author and community of FST01/Gnuk? Will they support/work with us and get some financial support for sold sticks? Maybe they would be glad if their child will get a new production batch run and add to our orders.

Greets,
Thomas
