Oh wow, the mining side is a whole another level!

I forgot which user said about no wallet at all but I have a steel plate to handle the storage now. I still have and use a Coldcard along with Sparrow on the computer, it seems a fairly solid choice from what I heard from podcasts etc. but I must admit, the build quality of these devices bothers me.

The hardware wallet is really just a signing device to authorise transactions. The key thing really is protecting the seed phrase above all else.
