Hardware signers are the way to go
🚫💻 Why does www.Bitcoin-Safe.org block software seeds for Mainnet?
🤔 Isn’t that inconvenient?
🔥 Turns out, it’s a major security upgrade — and only Testnet gets the software seed treatment.
Here’s why that protects your sats:
1️⃣ Software seeds are a foot-gun
💻 Regular computers aren’t secure enough to hold high-value secrets.
🧠 One phishing link or clipboard virus, and it’s gone.
→ www.Bitcoin-Safe.org blocks them for Mainnet.
2️⃣ Hot-to-cold doesn’t work
😬 Users might start with a software seed, then migrate to hardware.
🚨 But the original exposure already happened.
🧊 Cold storage isn’t cold if the seed was born hot.
→ www.Bitcoin-Safe.org says: no half-measures.
3️⃣ Phishing loves software seeds
🎣 If you’re used to typing your seed into apps, you're easy bait.
🔐 A hardware-only design breaks this habit.
✅ Mainnet no-hot-seeds = safer.
4️⃣ Flexibility for devs — safely
🧪 Software seeds are allowed on:
- Testnet
- Signet
- Regtest
→ Ideal for testing, zero sats at risk. 🧡
5️⃣ Mainnet = hardware signers only
🛡️ No exceptions. Supported signers:
