About cardwallet = looks like an expensive paper wallet where a third party generates the private keys for you. I don't care about the security and all that, it's still made by someone else and you'd have to trust them. Also, it looks like they are still using legacy address formats.

So far, the best compromise that does everything you need it is still Electrum. It does all address formats, has extended keys, has seeds, can import private keys, and can act as watch-only wallets to pair with cold storage offline wallet.

Those crypto steel solo and cassette things are nice, but you can do a similar level of protection if you have a fire rated safe. So, it isn't exactly the same thing, but you can plan for it.

Paper can be laminated, or even stored in a folder or envelope, then stuffed in a fireproof pouch and then you put that inside the safe.. The safe would be bolted to the floor or a wall of your house so it doesn't move.

Then you should have a back up, like buried hidden underneath your basement, or in the back yard or something.

Just in case, right?

Let’s face it: crypto adoption has been going down for quite some time. There are fewer and fewer merchants accepting Bitcoin, let alone other cryptocurrencies. This is a bit surprising, given that many issues hampering adoption in the early days have been sorted out: user interfaces got a lot safer and friendlier, major cryptocurrencies are much less volatile than they once were, the assortment of tools for merchants as well as consumers has substantially increased, layer 2 solutions addressing bottlenecks are becoming practical, and yet…

A once-popular crypto-only travel agency, BTCtrip.com has closed shop, leaving unfulfilled orders and defaults on refunds in its wake. Restaurants that once accepted crypto payments no longer do. Fewer and fewer webshops offer crypto as payment options.

In this article Daniel Nagy, a software architect and Ethereum developer, explains why this is happening and how this trend can be reversed.

I found Finney, another hardware wallet from the Sirinlabs project. Sirinlabs is one of the top altcoins that has use cases, the Sirinlabs smartphone, and this Finney is a hardware wallet which is available in the Sirin shop!

I can only recommend Ledger or Trezor.  As they have a consistent track record so far. I would never recommend something I have never used.

Exactly, if it wasn't for money, Manny had already retired at his age now, he is fighting because he know he can still make money and he is still capable, that two things should go together. The world of boxing is a a world of entertainment, we don't have to listen on what people are saying because everyone has a price.

I'm planning to purchase a Ledger to play around with. The only upgrades on the Nano X seem to be capacity (for running more altcoin apps on the same device) and Bluetooth capability. Is that correct?

$59 for the Nano S sounds more reasonable given the lack of new functionality on the Nano X. Are there any other considerations to make?

Lately, I've been gambling a bit too much again and it's impossible to add limits to most crypto gambling websites.
Heck, I've found it to be impossible to just remove your account, without contacting support.

I think it should be mandatory, or at least standard, to include easy ways to prevent members from gambling.
In my country (Belgium), legal gambling websites are required to have player-imposed limits, plus general limits on their websites.
I wish crypto-based gambling websites would do the same.

Anyway, I've just sent an e-mail to the one casino I was still playing on, to close down my account. I hope they'll do that without any issue.
But still, I wish they would just add a function to do it by yourself, or add some self-control functionality.

I.e. let people exclude themselves for X amount of time

The Card Wallet may be of interest, I am thinking of getting one.  It's made in Austria and looks secure:

Wait, what?  From Trezor's response, this has been known about since October of last year (although they apparently just responded now).

Anyway, I'm ignorant as far as technical details go but this stood out to me:

So that tells me that it isn't always possible to hack the Trezor if someone has possession of it.  Someone please correct me if I've interpreted that incorrectly.

This is still very interesting to me, as I've often wondered how easy it would be for someone to get access to a hardware device's private keys.  Till now I had no clue, and I'd assumed that it would have been impossible--oops!  I've never used a Trezor, but now I'm curious as to what it would take to hack a Ledger or any of the other hardware wallets on the market.

Lucky name is very familiar in this space as some others also had this name before. The site looks really good and the UI is attractive as well sometimes overdose of this colourfull UI becomes childish most of the times but it didn't here. This is just the first look about the site will play on it later and share my experience. And the activity table on the left occupies a lot of space so you could consider providing an option of hiding it whenever required by the user.

I've spent time looking for those hardware wallets that you have missed. And I've seen this one[1] on Hardware wallets

• [1]Hardware Wallet GK8 offering $250000 to hack it

Actually, if I'm about to buy, I'll not choose any new or another kind of wallet. I'll stay to Ledger wallet or probably Trezor with both models.
Currently, I own a Ledger Nano S.

There is a issue with keepkey, last year December there were some article on it related to a majors flaw.  I am not sure about Cool wallet S or CoolCard. I will recommend Ledger Nano and Trezor.

You have missed few. Here is a list of hardware wallet - https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Hardware_wallet

The red High Risk means are set in the mid-to-upper profit quadrants, and although the risk is implicit, the fact is that, on a case by case basis, they could easily turn out to be on the Low Profitability quadrants. I figure the chart should be interpreted as some sort of potential best case scenario, where skills and luck play their role.

Seeing HYIPs (High Yield Investment Programs) there is a bit of a shocker, as they are very often Ponzi schemes where some may profit at the loss of the majority.

Note: funny to see Mickey Mouse (top left quadrant) there as a High Profitability, Low Effort, High Risk triad of means ...
