I have a nice round stash in my nostr:npub1ex7mdykw786qxvmtuls208uyxmn0hse95rfwsarvfde5yg6wy7jq6qvyt9 wallet
I’m not a fan of hardware wallets. nostr:npub14q8uffuxxnhzd24u4j23kn8a0dt2ux96h5eutt7u76lddhyqa0gs97ct2x couldn’t get his Bitkey to work
Maybe move my stash to nostr:npub18q57qr3t07qljnapzqldaqa7ru2qwfpfnjdrwvhk327n3sc82f0qqwrs6f wallet?
🤔

A nice cold storage one is good just keep keys written somewhere non digital too.
But your BitKey failed??
Yes, finally got it to sign a transaction after taping it like 200 times
“taping”?
Yes it uses nfc to communicate with your phone
I dunno man. Hardware fails
Yes, only had a little in there, was able to recover it. Won’t use it anymore
I’ll take my chances with hot wallets like nostr:npub18q57qr3t07qljnapzqldaqa7ru2qwfpfnjdrwvhk327n3sc82f0qqwrs6f
Bitkey is a good wallet for beginners, or as a spending wallet. Probably not the best for long term cold storage. As long as you can handle keeping your keys safe there are better options. Some swear by Jade, others by coldcard, and some really like the passport. Seedsigner is an open source option that is quite popular.
I personally do have a Bitkey for a spending wallet. I have been using it since the beta test, and it has been flawless for numerous transactions. They have great support too, nostr:nprofile1qqs2sr7y57rrfm3x4272e9gmfn7hk44wrzat6v794lw0d0kkmjqwh5gpzpmhxue69uhkummnw3ezumrpdejqzrthwden5te0dehhxtnvdakqzynhwden5te0dehhxarjve6kutnrdakst0lgry should contact them, they will surely sort out his problem. As for the other options, I can confirm that both Jade and seedsigner work well.
Try nostr:npub1s0vtkgej33n7ec4d7ycxmwt78up8hpfa30d0yfksrshq7t82mchqynpq6j Passport / Core.
Easy to setup, easy to use. Open-source, airgapped. Don’t leave them on a hot wallet or exchange please, and make a proper backup in steel.
