I think BT are not inherently bad (again, OS bloat is the bigger concern, but BT has some encryption issues which could be solved by a custom encryption layer) but they are unnecessary, so why have them? And now you need a battery, and… exploding money storage devices sound fun.

An SD card is also more auditable.

I think you have all the right direction. You get the importance of the true secure elements. The air gap capability.

You and I are on a similar, or same page with SS. I think we just need reasonable alternatives to them. SS is a great product, we just need more. but nothing else that is commercially available is worth it’s weight in silicon

An SS does not work well when you want to carry around a small stash securely :) but it works great for multisig

maybe you could use a smartcard I am making with SS to get best of all worlds for a distributed multisig (especially key shards held in less secure locations)

I love this idea. Travel is the big downside with SS. I end up taking a QR seed with me and I keep a passphrase for that wallet in my head. So the BTC isn’t accessible but it’s still not a perfect or great option. Obviously everything has tradeoffs.

I’d be happy to keep talking about this stuff. I’m not a dev, but I work in software (operations, training, support, sales, testing) UI/UX is super interesting to me too.
