Big Brain Question.

If you are encouraged to verify signing device operation how do you do this without actually sending a transaction? I've been creating a transaction in Sparrow and building it but just not broadcasting it. and I'm wondering if this is an acceptable check or if there are other ways to verify good operation of a signing device.

I’m looking for simple solutions.

I don't know about you, but every wallet I've ever had, I've verified it by sending and receiving a small amount. That's the best way to verify.

I’m talking about after that initial send. I don’t want to have to actually send a transaction multiple times a year just to verify. I will if I have to but I was wondering if there was a way for me to check without sending an onchain transaction.

Is there a risk if I just build the transaction but don’t broadcast after the initial test transaction you’re talking about?

Unchained Capital has a signer verification periodically but they don’t make a transaction.

Do you have your seed words protected? If so, your signing device is just another risk factor.

For true cold storage, why even have a existing device capable of signing a txn? Get comfortable restoring your words into signers and doing test txns, then nuke the signer, but otherwise sleep easy knowing nobody can get your corn

That’s fair. I’m just asking for informational purposes. I have chosen to leave my CCs un-wiped but have a strong passphrase that is not saved to a SD card or written down in the same location. For me right now that is sufficient while I still play around with functionality and different wallet SW and recovery methods.
