Here's what I'm working on, the ultimate Bitcoiner security setup that I've designed, and build for people ...

A laptop with fully synced Bitcoin Knots running (in the background) with Parmanode menu system, connecting with Electrs server (or Electrum X or Fulcrum). It's called ParmanodL...

Sparrow wallet pgp verified and installed, auto-connecting to own Bitcoin data (via electrum server). (Electrum wallet and Specter wallet also included) on an internal 2Tb NVME fast SSD - no dangly bits.

UDEV rules configured so your HWW works beautifully (I have BitBox02 available, and also recommend ColdCard if you're more tech savvy).

The laptop ideally is left plugged in, this allows you to have access to you current wallet balance instantly. You can turn it off, but you'll be waiting for the node to catch up each time you use it.

Laptops have batteries, so if the power goes out in your home, you'll have a chance to gracefully shut down the machine so you don't get blockchain data corruption (and have to potentially resync).

You can search your own transactions with your own mempool web viewer using your own data - rather than submitting you address/tx and location (IP address) to a public service.

And you can keep the machine in stealth mode, over Tor or I2p, if you are paranoid about privacy.

They can lottery mine, and use datum, a nice intro to get your toes wet - not to scale up with, but just to experiment.

With a few extra sats, you get MUCH more features and a custom build with ParmaDrive - self sovereign data server/cloud to help you get off Google/iCloud.

Yes, it has everything a ParmanodL has except it's not a laptop. I suppose it can be, the build can be customised.

With two ParmaDrives (ParmaTwins) you get ParmaSync set up - this is something I invented that allows two people to sync encrypted data to each other automatically, preventing single point of failure data loss, part of a 3-2-1 backup system. You could actually own both, just put them in different places to get the redundancy benefits.

Finally, to top it off, you can pair the node with a laptop signing device, the ParmAirGap - quick summary is that it's like a Seedsigner in laptop form, except it's a full isolated operating system, so it does much more than just sign, helping you overcome extreme paranoid with wallet creation, verification, and letter encryption.
