And how many people will be comparing them? We are talking about people with IQ consisting of only two digits who infect their own computers with malware and still operate them.

Generate addresses that have matching few first digits like 1dice for every starting digits and have the malware to select address with matching start digits to display on LCD.

I can do many things, but I can't fix stupid.

Many people try to do just that. Wallet encryption in original Bitcoin client is just that. How many trojan horses don't came with a keylogger?

OK, say you want to make a transaction. You fill out four things in the PC client: the wallet to transfer from, the amount of BTC, the destination address and the password for the wallet.
You press OK, and the transaction is sent to the device via USB for signing.

The Send-To address is changed by malware to another address before being sent to hardware wallet for signing. Hardware signs the transaction.

You cannot get any security on compromised computer! It is only a question how sophisticated is the malware.

That's why the destination address is displayed on the hardware display.

It should be pronounced for blind users.

What should the wallet do for retarded users? Make a USB-powered lobotomy?
