Finally going with a hardware wallet. Leaning towards trezor T unless you can convince me to go with ledger...

for free? what's the catch?

This is highly anecdotal if not a troll comment, my Ledger took seconds to connect to Metamask and I also have a Trezor One

I'm gonna stop lurking and ask what the benefits/setbacks are to using hardware storage

my ledger arrived broke
it took me two months to get a replacement
i sold my 10k link within that time

i will be poor forever because of ledger fuck those niggers

i have a trezor t and a nano x (and a keepkey, a ledger blue and a nano s) and the nano x is the most comfy one and best supported of all.

Maybe this is a good option, but I damn sure do not trust it based on how cheap their website looks, Ledger or Trezor are both solid from what I have experienced, best is a paper wallet/steel wallet, but Ledger/Trezor are the inbetween

Steel seed-Ledger/Trezor-Metamask or said wallet software

the private key is stored on a separate secure enclave within the device, and is only used to sign transactions before broadcasting it to the network.

i actually pay you 5% of your portfolio if you have the stamping done by me

wow that's a great deal. PM sent

Wow you mean you'll let me keep a whole 5% of my portfolio? What a nice key stamper.

>benifits
your private key is airgapped from your devices
>setbacks
they are a bit expensive, some wallets may be vulnerable to certain attacks, overall it's probably the best solution if you move crypto frequently. If you don't move it frequently then an airgapped liveusb will suffice for signing transactions securely

this. at least ledger signs the hardware, so nobody can tamper with it unless they also get a hacked version of ledger live on your pc. trezor should have the same thing, tho i haven't checked.

Why is the Nano X most comfy? Are you using bluetooth or usb to connect?

usb mostly because for 3rd party apps that works smoothly. for ledger live probably the blueooth works as well (it connects to the pc now, earlier it didn't even connect) but i haven't tried. maybe later on 3rds will go w bluetooth too.
but being able to use it on phone w bliuetooth, so you don't need to carry a notebook to localbitcoin deals for example is huge.
nano shape is far more convenient for travel than terzor's. just look at it, trezor t is simply unconveniently shaped to fit into places.
nano x comes over pretty much all shortcomings the s had over trezor, though at the price of a bigger size.
nano lets you set up 2 pins with 2 different portfolios, so you can use a secondary pin with a smaller portfolio when robbers come to chop you up.

but most importantly, ledger hasn't been hacked unlike trezor.

yes it has:

Do Nano S and Nano X both have the second pin option?

desu i have only used it on the s so far, and automatically assumed the x has it, but haven't tried. the s def has it.

That was for the Nano S, I guess this means the Nano X has never been hacked.

Appreciate it

Trezor is insecure physically, if a specialist gets it, it can be hacked in 15 minutes.
Ledger is secure because it uses a special tamper resistant chip

so i didn't watch the video yet, but what did he achieve? just running custom software on the nano s? ofc that could happen. newsflash: someone could also just put together an altogether counterfeit ledger nano and ship THAT to you as well. BUT the ledger live software will catch on to that and tell you the device is not genuine. can he still fool the software on the computer with the hacked bootloader? no right? because apparently ledger said this is not a vulnerability
