— OUR PLEDGE —
The Tickrix
Legacy Promise.
You are buying hardware.
You should own it. Forever.
If Tickrix ever shuts down — for any reason — the firmware becomes open-source. The hardware specs become public. Your device keeps working.
No paywalls. No bricked screens. No "service discontinued" emails.
The promise is simple: you own what you bought.
— The Contingency —
To ensure this isn't just a verbal promise, we've automated the hand-off:
Public Escrow
The complete firmware source is mirrored to a private repository, synced daily.
The Dead Man's Switch
If the company goes silent for 6 months — no commits, no check-ins, no heartbeats — the repository auto-publishes to GitHub under the MIT license.
Open Hardware
The full schematics and Bill of Materials release alongside the code.
Sovereign Data
The final firmware release ships with user-provided API keys for CoinGecko, Yahoo Finance, and direct exchange feeds. Your data path never depends on us.
Community Ready
Fork it. Modify it. Run your own relays. Indefinitely.
— Why This Exists —
Pebble. Jibo. Revolv. Cozmo.
Beautiful hardware that became expensive paperweights when a server was switched off in a boardroom.
Tickrix will not be that company.
We are building for the long haul. But we respect your investment enough to plan for the "what if."
If the worst happens, you keep your device. You keep your data. You keep your control.
That is the promise.
