Yeah like Luke Dash Jr and so many before him (and afte him for sure), he was way smarter than noobs and then...oops 😅 Saving words is certainly easy, hiding them from theft and signing a tx securely is something else though, that regular people can't do. HW are good tools

I wrote over 60+ bitcoin guides and over 3k notes on nostr. In some of them I specifically put 12 words of a wallet. In plain sight. Good luck if you can find them.

You can use passphrases or custom derivation paths and many other tricks I guess. But it's not suited for even the average bitcoiners and doesn't remove the fact that you still increase the risk of leaking enough info for an attacker to steal your funds if your setup is not good enough. Custom setup are way less secured than standard ones for many reasons.

Build your HODL BTC cold wallet

How to use TailsOS on a USB stick, with Electrum and KeePass, building your own cold wallet

This guide is good (like the cheap part and not getting attention part for sure), but way to complicated for the average Joe of course, mindblowing if you don't realize that 🤣

Kind of agree but can't unsee the fact that HWs are the easiest way to reach a strong security without aquiring much knowledge first. Eventually the brave and knowledgeable bitcoiners needs liquidity to spend their sats p2p. So the more people are onboarded thanks to easy and still secure tools, the more the "non weak" benefit from it by getting more freedom and then building even more freedome tools. It's a virtuous cicle. The network effect of Bitcoin is extremely important if we want bitcoin to work as intended (meaning end or at least shrink the State). The weak using bitcoin even for bad reasons make us way stronger.

I am not against selling these HW toys to noobs. But at least inform them well about all the options. I do not like when people present them as the "ultimate way to secure your bitcoin" to these noobs. Is like selling snake oil. Is like selling those useless masks during the plandemic scam.

I like the idea but it has major problems. I hope it succeeds!

Don't take me wrong... I like what you are doing with that Bitcoin bazaar shop. Is like an embassy and we need more of these on the streets. Love and peace.

Awesome, I had exactly this thought yesterday as I pulled out my stack of usb sticks (to do a fresh linux install, goodbye windows :) ), and thought "huh, one of these could probably be turned into a cold wallet". Perfect timing!

I don't take it wrongly, I'm not triggered by the toxicity of those that hate the State as much as me. We are clearly in the same team and should be able to listen to critics of our camps (or ignore them) without getting angry lol

Oops doxed, can't delete that nostr shit 🤣

I'm using alby browser remote signer with many nsec embedded in it. And with primal destop it can get tricky because is shows you as logged with an ID while in fact you sign the event with another other nsec if you are not careful

hahaha I already knew it was you. no worry.
