I mean

you can flash Graphene in 15 minutes from the web browser on your computer

its' dead simple

and install your favorite wallet on it

and you have a convenient signing device with a familiar interface in like an hour

with very little "learning to use" anything

i suppose you also need a strong password on the phone.

but its sure seems like an easier flow for more people than any HWW.

cheaper too.

But you know your mom better than I (not trying to say anything lol)

so your mileage may vary of course,

but it's not shitty advice.

It’s a shitty advice to be given out in a public space to average people because they don’t have a “favorite wallet” or a “familiar signing device”.

so basically you think that

its easier to teach an average nocoiner to use a CC

than to use a new app on a smartphone (which they are probably already used to using)

weird take but ok

If they need to send/receive ten bucks worth than just do custodial lightning and they won’t have to learn more than scan an address. If you want to teach them to use savings technology don’t even mention using mobile cause you won’t be able to teach them all the ways to not fuck it up. Hardware wallets are made to stop user from fucking it up and minimize the attack surface.

they literally just have to flash the OS and install wallet software

its true that the biggest danger is that they install MORE software and increase their attack surface

and that is only possible because the device isnt designed for that purpose only.

legit concern 👍
