This is like playing music. Every performer already has a different personality and personality background. Some people want to how to play in heart, but the actual control on hand is inconsistent.

I trusted banks before, but not again

Imitation is the most sincere form of flattery.
Bitcoin will adopt the best of the finance tech.

Alt and air coins push technology and innovation further. There are many more problems to solve than finance. Satoshi once suggested miners have a DNS service, f.x.

It's fine, except for the scams by air conns.

How's a mere difference in license going to make compiling Armory on FreeBSD harder?

AFAIK, license incompatibilities only affect operating systems' ability to distribute precompiled versions of programs (hence why no Linux OS preinstalls emacs), not your ability to compile from source yourself, especially if said source code was downloaded from a place that has nothing to do with FreeBSD.

but important thing is they have required funding of 4 million euros.

**Trezor is working on their own fully open source Secure Element chip and they started separate project for this purpose called Tropic Square.

Just keep in mind that Safepal is closed source and there are some negative sides compared with other hardware wallets:
- No signing messages
- No mulltiple accounts
- No multi-sig
- No coin control
- No desktop software

Looks like they don't accept P.O. boxes for delivery, and I would not give them my real name and address to avoid one more leak.
I would rather spend a bit more and get some Open Source Hardware Wallets like Bitbox02 for example.

2. SafePal Hardware Wallet order information is deleted on a regular basis.
Starting from this January, SafePal has launched a new mechanism to delete customers’ hardware wallet order information on a monthly basis. For all the orders that have been fulfilled and delivered according to our logistics record, the order information will be reserved for 30 days and then be destroyed from our online system. The 30-day period enables us to provide product return service and after-sale support for our customers in time.

I am sure they can apply security updates!

Yes it is plain old ESP32 board and anyone can purchase their own and load it with Jade open source code, so there is no need to buy from their official store.
I would prefer buying something like M5Stack Core2 ESP32 AWS (has secure element) but I think anything like cheap TTGO T-Display will work just fine.

You can even use cheap M5StickC ESP32 and cad STL file to 3d print your own Jade hardware wallet and then load it with Jade code.
This means that you can make your own diy wallet for $10 or $20 and not wait to pay $40 for out of stock product.

So I was interested to know how Jade hardware wallet is doing entropy and generating seed words, but I couldn't find that information anywhere on their website.
After contacting Jade wallet developers I got reply that they are working on readme file and support page with more detailed information, but for now I got this explanation:

Jade wallet comes with a hardware random number generator (from esp32 chip), and when device is started it uses accumulator similar like in bitcoin core.
This stores a 32 bytes state generated by sha512 hashing of a number of things: its previous state, 64 bytes from the hardware random generator, data from the stack, various counters (cpu ticks and global) and sensors (hall and temperature), as well as extra entropy provided by the companion app.
The result of the sha512 is split in two: half becomes the new 32 bytes state and the other half is provided as the entropy requested and fed to the standard bip39 entropy to mnemonic function.
The hashing function is called at boot and at each time entropy is requested as well as any time a button or the wheel is touched.

This looks something similar like Trezor is doing with mixing entropy of hardware random generator and computer, but it's not exactly the same.

    // Read the hardware time stamp counter when available.
    // See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_Stamp_Counter for more information.
