Update: Ordered the good one with a colour touchscreen (woah!). Should be here in 3-4 days.
Very impressed reading their site, they are clearly far more dedicated to true OPSEC over usability compared to Ledger and I can really respect that - e.g. devices don't even come with firmware, customer details erased after 90 days when you order, their app has Tor integration, this new coinjoin announcement, etc.
Shame there's no mobile app yet but I saw they have an Android app coming soon and the web version works in the meantime.
A tails usb do not raise too much attention, it could be any dummy usb.
A dedicated well known HW device immediately will raise awareness.
Will be nice to have a Casio calculator with a hidden option to store some seeds.
Also a HW / cold wallet is not meant to be used as a daily wallet, you are not going to pay a coffee with a Trezor hanged on your neck and each time you want to pay, you plug it into your laptop to sign a tx... cmon...
A HW / cold wallet is meant to setup once, extract the xpub (for future deposits only) and close it in a safe place and never use it anymore (only in emergency cases).
Better UI for more technical users. Easier accessible features. Software wallets.
That's the first things that come into my mind why I switched a long time ago.
I don't care about how "good" it looks (at least not that much). That's why I first used Electrum. Everything I need right there.
Suite now also has Coin Control but that wasn't the case for a long time.
I switched from Electrum to Sparrow because of built-in mixing.
Sparrow is for me basically a modern Electrum with built-in mixing.
Interested in your opinion: Why Trezor Suite instead of Sparrow?
Yup. I tried everything and the Trezor is one of the best all around wallets. Reminder - update the firmware on your devices quarterly at the very least.
I use a Ledger but with the tight bitcoin specific integrations Trezor has I will probably order one today to check it out.

Excellent.
Same here, man. I still have a ledger, but not using it so much. Trezor is much better and it's opensource.
If I can ask you, could you use this link: https://trezor.io/trezor-model-one?transaction_id=102c8d6c738c473fb80a82b30e1500&offer_id=135&affiliate_id=32379
It's a referral code from my podcast.
Thank you!
I used trezor years ago before 2017. I gave them away as gifts to some noob friends.
So what you use now?
Tails. https://darthcoin.substack.com/p/build-your-hodl-btc-cold-wallet
This is only for knowleageable and comfortable with software. Noobs should use HW, is much easier for them. For me is not necessary.
I would love a smartphone-like device which can run Tails. I would buy this solely for my multisig setup.
But I guess at some point this evolves into a HWW, haha

Use the 3 levels of stashing: hodl, cache, spend https://i.postimg.cc/MTL2kvT0/3level-stash.jpg
Oh, right! I remember people playing games on their graphical calculators from Texas Instruments back in school.
Would be cool if they can be repurposed ...
I use the Trezor One but with Sparrow wallet, not Trezor Suite.
What are the advantages of using this versus Trezor Suite? Is it just about privacy?

Thank you for explanation, it makes sense in your case.
I have no experience with Sparrow, so I can't judge.
I also know, that Sparrw support ordinals and can recognize them, so i could be another case. But for now, I stay with Suite.

Agree with you.
What's everybody's take on that Trezor will use Wasabi for CoinJoin that can and has censored users?
I'm new to Trezor and love everything about it
Great, thanks!
for any noobs like me who need to look up what a coinjoin is: coinjoin wiki page
very cool and simple.
Thanks for this ;)
