Okay so basically I have a good idea for a bitcoin hardware wallet, i'm just looking for information on how to go about creating it?
Do I need to create my own programs/programming for literally everything? Are there open source type things I can use? Would it be illegal to use another wallets programming or whatever? I'm just really confused as to how all of this works out. I'm not the engineer involved with the product, I'm on the finance and business side of things. So forgive me if I sound dumb! Basically, what all can I use that currently exists to make this process as simple as possible without getting any law suits lol. Thanks so much!

If you have an engineer on the project, it might be better to ask them because they'll know the specifics of what you are trying to do :) as it stands, you're asking too many questions here, please try to limit posts to on more specific question each – MeshCollider – 2017-11-28T05:50:28.307
Well he's an amateur and not experienced with this type of thing at all. I'm just trying to figure out what exactly goes into creating a hardware wallet, like the ledger nano. Sorry my bad im on somewhat of a rampage right now because I had a great idea randomly come to me. – Ty JOUMASEPOES – 2017-11-28T05:54:37.300
2The way you go about creating hardware is by hiring competent engineers, not by asking it on an online forum. – Pieter Wuille – 2017-11-28T09:37:32.640
