Help spread awareness for build reproducibility

Please help us spread the word discussing build reproducibility with Aiotize CryptoZip via their Twitter!

Do your own research!

Try out searching for "lost bitcoins", "stole my money" or "scammers" together with the wallet's name, even if you think the wallet is generally trustworthy. For all the bigger wallets you will find accusations. Make sure you understand why they were made and if you are comfortable with the provider's reaction.

If you find something we should include, you can create an issue or edit this analysis yourself and create a merge request for your changes.

The Analysis ¶

Background

The device has a stark resemblance with the Wallet Logo SeedSigner Unreproducible! .

The components are generally similar save for the USB plug.

They claim to be Open Source but we were not able to locate their repository and binaries.

Analysis

Absent links to a repository, binaries, detailed specification sheet, functions, or even a description of how it works, we believe this to be a copy of a do-it-yourself project that’s closed source. We asked for more information on twitter and this is their response:

We'll most of the project is #OpenSource, you could use already open #repos easily to go along with this for the meantime. #Aiotize @ShivanshSethi13

Verdict Explained

This project is not meant for non-technical end users.

As part of our Methodology, we ask:

DIY

Is the product meant to be ready for use "out of the box"?

If the answer is "no", we mark it as "Do-It-Yourself Project".

Many hardware wallet projects aim to be as transparent as possible by using only off-the-shelf hardware with an open design and open code. If the product reviewed is not available in an assembled form - if the user has to source his own hardware to then maybe solder and compile software to install on the device it falls into this category.
