I buy albums on vinyl for similar reasons.
I toured an old house the other day that had a drop down record player built into the wall, wired through most of the house to speakers, with two way intercoms. These people were really LIVING!
Like okay sure if you're spending often, maybe this is a good convenient way to do it. But not for what's intended to be long term savings imo.
Yes I understand that but having keys ONLY on a hardware device is never really a great idea in my opinion, unless I suppose if you're doing regular checks of all of your devices which in itself increases risk of leakage.
This doesn't sound great unless there's a physical backup of that key.
Don't fall for that doomer shit - life is GRAND!
Lol
It's ridiculously hard to find good people to hire. If you have recently started a small business and need some help so you're not the only one doing things, hit me up, let's scale your shit.
Lose the sunglasses! Sunglasses are a scam that fucks up circadian rhythm. Everyone is more attractive without them.
Weird, I thought it started in 2010.
THIS TIME IS DIFFERENT!
More power to you for wanting to learn and to try out different options!
In general it's a good idea to secure your Bitcoin as if it was worth at least 10 times more than it currently is, maybe with this in mind, a ColdCard doesn't seem as expensive proportionately?
If not, you might be better served buying an additional ~$60 in Bitcoin versus getting a Jade and instead continue your learning with a few software wallets. Blue Wallet on Android is top of class, and will let you get comfortable with multi-sig. Sparrow wallet on desktop is another excellent option to learn with. Making a new wallet in blue wallet and importing the watch-only XPUB into Sparrow and crafting a transaction there then signing it with blue wallet is a pretty great way to learn about PSBTs and signing with a device other than the one that creates the transaction.
I understand why the trade-off is made, but don't like the keyserver model to get around the fact that the Jade hardware does not have a secure element.
Possibly an unpopular opinion, but staking sats & getting comfortable with the mechanics of how Bitcoin works is probably more important long term than getting a hardware wallet right off the bat.
The Jade is just a cheap ESP32 chip. You can buy the chip for like $10 and flash the Jade firmware onto it yourself.
What makes you want a Jade over a ColdCard?
Pretty sure you can still buy the board and flash it for near-free.
Generally agree. That said, I'm working on one now, trying to make it add enough value where people would want to have the booklet even if they don't own the product. Will also have a QR download link fwiw.
