most important is to pair with your own node so that you don't leak your addresses to electrum servers

you can either run your own electrum personal server to link to your node, but it's even easier to just use specter wallet which automatically pairs

if you are interested in more privacy, consider coinjoin on your android phone with samurai wallet before sending to cold storage

I don't own enough BTC to justify a node - I have like a bit more than a $1000 in BTC which I bought in 2017. Wasn't worth much until now, so I didn't think about it too much, but now that it's worth something, I'm thinking - I wouldn't keep a $1000 on some random website that offers stupidly large interest rates. So I'm just looking for a bit safer solution than keeping it on blockchain.com, but it isn't something that's worth investing in too much (like owning a Trezor/Ledger or like owning hardware specifically for a node).

>> No.25685810

>>25685691
yeah Roger deliberately pushes up the fees on his wallet just to push bitcoin cash on people

import your paper wallet into electrum and sweep the entire balance to your new hardware wallet.

the reason paper sucks is because a lot of times it will fuck up and not generate your change addresses at all, or you might end up swapping the payment and fee by accident, etc. you want to do it properly on a hardware device

stay away from shitcoins and go bitcoin only with a cold card. they are the absolute best hardware wallet you can buy period but they are bitcoin only

any amount of bitcoin justifies a node, it's just software you download and run on your computer for free, you can prune it down too.

using a node is the entire point of a blockchain. the purpose is to use bitcoin without trusting any third parties at all. this is what is unique about this asset.

if you aren't using your own node, your are still using a node. your are just using someone else's and leaking privacy information

exactly, a lot of them are just a single address. so let's say you spend half of it... well where does the other half go? do you know enough to make the change go back to the original address? what if your wallet generates a change address for you and send it somewhere else? do you know how to recover that change later?

a hardware wallet will give you a mnemonic seed instead which handles all the change addresses and keeps your shit organized. you have no risk of accidently losing money

if you have a paper wallet your should sweep the ENTIRE balance into a wallet with a mnemonic seed

Yeah, I know, but 350GB man... I work only on a laptop that doesn't have that much free space, so I would need to buy additional stuff just to store a node.

All of these interest thingies seem to me like they could be a scam. For example, celsius has >10% interest rate for people who loan the money, and 1% interest rate for people who borrow it.

a non custodial hot wallet on mobile is actually pretty secure and good for small amounts. I use BRD and like it. if you have big $$ you should always go cold. as soon as you buy, if you plan to hodl, transfer off the exchange. don't do blockfi, not your keys, not your coins.

you will have 1 single utxo on your paper wallet. when you spend half the amount, the way bitcoin works is it has to spend the whole thing and then send the change somewhere. you can't just spend only half

so whatever software you manually import this paper wallet into, you would need to make sure you are sending the change back to the original address. tricky. some software will just make a new address for you because it's bad practice to reuse addresses. but now your other half is not stored on the paper wallet address anymore

paper wallets with a single private key are an ancient idea from like 2011. we have moved way way past this. you need a mnemonic seed with 24 words. you can store that wherever you want and use a hardware wallet for sending transactions

You can literally create keys from the seed phrase by hand. It might take an hour or two but it's no rocket surgery, just a bit of math.
