Setting up wallet is always nerve wrecking for me. Afraid of making stupid mistake and lost it all

I ended up always try to receive small amount first in the wallet. Test if I can really send from that wallet, then only will I then feel safe to transfer the rest..

Afterwards it feel good though. Knowing that my savings is full reserve, not fractional reserve. Without any counterparty risk as well.

I would add two or three more steps. I would write down the first 5 words of the seed phrase. Then factory reset my HWW and create a new wallet. Only use the wallet if the second seed phrase is different!

Then after your first test "receive" transaction, you could also "send" a test transaction and then you could delete the wallet and recreate it by using the seed phrase. That way you can reduce the risk that your wallet is compromised.

100%. This is what I do. Altho I delete twice so paranoid about screwing it up

What do you mean 'test' receive and send.

I do actual receive and send

😂

Is there a way to do it in like test/UAT kind of environment? I am using nunchuck+ coldcard btw
