whatβs your favorite hardware wallet & why ?

Seed siner because it's not a wallet. It's literally just an ephemeral signing device. It's fully open source and I can lend one to a friend if they need it and not have to worry about my own private keys.
I needa learn more about nostr:npub17tyke9lkgxd98ruyeul6wt3pj3s9uxzgp9hxu5tsenjmweue6sqq4y3mgl for sure, do you use it for cold storage as well or
yep absolutely. While you can use a seed siner every day if you're transacting with Bitcoin a bunch, seed siner is definitely more of a device that's focused on long-term cold storage. All of your seeds are backed up physically either on a piece of metal or however you choose to store your seed.
My current setup is I have a few cold storage seeds that I made with the seed signer (backed up on metal in a safe) and then I have some hot wallet seeds that I also made with the seed signer that are loaded into hot wallets like a samurai or sparrow.
Multiple seeds with one hardware device? Being the seed signer?
Yup! A seed signer doesn't actually store your seeds because there's no secure element. After generating a 12 or 24 word seed and adding a password to it or not, you're responsible for storing your seed yourself. You can use the seed siner for a PSBT via the QR system.

You can also turn any previously generated 12 or 24-word seed into a QR code for easy PSBT access.
So it can create the seed, but you must store and secure it separately.
That makes sense! For each signature, do you just enter the seeds?
Yup. If you need to Interact with your seed in any way you need to enter the seed back into the device. You can either manually type in this seed words yourself or you can load it in via the QR code that you can generate with the seed signer.
Sir, are there issues with the limited capacity of a Raspberry pi?
Thank you.

I like both Jade and coldcard for multisig solutions
itβs between seed signer n coldcard rn might do both fuu it
Ledger π
Ledger. Because of the awesome customer support and client data security..
I love the SeedSigner. You pull ou tthe SD card after it boots. Then you scan the seed, which is a QR code on a piece of paper (so you can't easily lose your seed). When you disconnect power it forgets everything.
Only problem I've had is getting my computer's camera to focus on the QR code it presents. Sometimes I have to fiddle around for several minutes to get it to focus and scan it. Because it is so small, the camera wants to focus on things behind the seed signer. It needs something like an 8x11 sheet of plastic that shrouds it so the camera can't see anything at any other distance.
