Finally got around to reading this! I think lesson 15 was my favourite - I didnβt truly understand the power of SHA-256 before πͺπ» nostr:npub1dergggklka99wwrs92yz8wdjs952h2ux2ha2ed598ngwu9w7a6fsh9xzpc
nostr:npub1jg552aulj07skd6e7y2hu0vl5g8nl5jvfw8jhn6jpjk0vjd0waksvl6n8n Hi, how do I add watch-only wallets on the new app? I used to watch all my wallets on the Green app, but canβt find a way to do it on the new one?
You canβt have βwatch onlyβ wallets on the new app?
GOOD MORNING NOSTR.

Not your keys, not your coin.
Protecting private keys is the bedrock of Bitcoin security - without holding a private key, BTC isnβt truly owned. π§΅
A private key is a massive 256-bit number (up to 77 digits) that grants control over Bitcoin.
Generating a private key on a device like Blockstream Jade involves multiple sources of randomness. This process ensures a unique, secure private key, created offline to avoid online exposure. The strength of the private key lies in this randomness.
A private key, when paired with a Bitcoin wallet, generates all Bitcoin addresses for receiving funds and signs transactions for sending BTC. It can be used across multiple wallets if needed, but itβs the ultimate access point to funds and must be kept secure.
Since securely storing a 256-bit number is impractical, Bitcoin wallets simplify it with a βseed phraseββa list of 12-24 words representing the key.
The seed phrase is critical: itβs the human-readable backup for the private key. When setting up a Bitcoin wallet, the device generates this phrase. Write it down carefully and in the exact order given. It is the sole recovery method if the device is lost or fails.
Best practice? Record the seed phrase on something durable, like a metal plate. Physical storage on materials like Blockstream Metal protects against the failure of digital devices and guards against physical degradation.

If significant funds are involved, avoid generating and storing private keys on internet-connected devices. Using a computer or smartphone risks exposure to malware or keyloggers. An open-source hardware wallet like Blockstream Jade Plus is the safest way to generate and handle private keys offline.

Bitcoinβs rising value makes it a target for attackers and a more valuable asset to safeguard.
Understanding, protecting, and backing up the private key is essential.
Looking forward to getting a Jade Plus! ππ»
GOOD MORNING NOSTR.
HAPPY NEW YEAR.
