So Jade is stateless??
Discussion
Can be, i think there are options with jade
Then for me, a stateless device might be preferable. Can only use device by inputting seed. That way i only really need to worry about securing the metal seed. I can do that. With all the other methods, i would be more afraid of forgetting where i hid something, than of someone else stealing it.
And if you are using sparrow via xpub you can easily add receive btc without having to load the seed since that is only needed for spending/moving/consolidation etc
Yes thats what i have been doing, but the more i think about all these other things i would need to secure, it gets complicated. I need to find out if coldcard has a feature to do a stateless setup. Thanks for that idea.
Wouldn’t securing the metal seed be just as difficult as securing the passphrase or pin?
I'm still thinking about the best method for me. Wont be making any changes until i have thought it through some more. I guess i just started thinking about the device, the passphrase, the pin, the "trick pin" the "decoy wallet", and it started to sound like a nightmare if i forgot or lost one of those items. Still up in the air about it all.
Yes, absolutely.
And the part that would worry me is if something would happen to me and my wife would need to retrieve the funds.
Which would mean that I would need to leave instructions (including seed, pin, passphrase, etc.) that were secure but also something that she could take to a trusted friend and they could help extract the funds.
Yes, so even more pieces to hide.😒
