How important is it to build the seedsigner myself? Is it unadvisable or a cop out to get it pre built?
Do both with a nostr:npub17tyke9lkgxd98ruyeul6wt3pj3s9uxzgp9hxu5tsenjmweue6sqq4y3mgl

I would recommend it simply because it’s easy and you can get away with cheaper builds, but there’s reputable vendors as well as buying directly from https://btc-hardware-solutions.square.site/
You can see how it’s put together and buy a new pi zero board for $10 and swap it if you really want to down the road.
It’s airgapped so nothing leaves the device without you wanting it to, and you can roll 99 dice and compare the results in other vendors with the seedsigner as well.
