Which offline wallet is the safest for Bitcoin Cash?

Which wallet's source code has been audited?

I'm not a fan of hardware wallets because there is no assurance that a rogue employee cannot put in malware into the firmware.

Hardware wallets make me nervous...
The Ledger Reddit forum is full of issues, servers have been spotty for a month, too complicated, man...

Nano > firmware > PC > Chrome > Ledger Manager > Bitcoin/Shitcoin Wallet > Ledger Server > Nano

What could possibly go wrong? Have 2 Nano S but they make me really nervous.

Running a full BCH node on a separate machine you do not use for anything else...
Is probably safe enough... at least you have control and can even go air-gapped for ultra-security.

For Bitcoin Cash online I would go with Electron Cash...
It's dead simple and their servers have been very reliable the last month.

Most importantly DON'T  BE  A  FUCKING  EXHIBITIONIST.

How does one be an exhibitionist?  I added the following to the OP.  Do you know the answers to these questions?  

I’m trying to use Electron Cash’s source code on a Mac, but I cannot follow the instructions in the README.rst or RELEASE-NOTES files.

I’ve downloaded "Electron-Cash-2.9.4.tar.gz”.  What do I do next?  Do I simply run the following commands in the Mac terminal and then run the dmg file to install the binary?

Code:
   python setup-release.py py2app

    hdiutil create -fs HFS+ -volname "Electron-Cash" -srcfolder dist/Electron-Cash.app dist/electron-cash-VERSION-macosx.dmg

I eventually want to create an offline wallet like I did with Electrum.  Can I do the same with Electron?
I think you can do the same as like electrum since electron cash is made by developers of electrum .

I searched that there are other people too are  having  error when installing electron cash in their mac i just found it here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VTylS6em-G0
