My comprehensive COLDCARD Q Review:

3 times as expensive as building a SeedSigner, and it can't scan SeedQRs that my SeedSigner can scan.

yeah seedsigner is pretty epic for price to value

and you can customize the case very well

So I’m about to get marketed hard is what you’re telling me

halp

I thought it might be the way I was using the device, but It can scan WIF format just fine. Either the documentation is incorrect (Specifically says it can scan SeedQR and links to SeedSigner's docs) or the software is broken.

Okay so the Coldcard Q apparently doesn't read SeedQR Compact format.

Not a problem, all you have to do is

1. Build a SeedSigner

2. Scan Compact QR with SeedSigner

3. Export the seed in non-Compact format

4. Scan SeedSigner with ColdCard Q

or just stop at 1.

And security worse than advertised.

It isn't great

It's okay IMO. I figured out the issue tho. It doesn't support the full range of QR Code formats
