I've been trying to get a hold of one of those cold storage thumb drive wallets for a month. Everywhere I look is sold out. I guess people really are catching on to all the advantages you point out in favor of them. Great write up.
- um_ya 9y agoBest I know of, is to just make a Tails linux USB drive. It comes with a bitcoin wallet built in.
- Arubis 9y agoThat's an excellent tip, thank you!
- Arubis 9y agoThe shortage of these is so extended that many people (myself included) are trying to profit from it; most hardware wallets are going for 2x-3x retail on AMZN/eBay. I'm arguably part of the problem; I bulk-ordered some Ledger Nano S some time back in hopes of flipping them above retail before they're reliably restocked. Since they're so far backordered, though, I might just end up out my capex (sans the part where I'd have bought one or two for myself anyway).
- StavrosK 9y agoThere seems to be a shortage of Ledgers, yes. I wouldn't pay 3x the price (which means I'd sell you mine if I didn't have coins on it), but it's easily the best purchase if you have more than a few hundred dollars' worth of coins, or if you're a geek like me. I especially love how it supports multiple cryptocurrencies with the same keys, so I can just store everything in the same place with no hassle.
