Physical key storage and transaction approval define Coinkite, a Bitcoin hardware manufacturer behind OpenDime bearer devices and Satscard NFC products. Rather than offering an undifferentiated crypto service, Coinkite organizes its work around Coldcard wallet devices, OpenDime bearer devices, and Satscard NFC products.
