A new hardware wallet is in town. CoolBitX wallet. It will store and secure your bitcoin offline. Office/HQ is based in Taiwan.

Great to see new hardware wallets entering the market!

Thanks to this app, I can quickly and easily generate one-time passwords (OTPs) on my phone or computer for use with two-factor authentication (2FA) via the OTP Generator: HOTP, TOTP, OCRA,EVV website . Having dynamic, time-based OTPs to protect my accounts gives me peace of mind in this age of digital threats.
