So don’t you think it "could be safe"

Why do we even have signing devices offline then?
Maybe for smalls amounts like a zap wallet for example. But normie will keep all his coins on it. And will talk about it to whoever lol
Many of this is actually fearmongering from HWW manufacturers.
I agree a separate device is useful for security, but from there the arguments start to make no sense.
For example, many “attacks” on USB are due to tradeoffs between security and performance (DMA and similar) and devices trusting anything to be what it says like a keyboard.
All the USB stacks on hardware wallets are impossible to attack because they are simple and they don’t allow anyone to just input fake clicks.
The offline part you mean?
Regardless of that walking around with a phone that has your stack on it isn’t the best idea imo
Yes. Having a phone with your stack is a bad idea, and putting it on the same device. There are documented sandbox escapes that could let attackers talk with the SE and steal your funds.
But if it is a dedicated device, no issue there.
I understand. If it’s a dedicated device. What’s the appeal of having a phone subscription on it? Do some buying and selling directly on it? Wouldn’t that phone line be kyced?
Pretty sure the sol phone has to be shipped kyc, I haven’t seen it in a store yet either.
Paranoia for the most part… imho
But I definitely don’t think everything should be stored in one place…
If I have to choose between careless with a ledger tied around my neck or a phone with seedvault written on it, I’ll choose paranoia 😂
Totally agree with you that not everything should be in the same place. So a spending/zap wallet on the phone makes sense. Between having WoS on my phone, and the Apple logo on it, OR a perfectly integrated signing device on my phone, with seedvault written on the back…
