Nevertheless, it's still a closed-source product, and it relies on you trusting them not to do anything nasty.
The QR code is only one segment. You have no idea how safe their seed-generation system is, and no one does because there is no way to check it.

Pa instaliraj Aegis i koristi ga za buduće 2FA kodove. A ove koje trenutno imaš u Google Authenticator-u ostavi gdje i jesu. Kad i ako budeš imao volje, prebacuj polako ono sto ti je bitno na Aegis a ono sto nije i ne diraj.

Isprobat cu ovaj 2FA jer uvijek je dobro imati dodatnu zaštitu ako se nudi.

There has to be something, otherwise the casino would be losing a lot of money. I have never heard of free skins without wagering requirements. There is always something in small writing in the bonus terms and conditions most players oversee.

@DaveF
If you think that Taproot and any upcoming features will be important to you, then I can only suggest that you abandon Coldcard that has already let you down several times in the past. It still remains a safe signing device for regular transactions, though.

I have yet to make and use a Taproot transaction. Have you ever used them?

Dusting Attacks are different from Address Poisoning Scams.

A dusting attack is an attempt to identify you and attack your privacy, not necessarily the value in your wallets. The senders follow the trail of your transactions, hoping you will send them somewhere associated with your real name.

Address poisoning scams are attempts to get to your money. The scammers want that you copy their address and paste it as the destination address in a new transaction. It works successfully if you don't follow the procedures of how to verify an address properly, and if you copy addresses from block explorers and your wallet's transaction history.

By doing it properly, you don't have to worry about these scam attempts.

I don't trust a single word that comes out of a casino influencer word. They are advertisers, shillers, and most probably liers, whose job is to get you to sign up via their referral links, so they can earn a commission on your deposits.

I don't trust their recorded winnings either. I knew a guy who wrote articles for crypto casinos. The sites deposited hundreds of dollars into his casino accounts that he couldn't withdraw and whose sole purpose was to be played, so he could show the audience videos and screenshots of this wins.

You probably don't want to hear this, but I don't suggest spending too much time playing around with bonuses and promotions. Most of them look good on paper, but they come with big wagering requirements of 30x or more. And even if you managed to meet that, you would then have to roll over your winnings. Unless, of course, it's a no wagering bonus, which is rare. On top of that, casinos like to limit your betting amounts and maximum cashouts.

All that make them seldom with your time.

Ledger being close-sourced means that no one has any idea about what the company can or can't do. But it's the same thing with Keystone. Their promises of doing this or that is the same as Ledger promising to make more of their software open-source without anything actually happening.

@satscraper
The separation of unsigned and signed transactions isn't an important feature. You can name the files however you want. Just name then accordingly if you have problems differentiating one type from the other.

@DaveF
I wouldn't worry too much about missing support. Don't forget, it's an airgapped wallet. All you need is for it to sign your transactions properly so you can export the files to your online device for broadcasting. Unless there is a vulnerability found in the older models and versions, everything is ok.

Many old smartphones do become useless to the point you can't even turn them on. They break much easier and malfunction. One of my older phones that I used in the past, now doesn't turn on any more. I wanted to give it to my parents who don't need anything state of the art. The phone was ok last time I used it. Now, there is only a white screen after which the device turns off.

@safar1980
Yeah, not having Tron is a big drawback, especially for those who are dealing with stablecoins like tether, which is very popular on the Tron network.

The Trezor T has always been too expensive, even now on a discount. But Keystone isn't open-source and they couldn't prove that they are. To many, that's a deal breaker. The Keystone, though, has a much better display.

I agree with you regarding the airgapped computers for optimal security. However, I don't have much faith in mobile phones as long term storage for Bitcoin. There is no way to remove all antennas and connectivity chips and sensors like you can on a desktop system.

I think it supports plenty of what deserves to be supported. There is a lot of garbage that lacks support. It's too bad that you can't use Monero on the Trezor One model. If it wasn't for the hardware limitations, the team would have added it. I think it's a problem of too little RAM.

@DaveF
The Mk3 and Mk4 already have plenty of qualities if you are looking for an airgapped signing device. If open-source isn't a priority for you, of course.
The Q model introduces a better keyboard and QR code scanning. Those are useful features to have, but not essential.

@new19980
Ledger is a rare example of popular closed-source hardware wallets that shot itself in the foot multiple times with their dumb and counter productive business decisions.

An open-source device would have more difficulties doing something like that because its code is public and available for scrutiny. If it's a popular product, a recover feature like Ledger introduced would quickly be discovered if they attempted to introduce it in silence.

So, even though you are right that other manufacturers could do the same like Ledger, it doesn't mean they will.

Most of the chips and electronic components come out of China nowadays. Some hardware wallets are completely produced and assembled in China, others are shipped out in parts and then assembled in the respective countries.

Passport Foundation is a company that assembles its devices in the US. I don't know about the chip production, but I am guessing it is either China or Taiwan.

Coldcard gets assembled but not produced in Canada.

Complaining about Chinese products nowadays is futile. Not wanting a product out of China, but using 90% of chips and other components out of China in other devices is pretty much the same.

There doesn't need to be a paper or digital trail of a P2P transaction. You met someone. The topic of Bitcoin came up. You wanted to buy some, the person agreed to sell it to you. That's where everything begins and ends. It's not illegal and and you haven't done anything wrong buying that way.

@Mahdirakib
I will check it out when I return home from my trip. I am currently writing from my phone, which makes it pretty difficult to do any checking now. I am starting to understand those who keep asking about a Bitcointalk mobile app more and more.

It's also possible to purchase a fully assembled Seedsigner for $80, unless the price changed recently. It's a great price for a Bitcoin signing device. The only issue for those who want an assembled unit is that they are shipped from the US. That would add quite a lot on the final price.

Not sure what to think of the Seedsigner to be honest. Its creator is an ex-US government employee. He worked in the computer forensics department.

I think the Seedsigner should still be considered as experimental software and hardware. It's created by a small team of enthusiasts.

@Wind_FURY
Exploits as in the hacked money the authorities claim went through the mixer. Have they sanctioned and traced where those funds went? It doesn't seem like it. It looks like sloppy work putting an escrow address of a signature campaign on a sanctions list and patting yourself on the shoulders, saying that you made a difference somehow.
