Bowser

Description

This cold storage hardware wallet is hidden behind a Tetris game. Bowser is the origin of the undercover wallet, released by Ben Arc and is found at his github repository under open source MIT licensing.

“Its best to think of Bowser wallet like a cold storage paper wallet that can sign transactions. Some security is achieved by the passphrase being stored/verified as a hash, however the mnemonic is stored in an accessible location on the device and the passphrase could be brute forced, so the wallet details are only pseudo-secure on the device. The risk/use profile of Bowser is storing in a secure location as you would with a paper wallet, the advantage that Bowser provides is it gives the option to sign transactions via PSBTs on an offline, dedicated device.”
