Hardware wallets

Thanks, I'll check it out. Haven't heard of anti-klepto before, sounds like I got some reading to do.

Thanks, I'll check the guides out. 

Hopefully can find some options for it outside of Rasp Pi for hardware (not exactly security purpose built hardware, nor designed to be).

Thanks for the thorough response. 

This is a huge help and provides some context I was missing (such as SeedQR). 

As a bonus, I've now also come across the Athena Alpha website which looks to be a really nice source of reviews and guides.  Always a win when coming across more resources to help with learning.

Currently using a ColdCard Mk4 (it's pretty awesome with it's features, durability, and reliability) with PSBT micro-SD and a ColdPower, but looking for comparable products from other companies in terms of ethos and security for a multi-sig setup.

I have some Ledgers laying around, but for a number of reasons I don't wish to use them any longer.

Ideally I'd like to use something with PSBT (device not be plugged into a computer) and has been both OS and hardware vulnerability vetted against private key extraction (comparable at least to a ColdCard).  

I'd also prefer it to be a Bitcoin only device.

For software Sparrow is my go to and won't be using software or an app that comes with any hardware.

I was looking at Foundation, but don't have any deeper insight than a surface look.

Anybody have any recommendations that they've been using for awhile and hit those checkboxes?

Thanks for any feedback!

Assuming proper UTXO labeling and understanding consolidation pros and cons:

* Is there a UTXO count that you stay below for later fees, not overwhelming signing devices, and ensuring labels are cleanly labeled? 500? 100? 50? 25? 10? etc...
* Do you just let it grow with no management or grow in UTXO with only labeling? Any long term plans to manage?
* How are you factoring future spending (if ever) as the value continues to increase if managing your UTXO set given change output could reveal too much? IE: Too tight of consolidation makes for chunky UTXOs that could be problematic using for expenditures far less than the UTXO.
* Do you have a preferred mix? 50% chunkier UTXOs and remaining 50% in several smaller? 
* What's considered a large UTXO set for when dealing with signing devices? 50? 100? 500? more? May help some context.

I've been around for a handful of years now and in it long term, but UTXO management seems like it wouldn't be a bad idea to stay somewhat organized for the future (many more years) without it getting too unkempt.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

My first post hopefully doing it right.
