So, I've got it basically set up, in the most ordinary way. I've got my seed words written down (obviously not the ones in the pic lol), and it says it is ready to sign transactions. But, it's not like Ledger or Trezor, in that it doesn't seem to have it's own firmware, or if it does, that's not really so clear just from the device. There is no instruction manual or anything. When I click on "Ready to Sign", it then says "Coldcard is ready to sign spending transactions! Put the proposed transactions onto MicroSD card in PSBT format (Partially Signed Bitcoin Transaction) or upload a transaction to be signed from your desktop wallet software or command line tools. " So, in other words, it's not like, obvious how to use this thing. It clearly requires some additional "nuts and bolts" kind of knowledge, which I will do, but honestly, I didn't know it would be this difficult. Also, I didn't think to get an SD card (don't think I have one, will have to buy separately) or their USB-charger device for it. So it's got some additional accessories required it seems. Also, and this is big - I do NOT LIKE the scroll keys on it, keys 5 and 8, which scroll up and down, they are PAIN TO USE!! I can already tell this feature is going to be ANNOYING AS ALL HADES. Those buttons don't work well and you have to press them like, twice just to get them to register that they've been pressed. Whereas the other keys seem more responsive. Not sure I'd recommend this wallet to someone without good knowledge and expertise! Who knows, maybe it will grow on me. : - \\
