The Ledger debacle that caused the leak of customer information (down to their home addresses) is making me hesitant in purchasing a hardware wallet.
There are services out there that will buy the hardware wallet on behalf of you, but expect an additional fee for that.
Also, as what mentioned above, Trezor seems more reliable when it comes to privacy, but of course you need to trust them for that.
I've found this resource, is this proper procedure? The guide is incomplete though as it doesn't say how to generate the address from the mnemonic. Could someone fill in the rest?
This is hassle and looks like just experimental and probably not secure. I would prefer to use an existing way
[1] how to create paper wallets or wallets from open source software and generate in an offline device or simply using an air gapped device.
Or is Tails OS/Electrum preferred?
Creating cold storage using electrum is one of the secured and easiest way to create one.
