I am interested in developing a BitKey like cold wallet system for NEM. Unfortunately, I don't have the time or money to do this for free, if someone offers a bounty for me to claim when I am done, that would be great.
Once the funds are open (I understand that's not very far way) you can request funding from there 
I hope this comes to fruition !
NEM loves security features. In my opinion we already are the most secure crypto 2.0 platform so something like this would be really cool.
From what I am understanding, you are proposing a disk image that can be burnt on a USB or CD that contains Linux and everything a person needs that is preloaded and is good to go. Just pop in the CD and then restart your box and then an OS comes up with NEM running in it. At that point somebody could get all the information they need to then be transferred over to the live machine.
Is that about right?
I think NEM might be especially well suited and adaptable for something like this. If I'm not mistaken our "console" feature (which I haven't been able to figure out yet) can be used for starting transaction on an offline machine where all the funds are in cold storage and then proceeding with the second half of those transactions on a live machine. And at that point the information being carried over contains no private keys or information that can be linked back to the private key so it could be announced on any node in the system.

I would hope people have a special machine with no HDD or network adapter to be extra secure (or at least disconnect their machine from the internet) but you basically have the idea.
sounds good. I think some people would really like this.
The other day rb2 made a live usb/cd for NEM in Linux. That might help a little for this project.
