certainly less popular than it once was....

what is the value prop of blue wallet?

one of the few mobile wallets I know that plays well with using Electrum as an offline signer.

You can import xpub into BW and then compose the transaction in BW and "export" via QRCode to Electrum which can sign and then reimport the signed TXN back into BW to broadcast.

In this way you can use an old (offline) laptop as a signer and have your own "hardware wallet" setup.

Heard good things about nunchuck recently, which maybe can do the same....

fair point

but... electrum, xpub, hardware wallet, nunchuk... not exactly beginner friendlyl

update: isn't it easier to use CoinOS.io or Aqua wallet?

reply

Yeah AQUA is much better for beginner. Its in fact my daily driver.

The problem comes with dealing with cold storage. The beginner friendly approach is to get a hardware wallet (which is a decent option). I happen to not be in love with idea of using "hardware wallets".

My concern with them is the "20 year problem". Is any of that going to work in 20 years? Will the computing device you are using have USB ports? Will the hardware even still work by then? etc etc.

Secondly, I got burned by Ledger back in 2018 or whenever their customer list got leaked...I mean the CEO just got kidnapped....not overly excited with having my name / address on someones mailing list.

good point...

I like CoinOS for beginners because they support on chain, lightning and liquid and it's browser based and no KYC and no password and based in Canada

regarding hardware wallets, I recommend Casa for multi-sig using Jade (plus or not) or Trezor

Ledger is unfortunate... I like Jade, Trezor or Cold Card

I'm a big fan of Casa multi-sig

yep regarding casa, they do it well.

Been thinking about the jade+ recently. It seems to have most of the features that I'm looking for...

I use coinOs, Aqua, Casa, Swan, Strike and River

plus MSTR in my Fidelity account
