Iris Wallet instead of Mnemonic Phrases?

I've tried many wallets like MetaMask, Trezor, and Ledger. Honestly, hardware wallets are a pain sometimes. Writing down those mnemonics and keeping them safe? Total hassle. Recovering a wallet feels like a nightmare too just a bunch of letters to mess with. Way too outdated for my taste.

So, you're suggesting iris scanning? Like the biometric stuff with face ID? Sounds risky, man. Just need a pic of someone’s eyes and boom, they could be rekt. I still trust seed phrases more.

Appreciate the thoughts. Yeah, biometric tech has its flaws, especially face and fingerprints. But iris recognition? That's got serious security cred. Used in high-stakes areas like counter-terrorism. Way harder to spoof than just faces or fingerprints. Plus, the other systems still store private keys, right?

No offense, but I’m skeptical about your claims. If you really want to be trusted here, maybe prove your product first? I couldn’t find much about you. That YouTube video? Only 5 views! Your site’s buttons don't even work how'd those people even reach you?

Those videos were from our team, just went live recently. Thanks for the heads up. I'll drop the links here! - How to create EyeWallet - How to make transactions with EyeWallet - What is EyeWallet?

Interesting concept you got. But does your device store just one private key or like a whole seed setup?

Good catch! We actually encrypt the seed using iris patterns. No keys stored at all, so only the owner can access their seed. We strictly prevent key leaks. Basically, EyeWallet is about unlocking your keys with your eyes.

Couple of questions. 1. Is there a backup option? What if someone's iris gets damaged? 2. Seems like mnemonic phrases are still pretty convenient. Just stash it away, recovery’s pretty rare. 3. Scanning someone’s iris may put them at risk in certain situations.

Cool that you’re making an iris wallet, but hear me out. It’d be smarter to make it a module! Like, plug into your computer or Bluetooth. Instead of trying to compete with wallets, partner with them to add iris scanning. Call it EyeScan or something.

Thanks for the idea. We did think about making it a peripheral. But if it sends data to phones or PCs, that kinda goes against the whole point of a hardware wallet, yeah?

Some users might find mnemonic backups helpful too, right? If iris tech feels sketchy, can they still see the mnemonic?

True, EyeWallet does have the option for mnemonic backup. If anyone thinks iris alone is risky, they can view their mnemonic too. Plus, you can register multiple irises for the same wallet!

But isn’t there a hardware security layer in most devices? Like iOS and Android’s Secure Element? Seems more secure.

Good point! But if EyeWallet’s just a peripheral, it still has risks like privacy leaks. If we send iris data to a device, it could expose some info, and that’s sketchy.

I can see the concern. But what if someone gets jacked? Losing an eye could mean losing access to their coins. Better to have a backup option.

I’m curious about how you handle the biometric data. Is it just saved or do you have a secure way to process it?

We don’t store iris images it’s too risky. We use fuzzy extraction instead. It's all about maintaining user privacy.

But if it’s just a module, wouldn’t there still be security issues? Transmitting images makes it iffy.

I agree. You could lose access if something happens to your eyes. Seed phrases? You can store copies in safe places!

And what about people wearing contacts? Do they need to take them out to use this wallet?
