Once you start understanding all the features Coldcard has it feels as expected.. ultra hardcore ninja level cypherpunk nostr:npub1az9xj85cmxv8e9j9y80lvqp97crsqdu2fpu3srwthd99qfu9qsgstam8y8

I only question why does not have taproot support yet? And wen taproot so I can move funds into it

That said, I feel it’s incredibly advanced. So many security features from the moment you turn it on, or how you type your pin, or security words to identify potential frauds, or having it completely air gapped, having every file being signed, having your coldcard as entropy generator for others and so on and so forth

Amazing

Yeah, I love it too. It’s a really great device. One question: how are you gonna handle the move over to taproot addresses with all your conjoined utxos? I assume you do conjoin.

Why that question?

Looking forward to get one

Only reasons taproot yet is because we are not ultra confident yet. It's a massive change, new cryptographic primitive. The more ppl use and test the Edge release the faster we will be confident about it.

When it comes to money, Move slow and don't break things :)

Ok I hope that comes to production soon.. 🙏.. everything else is awesome

I would use the edge version honestly but is hard for me to assess how “beta” that version is.. and what risks are associated with it

For me using taproot still out on the risk curve until Musig & Frost have more standardized implementations and hardware wallet support.

For now, I think the use of miniscript is the biggest upside of the edge firmware, but we are one of 4-5 companies building on it actively right now. A year from now I imagine ux bugs would be ironed out.

who else is building on it? need to know where to send resume in February.

Wizard Sardine, nostr:npub1hgexz8p2f0u3t9gwy3mnjpq2u2djun0708yzxa8m2juey5uglt4qmv7qms , Casa, and “my citadel wallet” are the ones that come to mind. It’s also live in Core as of version 25 (26 for taproot).

I want a Coldcard now. Everyone speaks only wonders of the device! Will be my next self gift when I have the chance to travel abroad

Nicolas ₿ ⚡️ 🇦🇷🧉🤙💜 2y ago

It is indeed the “must have” HW

Coldcard is bitcoiner paranoia manifested into physical form 🤭

Real recognizes real, awesome design, great execution!

I was highly impressed during setup as well. What was the most impressive to me was the setup/support website, from beginners to paranoids (like me).

Hi, I’m about to buy a block stream jade. Do u think cold card is a much better option? Is like double the price… Nico, soy argentino tmb, q pensas? Cómo conseguiste el coldcard en argentina.

Nicolas ₿ ⚡️ 🇦🇷🧉🤙💜 2y ago

Don’t know Jade Juancho :). Can’t say much

In Spanish: todo dependerá de para que la uses. Coldcard es bitcoin only con lo cual tendrías que además tener otra si usaras stablecoins y otras cosas

juancho 2y ago

Gcs Nico, ya me encargué la jade…. Tmb btc only y open source… saludos

One of the most important and underappreciated features of Coldcard IMO is that it's built for longevity. You can put it away in your safe for 25+ years and expect it to still work when you take it out.

>So many security features from the moment you turn it on

Yeah so many fucking places to make mistakes.

I have to remember a device specific PIN!?

SECURITY WORDS?

Airgapped is security theater, doesn't do anything.

> Entropy generator

Do you check your entropy forms the same seedwords and xpub on an independent hardware signing device?

I AM SURE your process is less secure than you think it is.
