I think I'm finally going to get a hardware wallet and want to #asknostr what the general consensus is on @Blockstream 's Jade Pus?
Are there any major downsides to the device?

I was just at the #bitcoinrodeo in Calgary on the weekend and bought one from a vendor. I’m looking forward to start using and abusing (err… testing) it. It will be my first hardware wallet. 😬
Can’t help you with Jade plus cause never used it, but bitbox02 was my first and it’s fantastic, super easy to use and so small! Then I upgraded to the holy grail of ColdcardQ and never looked back!
Why the change to Coldcard? Instead of staying with Bitbox
ColdcardQ has some extra features:
- air-gapped (it’s safer)
- easier to type thanks to big keyboard
- easier, faster and safer to check balance/movement through sparrow wallet
- anti-fishing words to warn you if someone tried to fuck with it
- teleportation feature
- Bip85 (create “children” wallets from it)
And there are more! I haven’t even finished exploring all of them.
Bitbox02 is still amazing, love how small it is. But as you can see coldcardQ simply has way more features, couldn’t recommend it enough man
Ah great. Will check, although more expensive.
Up to you man, you are gonna be fine with both anyway 👍🏼
