You're an awesome teacher. You're a guide, a tutor, a guru 😀

Wow, I really liked the flow of this tutorial - super easy to follow! I especially liked the section on UXTO's. I can see it helpful if someone is buying BTC in small amounts on a regular basis and would like to move it to a cold wallet. Next thing I'd like to learn more about is lightning/liquid and seeking out and supporting SAT markets! I also have put a start9 on my wishlist... hope to get one up and running soon!

Two years ago, everyone said Sparrow wallet passphrases only locked/unlocked the program, but I insisted it was changing my wallet fingerprint and addresses. I spoke to Ben about this Miami, and he seemed baffled. Glad to see everyone now understands what the Sparrow wallet passphrase is actually doing.

By no means am I a novice. Despite knowing many of these concepts I walked away with a deeper fundamental knowledge. I truly thank you for sharing your knowledge with the world!

Great video! Thanks! 👍
I have a question: I created a Sparrow Wallet and connected it to my Umbrel node (Electrs). If someone sends crypto to my wallet while my Umbrel node is down or offline, what will happen to the transaction? Will it be lost, or will I receive it the next time I connect my Umbrel?
Thanks!

[noanyobiseniss]

OK, So i haven't upgraded sparrow since they removed some privacy features, are they still removed?

I think you read my mind. I just picked up a coldcard q and have been planning on setting a weekend day aside to go through sparrow and coldcard setup (yes I have your coldcard q video set to rewatch). Appreciate your in depth tutorials 🙏

Ben, A big shoutout to you on this Tutorial. You obviously spent a lot of time creating this video tutorial and it shows. Many YouTubers are doing the cheap way out to producing REAL learning content. You just raised the bar back to what it once was in the earlier days of YouTube content creation. Thank you!! I have become a big fanboy of your channel now 🎉

Instructive as usual, so great for beginners to get a handle on things, thanks Ben. The next step for those that want to take it, and best practice, is to go completely trustless and generate your own seed words for each signing tool. Use those instead of trusting a device to generate them for you. Ben has already shown in a previous session how to do that with dice, so I recommend looking it up, especially if you are going to be storing significant funds. That way you can be sure that your seed phrases are truly randomly generated.

This is the best tutorial to date! Thank you so much, Ben. I've been a Sparrow user for a while, and still learned a lot.

The synergy of e-commerce and blockchain in Veronum is genius. Awaiting that Binance listing!

[CanesFan]

Holy cow....I need to set aside 2 hours to watch this!

[YusufAdil-wp]

Veronum is shaping up to be crypto’s best-kept secret, but not for long.

[Chris-PBTHOR]

Dude this was an intense video. So much awesome information. I truly thank you. I will find a way to pay you back via one of your value added solutions.

I'm having trouble connecting Bitcoin Knots to Sparrow using Windows. I believe it is the Server1 portion. Can you make a video connecting the two?
