Do you need help? We got a lot of do it yourself guides out there and that practice (even if you don't ultimately use it after setting it up) will help you understand self-custody in a way that you can't be rug pulled (no reliance on customer support, no reliance on company software updates, and full understanding of how to take care of yourself)

Also, I need to add this to the repo. We have wallets with bad entropy from time to time: https://armantheparman.com/dicev1/

The instructions on GitHub for hardware wallets is fun to read.
The guide goes like: "How to assemble SeedSigner", while any other is: "How to rip off component X from device Y'. 🤣

They might be better off making custodial services instead of deceiving people, it would be clear what their true objective is...
