# First experience with the Coinkite Coldcard Q and Foundation Passport hardware wallets

I pre-ordered the new Coldcard Q with a blackberry or GameBoy-like vibe and wanted to test it against their open-source competitor that also uses a camera with QR interactions. This is the Foundation Passport, which is a bit more expensive and has more of a Nokia 3310 vibe but with a fancy camera and colour screen.

### Pro's of the Q:

- Replaceable AAA batteries

- Flashlight for finding your seedphrase at night

- Secure PSBT workflow on microSD or NFC (optional)

- Two microSD card slots!

- Comes in temper evident bag (number verifiable with hww)

- Full QWERTY keyboard for entering long passphrases or seedwords quickly.

### Con's of the Q:

- Screen quality (noticable light bleeding through)

- No protection on camera + LED (dust and dirt susceptible)

- BBQR standard, deviates from existing encoding of opensource wallets.

### Pro's of the Passport:

- Premium build quality, fewer but better buttons!

- Same interactive QR-code standard as Seedsigner and Blockstream Jade

- Comes in a box with numbered security seal

- Encrypted SD-card as default backup solution

### Con's of the Passport:

- Only single microSD card slot.

First device received had a microSD slot malfunction, obsoleted the hardware wallet...

- Advanced user setup worked better for me than default setup flow

If you want to know the psychology of a banker better, play a game of Money Maker and you’ll quickly learn the incentive of credit creation to outbid your competition 🪙🪙🪙 this is the third edition of the game that I’ve played since 2016

I’m looking forward to play with a bitaxe supra 🚀 open source mining hardware with S21 antminer ASIC chips on them!
