i want to put an end to my ledger nanos, but deciding on a follow up hw wallet overwhelms me, honestly.
Vibe code a wallet to work on a microcontroller with display.
Given this issue with the Ledger appears to be reseller shenanigans. Do you have a plan to avoid similar in your potential alternative wallet?
Good question.
But before i answer it, i was trying to get away from Ledger since the recovery "feature". I don't use it, of course, and i never would.
The thing is, Ledger's idea was a No-Go. They simply lost my trust, which was reduced after i found my E-mail address in one of their customer-database leaks. I was lucky, because no other of my data was stolen, but i never complied to the fact that they keep customer data on their e-commerce servers for a whole year. They don't have to, legally nor technically. The latter was basically their excuse - where they delusional or just lying?
I knew i had to keep my eyes open for an exit strategy, so i looked for alternatives, i also asked WO about, between one and three years ago.
But the many choices and weighing their differences became too complex and this overwhelms me sometimes. My "system" didn't offer a solution, but just crashed and had to be restarted. It's hard to explain and understand, also because it doesn't happen with every decision/challenge. For example, my top choice of a "Plan-B destination", a country to move to if i would be forced to leave mine ...or if things start to get really frightening in my home country. This goes on for more than 15 years now. Whenever i think about it, the moment it gets overwhemling, the "mental construct", the intermediate result, just gets shut off, somehow. I could roll it up from the start again, but i already invested a lot of energy, and i'm convinced that i am not able to start from scratch - until later times.
And those situations, when i can't prioritize or end up with more than one possible decision to make, it becomes clear to me that i don't know the best option, so i can't take neither of them.
To sum it up, this is the case here, and my internal struggles are getting on for a longer time now, but i really feel the urge to solve this. Even if i forget about it, which happens out of nowhere, and it did happen a few times, but every Ledger headline or commercial reminds me about it again. Like recently.
I want to get things forward and i had the impulsive idea to ask for WO preferences (for reasons).
To answer your initial question, though indirectly: I would never, ever buy at a reseller or through 2nd hand. Clearly, i have no plan to avoid similar issues in alternative wallets, because i can't know. The only exception would be if only one of the two wallets is technically impossible to be tampered with, because it's the one i would instantly favor or even buy, straightforward.
EDIT: The funny thing is, in any situation or challenge, if there is an optimal solution or choice, i often just see it instantly or after a few moments. ASD mixed with ADHD is quite weird, and it's not something you control, but it's something you can use.
