Purchase two hardware wallets and move a low-cost coin to one of them (for testing). Use the seed to restore the second wallet to ensure it is correct, creating a backup in the process.

Smart contract wallets are an alternative. No seed phrase. Email and password required to access on a device. Ambire wallet goes a step further, you can add multiple signers, like 2FA. Any transaction requires 2FA code. To disable 2FA need the 2FA code. A second signer can be a hardware wallet like a Ledge. Any transaction then requires the 2FA code and interaction with the Ledger. Email authorisation required when logging in on a new device. It’s tough to hack.

@cyberscrilla 2 ай бұрын

For the average crypto enthusiast I don’t believe a smart contract wallet is a good solution. At least, not right now. Simplicity is key. Smart contract wallets also have their own vulnerabilities. Overall, I’d say cold wallets are still more secure and easier to use.

since these cold wallets are electronics that get obsolete after some time, do you have a time frame on how long you are going to use your hardware wallet?

@cyberscrilla 2 ай бұрын

By obsolete do you mean the tech changes or device failure? I’m not worried about the actual technology changing. And if it does, it will be an adapt or die scenario with these companies. As for longevity, I expect many of my wallets to last 10-20 years. The battery has been the first to go in my experience. Then I just use it plugged in and it still works (this is what I did with my Ledger Nano X). All my other wallets are still good.

@loong111 2 ай бұрын

@3:24 wait ... what!? How can signing a txn lose your entire wallet? When you sign with the cold wallet, can't you verify the address and amount? The private key is not actually embedded in the txn, but encrypted in the digital signature.

You’re signing an approval tx that would allow the scammer to move your funds.

do you have any recommendations for wallets that store coins on the base ecosystem? currently using tangem but they dont offer that (yet..)

@dhalps23 2 ай бұрын

Ledger has Base and also integrates w MetaMask and w Phantom wallets. I’m sure other hardware wallets support and/or work w Base too… Can look into hardware wallets that integrate w MetaMask bc there’s Base network on MetaMask. if there’s another wallet you use check that out… To check a wallet that uses base just go to ADD ACCOUNT > HARDWARE WALLET, and then see what comes up. P.S. Base is not even that great. It is owned by Coinbase too (doesn’t do much for decentralization, lol)… I’m not the biggest ETH fan either. BTC and SOL all day for me.

Base is coming to Tangem very soon. They’re actively working to add it

Must you accept a randomly generated seed phrase or can you create your own ???

@cyberscrilla 2 ай бұрын

You can use a tool to generate one, but I would never choose the words myself because seed phrases are derived from a pre-determined list of 2048 words. Humans tend to follow patterns or use familiar words that make them susceptible to being guessed. That's why using a random number generator or specialized tools for generating seed phrases is recommended.

Thank U Alex, question ...if BTC is on Blockchain .. wouldn't that be the safest place for it to sit and use it directly from there? In 2013, we didn't have any options, so the only option that was available at that time was a Bitcoin wallet connected to the Blockchain. So question : with Bitcoin address and Blockchain address...is Bitcoin on the Blockchain?

@cyberscrilla 2 ай бұрын

All cryptocurrencies are on the blockchain. A wallet is just used to access crypto and store your private key. Best to use a cold wallet to access it. If you use a hot wallet, you expose your private key to the internet and potential malware.

It’s fine. Even if your computer got malware, your Ledger wallet would not be directly affected. Just don’t enter/store your seed phrase anywhere online and you should be good.

What is the difference between a cold wallet and an encrypted USB stick?

@cyberscrilla 2 ай бұрын

Many differences. But in general an encrypted usb stick doesn’t provide the same level of security as a a cold wallet. Also, cold wallets are used to manage crypto to do things like send, trade, and approve transactions. A usb stick doesn’t do that.
