It’s code viewable

Which ones are true open source? Seedsigner?

Jade, SeedSigner, Passport

Sparrow, Samourai, Green

Start9

The big offenders are Coldcard and Umbrel: these things have huge market share without honoring #Bitcoin's open source ethos.

I'm disappointed in myself for not doing more research. Currently running Umbrel, but soon switching to Start9.

I can’t switch to start9. Umbrel is so esthetically pleasing.

Aesthetics are pretty far down my personal list for server software, definitely below freedom.

Can't...

It is.

The only real problem with coldcard, and I understand it, is an ideological one.

Their code is protected by government. You cannot use it to sell a product and make money with it. Not a fan of that but this is not a security problem.

Unless I'm mistaken, but I don't think so. Willing to accept to be proven wrong.
