I have been doing some research on hardware wallets (countless days!). I’ve used a Ledger before, despite their email hacks. I read about the recent Cold Card hack, and that scared me. So I plan to do dice rolls to create my own seed.
I will rarely be doing transactions, so I think a stateless device is best, which led me to Blockstream’s Jade (which can be used in stateless mode) and Seedsigner, which you build yourself. I’ve also seen the Seedsigner+ which looks easier to use, but its not on the seedsigner website.
I’m a little nervous about the seedsigner just because its DIY. I’m fine building it, but how can we trust the firmware/software used on it? I know its open source, but is there any way for someone who can’t code to feel confident its totally safe to use? I’m just a bit unsure how it all works with open source stuff, especially when its a free DIY thing
Also open to other options, but as far as I can tell, these are my best bets. It would be nice to have the most ergonomic one for typing in the seed very occasionally, as that can take a while with an annoying little wheel! Thats why I saw the Seedsigner+. I don’t want to leave QR codes lying around
thanks
