I don't care what anyone says, but doing transactions with the hardware wallet for your cold wallet is a nerve-wracking experience.
After repeated failures, I had to upgrade the firmware on my Coldcard MK3, and after transmitting a signed transactions with weird script warnings I didn't understand I managed to move some funds. Relieved, but still not confident
To think 'normies' are going to do this on a wide scale is just a dream.
Blockstream jade is way easier and cheaper than a coldcard
I looked at it. The coldcard is more secure and in some ways simpler. (IMO.)
Coldcard is not simpler than a jade
You need sd cards and know how to work all that. A lot of confusing options not good for a newbie
Sd cards I’m good with. It’s the stupid file finder on the Mac.
Exactly.. we aint doung all that
Get a blockstream jade for $70 shit you can 2 for the price of a coldcard
It's not confusing to follow instructions. It took me longer to buy an SD card than to initiate my first child wallet.
Ive seen sooooo many questions and issues with people and coldcard. Ok not losing funds but questions like this on a daily about coldcard.
I see no questions or confusions about blockstream jade questions or concerns i only see coldcard questions..
Just an observation
Sounds like a problem with Coldcard UX, not hardware wallets in general.
Yup. I have taken great care that the seed phrase has never touched any computer. Still, it takes a lot of intense knowledge to understand exactly what is going on.
Yup, the probability of messing something up with a "super secure" coldcard is so frigging high for me. So many nerdy options and details I don't need.
Also: The Sparrow software they highly recommend to use with it doesn't work on older Macs and I almost lost a significant amount of sats because of all that.
I ended up using BlueWallet on Mac. It work quite well, once you figured out the where the tools menu was. Their instructional video was more focused on how fast the dev person could do it, pretending to make it look easy.
Exactly, been there.
Bluewallet is how I managed to recover my nearly lost sats.
The best UX I can think of, is a two part device - a secure/trust interface device that you can plug into any UBS and some sort of ‘key’ that you plug into said device. Swapping around min SD cards is just too hard for folks.
