Secure elements and hardware wallets

Why are secure elements used in Hardware Wallets?

Plain and simple for UX.

If your encryption depends on a numerical PIN of a few digits you are screwed.

The secure element adds a layer of encryption so that in case you can extract the seed from the chip you can not attack it by brute force.

If you use a sufficiently strong passphrase or if hardware wallets allow you to enter a password for encryption, there would be no need for secure elements, it's all about UX.

On the other hand, in cryptography you should never trust. Secure elements are a black box, and by contract you can't even publish their vulnerabilities. What's the point of using encryption if you're trusting a third party? that's useless.

It is true that there are solutions like coldcard where two secure elements are used so you don't have to trust them, but I still think it's stupid, I don't care about the UX, I want my bitcoins to be safe.

When you understand this, you realize how stupid the hardware wallet industry is.

This #Bitcoin dip is a blessing. 🧡

X is closing their San Francisco office. Nostr doesn't have an office.

I'm taking to those who chose to resist... The whole is those that are with Maduro... They are basically scared if they are alone. Focusing on taking out the fringe, will do psychological damage to the "whole" or basically the rest of the Maduro followers. It doesn't take much.

#venezuela, small unit tactics... Work on the fringed. Find 1 or 2 people and be ruthless... It doesn't take much to discourage the whole... Watch The Patriot... It will give you some courage... Be unreasonable...

it's tricky to implement, but you can always swipe from far left.

Who else here uses Primal?

Please reply wanna text something with you 🙏

~ I HAVE REAPED THE SIN OF PRIDE AND GREED ~

I feel a great need to vent after such a huge fuck up... Futures trading lost me .3 Bitcoin (30 million Sats).

I AM SO FOOLISH FOR RISKING SO MUCH!

To the plebeians:

KEEP YOUR SATS!

DON'T ZAP!

(Yes, the desperation reeks as I seek some semblance of redemption).
