Looks like a cool concept, but nothing beats seedsigner for bitcoin-only hw wallets imho. Still, good to have alternatives, might turn out useful for someone.

can you expand on that? is it custodial in some way or you just don't like the company?

Big-tech. Closed-source. Privacy-invasive.

yeah I don't know if that alone is enough. sure its less trusted than an open-source wallet but thats usually not the wallet you keep your life savings. I still believe having 2-3 harware wallets with different tiers of security makes sense.

Explain your argument to why you need a hardware wallet, or even multiple of them.

like why you need one at all? so you don't get your life savings stolen by either a custodian or just someone accessing your trust wallet. Airgapping from the internet is huge also.

Looks like we have another option. Good one.

Sounds cool! I don't see the hassle of having a powered hardware signer when you are always using it in tandem with a powered device, but cool concept. Would like to see a comparison to tapsigner.
