While Jade is one of the less bad and less overpriced overhyped HWs I would always recommend people learn how to build their own cold storage...to maximise your monetary sovereignty.

Its not difficult and completely frees you from dependence upon these third party devices.

IMO diy cold storage is far superior as you are more in control and you learn in the process rather than being reliant upon a gadget.

You can build a 100% offline wallet using a usb install linux OS

If you want to go even further build your own Bitcoin node.

And remember no HW can remember your seed phrase for you so one low cost option is to use this method to safely store your seed phrase long term.

Also, you can do the same thing with Sparrow that this doc explains how to do, in Electrum - https://electrum.readthedocs.io/en/latest/coldstorage.html

Bought two of them a while ago but I soon found out they do not support taproot addresses which makes them useless for my intended use. Cool devices though.

Good to know thanks

Isn't supporting Taproot addresses a matter of what client you're using rather than the hardware signer? And even in the latter case, can't this be fixed by a firmware upgrade?

10 sats \ 0 replies \ @bigrouter 30 Nov

Yes it can be supported by a future firmware upgrade (which is in fact planned for a while now).

The clients I've used all support taproot but the device can't handle it yet.

🎉 Jade is great and bitcoin-safe.org has full support for the Jade for single or multisig

Wow, there are definitely lots of discounts, thanks for sharing the info.

I'm going to be grabbing a few of these for the kiddos as soon as I've got some disposable income. For now they use paper locked in the safe. I've looked into numerous options and these seem to be a decent middle ground.

Interesting how there was Black Friday deals since the beginning of the week (by various vendors), but then they change them as the week goes on. I wish I had waited to buy anything.
