Nostr Web Client

Sorry for the many questions. I was wondering. I originally ran the node and gui wallet back in 2016 I think. I then moved to a node GUI Wallet with ledger device setup which allows me to use monerujo on android since it supported ledger. But Monerujo was a bit of a hot mess. I saw Cake Wallet but it didn't look like it supported hardware wallets. I then sold and got out 2019 (I know).

What wallet setup y'all like best?

No problem, glad to help if I can. I like to keep it simple. All I use is a software wallet for spending amounts (Liked Monerujo, but enjoying the newer "stackwallet" atm. Great UX imo.) on a phone (GrapheneOS) and also have a seperate cold storage steel plate seed backup of my savings.

These are probably the most popular and recommended software wallets in the community. Theyve come a long way since 2016/2019. All open source:

-monerujo (Android only)

-stackwallet (Bitcoin/Monero only version available - Android, iOS)

-cakewallet (Monero only version available - Desktop, Android, iOS)

-featherwallet (Desktop only)

-monero gui (Desktop only)

Ledger has always been dicey especially with the recent controversy. I think the only hardware wallet recommended right now is Trezor T model. Open source as well.

Alternatively, you can create your own cold storage:

1. Generate a seed offline

2. Generate a subaddress to save somewhere for depositing Monero into later (and/or turning the address into a QR code)

3. Etch the seed on steel plate backups (or steel washers + bolt method).

Optional: You can also use the view key for a watch-only wallet of your cold storage if you like.

If you are familiar with bitcoin SeedSigner there is a fork called "MoneroSigner" being worked on, but no ETA available.
