55 Hardware Wallets, compared feature by feature

[dkbit98]

@maxirosson what do you think about newly announced open source hardware wallet called Portal, made by TwentyTwo?
This looks like interesting new concept of device that works without cables or batteries, and it is connected with smartphone via NFC connection.
One thing I noticed on their video is small screen that probably can't show complete bitcoin address at once.
Portal is currently being offered as pre-sale for €89 and delivery should be expected in Q3 of this year, unless something unexpected happens.

Good thing about it is that everything is released as open source even hardware schematics:

I love the idea of a NFC wallet with screen without any kind of batteries.

I don't like the shape. I would prefer something more similar to a credit card shape.

I already contacted them on Twitter, so I can add their wallet ASAP.

I added Portal hardware wallet to the website. Still waiting for a response from the TwentyTwo team, to complete the missing data.

and it is connected with smartphone via NFC connection.

Unfortunately, that also means it's not going to work with certain types of phone cases.

There's a 22% discount code ^[LOSTEMPIRE] for those who might be interested in purchasing this product.

I added Portal hardware wallet to the website.

Did you make any other changes to the tables ^{[specifically hardware and software tables]}? For some reason, it keeps lagging when I try to scroll down from the very top section in Google Chrome ^{[I couldn't replicate it in Tor, Firefox, and Microsoft Edge browsers]}.

  While you're waiting for them to respond, you can safely change the question mark on the testnet to yes ^{["here's someone who's using it" with the Padawan wallet (a testnet-only wallet)]}.

Updated all the Portal Hardware Wallet specs on the website.

- 135 x 65 x 5 mm, 30g
- OLED Screen / 0.91" / 126 x 64 px
- Mainnet, Testnet, Signet and Regtest support
- Firmware upgraded through NFC
- Open source: https://github.com/TwentyTwoHW/portal-hardware
- Alphanumeric PIN entered via mobile app
- 12/24 words support
- Taproot addresses support
- Miniscript and mutisig support

and more.

[maxirosson]

Thanks for the feedback. I couldn't reproduce it, but probably the amount of data in the table is starting to be huge, mainly on the hardware wallets screen. I am planning to implement any kind of pagination, so the website can support more items.

Shape of this device looks like a key, and that is part of their logo also, so I understand why they choose to make it like this.
I don't fully understand how NFC device can have screen power, but I think that some smartphones usually have ring shape coils inside for charging.
So there is no secure elements in Portal?

Unfortunately, that also means it's not going to work with certain types of phone cases.

That is true, but most modern smartphones have NFC this days, even cheap models.

Nice find!
I will try it later to confirm if it works, but I am not sure if they are sending devices from Europe or United States.

- OLED Screen / 0.91" / 126 x 64 px

Very small tiny screen, like I expected  
But I think most of operations will be conducted on smartphone anyway.

You're very welcome I'm not sure what you did yesterday, but I'm no longer experiencing the issue in question ^{[the lag used to be around the header area only]}, so perhaps there's no need for the above implementation yet ^{[the current one-page design is great for using the Ctrl + F]}.

That is true, but most modern smartphones have NFC this days, even cheap models.

You're right ^{[it could be an option for a lot of users]}, but as someone who only uses extreme/tough rugged phone cases, I prefer not to remove my phone case to have a smooth experience with a hardware wallet ^{[I had a lot of bad experiences for changing such phone cases in the past (e.g. Breaking the phone case or chipping a small part of my previous phones)]}.

Nice find!
I will try it later to confirm if it works,

Thank you... For some reason, I can't find a way to manually enter any discount codes ^{[quite weird]}, and despite seeing on the cart page that "discounts are calculated at checkout", the following discount link didn't have any impact on the price:

I tried the same thing  and it didn't work so I think discount code already expired.  
Maybe maxirosson will have another discount on thebitcoinhole website.

They released a new blog article from Portal, with a strange subtitle - Why is it so BIG?

I can't keep up with all the changes in hardware wallet world, but OneKey clearly retired two of their wallets.
All their customers will probably stop receiving updates soon, as most of them probably purchased only 1 year support  
I don't see much difference with in OneKey Classic 1S wallet, except higher price, different secure element and different battery.

@maxirosson

  • 5-inch touch display
  • Offline backups with GridPlus SafeCards
  • Full control with lattice-connect (open-source)
  • Closed-source firmware

• OPOLO ^{[formerly known as OPOLO Cosmos]}
  
  • EAL6+ secure element
  • 3.2-inch touch display

Get up to $50 of BTC this Bitcoin Halving

A little tediousness.

At what rate do these ledger vouchers contain BTC? By the time of delivery, bitcoin rate will change and the fixed 20$, 30$ and 50$ will already become less or more (this moment is not so bad). Or maybe the voucher automatically adds BTC at the current rate from the moment the redemption code is entered? In any case, there is less than a day left to find out (and limited supplies).

It should be added that the promotion (Source) is valid only for specific hardware wallet models (not all body colors will be available):

Ledger Nano S Plus Matte Black  
Ledger Nano X Onyx Black  
Ledger Nano X Onyx Black + Ledger Recover    
The Ledger Nano Duo (Are there only black options here too?)

Maybe you should try not to promote stuff like this here, it is off-topic and has nothing to do with thebitcoinhole website topic.
There are plenty of other topics for ledger hardware wallet to post their crap voucher promotions.

I see new section was release for Bitcoin inheritance, so far there are five services listed:

@maxirosson
Can you please check if some correction is needed for Safepal hardware wallet and coin control?
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5490974.msg63929075#msg63929075

[maxirosson]

Yes, added the new Inheritance section. I opened a topic here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5492618

You are right, Safepal added coin control in November. Fixed. Thanks

I sure hope that when anyone is comparing hardware wallets, they consider the fact that Ledger hardware has key extraction firmware which means it's less safe than other options, not to mention how Ledger Live tracks everything they'll do.

Ledger should be avoided like the plague.  Even if they offered a 100% discount, making their hardware free, I wouldn't recommend Ledger.  Well, actually, if I really disliked somebody, I suppose I'd recommend Ledger to them.

P.S.  How's that STAX order coming?  Ledger Stax, announced in 2022.  Still hasn't shipped, and when it finally does it'll probably be more buggy than a beehive.

Added Grid+ Lattice1

I am not a fan of this Lattice1 hardware wallet and it's price, and I think it is more focused on ethereum than on bitcoin,
but since you added it already maybe you could also add their more affordable product that is used as a seed backup solution, and it's called Safepack.
Safepack is sold in pack of two cards and price is $40:

PS
I still prefer Satochip card instead for this purpose.

You are right, thanks. Added Grid+ SafeCards to the Seed Backup Solutions comparison: https://thebitcoinhole.com/seed-backup
