## Requirements
* A USB smartcard reader
* A keycard that supports the status app
## Usage
1. Start `geth` with the `console` command
2. Check the card's URL by checking `personal.listWallets`:
```
listWallets: [{
status: "Online, can derive public keys",
url: "pcsc://a4d73015"
}]
```
3. Open the wallet, you will be prompted for your pairing password, then PIN:
```
personal.openWallet("pcsc://a4d73015")
```
4. Check that creation was successful by typing e.g. `personal`. Then use it like a regular wallet.
