I have a Trezor One, which is getting old, and which is not working in many shitcoin wallet software anymore. I decided to buy the cheapest model of the Ledger, then I remembered this topic. Haha.

This is going to be a laughable question. What's safer to use, a consumer laptop used merely for Bitcoin and shitcoining, or a Ledger Nano S+?


I don't use my Ledger nano s+ since they introduced that controversial recovery service but sometimes become interesting  in what is going  on the relevant scene. Yesterday I have surprisingly learn that the future firmware releases will add the ability to unsubscribe from this service, Are they going to be in retreat, what are your thoughts on this matter ?



But the "Recovery Service" won't be "on" if you don't turn it "on", no?

They say that this service must be turn on to be operational, but I think that the general concern is not about service itself but their hidden potential  to extract SEED against your will which might be lurked in their close code. All bitcoiners me including are paranoid in some extend which is probably good, better safe than sorry.
