Hardware wallet review: Jade by Blockstream

--

- Fully open source hardware and software. Gold standard that is rarely met in the HWW industry

- Affordable compared to alternative products. Uses commodity hardware

- Simple to use, great support, compatible with Blockstream Green, Sparrow, Nunchuk, Specter

- QR scan, BIP85, duress pin

- Fully air gapped. Enables sending bitcoin without connecting to the internet

- Immune to physical key extraction from device alone (virtual secure element with 3 secrets - Jade secret on device, pin, remote blind oracle)

- DIY-able (firmware can be installed on inexpensive, off the shelf hardware

- Can be used as a 2FA device

- Can mine bitcoin (cool but not profitable)
