every tool has tradeoffs, options are good and you are free to use whatever tool you want

all that said, the recent trezor and ledger news are strong reminders why I have consistently and loudly recommended coldcard for years - I can sleep easy at night, using and recommending the best hardware in the industry

Curious why you prefer ColdCard over BitBox?

For me many reasons, BitBox has to be connected to your computer in order to work and I also don't like the UX experience at all.

Thank you for your helpful reply 🙏

It's one of the best calculators I have.

Another option is to use a software wallet that you firewall from the internet until its needed.

I do the same thing with my smartwatch app to prevent my data going back to the company or pulling data from online.

Foundation Passport is pretty good, feels like a Nokia 3300, I suspect it uses refurbed cameras from that generation as it’s a bit dodgy but gets the job done.

Waiting for the “BuT iT’s NoT oPeN sOuRcUe” crowd

The only difference is that the way CC has it licensed is that your not allowed to copy it for resale? Still verifiable/reproducible in a not for profit manner?

Would you mind sharing the news source for reference, Matt?

Agreed. Since I rarely get on Twitter, I’m behind on the news. We need to get more people over here. Link or summary anyone? :)

Just purchased one 🤙🏼💜🧡

@coldcard is superior to seedsigner?

Triple the price of other hardware wallets. Is it that much better?

Yep 🤷‍♂️

How should a ledger user transition to another hardware wallet? Generate new seed and transfer individual utxos or all at same time? Asking for a friend.

…what Trezor news?

The "Trezor news" doesn't seem like news to me...

They purchased a trezor off a popular classifieds website and are shocked it was fake? Only popular classifieds webites I can think of are craigslist and ebay.

There's either something I'm missing or this is propaganda to sell coldcards. nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx
