Opinion about SeedSigner

Opinion about SeedSigner (hardware)

<!--HEADER END-->

Seedsigner is one of the most famous Do It Yourself projects in the hardware wallets community. It makes very clear the difference between a signer and other hardware wallets that also store the private keys (in addition to signing transactions)

Pros:

• Increase your privacy assembling your own device, because nobody is going to know what you assembled.
• Reduce supply chain risks
• Assembling a signer is an educational experience
• A screen useful to validate the transactions
• Good user experience.
• Open source and reproducible builds
• 100% airgapped firmware upgrade and transaction signing
• Bitcoin only device
• Support lots of advanced features like testnet, user added entropy, passphrase, seedQR, taproot, fee and coin control, custom node under tor support, multisig, miniscript (soon)
• Good integration with the most important bitcoin wallets
• Cheap price

Cons:

• Missing battery
• Missing secure element
• Given that it is stateless, there is a lot of controversy about having your seedphase in a QR on your desk. So, a bad usage of Seedsigner could be very dangerous
• Use a Raspberry platform which could be potentially insecure
