Mathew from Bitcoin University just did a video on Ledger hardware wallets. Not good, this is why I'm here:)

[iBuyBitcoin]

whos here after ledger fucked everything up with their new ledger recover service? lol

Thanks for this under 5 minute primer. Those 90+ minute ColdCard "tutorials" by the YouTube high priests of Bitcoin are probably doing more harm than good to your product by making the hardwallet process look much scarier and daunting than it really is.

Loving my cold card and sparrow combo!

[TOMinPDX]

Coldcard and Sparrow wallet, my fave combination. Still need to move my Ledger stash onto my Coldcard. 👍

I helped both my mom and dad set up theirs up. At 2:43, I’ve run into the same problem with both of them. Coldcard is plugged into computer and my screen looks like the video. When I click scan, it says ‘no hardware wallets found.’ If you want everyday users to adopt your product, you need to make it more user-friendly.

Ledger taught us (by accident) that all hardware wallets can easily get access to your private keys.
The only answer is multi sig to protect against single point of failure.

[mppetrov]

What if the microsd get damaged?
As well how long usually have to wait for the delivery of coldcard?

[jacksmachine]

Sparrow is far more complex then what is shown! When going to download it the website says you will need GPG and then says you need to 'sign the release' but doesn't explain any of this.. So annoying. How the hell are you guys expecting to onboard people if only ultra nerds can figure out how to use this? Or at least have complete guides on what is supposed to be done.

[specialagentsynth]

are there any size differences between mk2 vs mk4? asking because I'd like to buy the hard case available on your website but only if it fits mk2

[Jaytraveler]

Why the 9v, can I use an external battery pack ?

[krischurchill]

Can you transact without a computer? Like all the same but plugged into your cell?

[pachmann]

once you create the PIN, is that PIN forever the only way to access that coldcard? It can't be wiped to factory settings?

So in essence, the PIN is worth about $150 (the cost of the coldcard)?

[BITCOINLENNON]

mine keeps saying 'NO HARDWARE WALLET FOUND' why? please help

[arminnhammer]

I have my MK4 plugged into my computer but when I go to scan for my wallet it doesn't show up. Do I need to have a MicroSD card in or can I receive bitcoin without it?

[coltonkinder]

How secure is using the Mk4 in this way? Any real risk of compromise?

[dzink]

can you do PSBT with cc and sparrow? or does it always have to be plugged in

[wartamarhaen]

i have one, and still scared to use it, lol

[kalan]

Does wallet password (at 3:03) work like passphrase in Ledger, or hidden wallet in Trezor functionality? So that even if your seed words get compromised, you still need that extra password to recover the wallet?

[ogikilla]

I got this a year ago and tried to use it, but my brain won't let me understand this. I get you need it to send, but when receiving, its receiving via the wallet created on sparrow wallet. What role does the wallet play when receiving btc, if it only goes into the sparrow wallet? Its a total newb question, but any info would help.
