    How are the QR codes generated? What makes their generation process secure? How do you know that there isn't a record of that QR code somewhere else?

      You could ask that same question about any signature-passing process: QR Code, USB connection, NFC, Bluetooth, or micro sd card. The process that generates the signature to be passed to the broadcasting wallet is never going to be well understood by 99.9% of users.

      @@pithra I agree. I read a critique of QR codes by a wallet maker who uses a USB cable. It struck me that all the vulnerabilities are mostly the same. Eg if a hostile actor intercepts the device then anything can happen. But a physical transfer of a sd card or optical transfer of QR has less attack vectors than a broadcast system. That said, if it's all equal, I choose QR for self contained simplicity. No broadcast and no accessory required.

    His statement about sharing seed phrases with third-party companies undermines the core principles of being a secure, cold wallet. If the government demands access, they'll have to provide your seed phrases. Not for me.

    Self-custody is the #1 problem that needs solved for mass adoption. Grandma needs to be able to self-custody her crypto. I can do it. If your watching this, you probably can too. But the masses don't want all these steps. Whoever solves this.... Makes it as easy as if it could be a 4-digit pin for debit transactions or ATMs.... Wins. I don't know the answer but been in crypto long enough to know that simplifying with safety is the key.

    • @vandogtrailer6701
      @vandogtrailer6701 Рік тому +2

      I agree. But self custody is *always* going to be more burdensome that outsourcing custody. That's why banks were inveted. I think in practical terms, some of this will come as the generations turn over. I was surprised how quickly my 18yo daughter picked up what I was laying down despite no background or familiarity. Digital natives will get this. Grandma will be a very late adopter, if ever.

    • @gevdarg

    I have multiple copies of my phrase words, in a normal usb comprimed in a .rar with passwor, a paper in my moms house , but my phrase words are coded in my own encryptation system,so no matter what happens,if my house burns i have a copy in my mother's house,if it is stolen they dont know the .rar password,if they manage to decrypt the .rar and get the seed they need to figure it out how to decrypt the words, so have plenty of time to move all of my crypto in another wallet
    The most important i dont tell anyone i have crypto

    at the end it's all about trust. Every hardware wallet could be compromised - if not by external hackers, by internal bad update code officially provides or predefined seed generators. And everybody owning a harware wallet where the company is claiming all code is open source published on Githib? How you check that indeed the open source code is running on your device? You opne it and look inside? It's all about trust. AND most crypto so far got lost due to self custody by people who screwed up the backup or simply died.

    We have been through the storm, the bankruptcies, the frauds, the crypto winter but if now you say that cold wallets like Ledger or Trezor aren’t safe , that’s enough, I am done with crypto…
    The idea of another Xmas with family and friends blaming you for investing in crypto is bad enough but if they can’t even feel safe with a cold wallet now… that’s too much.
    I guess it is better to opt out now .

    • @NGRAVE
      @NGRAVE Рік тому

      What NGRAVE offers is a truly connectionless end to end solution and not just a cold wallet. ZERO is a connectionless hardware wallet, it is tamper proof and tamper evident. On top of that even if you break it or lose it you would be able to recover your seed or Perfect Key thanks to GRAPHENE the splittable encrypted backup.
      The advantages of QR codes is that the transparency of it offers great security since anyone with the technical knowledge can check that we do not share private information through the QR codes generated on ZERO. If we would share any private information, we would have already been called out on it ;)
