Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion

Finally moved my stash to a Blockstream Jade from my Ledger Nano S.
I had made sure that all my backups etc worked before hand but it is still nerve wracking sending all your wealth around and trusting that it all works as intended.
I feel relieved although I probably picked the worst time to move bitcoin around due to the current fees.
Oh well all done now.

How do you like your Jade HW? I am interested to take a look at other HWs vs. Trezor (Model T which I like, but...). The new Passport HW also looks interesting as it works with QR codes.

Personally I think the Jade is, in some ways, the best hardware signer available.

-Can store a seed using a unique security model that does not need a proprietary secure chip
-Can do the above with you running your own blind oracle.
-100% FOSS Hard and Soft (You can build your own out of commodity hardware)
-Works with Liquid (could be useful some day Wink

)
-Can also be stateless like the Seedsigner (also a GREAT hardware signer)
-Small
-Has a battery
-Has a camera
-Full HWI support (works with all the great SW wallets)
-Also a good official wallet (green)
-Can sign fully airgapped via QR codes.

-edit- So you know my account was not hacked by Blockstream... I also would love to see a Monero FW developed for the Jade.

-edit#2- Also unlike other fine maxi wallets it really IS open source and the company is not run by elitist jerks...

Wow, great comments re Jade, thanks. It looks good, probably worth an experimental buy soon. I do have their Green wallet on my PC.

I have been pretty happy with my Trezor T and BitBox 02, but I really like the idea of being able to transfer BTC by QR codes. I agree re Liquid maybe being a good idea, especially if/when mining fees go up again.

Nice remark about Jade being truly open-source and them not being elitist jerks, I have read that Adam Back has been a true pioneer in cryptography for many years.

Trezors are great... so is the Bitbox, and Ledgers and so on each in their own way. I own a LOT of hardware wallets. Even a KeepKey which is a fork of the Trezor.

As to Adam Back... what you have read is true. Some people think he is even Satoshi (I do not really... buuuut.. maybe?). But one thing is for sure. His name appears in the Bitcoin Whitepaper!
