most people don't really care about better security until some disasters happens, and than they can blame everyone else.

I hate that you're right, but... you're right.

I'm of the opinion that we all owe it to the community to keep teaching people how to properly secure their coins. I've explained passphrases and how to create a strong one more times that I can even remember, but I keep doing it, because it matters. I've explained the reasons to write a seed down on paper and make a metal backup, and store those two items in two separate locations only you have access to. I've written about the importance of these things more times than I can remember. I'm sure many of you have too. And we have to keep on explaining, and keep on teaching, because so many people still don't understand the basics of security, and because there's a constant influx of newcomers who need to learn these things.

But no matter how hard we try to help... as you said... most people don't really care about security until it's too late, and then they blame everyone else.

We have to keep trying anyway, because for every ten idiots who don't listen, if we're lucky there will be one person who does.

In terms of securing a seed: My favorite hardware wallet is an open source project called Krux. It's fully airgapped and uses SeedQR. Krux makes it easy to create an encrypted SeedQR, so even if somebody finds the QR code, they can't use it (or even tell what it is). The encrypted SeedQRs don't even need Krux to be decrypted (so long as you don't lose the decryption key you created, which is basically a password or passphrase). It's a brilliant system, and the hardware to run it on only costs around $50.

All that is good but seems to be fully of topic (and pathetic at the same time)

.

The core of this threat is to discuss various techniques used by hardware wallets to harvest the randomness while your post said nothing about this.

Thus. let's resume the natural course.

How would you compare the quality of entropy generated by Krux vs other wallets listed by OP?
