Will this be safer than MetaMask?

>> No.9702086

Of course it's safer. Not sure if it's really worth it, but if it helps you sleep better at night, go for it man.

>> No.9702104

No you are ducked

>> No.9702113

hardware wallets are seriously a massive meme. The whole system was designed around being safe just because only you know your private keys.

You don't need a special usb stick to store that data on, and even if you do there is no tangible benefit as the hardware security of those things is non-existant (like literally unsolder the internal flash chip and solder it to a debug board and you're in)

you are retarded
you can't unsolder the "flash chip"(LOL),stick it on a debug board or use jtag headers or other fancy shit.

also you do realize there is a massive difference to needing physical access to a device to compromise it vs a remote attack r-right?

Sorry to hear that. I plugged mine in for the first time in like 3 months yesterday as well, luckily it worked but for a second I did think "what if it doesnt?" Shouldnt there be warranty on it? see if you can get a new one for free.
