Bitcoin Forum

I am the author of the article. I didn't know someone already posted it here !!!

And you probably saw traffic coming from Bitcointalk and you registered after that.
It's not that I trust you or don't trust you, but maybe you could edit the original blog article (or spreadsheet) and add your bitcointalk forum profile link (or forum post link), that would prove that you are the original author Maxi Rosson.
And please try not to write many consecutive forum posts in short span of time, that is against forum rules ;)

Hi. I added my Bitcointalk profile link to the bottom of the spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1-8DLbhxtOcDEBPl8-IAGWaoyx1H02JSz9hADCgAGyCo/edit#gid=0 (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1-8DLbhxtOcDEBPl8-IAGWaoyx1H02JSz9hADCgAGyCo/edit#gid=0).

Thanks for the suggestion regarding the consecutive posts.

Thanks for creating the spreadsheet and writing the article. I know about ColdCard hardware, but i just found found out existence of "Seed XOR" feature. Also, could you explain why "From USB Data" under "Firmware Upgrade" has red color while "From Bluetooth/microSD" has green color? Personally i don't see much difference from security perspective.

AFAIK connecting to USB Data is less secure than using a microSD, because you are forced to connect your device to a machine with an internet connection. That's why coldcard allows you to disable the USB data, so you are 100% air-gapped. Probably Bluetooth is something in the middle between USB Data & microSD and should be with orange color in the spreadsheet.

USB connection with hardware wallets is not the same as regular USB connection, but it's true that this can't be considered as air-gapped device, unless USB is used only for charging.
However I don't see big advantage for microSD cards, and I much more prefer QR codes for air-gapped devices, like Passport and Keystone are using.

I don't like Bluetooth at all, and I am not a fan of NFC that is just antenna with shorter range, but for everything there are pros and cons.

Just I can't go over the thing that I feel safe only if I see the transaction on the HW screen. All in all it's somewhere between "very nice" and "no, thank you".

A screen is definitely essential. Without visual confirmation on the hardware wallet itself, you cannot know whether your clipboard has been tampered with.
And clipboard attacks are definitely one of the easier ones to pull off, due to relatively simple access to it by applications. Think of all the websites that let you 'copy to clipboard' e.g. when sharing a video link. That's their code that puts something in your clipboard. The same way, it could replace an address on your clipboard with a different one and you'll send the funds to them, unknowingly.

There's always a screen (or I thought so), just some HW tend to use the software wallet's device/screen as place where one will double check addresses ^{[emphasis mine]} (to avoid the indeed so easy clipboard related hacks)

and even to handle (display or input) the seed. I find this approach quite bad and unnecessary, since if one can use that safely indeed, then he can already use a cold storage, and the vast majority will setup the HW unsafely.

Now comparing 28 hardware wallets, feature by feature

Added dimension for all the wallets and also added Tapsigner.

I am trying to add as many wallets as possible. I didn't know oneKey, I will add it. Thanks for mentioning it. I am open to new suggestions.

Thanks for that link with all those wallets. I am trying to focus on the more popular and best wallets, because there are lots of them.

With 120 x 75 x 22 mm this is now officially largest hardware wallet device in the world... it's yuge  :D

I will add those two wallets you mentioned to my list of wallets to evaluate.

The waterproof section is not new, I just moved the row. I am trying to confirm if I have some mistakes.
Waiting confirmation from Keevo and Ngrave teams

Ellipal & Coolwallet are waterproof, they mention that here:
https://www.ellipal.com/blogs/news/the-dangers-of-physical-attacks-on-your-hardware-wallet
https://www.coolwallet.io/introducing-the-coolwallet-pro-for-enhanced-staking-defi-dapp-and-nft-support/

Arculus support answered this to me in the past:
"Yes, the Arculus Key™ Card is waterproof, but we don't advise submerging it in water if you can avoid it."

Arculus support answered this to me in the past:
"Yes, the Arculus Key™ Card is waterproof, but we don't advise submerging it in water if you can avoid it."

This is because in general the wallet should still be easy to destroy in case of a 5$ wrenching attack  ;)

Physical destruction of HWs in "most cases" isn't going to give you enough protection against such attacks ^{[unfortunately]}... A decoy wallet would probably provide better protection, but this feature doesn't exist in some of the HWs.

That’s true for most wallets but it’s kind of a design flaw from the manufacturer, since it is an important security feature to be able to destroy the device easily.

Not only because you need it in case of an attack but also if you want to throw away your device after it is old.

In my coldcard the secure storage devices are clearly labelled and easy to destroy for example.

@maxirosson
Is there a confirmation from Coinkite that Tapsigner isn't waterproof ^{[I had no luck in finding it]}? I was under the impression that almost all of these smart cards are either waterproof or at least water-resistant to a certain degree...

Added for almost every wallet:
* materials
* custom node, tesnet & coin control support

Great work!
I didn't know new ledger Sux Stax is made from aluminum and plastic, it looks nice but I don't think that is durable at all, I am mostly concerned about their screen.
-snip-

E-Ink® type screen is a screen used to replicate the experience of reading and writing on paper.
This display is usually gray but it can be colored as well (but there is no color display in Ledger Stax) and Ledger Stax is intended for special NFT hardware wallets.

I know ledger Stax is using E-Ink screen and I like that idea, but I don't know how durable that exact screen is, and like you said it doesn't make much sense to use this for their ''NFT'' purpose.

JerryRigEverything is great and I enjoy watching his testing torture videos, but Kindle Scribe is not the same as ledger device/screen.
I guess someone should send Jerry one of this ledger devices so we can have clear picture about durability :D

BREAKING NEWS
I deprecated the Google Spreadsheet and launched a new website comparing 32 Hardware Wallets

Bookmarked!
Very good update and I like left and right navigation arrows you added on this website.
I know we all have zoom features on out browsers, but maybe you could add custom zoom out button mode so we can see all wallets in one page.
There is Filter tab greyed out so maybe you could add more options for that later, based on wallet features and characteristics.

Great update.
From Google Sheets and finally migrated to a website that is quite responsive for desktop display.

But for the Mobile display, it seems that it is not fully compatible and needs a little improvement so that the mobile-specific display is more precise and suitable for mobile users.
https://i.postimg.cc/9fXL9NRq/webHW.jpg

https://i.postimg.cc/R0PXLQKp/search-box-icon-png-9.jpg
And maybe some suggestions like a Search Button are needed when like me, a Safepal or Ledger user wants to see my wallet hardware information without having to navigate too far to the right.

Overall, this is a great update and makes it easier to find all types of Hardware wallets.

BREAKING NEWS
I deprecated the Google Spreadsheet and launched a new website comparing 32 Hardware Wallets:

https://wallets.thebitcoinhole.com/ (https://wallets.thebitcoinhole.com/)

The site offers some advantages compared with the spreadsheet:
- Improved usability and look & feel
- Possibility to filter wallets so you can only see and compare the ones you are interested
- Added more contextual information about each compared feature
- Fixed some data errors.
- It is open source, so everyone can suggest changes or fix errors: https://github.com/thebitcoinhole/hardware-wallets


I plan to continue adding more features and wallets to compare.

 

-snip-
I am a bit limited on mobile, it's not easy to display more than two wallets at the same time. Do you have any particular issue on your mobile device?

Thanks for the feedback. Yes, I plan to add some preloaded filters like BTC-only wallets.
Not sure if all the wallets can be visible at the same time. But I could try changing the column width so we can see more wallets at the same time.

Here are a few ideas:
Price range - this would allow users to filter wallets based on their budget.
Security features - this would allow users to filter wallets based on specific security features, such as secure element, biometric recognition, etc.
Display size - some people prefer larger screens for readability, while others prefer smaller screens for portability.
Another potential filter option could be based on the connectivity of the wallet, such as Bluetooth or USB.
etc

But its still missing Satochip hardware wallet (https://satochip.io), wen sir ?
Do you have a github page or something like that to allow contributions ?

There are things that I think will improve the overall experience, for example, when I want to scroll right, I have to scroll down till the very end of list and then there is a scroll bar, which isn't comfortable. I think it will be better If there is an arrow or scroll bar at any moment when I read see the list.

What tool are you using to show live SAT prices since they are changing all the time?

I think that HW prices are also changing sometimes, so it would be cool to have someone tracking that, instead of doing everything manually.

Adding responsive design update would probably fix most of the issues with various devices, and consider adding alternative dark theme switch.

Added SeedSigner

Maybe I should avoid putting a price for DIY wallets

All are open-source

Added Specter DIY to the website. Now comparing 36 different Hardware Wallets, feature by feature.

(...)
All are open-source, 100% air-gapped and come with a battery and QR scanner, work with all major wallets, have a "brick switch", have a secure chip (with the exception of the Jade, but it's the only one with "ANTI-KLEPTO / ANTI-EXFIL PROTOCOL"), and most importantly don't come with an outside risk of getting hacked (Trezor wallets) and don't have silly privacy or security scandals surrounding their products (*cough* Ledger).

"The unit was bought from a trusted seller through a popular classifieds website, and the holographic stickers on the box and the wallet itself were all present and undamaged."
"Instead of the original STM32F427, the unit had an STM32F429 with fully deactivated microcontroller flash-memory read-out protection mechanisms (RDP 0 instead of RDP 2 in genuine Trezors).".
"The fake cryptowallet would operate as normal, but the attackers had full control over it from the very beginning. According to the transaction history, they were in no hurry, waiting a whole month after the wallet was credited for the first time before they grabbed the money. The owner had no protection whatsoever: the game was lost from the very moment the money first arrived in the Trojan wallet."

Sorry but ColdCard does NOT have open source devices anymore, but they have inflated NKV ego instead, and they use Commons Clause license   :P

Regarding the coldcard. So, you say that you can see the source code of the firmware but you can't sell it. That would be a place in the middle between closed source that you can't see and open source that you can see and sell. It should be in yellow color in my website. I am going to modify it and clarify

But I don't think it is a huge problem, right? I mean, it's not like Ledger where everything is closed-source, it's certainly better than that.

Is this “Open Source”?
- No.

I explored all the hardware wallets checkouts and added the different supported payment methods to https://wallets.thebitcoinhole.com

Added Bitkey to the website. Still lots of questions about the wallet, so the info is not complete. Waiting to get more info about the wallet to include on the site.

I see, several wallets (sledger included) don't accept Bitcoin payments and they expect people to purchase them for storing BTC  ::)

Ledger doesn't accept Bitcoin directly, but you can pay with bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies using the crypto payment processor BitPay.

I don't see any way to pay with crypto on Ledger official website. Just credit card, Paypal o Google Pay

It seems that they have actually added crypto.com pay in addition to BitPay, which was there before.

It seems Ledger is not supporting crypto payments in certain countries. That's why I wasn't seeing those options. I had to try with US.

I don't see any way to pay with crypto on Ledger official website. Just credit card, Paypal o Google Pay

Some improvements to the website

I don't like the idea of assigning a rating. All the wallets are different and there are users with different needs

Lots of new features and improvements on our website where we compare more than 30 different hardware wallets. thebitcoinhole.com (http://thebitcoinhole.com)
- New wallet details screen with detailed info, official youtube video previews, dropdown to compare the wallet against others, and much more.
- Now you can compare wallets 1 vs 1.
- Added links to Reddit and Telegram communities (when available) for each wallet.
- More helpful info about each important feature of the different hardware wallets.
- Data fixes and improvements

Added to the website new info to see which hardware wallet is integrated with BlueWallet, Blockstream Green & Bitcoin Keeper.

How about adding new Keystone3 hardware wallet?
Waitlist is currently open and they will soon announce discounted price with more information.
If you have Coldcard Q1 and Bitkey on your list that are still not officially released, than I see no reason why Keystone3 should not be there.

- Added more info for Keystone 3 wallet

- I created an official Bitcoin Talk user for The Bitcoin Hole: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=3567186

I see you added Keystone 3 and you wrote that battery for new model is not removable, so can you confirm this information?
It sucks they decided to go this route like most smartphones, since opening device will brake warranty and it could trigger their tampering detection protection and make it unusable.

What is the difference between The Bitcoin Hole and maxirosson members? Just Rebranding, or you are going to stop using this old account?

You need to make one small update on TheBitcoinHole website for Coolwallet Pro SE hardware wallet, as they now switched to Open Source license, like I explained in one of my previous posts:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5288971.msg62609304#msg62609304

Added sorting to our website. Now you can sort all the hardware wallets by Price, Year, Warranty, Weight and Screen Size.

I see in last few weeks many new similar websites starting to appear for hardware wallet comparison and I still like yours the best, but athena-alpha.com is doing a good job also. :)
One recent correction for you, Keystone 3 Pro is now open for orders and discounted price is $90 in next several days, but I don't see Keystone 3 regular version available for purchase.

Thanks for the correction.
I knew about athena-alpha.com. Which other similar website did you find?

New addition to the website: Cypherock X1: https://thebitcoinhole.com/wallets/cypherock-x1

One more suggestion, can you add information if code for Open Source hardware wallets can be verified and reproduced or not?
If this has been done by someone, for example bitcoinbinary.org or walletscrutiny.com, you can post a clickable link for that.
Another member has a good point that not everything that has Open Source label is really Open Source... we all remember ColdCard and Keystone was doing similar advertisement for their devices.  

I already have that. Under the firmware section, I have "Source-available", "Open Source" and "Reproducible Builds" rows.

I know about rows, but I was thinking about creating additional top Reproducible filter tab for fast access, like you have for Open Source, Secure Element, Air-Gapped, etc.
Ideally it would be great if I could select multiple filters at the same time, and have color changed when I click or unclick them.
I hope you understand what I wanted to say, I am a bit tired and I can't explain it better now.
https://www.talkimg.com/images/2023/08/12/GKgyZ.jpeg

Added support to filter the hardware wallets by all the features.

I just checked all hardware wallets that can be purchased with Bitcoin or LN, and I got only 15 from 40 devices, no wonder that ledger is not accepting BTC  :P
Imagine someone selling devices that should keep BTC safe in storage, but you won't accept that same BTC ... it just shows how much they support Bitcoin ::)

Added support to filter the hardware wallets by all the features.

BTW, do you have any plans to move discontinued hardware wallets to a different page ^{[there are two at the moment]}?

Are you talking about the Keystone Essential and Pro models or some of the other hardware wallets in the collection?

Great addition, but I noticed the size & materials filters didn't have the materials and dimensions options in them... I understand why you excluded the latter, but I think it'd be better if users could also tick the materials of their choice ^{[even if it means adding roughly 10 more options to that section]}.

---

Having said that, I noticed few of their "authorized resellers (https://keyst.one/resellers)" still have them in stock, so perhaps placing another button beneath the discontinued and linking it to this exact page wouldn't be a bad idea.

- People with the old models will probably like to compare their devices with other wallets, to decide if upgrade or not.

I immediately associated 'discontinued' with no longer working/able to connect to servers, can't be connected with recent software, and those sort of of things.

Under the "Privacy" category, you can add "Coinjoin" to the Trezor Model T and Trezor One: https://content.trezor.io/coinjoin

Yes, I would like to add that section. I am starting to research if there are other hardware wallets supporting coinjoin: https://twitter.com/thebitcoinhole/status/1698349710845640934

I am pretty sure Passport hardware wallet is fully supporting Coinjoin with Samourai Wallet Whirlpool implementation.
There is even blog article written last year on foundationdevices website with clear instructions how to use it, and they even mentioned Payjoin here:
https://foundationdevices.com/2022/03/passport-coinjoin/

Another article How to Interact with Bitcoin Privately:
https://foundationdevices.com/2022/05/interacting-with-bitcoin-privately/

Added new features to the software & hardware wallets comparison websites

Since you started adding DIY devices, you can consider adding Krux wallet.
This project is smaller than SeedSigner or Specter, but it's very affordable and base device M5StickV looks very similar like Jade wallet and Maix Amigo is amazing.
You can find more information about Krux in my topic:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5350905.0

I wrote my suggestion about adding Krux hardware wallet few months ago, but you probably missed it or forgot about it.
Krux is a good alternative for SeeSigner, and it can be used with QR codes as airgapped device, using M5StickV or Maix Amigo.

Added new SecuX Shield BIO hardware wallet

I added it to my backlog. I need to prioritize because there are lots of things to add to the website.

Krux wallet was released way before Secux Shield BIO, so please find some time to include it.
It's much more important to spread the word about open source DIY wallets, than about closed source products.

Two new SafePal additions to our hardware wallets comparison:
- SafePal S1 Pro
- SafePal X1

You still don't know exact dimensions and weight for new model Safepal X1?
Another thing according to their website, available connection methods are USB and Bluetooth, that means that USB can probably be used for data also.

- Added lots of new filters

Two new SafePal additions to our hardware wallets comparison:

Now anyone can collaborate by adding missing data, fixing errors, or adding new wallets.

I open-sourced the Hardware & Software Wallets databases.

You really did amazing work in last few months, website is really useful and not only for hardware wallets, but for software wallets, books, etc.
I see you have seed backup section, so are you planning to add more information, detials and prices for that category as well?
Note that there are much more seed backup products available than hardware wallets ;)

Current selection is not that great:

Added new Trezor Safe 3 models

Almost identical dimensions like Trezor One :)

Are you sure that for Trezor 3 Passphrase entry is on hardware wallet, the same way like on Trezor T?
One member speculated that it remained the same like on Trezor One, that is only via computer or mobile.
I would also want to know what is the status with PIN and seed phrase entry, they are now with question mark.

https://www.talkimg.com/images/2023/10/12/RN10G.jpeg

Added new Trezor Safe 3 models

I am trying to see if I get the missing info regarding the PIN and seedphrase entry

The screen sizes appear to be wrong ^{[it should be 0.96" (the same also applies to the Model One)]}.

They mentioned in "this blog post (https://blog.trezor.io/trezor-safe-3-makes-crypto-self-custody-easier-than-ever-heres-how-7cb97198f7e9) ^{[refer to the second paragraph in number three]}" that we can enter all of the above things directly on the device itself :)

I would also want to know what is the status with PIN and seed phrase entry, they are now with question mark.

With the Trezor Safe 3, you can enter your recovery seed, pin, or passphrase directly on the device, maintaining the offline status of sensitive data.

Perhaps you can edit the price for the Seedsigner on https://thebitcoinhole.com/.
You still have it set at $80. If assembled, the Seedsigner now costs $88 in silver and $93 in all other colors. If you ship it as a kit, it costs $93 regardless of the color. It doesn't make sense to me that the assembled silver Seedsigner model is cheaper than the one you have to assemble yourself. ??? But it is what it is. If you add all the accessories to it (USB cable, MicroSD card, and QR code pack), the price goes up to $98. 

I still see $80 price in their page

Are we using the same source/shop or perhaps talking about different ones? Is this the one you are using https://btc-hardware-solutions.square.site/product/orange_pill_kit/6?cs=true&cst=custom ?

It does say $80 to $98 but that's before you make any of the required selections. Select between the non-assembled and assembled unit in the first drop-down menu and the price goes up to $93. It's $88 if you select the grey device as I said previously. So, you have to ignore the initial price range you see once the page loads because no unit is selected at the time, which also doesn't make sense.

Yes, using the same website. If you select "Do not add QR cards",  no microsd and no usb cable, the price is 80.

Keystone 3 Pro doesn’t support BTC-Only firmware. We will develop a new BTC-Only product to provide a more dedicated BTC wallet solution

According to the list there is a Bitcoin-only firmware for the new Keystone 3 (Pro).
According to https://keyst.one/firmware (https://keyst.one/firmware) this is not true:

here are the differences with the previous gen:

Full HD IPS Display

Totally useless feature for hardware wallet.
Nobody is going to play games or watch movies on ellipal.

Added 3 new features to the Hardware Wallets comparison:

Added 3 new features to the Hardware Wallets comparison

I get a bit confused in terms of making comparisons - especially if one wallet type is not next to the one that I am trying to compare, or having to scroll across several pages horizontally to be able to see the comparisons in which I am interested.

Sure, I see the ability to filter various categories, but could there be a way to either select favorites (and then compare favorites) or maybe just a click box in the right upper corner to compare specific ones that are clicked (or the box could allow for the placement of a number value such as 1, 2, 3 and then the wallets would be sorted in accordance with the number that the user types in the box.. all the 1s would go next to each other, all the 2s next to each other, but after the 1s, and the ones without numerical assignment in their box would come last)..

Maybe being able to compare up to 10 or more at a time.. or if they are put in the order that the user-chooses, then maybe all of them can be compared and prioritized by the user.. and then that would end up allowing an ability for the user to order the wallets in a personalized way..- to customize which ones are next to each other if scrolling through the comparisons?

Hi. Thanks for the feedback. On the filters section you have the ability to filter by wallet name so that you can pick your favorites.

I think you should add Seedkeeper by Satochip as one of the Seed Backup solutions.
This is not made from metal, but it is waterproof and it's better than paper in my opinion.
https://satochip.io/product/seedkeeper/

Can I pitch you another idea?

I know you are doing a great job on your website with hardware wallets, software wallets, seed backups, btc nodes and books,
but how about adding comparison for Debit Card and Gift Cards that support Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies?
There is only one or two websites doing that, mostly with outdated data and I am not impressed with them.

Hi. Thanks for the feedback. On the filters section you have the ability to filter by wallet name so that you can pick your favorites.

Maybe you can explain a little bit better how I would achieve such a result to compare 5-10 wallets side by side and in one glance rather than typing in and presumptively looking at one named wallet at a time.

Let's say for example, I wanted to compare: 1) Jade, 2) Coldcard Mk4, 3) Bitbox02 (BTC ONLY), 4) Keystone 3 Pro, 5) Passport Batch 2, 6) Trezor Model T, 7) SafePal S1 Pro 8) SafePal S1 Pro 9) KeepKey and 10) CoolWalletPro.

Then how would I accomplish such side-by-side comparison of those specific 10 HWs?

What I am suggesting is to put some kind of a check box or even a number ranking so that I can rank them myself and be able to see the ones that I choose side by side.  Do you see what I mean?  Is such a thing already possible?  If not, can you see how it would be user-friendly to be able to achieve a customized selection of side-by-side comparisons?

You can see the step-by-step in this video I posted on Twitter
https://twitter.com/thebitcoinhole/status/1732846389367906370

Basically, you need to go to Filters -> Basic Information -> Name and then pick all the wallets you want to compare.

Thanks for the idea. Could you give me more info so I can analyze it? Those websites you mention, for example. I am trying to focus on self-custody, so I want to be sure those additions are a good idea or not.

This would be more like a way to spend Bitcoin on websites and services where Bitcoin is not accepted directly.
For example of gift cards there are websites like thebitcoincompany.com, bitrefill.com and maybe few others, that can be used to purchase this cards without kyc.
As for debit cards there are both kyc and no-kyc, virtual and physical, some of them are issues by centralized exchanges or other by companies.

Few examples I found in bitcointalk forum:

- Now you can see the latest version and release date of each hardware wallet firmware.

I found another hardware wallet Safeguard BVKey but I am not sure if they just cloned and slightly modified ledger device and made it more expensive:

Red flags all over the place - Both their privacy policy[1] and terms of use[2] are mostly copied from Coinkite own privacy policy[4] and terms of use[5].

Also, if you hover into their application links for Android and iOS (notice that the acronym is badly spelled)

Just noticed one of the hardware wallets that only supported their utility token on its launch, is now supporting Bitcoin ^{[and a few others]} as well: KleverSafe (https://kleversafe.io/)

@maxirosson what do you think about newly announced open source hardware wallet called Portal, made by TwentyTwo?
This looks like interesting new concept of device that works without cables or batteries, and it is connected with smartphone via NFC connection.
One thing I noticed on their video is small screen that probably can't show complete bitcoin address at once.
Portal is currently being offered as pre-sale for €89 and delivery should be expected in Q3 of this year, unless something unexpected happens.

Good thing about it is that everything is released as open source even hardware schematics:

I love the idea of a NFC wallet with screen without any kind of batteries.

I don't like the shape. I would prefer something more similar to a credit card shape.

I already contacted them on Twitter, so I can add their wallet ASAP.

I added Portal hardware wallet to the website.

Did you make any other changes to the tables ^{[specifically hardware and software tables]}? For some reason, it keeps lagging when I try to scroll down from the very top section in Google Chrome ^{[I couldn't replicate it in Tor, Firefox, and Microsoft Edge browsers]}.

Unfortunately, that also means it's not going to work with certain types of phone cases.

There's a 22% discount code ^{[LOSTEMPIRE (https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GHwL1nXWkAAmRKi?format=jpg&name=large)]} for those who might be interested in purchasing this product.

- OLED Screen / 0.91" / 126 x 64 px

Thanks for the feedback. I couldn't reproduce it, but probably the amount of data in the table is starting to be huge, mainly on the hardware wallets screen. I am planning to implement any kind of pagination, so the website can support more items.

That is true, but most modern smartphones have NFC this days, even cheap models.

Nice find!
I will try it later to confirm if it works,

Thank you... For some reason, I can't find a way to manually enter any discount codes ^{[quite weird]}, and despite seeing on the cart page that "discounts are calculated at checkout", the following discount link didn't have any impact on the price

Updated hardware wallets data on the website, comparing now 55 different Hardware Wallets.

Approaching the upcoming halving, Ledger is offering a purchase promo until April 15, 2024.

@maxirosson
Can you please check if some correction is needed for Safepal hardware wallet and coin control?

Added Grid+ Lattice1

I am not a fan of this Lattice1 hardware wallet and it's price, and I think it is more focused on ethereum than on bitcoin,
but since you added it already maybe you could also add their more affordable product that is used as a seed backup solution, and it's called Safepack.
Safepack is sold in pack of two cards and price is $40:

PS
I still prefer Satochip card instead for this purpose.
