Trezor developers are even calling paper wallet a relic of the past
They gain customers if people believe that, so I can't help but think they might be biased.
I know some people who generated their paper wallets on normal computer with internet connection, using their every day browser.
There are also people who fall for phishing emails and give away their hardware wallet seed. That doesn't make the system bad, it makes the users dumb.
There is no newbie warning on bitaddress.org website to download page and use offline generation...
There's a link to the
GitHub Repository, and indeed the site recommending blockchain.info is a bit outdated. Legacy addresses aren't that modern either, so you could argue the entire site is a
relic of the past. But I also appreciate just keeping it up, and people should learn not to do things without understanding it,
especially when it comes to Bitcoin.
I'll quote eddie13 for this:
Should never have put the temporary illusion of safety above personal liberty..
I'm all for warning Newbies, but I sure hope we don't reach the "don't put your cat in the microwave" level of warnings.
