Trezor and Ledger both have sh*tcoin functionality. That was the first red flag that steered me clear of either solution

So what’s the consensus? ColdCard?
Coldcard, Blockstream Jade, and SeedSigner are all great options. All Bitcoin only. None in bed with Chain Surveillance.
My personal favorite combo is Coldcard + Sparrow Wallet
Jade is highly underrated in my opinion
Agree. That’s what I usually recommend for a first hw wallet. Can’t beat the value for the price point either.
My only gripe with Jade is it doesn’t work easily with Sparrow - pretty much only works well with Blockstream Green software
Yea I think it only works with Sparrow as a single sig set up right?
Had trouble Sparrow recognizing my Jade device regardless of whether it was single sig or multi sig. Arman the Parman had a similar issue. Though I’ve heard others say that it is doable so who knows - probably some way to make Jade work with Sparrow - but not as easy as Coldcard with Sparrow. Jade with Green is a good combo too regardless, just wish Green had coinjoin functionality built in like Sparrow
Yea all good points, I was able to connect mine but I think I initially ran into an issue can’t remember what I did to get it to connect, was a while ago. Yea agree with you Green needs to implement whirlpool or jade needs to work better with Sparrow and it would be a deadly device.
I also haven't been able to connect Jade to Sparrow.
Thinking about using Green, but am wondering if there are privacy trade-offs. Does Green store the xpub for your wallet like Ledger Live?
