Nostr Web Client

I got a question for you guys. I’ve been working on an End Of World (EOW) plan.

I’m working on getting a second citizenship and would like to stash up a commodity that can easily be transported.

I have 2 choices. #bitcoin and #monero .

What would be the best bet to store #bitcoin ? I didn’t like my hardware wallet experience because these scam companies manage to conveniently obsolete their technologies to push us to always upgrade.

On the other hand, any other hardware wallet alternatives are project that the dev can just rug at anytime.

Running your node is not an option, if shit hits the fan, I don’t want to transport my server and try to plug it.

Also, I haven’t found any interesting wallet for #monero.

Can anyone give me their opinion? I won’t judge; I’m eager to learn.

Here is my opinion. If you are technically capable, then you don't have to buy shit to have a rock solid implementation.

When someone is trying to selling you stuff to buy it should raise a BIG red flag.

1. Always self-host everything as much as possible.

2. Spin up a VM instance dedicated to #bitcoin stuff only.

3. What to run Bitcoin Core/Knots spin up a second VM instance.

As for #bitcoin vrs #monero, I would gain rock solid understanding of #bitcoin before consider anything else if you want to avoid the school of hard knocks.

I would start with the Sparrow wallet.

If you need deeper guidance check out my blog post on how to implement stuff. cadayton.onrender.com/blog

Nice blog site! Will give it up a red for sure.

Self hosting is my moto, however, it’s hard to use a node when I’m moving.

The node is good if you are static at your own place, if I am more nomads, what would be better?

When u say node do you mean Lightning or Bitcoin Node. I've have a Lightning node running (BTCPay server) in OCI with zero hosting costs for the last three years. One of my blogs covers how to do this.

If you are moving around a lot, then you'd have to shutdown your VM(s) for a short period. No getting around that.
