 - Sparrow for coordinator wallet
- Personal Electrum server instance for privacy (I’ve used ElectrumX and Fulcrum, but electrs is also popular)
- Minimally 2-of-2, preferably 2-of-3 or 3-of-5.
- No vendor has quorum
- Prefer open source

My favorite vendor is Coinkite (ColdCard), but like I said, no vendor should represent a quorum of keys.

Additionally:
- consider rolling your own seeds, offline from your own entropy source
- consider using a passphrase
- consider geographic distribution of seed material

 You need to think about building from source or reproducible builds also

 Read truthcoin Paul Sztorc. It's better than all those books. Mining forget about it that's just a business. Flip burgers if it makes more sats. 

do this checklist
Multisig, at least jade diy, sparrow on permanently air gapped laptop, maybe also bluewallet on offline phone, so 3/3 then back up in different places according to your situation. 

Start to think about kyc. find someone to buy coins from non-kyc pay your buddy to take the kyc hit or buy on bisq. Keep kyc wallet or account separate from non-kyc. 

The other stuff is a distraction from proper cold storage methods.
