What is the best hardware wallet? What about the Trezor or Ledger Nano? Are they worth it? Feeling paranoid lately

I've started like 4 threads about this. No one wants to chime in.

Guess no one cares yet.

Hardware wallets are shit.

Just make an offline isolated wallet, make the transaction online computer, and sign the transactions offline computer.

Just another note.

I fell for the SALT ledger meme. Seems like a deal at ≈$35 but i bet SALT is going to go to over $30 in the next month. Meaning i spent a lot more.

Trying to keep this alive for opinions from people who actually have physical wallets.

>> No.4960300

Depends entirely on what coins you are invested in. Nano supports a lot more but trezor has some that nano doesn't.

Ledger is awesome. Also google for opendime, they are currently preparing production of a hardware wallet that arguably beats both the ledger and the trezor.

i'm going to get my ledger today, only thing that bugs me is that i have to install chrome to use it.

I use Trezor. Works fine, has recovery and you can protect it even more by setting up passphrases.
Funny thing with passphrases: all of them will drop you in a different wallet. You can setup decoys if you worry someone is going to ask you for your password at gunpoint.

>> No.4960499

Bought a Trezor two weeks ago ... didnt set it up jet. I am scared to fuck something up.

>> No.4960532

Well and if someone ask you at gunpoint for the other password after he found out it was a decoy???

I own the Keepkey, Ledger Nano S and Trezor. Development on Keepkey has ground to a fucking halt and I regret buying it. The other two have active staff though and pay attention to recent forks.

I got a ledger nano s and it's real neat. Easy to use and no bigger than a usb stick.

That being said, it's empty right now cause I'm going all in.

yes but then you also need an airgapped computer to sign transactions if you want it to be equally secure. Might as well buy a trezor then if you don't have a spare laptop lying around.

Either way is good. Trezor is open source though so I prefer it.

I have a Trevor and a Ledger Nano S. Both are pretty painless to use. I like Trevor's interface better.

I have five figures in crypto and spending a few hundred to sleep better had been worth it. Also, storing my crypto in a hardware wallet has stopped me from making emotional trades due to the hassle of transferring the crypto to an exchange.

Exactly! When I secured and encrypted my various crypto notes files bought a trezor and locked down my private keys... stored the recovery seeds in safe deposit box - lied to wife about passphras. I sleep like a baby now.

For fucks sake.

I respond to every single one of these threads.

I own both.

Ledger supports more shitcoins
Trezor is easier to use

With the run up in crypto - so many NEETS have thousands on the same computer they check their porn tubes and gamble. So much cheese available to very sophisticated rats...

if you're that paranoid just make a paper wallet.
