Do you use an #Airgapped computer for managing your #seed phrases and #PSBT? I hope you do!

Here the steps:

- Get a old Lenovo Thinkpad X230

- Remove both the WiFi card and Bluetooth module

- Make the Ethernet port unusable (by damaging it)

- Encrypt the Hard Drive with a strong password

- Install Sparrow, Electrum or any similar Wallet

- Enjoy!

If your Airgapped computer gets stolen, it cannot be accessed as the hard drive is encrypted.

Your #bitcoin are safe!

Airgapped Computer > Hardware wallet

Yes, nice.j

But I have seen a sad story of someone messing up with a HW wallet.

Using the dice roll feature to generate a seed, but using just one dice roll 🤦

So I don't even know what to advice anymore, but keep it stupid simple...

I remember that story, that means the guy did not study enough. Entropy is crucial when creating a seed by using dice.

There is this guide I refactored my way:
