I am struggling…
Blockstream Jade vs. Coldcard vs. Trezor vs BitBox
Which one should i go for? 😱😵💫
Discussion
Coldcard
Why you like it most?
Bitcoin only
Fully Air-gapped (optional)
NFC (optional)
Plausible deniability (1 seed - infinite wallets by changing passphrase )
Looks cool ( not high on the list , but still a reason)
Coldcard accept Bitcoin for payment
Coldcard seem to be innovating constantly
Coldcard Docs are excellent
I couldn't even mention all of it's features on here to be honest, it's a swiss army knife.
💪🙏💜
Trezor isn't Bitcoin only , that rubs me up the wrong way . I might be being pedantic .
I just had the same question in my had a couple of weeks ago. I wouldn’t go for BitBox again, instead i would go for the coldcard.
Interesting. Any specific reason? I’m indecisive between the two.
The touch buttons seem to be an issue. I have some struggle to enter my keys one of two available sides.
Depends what are you looking for. Jade is the only open source option out of them
🤯thought they all were… that’s the whole reason i want to go away from ledger
Just looked and it seems that Bitbox is also open source and have secure element chip like Jade. Coldcard and Trezor are not open source. Of course, open source does not automatically mean it's safe and cannot contain backdoors but at least everyone can verify, view, build and flash the firmware and bootloader.
This is a long running argument.
Coinkite makes hardware not just software, so the cost base is different. The restriction in their license is don't make exact copy and sell it as your own. The code is open source and often scrutinized.
Coldcard powered by a 9 v battery paired with sparrow wallet seemed great. Coldcard never ever has to plug into a computer. I bit of fucking around but hey it’s worth the effort
Still seedsigner 😆
😅 i first need a quick solution before i dig into this… seems a little more complicated 😅
quick solution is a hot wallet imo
you don't have to get every piece seperate, you have prebuilt ones too
😱
?
If you're serious about keeping your bitcoin or you're keeping a serious amount of bitcoin, you can't settle on a hot wallet.
But to be fair, there was no discussion of quantity so I probably jumped the gun.
😂
also i never said he has to settle for that, god no.
" a **quick** hot wallet **solution**" is what we were talking about
we gud tho, love it <<😱>> hahah
Seedsigner is only good if you can guarantee physical security. Just like a seed on paper without pass phrase.
You should always backup your wallet physically, so securing the seed is always a necessity.
what is the argument here exactly. to what other hww/signer/cold storage are you relating it too and why does that one not have this issue
You can’t tamper with the coldcard because the firmware check would fail. Seedsigner can be tampered with with physical access, see this demo where the seed is written to sd card:
depends on ur hobby n ethu interest - DIY seed-signer or lnbit - I am doing own poor way - so i sign to nostr + wallet both

I was looking at those , how do you find them ? Certainly affordable ! Allowing everyone to self custody is important, I commend LNBits for that .
Coldcard. Easy.
I use coldcard quite happily but if I was looking to change my first choice now would be seedsigner.
As always, be careful when ordering this stuff, ideally pay sats not PayPal/Bank... and get delivered to work, locker, or private mailbox. Never associate your main residential address with bitcoin and bitcoining.
🙏💜
Coldcard is easy to use, and gives lots of check ups along the way. Made me feel safe at all times which is very good for a newbie like me.
🙏💜
if you have your bitcoin on an exchange, withdraw it to Bluewallet on your phone at least and right the words down safely/securely.. so you feel a bit more relaxed thinking about all the hww options
The correct answer is try them al out.
What are you going for? For the majority of your stack I’d say ColdCard, turn off NFC, and never let it touch the internet. Case closed.
For everything else, I’ve gotten them all to see how I might use them.
Moneybags over here lol
Def coldcard or jade because of fully air gapped functionality 🔥🏴☠️💯
Your post is receiving a lot of attention.
