Offtopic but I really liked the explanation animations, which software do you use for that?
Thank you! I made those in Keynote, exported as video, and then basically freeze-framed each slide to align it with the voice-over.
WHich has a more powerful processor, the gameboy or the raspberry pi?
Do you see any reason why the GBA couldn't perform the role of a hardware wallet? Secure element excluded of course.
Gameboy is really slow when compared to modern hardware. One ECDSA signature that takes around 100ms on Trezor (32-bit CPU @ 120 MHz) would take around a minute on GameBoy (8-bit CPU @ ~4 MHz.

If we're talking about GameBoy Advance (32-bit CPU @ 25 MHz) - this more plausible but still 5 times slower than Trezor.

I think waiting a full minute is a perfectly justifiable trade-off for a dystopian future that at least forces people to have an iconic '80's handheld strapped to their hip. If we're headed toward a dystopia, we can at least try to set the stage for a certain standard of aesthetics.
It could perform it, but as the other comment has outlined it would be very slow (and not very secure)!
Not a question: I followed and really enjoyed your series on [REDACTED] as each video came out =)
That's great, thank you! I had a ton of fun on that one.
I like how they just EOR'd the data and called it a day =)
