#2Doesn't sound particularly secure. Problems include that third key in offline storage, which sounds vulnerable to social engineering.

Right... So Case stores two of your keys, and only two keys are needed to transfer money. The security claim seems overblown.

Well, the third key is only useful if one has one of the other two.
Though there is the possibility that an adversary could get access to the third key and the key that they store for being tied to the biometrics?
But I think that that is probably sometimes a lower risk than the risk of "oops, I lost/forgot my bitcoin key" if one is using single signature? (depending on the person, and their adversaries)

#5At least Case is open sourcing their software.
I'll stick with my Tresor thank you. Cheaper, smaller.

#6I don't like the fact that they are holding on to two of your three keys for you. What if their servers go away? What if their cold storage gets compromised? Air gap isn't fool proof.

#7Great presentation. Explaining the value proposition of bitcoin in simple terms is definitely not an easy thing to do.. and I think she nailed it right there.

Hopefully Case isn't vulnerable the same way:

I'd prefer the option to generate that third key locally and skip storing it on their servers.
