ColdCard is coming out with a new version, I just listened to an interview with him by Stephan Livera, and he seems like a person with integrity if you are looking for BTC only wallet.
The only problem for me in practice was that the red light was blinking instead of the green, which shouldn't have been happening (I reflashed the software on the device in my multisig setup, which I decreased the trust somewhat). If I would have been more patient, I would have sent back the device for a replacement.
- magicjosh 5y agoI will check out ColdCard again, thanks! Last I checked they were Bitcoin-only. edit: still bitcoin-only Seems like Trezor "blinked" here and tried to keep everyone happy. I wonder if Block/Square is going to eat Trezor's lunch by providing a badass wallet for people that don't care about KYC. And then ColdCard will be for users that are strictly anti-KYC. And Trezor gets stuck in the middle and goes out of business.
- xiphias2 5y agoI'm Bitcoin only as well, and Block/Square hardware wallet will be the same, so it probably won't be good for you either. There are lots of features in Bitcoin that are important and not addressed by mixed wallets because of the lack of development time, so these two types of wallets are getting separated by the market (which I see as a good thing both for Bitcoiners and mixed-coiners).
- xiphias2 5y agoI can't reply to you because of the depth limit of HN, but generally Jameson Lopp does extremely serious testing of hardware wallets (blog.lopp.net)
- magicjosh 5y agoAppreciate the thoughtful reply! I'm biased towards specialization myself. With that in mind, I'm jazzed to see different species of hardware wallets proliferate. Any good sites tracking all the different types? edit: thanks!
