Most bitcoin "accessories" that you see for sale this black friday are pointless, overpriced, regular consumer products repackaged in premium branding.
You don't need a $150 kit to hammer seed phrases into washers. You need a hammer and washers and a letter punch kit, all of which you can get at Harbour Freight for like $25.
You don't need a waterproof HWW case with custom cut foam. You need a Pelican 1120.
I COULD GO ON
Bitcoiners jerk eachother off about how important saving is, meanwhile they are just a consumist as the rest. Always buying extra crap and rationalizing it
Time to bring this one out
Buy a paint can, line it with cardboard and foil less duct tape.
Now you have a waterproof faraday cage to store your signer, batteries, and cables in.
Those washers bend when you hammer. One strike is not enough to imprint. Once bent the letter punch stops working. I too can go on.
I don't know what washers you are buying but a 316 stainless isnt gonna bend. I've done it several times. The hardest part is lining up the punch and hitting it cleanly, but there are some pretty cheap jigs for that.
100%
I get wanting to support a bitcoin circular economy, But there is also a myriad of products out there that are completely unnecessary or upcharged nonsense.
This is just my opinion but if you want to support a circular economy by goods with Bitcoin as much as you can, things like coffee, honey, cloths, meat, art, etc.
