Except this lock also has a key. It's the $1000 smartphone you carry everywhere. That is prone to running out of charge, getting stolen, getting broken, not being in range of a signal, etc. The whole idea was bullshit from the get-go.

- rinsai 9y agoThat's not a market, that's people with money in the bank and actual experience gambling on the future. If you and Burks hadn't spent all of yours rebuilding the same things over and over again for four years, you might have gotten to sit at the table with some of the people who buy Edison lightbulbs from Restoration Hardware in bulk to see if a market for Otto existed. Since that didn't happen, now you're pretty much just going to have to sit there and take the entire world's word for it that nobody wants a $700 lock that can be defeated with a $17 carbide-tipped drill bit just as quickly as a $29 lock from Home Depot that also looks less ridiculous and doesn't need its batteries changed every month.
