I've recently tried out a Nunchuk & Tapsigner combo on mobile, for a modest-sum, daily use mobile onchain wallet (suited for travel). More secure than a mobile hot wallet in itself, but still very convenient, less friction than a true hardware wallet (Tapsigner is not HW wallet league, lacking screen and input).
The setup was quite intuitive, and it worked nicely!
Next maybe I will try a 2-of-3 Nunchuk / Tapsigner / proper HW wallet setup for extra reliability.
Yup! Very popular setup.
Tapsigner isn't a hardware wallet, it's a blind signer. It's great for single-sig on Nunchuk, and a good option for one of your three keys in a multi-sig configuration. You could do a Tapsigner, a hardware wallet, and a software key. If you want more protection, a Nunchuk will store an encrypted 3rd key on their server with a subscription.
Practically, I see only two use cases for Tapsigner:
- HW surrogate to get a feel for real HW wallet if you don’t have money for one.
- For travels, in case of an emergency it can be destroyed without much regret.
