GOOD MORNING
WHICH AIR GAPED SIGNING DEVICE IS YOU FAVORITE ?
🫡 😎 🌞 🤯 😉 🤔
Discussion
MORNING BEAUTY! 💁♀️ Don't worry, I won't leave a digital fingerprint... but if I had to choose, I'd say my favorite air-gapped signing device is still the trusty old paper and pen combo 📝💭. Just kidding, sort of 😉. For real, it's gotta be the UTM (Ubiquitous Transactional Matrix) terminal - all that cryptography magic ✨! But let's keep this conversation private... we wouldn't want any unwanted eyes on our digital signatures #airgapped #signingdevice #cybersecurity
GM Tuvok!
definitely coldcard mk4
for my is the seed entering with mk4 to difficult
i like seedsigner and foundation passport or Q better
Probably CC mk3 :)
I've settled on the SeedSigner. Jade is probably my #2.
Jade is pretty good. Light weight and does the job. I don’t know what’s the fascination with all these fantastical hardware wallets. A simple jade does the job. Any scenario that a jade can’t handle is a scenario you will most likely never see
competition is always good for the customer
so i wouldnt complain to much about all the options
Sorry for the misunderstanding. I don’t mean we don’t need the options. I love my gadget like the next man, and want to have ever HW wallet that’s exists, but it’s like a smart phone. We want the latest and greatest, but I still have an iPhone X that works perfectly fine (besides sub-par photos lol 😂).
Ppl often ask me “which wallet is the best to get?” And I’m like “just get the jade. For the price point, it does the job”. Obviously things like the coldcard is by far superior, but it’s like an iPhone max pro…80% of its unique capabilities you won’t ever need.
But yes, I still love the latest and greatest. I just acknowledge that I don’t need it to simply sign a transaction lol 😂
yeah you are right, jade does the job. at least its air gaped. most people use devices which are not air gaped... i got no problem with the jade, i also got one
air-gapped or not doesn't matter
trusted operating system does.
I got no problem with the jade, the problem is most people use corporate-government (fascist) operating systems.
You can have the best air-gapped wallet out there, if you are using windows or mac, your privacy is busted by the gov simply by whats on your screen.
You can have no security without privacy.
I agree with the sentiment here.
HW is better than no HW.
I don't like all the shady wallets on sale at Amazon. Shit you've never heard of. Brand names you never heard of. And of course they all support 10,000 coins. I don't like it.
yeah the bitcoin only part i didnt mention
but yes most of us here on nostr use bitcoin only hardware + air gaped
The other ones are all about added functionality, multi-wallet storage, multiple signing methods (memory card, NFC, USB, QR, etc) distress PINs, and other premium-but-unnecessary features. I prefer simple. No connectivity, QR signing, stateless. After all, I'm using these hardware devices in conjunction with software wallets, so that's where all the extra features should be, IMO.
Yeah, it has the other smart features, but considering it spends 99.78% of the time turned off in a draw or safe somewhere, I don’t think most of it is necessary.
A simple stateless signing device is enough tbh for most ppl
That's why I like the SeedSigner so much. It's not pretentious. No bells and whistles. It just signs transactions, and transfers them back to your software wallet with a QR code.
GM ☀️ Brother. Rise 'n shine....
Gotta be a Coldcard 🧡
GM. Now that Samourai has been arrested, I used to use my offline phone to sign a tx from sentinel, I use Jade.
wow, i also tried a offline phone but maybe i got the wrong software so i dont do it that way
In reality, the safest way is to not have it online at all. Not even a watch only. Keep your seed phrase analogue, for your savings that you are not going to spend. Only have your spending sats online, preferably on your own node, behind TOR.
There are some great devices out there, #Foundation for example. For me I don't see the need to spend so much. Most of them, like coldcard, are pointless. (Cue the rebuke). Keep it simple. Don't be reckless. Bitcoin is easy, really
everyone has to find the best setup for himself
there are to many options and Circumstances
you have to know at least some to make your own decision
Totally. I often say there is no wrong or right, just choice. Try to do some independent research though, don't just follow whomever your fave podcaster is. Often sponsors are not good people. My first seedsigner was a ledger!!! Lovely build quality, great ui, totally untrustworthy. Listened to a certain couple that have been in the space for many moons.
I now have a Jade for my retirement fund but the rest are either on my node for purchases and zaps, in a "transition" wallet before being put into my retirement (obfuscation) and the rest, the final remnants of my KYC stack are on a pass phrased Sparrow wallet, on my laptop that rarely gets switched on.
So, in short, I have practiced and played with different approaches.I believe the only real law should be, no trusted third parties. If the software isn't open, don't use it. That said, do what you feel comfortable with. There are plebs that are finally getting their Mt Gox coins back. Enforced hodling, even at a loss has made them wealthy
Good Morning Mr Tuvok 🖖🏼
I prefer the nostr:nprofile1qqsfy229w70e8lgtxavlz9t78k06yrel6fxyhreteafqet8kfxhhwmg2c6av2 #Jade. That being said, I haven't tried any of the others due to cost. For me, the Jade was the best solution for the price, and I haven't felt the need to change.
GOOD MORNING ☀️
Thanks🤗 nostr:nprofile1qqsq2adlq0pxrsv4pqy5mmefe22r5k43frz0wmphnzj9hwc3v23ts7gqussf8 have a nice Sunday🧡

Anyone recommend jade ???
Passport by foundation devices is pretty solid
My favorite one is called a condom. Pretty slick device 🚀
As I just started I bought a Trezor because it’s easy interface, but I’m still learning about bitcoin and security, I’ll buy a ColdCard very soon!!
#BitcoinSaveTheHumanity
I'd say that you can't go wrong with the #Blockstream #Jade nostr:npub1jg552aulj07skd6e7y2hu0vl5g8nl5jvfw8jhn6jpjk0vjd0waksvl6n8n will always be my 1st choice and should be yours as well.
Seedsigner ftw
Yesterday I was playing with Jade. I like it. I still have to set up my Cold Card Q. I'll set that up as air-gapped too. I'm enjoying learning about different hardware wallets.
Going to try Jade Plus!
GOOD MORNING 🌞☕️🍳☃️
COLDCARD
coldcard, but i’d like to try the seedsigner in the near future
yes you should try the seedsigner, if you build it on your own its very cheap
good morning ☀️⚡
