Hardware wallets(Ledger Nano S) need connecting to PC, the PC is online.
The private keys still doesn't leave the Ledger device; regardless if it's online or not. My point still stands.

"Your private keys are held in a Secure chip, and they never leave it. Whenever a transaction is signed within the Secure chip, the private keys never become visible to the computer the Ledger device is connected to. A compromised computer will never be able to access the contents of the Secure chip."

Read: https://support.ledgerwallet.com/hc/en-us/articles/360000380313-Discover-our-security-layers

While, I think the bigest problom of hardware wallets is seed-words backup issue. Keys loss is big threat than theft for most of users
This "issue" you're referring to is an "issue" of all wallets that's using 12-24 word seed backups, not just hardware wallets.

If you create your private key yourself, using my method of pressing the keyboard many times, typing absolutely random letters and numbers, and then encrypting your randomly typed phrase into the private key SHA-256, you will be sure that the private key The key is created from a strong phrase that can not be cracked. If I'm wrong, correct me.
Your randomly typed phrase does not look very random. You have only letters in it. Where are all the /&%")?#@*^Ä- characters? A good random string is a string that cannot be compressed. Your string can be compressed, because it uses only a part of all characters.

However. Even if that is not truly random, I believe no-one could crack your key currently. Just make your "random" string longer. You can give SHA256 algorithm much longer strings.

You can change one or two characters in your private key, put a small amount of bitcoins on the changed private key, and keep all your balance in a private key about when you only know one or two characters that you need to change in your private key in order to access your main Bitcoins. In the event that your private key is stolen, the attacker will receive a small part of bitcoins,


That is a brilliant idea, I have never heard before  Grin nice layer of extra security.

People can crest their own bitcoin wallet by using the Android app in their smartphone but this is not my choice I would like to buy hardware wallet which is the best wallet ever in the crypto world so far I know and it provides the best performance.

There are lot of ways to create bitcoin and how you will protect it. All we want is to secure our wallet because we do not want to lose our cryptocurrency. I am afraid on losing my cryptocurrency so I always my best to protect my wallet. I use hardware wallet which is more secure.

Will it be safe to create a private key by encrypting absolutely random letters in SHA256, for example 'sdfguhiuwrUISDHGNIUXHIUCV238778dfvhgjhuidsahgfiu', encrypt these random letters and numbers in SHA-256 and use the resulting private-key for bitcoin? I can do this with the Internet turned off, I can encrypt the absolutely randomly typed phrase 'sdfgdhfsuyghuHUDUIHGHIUG878yet7y8bchxujxcbvhidsafhguihuq' in SHA-256, write the received private key and use it to use Bitcoin? Why use some kind of generators, when you can encrypt any randomized characters typed on the keyboard, and use the resulting private-key for bitcoin? After all, in fact, no one will know the phrases with the help of which the private-key was created, and the only way to lose it is if someone other than me gets access to the private key.

Your method is good. I believe there should be 2 ways to generate keys and passwords. We are all different and someone does not want to trust the program to create keys and passwords, and someone too lazy to create their own. To simplify their creation and reduce the risk of repeated characters, there are phrase and password generators. I think it's very useful.

     The safest method for your investment is to create a BTC wallet. The wallet is safer and you have the guarantee that no one can break your wallet. Using Google Authenticator is not safe.

I say yes about it. Bitcoin wallet is the safest wallet because you can monitor it by your own, it can be use easily in sending money or paying. It is safe as long you keep your pasword by your own and have internet connection for the monitoring process.

This is understandable, but there is always the possibility that the private key may be lost and then you will lose access to all your money. For example, in a Fiat currency, you have the opportunity to go to the Bank and declare the loss of the card or loss of access to it. In the case of a bitcoin wallet, your funds will be lost forever and irrevocably for all owners of the bitcoin network.

So that is why I must prefer the offline wallet or the hardware wallet that can never encrypt the private key nor hack it so try to use it and for sure your bitcoin was in the safest and secure. Many of investor was using the hardware wallet just look a like flash drive that to secure your bitcoin.

Google Authenticator is really good and provides decent service but if you want more and trustworthy services then you can buy hardware wallets which are really great to secure your private keys as well as your assets.

My advice is to use wallet hardware like Trezor or Ledger Wallet, it's very useful and practical. But the price is a little expensive.
