Oh wow… back to Trezor then.

am waiting for block’s hardware wallet…
Very happy with my Trezor so far, prefer it to the Ledgers I've been using for years, it does everything. Even has coinjoin taproot wallets in the Trezor Suite.
#[4] how about you guys, taproot spends on Passport?
Maybe I’ve missed the boat, why is anyone buying a passport when they’re at least 2x more expensive than other options? I see no clear value add versus a cold card, and they have far less software support and integrations.
Has a camera to support scanning qr codes. better screen for reading qr codes. Looks like an old Nokia phone with rechargeable batteries. Having multiple hardware wallets for multisig....etc....

The Q1 isn't even out so I'm not sure why that's relevant. The jade only recently added functionality to their camera and I believe it has to be used with their app.
Bitbox 02 BTC is another great open source option that supports taproot (BIP-86).
opensource code hardware wallets are easier to hack
for criminals

every code has vulnerabilities

One is to use a tougher coding language that’s more resistant to the above attacks. Trezor’s micropython, for example, is considered to be among the most robust languages on the market. However, this isn't open source, its proprietary and expensive
