Opendime by Coinkite

Cold Storage

Opendime is a small USB Bitcoin stick that acts as a bearer instrument, allowing users to physically transfer Bitcoin value without broadcasting a transaction to the blockchain. Each Opendime is loaded with Bitcoin once and can be passed between parties like cash until the owner breaks the device to spend the funds. Created by Coinkite, Opendime pioneered the concept of hardware-native Bitcoin bearer instruments.
