When I made this video it was early 2022 and the Jade left a lot to be desired. They've been adding a lot of new features lately and putting in the work. A pretty decent option now - biggest gripe would be with camera resolution as scanning can be a pain.

Either way, props to them for giving the device the love it deserves.

Ah thanks for the clarification πŸ™πŸ’œ

Would you consider the missing secure element as a problem? πŸ€”

No secure element means that it's much easier to extract a seed phrase with physical access to the device. General rule regardless of the device is to assume your funds could be compromised if it goes missing, and immediately use your backup to move everything.

I prefer having a secure element with everything else outside the chip being open source & auditable. Without a secure element you can mitigate risk by adding a passphrase.

Thanks mate πŸ™

Would love to zap you more for the valuable advice but unfortunately i have to save for a good hardware wallet πŸ™πŸ’œ

I think the Coldcard might be the best choice atm but the jade is much more affordable

No worries man, save your sats!

Coldcard is a really neat peace of hardware. I like the airgap via psbt with Sparrow.

I like it also but it’s sooo expensive πŸ˜” imagine the sats i could stake πŸ˜…

Seedsigner is another brilliant approach.
