I’m not happy with the quality of Trezor…is it just me?

Get a Coldcard from nostr:npub1az9xj85cmxv8e9j9y80lvqp97crsqdu2fpu3srwthd99qfu9qsgstam8y8 (unless you’re shitcoining in which case there are no good wallets because shitcoining causes problems).
Thank you 🙏 will have a look
I can attest to the quality of the coldcard. The thing just works.
Not Open Source.
You'd be supportive of shady business practices and state licensing.
I'd go with SeedSigner & Foundation Passport.
The cool thing with SeedSigner is that you can buy all the parts and build it yourself.
This way you're not buying something people know you'd be using for Bitcoin, aka supply chain risk.
Also SeedSigner is the most feature rich option developed in a grassroots way, completely open source.
Even if you do buy a prepackaged hardware wallet,
I'd still build a Seedsigner as you can use it to educate yourself and verify the other devices are working as they should without being technically savvy.
And someone with no experience could do it?

Exactly đź’Ż anyone can do it.
You can ask me for help if you need as well.
NOT JUST YOU. ANY DEVICE THAT TRIES TO SUPPORT SHITCOINS IS BOUND TO BE HAUNTED WITH EVIL SPIRITS.
I got them a while ago and did get the btc only ones…so not completely retarded. But still…
OH OKAY. YOU DODGED A BULLET BY AVOIDING LEDGER TOO - THEY'RE THE WORST (BAD DATA BREACH A FEW YEARS AGO).
THANKFULLY THERE'RE OTHER GOOD BITCOIN-ONLY SIGNER OPTIONS IF YOU NEED FUTURE IMPROVEMENTS LIKE COLDCARD, FOUNDATION, SEEDSIGNER, BITKEY, ETC
Trezor sucks
What's to dislike?
Flimsy plastic that feels like it’s going to fall apart and it keeps disconnecting
Which model is that? I had the Model One for a decade without any major issue, albeit the cable connection was sometimes iffy and it is true that it's very cheap plastic feeling so I'm thinking you got that one.
I upgraded to the latest model the Safe 3 when it launched, it feels much sturdier with what seems like a metal back and it uses USB C now so the connector is much better.
People shit on Trezor a lot, but they're the OG hardware wallet company. Made in Europe, and they even created the BIP 39 word list standard everyone uses today.
I do wish they wouldn't support shitcoins, and I see posts of people having lost coins with the built in swap services like changelly so use those at your own risk, but if you go for the Bitcoin only model and avoid the swap services then they're perfectly fine IMO.
Trezor is open source, secure, very low cost, and extremely easy to use so it's great for newbies and veterans alike. People act like Trezor is shit and other wallets are God-Tier, but nobody is perfect and every wallet has it's pros and cons.
Yes it’s just the Model One.
Thank you. Your info has made me feel a bit better. I do think I need to upgrade though…nothing is perfect, you’re right.
Bitcoin only!
Try Coldcard! From nostr:nprofile1qqs9v9et20mnqagtgrnrc5qmzcrgmkt2y3087p23vawqlmyczlhfdcq79l4qn
I heard ledger is great
🙄 haha
Standard daily nostr:nprofile1qqsvmmxrr3kegphf5lttqpn5z24xv8vax8yqxhpl6ewqvvqarjkrhyshp6qh0 cheek
only order hardware wallets directly from the creator.
What about #Ledger , which has a secure chip, too
I don’t think anyone has mentioned the nostr:npub1jg552aulj07skd6e7y2hu0vl5g8nl5jvfw8jhn6jpjk0vjd0waksvl6n8n Jade or their newer Jade Plus but they may be worthwhile considering. I have one of the original Jades and haven’t had any issues with it.
