10 sats \ 6 replies \ @BitcoinHandsOn 23h \ on: When is the right time to buy a hardware wallet? bitcoin_beginners
There's a lot of manufacturer propaganda about needing hardware wallets. But I think there's some significant attack vectors with them.
I'd say that you're more likely to have a problem when the entire customer database of your hardware wallet manufacturer gets hacked and put up for sale. Like Ledger has, for instance.
Compared to that, a knowledgeable person with your electrum/TailsOS setup is likely better off.
If you really want one, check out Seedsigner.com.
The manufacturer being hacked is a real concern. I will look into SeedSigner.
What do you think about Trezor Bitcoin Only, since its firmware and app are open source too?
reply
I get dozens of emails a week from scammers who got my email from a HWW vendor hack.
its a real problem.
if you are going to get one, have it sent to your local bitcoin club instead of your house
same with seed plates
reply
same... seedsigner looks boss, that's what I will do for myself at some point.
I still have an extra HWW in a drawer tho, so I don't k ow when I will make the switch

Yeah, I have a DIY seed plate from my local hardware store.

What do you do - stamp words, or scratch them in?

I haven't looked into Trezor Bitcoin Only. I would still trust SeedSigner more.
They have a very active and helpful telegram channel - https://t.me/joinchat/GHNuc_nhNQjLPWsS
