Did you know you can make a QR code on your computer from the command line fairly easily? Parman's #NerdTips ...

Step 1 - Install Parmanode on Mac or Linux (or update to 3.52.1)

Step 2 - From the main menu, select "t" for tools, "n" for the next page, then "qr" for the menu (if QRencode isn't installed, Parmanode will do that).

Step 3 - Then you'll have a menu. Choose info to see the commands to DIY QR code any text or file, or choose "pub" to get a QR of your computer's SSH public.

It's a handy way to extract text from your computer. If you have a ParmAirGap, it will be installed on that to help you get data out; helps minimise connecting USB drives.

Later, If I think of useful options for QRs I'll add it, or on request.

Hey,

I was reading about various hardware wallets on your blog the other day. You advised against Ledger, suggesting something like a ColdCard instead. I've had a Ledger before and want to move to a different hww now; would you suggest moving the funds to a seed not created by the Ledger, or simply loading that key into a different hww?

The attack surface on a Ledger feels bigger, giving me the idea that it'd be "easier" to steal a seed from that device one way or another.

Thanls in advance.😃

Yeah make a completely new seed.

If you want to check that seed against an airgapped computer's electrum/sparrow software, I have just the thing for you...
