Some have done our project a disservice by giving the impression that it is "too technical" for the average bitcoiner (Peter McCormack), but it really is this easy.

I just built my first #seedsigner.
The whole process felt so easy and went so smooth, that I was was almost annoyed when it worked plug'n'play after maybe 7min😂
Awesome work nostr:npub17tyke9lkgxd98ruyeul6wt3pj3s9uxzgp9hxu5tsenjmweue6sqq4y3mgl !

As an average bitcoiner, this isn’t a bad project.
The building is easy but the handling of the air-gapped signing will need some getting used to
The soldering was the only tricky techie step. There must be an easier alternative to it.
No soldering necessary!
-> just buy the #RaspberryPi Zero WH, it comes with the header.
The inductor which deactivates the DCDC-Regulator for WiFi & BT can be clipped by a sharp side cutter 😉
Oh brilliant. I didn’t know that.
Would you please be so kind as to post a link or photos identifying the component to clip?🙏🧐😃💜😆🙏

It is described in the link above.
I found it here: https://seedsigner.com/seedsigner-independent-custody-guide/
Thanks so much, Friend!
I can see which components to remove.😃

Note that you can also purchase headers that "press fit" without soldering...
#Seedsigner is NOT TOO technical, any little tech savvy guy/gal can do it. Especially if you already figured out #Bitcoin. Only problem is that primary parts that are being used are kinda scarce, especially the cheaper ones. More devices getting supported will be helpful to actually encourage average bitcoiner to pursue making one.
I can finally say "Amen!", building this is a piece of cake. I ordered the parts from Amazon on Friday and had the device up, running, and thoroughly tested by Saturday afternoon....
And it is AWESOME!
This is the beast I've waited for for years... don't know why it took me so long to get off my fundament and build one.
BONUS: Learning how to use it, my understanding of how bitcoin works is increasing. 😃
