What do you do in a literal gun-to-your-head scenario where someone wants your Bitcoin?

Hand them your Ledger

What if they know enough to tell you to unlock it and to sign over your Bitcoin to their receive address.

1 sat /vB 😆

ColdCard has some interesting ideas re: dummy accounts, distress logins, etc.

There's also the multi-sig option where you actually *cannot* send it without another person signing it. Possibilities there.

I would rather not risk telling a highly-motivated thief about multisig to avoid an unscheduled road trip.

Does ColdCard Mk4 tap sign to any mobile wallets?

No idea, sorry

Mk4 NFC tap via IOS Nunchuk sucks balls. I wouldn’t buy it thinking that works. It’s the “elephant in the room” on that model.

Not sure about Android and / or other mobile wallet combinations.

I'm thinking then just keeping the diversion wallet on an old phone.

Just tried it with an iPhone and a Pixel with Graphene, and neither of them worked ofc. iPhone errored out and Pixel never even established comms.

😳

Fuck it I have a shitcoin HWW with a fingerprint sensor. Worst case scenario is I lose an index finger and can no longer do the shocker with my good hand.

😂

This is where I think that a diversion/duress hardware wallet with the fastest signing workflow is the clear choice. The hardware wallet is basically a prop. The fast signing workflow doesn't leave time for questions or scrutiny. The payout of a non-trivial-yet-not-devastating amount of Bitcoin diminishes tension.

Bite the bHope my next of kin can read/understand how to gain access to that coin after I’m dead.

Lol "bite the bullet."***
