 What's more likely to be a target of stealing Bitcoins:

A: your stateheld device that you bought for one specific use that is only designed to be used with Bitcoin. 

B: your stateless device which wipes itself after every use that uses generic parts of which has a million use cases.

Note: neither device has WiFi, Bluetooth capability. 
 C: my Nintendo 64 (it has mainline Linux support) 
 Wait I meant less likely not more likely

Fuck

Don't steal my Nintendo 64 wallet please 
 It doesn’t need an hdmi cord because it has a camera and screen. Not sure if that’s what you meant but I’ve never used it any other way. The statelessness of the SeedSigner is really good feature because it doesn’t matter if the device is lost/ stolen / confiscated. I’m sure the other option is fine…, till it is not. SeedSigners I’m confident is bulletproof. The accountability is in the code not the company 😞 
 I mean since it supports HDMI it's got unnecessary taxes baked into its very design specs. And the code can't be accountable for the actions of the people that manufacture the devices. Companies are people, code isn't people  
 Don't use the SeedSigner if you don't want to, but stop pretending to be conscious of the tradeoffs when you're just parroting an executive at a corporation.  
 Where the fuck did your train of thought come from here? I have definitely never heard an executive at a corporation say what I'm saying, and I guarantee you haven't either, and neither has any audio recording on the internet because it's not the type of shit corporate executives say. 
 It will be the type of shit they say when they start parroting me - fuck you for putting it the other way around based on NOTHING, asshole
