Seedsigner is fantastic. Best UI in the market. The thing that sets it apart is that it doesn't abstract away hard concepts. Seedsigner is a tool for DIY financial sovereignty. In order to use it effectively you need to go on an educational journey from verifying software binaries to generating your own entropy to stamping out a metal backup. No hardware device can compensate for lack of knowledge or bad security posture. Most commercial devices try to make the 'least bad' tradeoff for mass market usability. They assume the consumer is ill informed and lazy. For the most part they are right. Seedsigner is for the folks who are ready to roll up their sleeves and be in control of their own security. I don't recommend it to everyone. But the people I do recommend it to are my favorite kind of bitcoiners. They aren't just buying a hardware device, they are digital survivalists learning skills necessary to thrive in the coming economy.

Absolutely this! Read my post above. It took a few months for or a non tech older person to work it all out but I couldn't be happier. https://image.nostr.build/752090c1c69a817fabffa4c235947702ab14c2f4202d24cf6b64e5a7f1d90493.jpg

Hm, idk, you are Kind of right, but i do recommend seedsigner to everyone. As you Said there is No way around doing the Work and learning the Shit. The sooner you do it the better. Seedsigner greatly helps with the learning curve. So i think it is quite Important to recommend seedsigner as much as i can. Regular commercial Hardware Wallets do Not Help you learning stuff. And they will wreck you sooner or later, because they all have single Points of failures, speaking of their centralized Servers, which are honeypots for CIA, Lazarus and WHO Else.

I would like to think I am working on a new hardware platform. I have been scanning the landscape of microcontrollers/embedded Linux devices for a number of years before discovering this particular device: Luckfox Pico Pro Max Benefits: Runs Linux -> porting seedsigner code is significantly easier than a true microcontroller. No micropython needed. No onboard WiFi -> for whatever reason all alternative embedded Linux boards all include WiFi. This was a really difficult obstacle actually. Ample memory -> can run Pillow, etc. the code is 99.1% the same! Camera header -> similarly to the Rpi this board has a CSI camera header Not a raspberry pi -> an answer to the loudest FUD Not a microcontroller -> while I support enabling new hardware platforms, I think seedsigner is best if we coalesce around “Linux”. The effort needed to port to micropython is unnecessary. There already exists Krux. Play to our strengths.
