    Couldn't the SD card become infected since it is connected which could then defeat the reason to air gap?
    Guessing I'm missing something.

    Thanks to both of you for putting the time into this. I think going forward this may end up being one of the most watched Bitcoin tutorials. Superb.

      Do I detect sarcasm? An SD card does not qualify for "air gapped" in my world. Example: Stuxnet.

    That is such a cool design, it’s like an old school analogue type of wallet. Love it. Probably a little overkill but I do like it.

    Please keep these tutorials coming. They are perfect because Natalie is inexperienced in the field like the rest of us and will ask the questions we would want to ask. Please include other hardware wallets like the Keystone 3 pro.

    Serious question. Why couldn’t you just plug in the cold card into the wall?

    Nice. I'll be getting my MK4 soon enough. I'll watch this one as I think it will be nice to have the back and forth and make for an easy to watch format. You both do good work.

    Question: Can the MicroSD Card be compromised? since thats the tool that´s bridging the cold card with the computer.. if so, how is this air gapped..?

      I am wondering the same thing. Seems like it’s just slightly shifting the problem from usb connection or whatever to the sd card.

    I hope you'll do a 'how to set up a node' tutorial soon - Would be very timely and valuable considering the current political shenanigans.

      i agree. i think running a node is the #1 thing we need to teach people. a node protects everyone from a blackrock hardfork

    Can you plug it into an outlet for power? Does it need to be this method or can an outlet or powerbank work?

    Thank you both for the great video. Following the instructions in this video, I set up the MK4 and Sparrow wallet. I then completed a transaction that is showing confirmed on Block cypher but the transaction is not showing up in the Sparrow wallet. Did I miss something while setting up Sparrow? appreciate the help

    Nice work! Some ideas …
    1. Paint the trap door and threshold a flat brown soil color to add water proofing and camouflage .
    2. I like that you have it where a car wouldn’t likely drive over it, but what if a horse steps on the hatch? Is a horse heavy enough to fall through?
    3. What about fresh air for extended time down there. Does it need a vent pipe? It could be camouflaged and concealed, a piece of plastic plumbing pipe with a screen so nothing slithers down it in the middle of the night.
    4. I like that you framed walls roof and floor, and water proofed it with the plastic, perhaps elevate the thresholds for the trap door up by inch so water physically can’t run down through the seam between the roof and trap doors,
    Thanks for sharing!
    Happy New Year!

    I think the most important part is how the keys are generated, and then of course the signing method is important too.

    Thanks guys appreciate your time and expertise. I have a question regarding the sparrow wallet. If I already had funds in sparrow with a different wallet name and then did the airgapped coldcard into sparrow. Does that mean my funds are on the coldcard and the funds are no longer in the existing in the sparrow wallet? Both values show up in both sparrow wallets and wondering do I delete the non coldcard wallet on sparrow? thank you.

      Agreed, which is exactly the reason I stopped taking advise from UA-camrs; in the long run, I only end up with a jumbled collection of stocks and bonds. Whereas all I needed to earn over $350k in less than three years was guidance from a true market strategist.

    It's so simple to own Bitcoin ! WTF
    Sounds like there are several layers of security systems that you must subscribe to because your Bitcoin account will be under unending threats of theft. Bitcoin sounds like it's costly just to keep it secure and to access it for use.
    One mistake and you're cleaned out.

      Are you serious with that comment?. Do you really not understand, or are you pretending to be stupid? It's okay to carry money on you, in your pocket or purse, but you would never carry a million Dollars on you, correct? This is for wealth storage.
