Abstract
A cryptocurrency management device (CMD) may be used to perform various cryptocurrency management functions, such as storage of cryptocurrency, user authentication, and initiation or processing of a transaction for transferring cryptocurrency. To conserve the power resources of the CMD, components of the CMD may be transitioned to a sleep state for extended periods of time. Such components may be automatically activated by a user touching the CMD or bringing a wireless communication device within range of the CMD. The circuitry of the CMD that triggers the activation are capable of continuously monitoring for such inputs over extended periods of time without consuming significant amounts of power, thereby conserving the power resources of the CMD.
