COLDCARD™ Mk4 for $157.94. Yes/No? is it expensive?
I think their products are pricey, but I really enjoy them. The Q is a lot of fun if you're going to spend that much anyway, pay a little more and enjoy the big qwerty keyboard and other functions. I could see using the Q as a lot more than a bitcoin signing device (assuming its not for your main stack) since it has lots of extra functionality like keyboard simulation, passcode storage, password generation, etc. A really fun thing.
Blockstream jade Its easy on the pocket
I have 3 of them, lol. There are discount codes so never forget to use one. There might be a 10% code floating around somewhere but BITCOINAUDIBLE gets you 5% off Love my Coldcards. Some of the best hardware wallets out there imo. $157 is as expensive as you think it is, if you aren’t saving a meaningful amount then probably not worth it, but if this is life savings and you want it secure, that’s a small price, imo. (Sidenote: my favorite setup is multisig with Nunchuk wallet. Should def try it if you haven’t)
Thoughts on the q? Im Like you, I have a couple of cold cards and a bunch of the cheap jades that I give away bitcoin on but I was thinking Id grab a Q to mess around with.
The Q is a blast to play around with. Lots of the functionality imo isn't suitable for long term cold storage of a full stack because you wouldnt want to lose the airgap but so much fun to be had with the device.
i have a tapsigner floating around in my stuff somewhere, completely useless to me since it only works with my mobile device and i don't like my frickin mobile device and keep it wireless off GSM voice only and plugged into a usb ethernet adapter, plus it only works with nunchuk wallet anyway i got some free coincorner rfid card at the bitcoin atlantis and it wanted me to KYC and i'm like no
Dude I love my tapsigner and Nunchuk. You should give it a try if you’ve stayed away from it. My favorite setup is a 2/3 with tapsigner, mobile key, and CC. It’s the business account for my production company and it’s so easy to use. It’s basically a PIN and tap with my card whenever I want to use it, and then the CC is my “stored away backup” in case of disaster. Super slick way to use bitcoin daily with a really good security profile too.
I bought 2 from @BitcoinPark back in June last year for 625,000 sats….each 😂 I think $157 is very cheap!

Great products 🤷♂️
Worth it
All depends on your own situation. If you want very high security for a decent sized stack then it’s awesome. If you have a small stack something like Jade is perhaps a better place to start. No one size fits all.
