After using nostr:npub17tyke9lkgxd98ruyeul6wt3pj3s9uxzgp9hxu5tsenjmweue6sqq4y3mgl for the last couple of months, I'm convinced it's the best way to secure your bitcoin. Why?
It's trustless, like the ethos of Bitcoin. You're using off-the-shelf hardware, the code is open source, keys can (and should) be generated offline and the device isn't even storing your them!
Keys are stored in a QR code and should be backed up to something physical (stainless steel, etc). A passphrase is crucial. It provides the final level of protection from various forms of attack.
No need to twist yourself in knots and trust secure elements, closed-source code, kill-switch PINs, etc. After using a Trezor One for years, I'm convinced SeedSigner is the way.
This guy gets me. 🫶

Really happy to be able to make SeedSigner logo t-shirts available again, a portion of the proceeds will go to our dev fund. ProofofInk has been great to work with on this. 🧡

Imagine their faces when #Bitcoin replaces gold and they see our nostr:npub17tyke9lkgxd98ruyeul6wt3pj3s9uxzgp9hxu5tsenjmweue6sqq4y3mgl cases made of 18K gold

Looks like. Solid post on SeedSigner for a Korean speaking audience:

Hey Bitcoin fam - I want to post a brief update as I start my Junior year of Bitcoin. I enrolled in this university of life back in 2021, without realizing how much I still had to learn. Becoming aware of the Matrix, being "fortunate" enough to be pulled from it's seductive comforts, was an incredibly painful experience.
But through my education I have found more meaning and purpose in my daily existence than ever before. I have met amazing people, studied innumerable rabbit holes of technical and social bodies of knowledge, learned how to take care of my body (shed 25 pounds of fat).
Denominating your life in BTC, hodling, and making the next right decision to continue building order in your life is a beautiful thing. A low time-preference combined with being gratefulAF for this moment now is an astoundingly beautiful thing.
My freshman year of Bitcoin was highlighted by purging shitcoinery and stinking fiat thinking from my brain. The amount of deprogramming and reprogramming required to adapt to life outside the Matrix is substantial. You have to put in the work. I also became an nostr:npub132ertlsrunh600cph2au55ssmel2cqdt5mnrpxfand5ych4nmp8q50zmdh nostr:npub1az9xj85cmxv8e9j9y80lvqp97crsqdu2fpu3srwthd99qfu9qsgstam8y8 & coldcard superfan in 2022, connected with my personal Bitcoin hero Craig Raw, and honed my cold storage skills in a 1 vbyte environment. Priceless.
My sophomore year of Bitcoin was highlighted by both an epic bear market to stack, getting to shake nostr:npub1w69ya7xs697hk3hky3gllryz8rwverfa0ylz89chf9qnhfcskc2s64zltw hand at a Bitcoin Meetup, as well as the opportunity to get involved with The Bitcoin Product Community and then eventually the nostr:npub17tyke9lkgxd98ruyeul6wt3pj3s9uxzgp9hxu5tsenjmweue6sqq4y3mgl project. I connected with nostr:npub1tv8gmfhalwnxxquxjzeh6gtdsdz6vg7vx0s3rt7s7uuw6aujh32qn77wn2, learned how to use Github, and brought my project management expertise to their project in support of the monumental 0.7.0 release (It's reproducible forever, Laura!). That is an amazing team of amazing humans, not the least of which was nostr:npub1rfd0hxdzcze6pzj29thuz34vur57wm9quje7w3edxjgusq6m47csnl7wrt (the nicest dev in Bitcoin) nostr:npub177zfcmyscnl7805qtx7cn8v9607n3s9m096fl8nev5uzqdg6mruqshdp8e (the 2nd nicest dev in Bitcoin) and MarcG. I look forward to seeing what they bring to the space in coming years. PS the Team Coldcard vs Team Seedsigner saber rattling is fun and healthy, but we’re all on the same team at the end of the day. <3
I am happy to announce at the start of my junior year of Bitcoin that I’ve been accepted by nostr:npub1jkmthefasx53u36lhzu2g7x3jwlapf235435svl2mx0tjchp57vsvvcrvd and nostr:npub1dergggklka99wwrs92yz8wdjs952h2ux2ha2ed598ngwu9w7a6fsh9xzpc into the nostr:npub10pensatlcfwktnvjjw2dtem38n6rvw8g6fv73h84cuacxn4c28eqyfn34f organization as an official volunteer. In this role, I’ll be helping their new Head of Fiat Operations (not a boring guy!) and the rest of the team to execute projects in support of the amazing mission and vision of OpenSats. This is going to be fun.
I’ve got a long way yet to go on my Bitcoin journey. It feels almost like a second life altogether. Every step thus far has been meaningful and I can’t wait to see what the future may bring.
STAY HUMBLE AND STACK SATS
Congratulations Precept! We're lucky to have you as a bitcoiner!!!

So glad we were able to get this Orange Clock build up and running!

Seedsigner is great. Love what they are doing with that project. nostr:npub17tyke9lkgxd98ruyeul6wt3pj3s9uxzgp9hxu5tsenjmweue6sqq4y3mgl nostr:npub1tv8gmfhalwnxxquxjzeh6gtdsdz6vg7vx0s3rt7s7uuw6aujh32qn77wn2

Fun fact: You can use the same math that underlies the bitcoin network to secure your bitcoin savings. 🤯
These 3 places
Not sure when tho but definitely soon check Tg first

Am selling p2p for sats to give plebs the first bite at the apple, then will be listed in the store. I'm only selling assembled aluminum signers right now, a la carte canbe bought from MoneroTime, but he may only accept Monero.
Price pumps 2%, I open Zillow. Those are the rules.
All I see are trash builder homes and McMansions.
This is why you should be shopping for land, an architect and a builder. 🙂
Not sure if I'm the one, but take a look if you're curious. 🙂

Here is the recording of my keynote from Bitcoin Amsterdam earlier this month -- it covers a good amount of my back story & the "why" that underlies our project.
A big thank you to nostr:npub16vrkgd28wq6n0h77lqgu8h4fdu0eapxgyj0zqq6ngfvjf2vs3nuq5mp2va & Bitcoin Magazine for the opportunity.

Always with the FUD and lies. "They/them" -- specifically who are the they/them that are encouraging this? I can personally provide multiple receipts where I make it clear to people that the most trustless way to acquire a SeedSigner is to privately acquire the parts and build it themselves. Your negative assertions are always perfectly vague, the classic definition of FUD. And most people see right through it. Your products are generally good but so many won't buy them because they observe this kind of behavior; people privately share this with me all of the time. It's like you can't help but sabotage yourself because you're a victim of your own insecurity. There should be room for all of us as bitcoin continues to grow. We should all be collaborating at a minimum as "frenemies", not throat-cutting over bear market scraps. Sad. 😕
