Not enough people know how easy it is to hodl with Nunchuk and TAPSIGNER.
One of the best hodl combos out there for noobs.

Yeah it's the bomb
I haven’t done this yet, but considering it for a friend with minor Bitcoin looking to self-custody.
My issue is: what do we know about how reliable a Tapsigner is over time?
And - never having worked with one - can I assume my friend can know and secure the 12 or 24 words before committing them to the Tapsigner?
Yeah, I need to just watch a video…but I’ve already typed all this, so I’m asking?
No seedwords are involved with Tapsigner. You create a master private key when initializing the card. You can retrieve this private key in encrypted form from the card and save it as a backup.
There is a …video for that by BTCSessions! You activate the Tapsigner card and create a backup you can restore as a hot wallet just to swap your funds in case you lose the card. There is no seed phrase to reuse, you either have the card and use it for signing transactions or you can move your funds out.
Fascinating, thx so much!
Guess I’m off to watch another BTCSessions video.
What setup do you use?
I have Android > Nunchuck > Tor > Start9 and it takes at least 30 seconds to sync every time I open Nunchuck. I think this is the only way to connect it to Start9.
