Disclaimer - I have personally owned and tested over the years 3 ledger hardware wallets and helped many people with their ledger wallets Ledger products should be avoided for these reasons : 1) They have been caught lying multiple times and abused the trust of their clients . Look into the ledger recovery scandal 2) Their marketing database was hacked and they did not immediately responsibly disclose this to their clients leading to many instances of users losing money due to phishing attacks or ransom 3) Compared to some other companies they are more likely to stop supporting older hardware forcing you to buy newer hardware . This occurred with the ledger nano and we are already seeing this with the nano s too 4) They used very cheap LCD that died after very little usage I noticed in my ledgers and my friends ledgers . The nano x had huge battery problems that led to it not being usable even if plugged in which is absurd 5) They have been exploited multiple times and this last time due to their specific incompetence https://www.coindesk.com/consensus-magazine/2023/12/14/what-we-know-about-the-massive-ledger-hack/ https://www.coindesk.com/business/2023/12/14/ledger-exploit-drained-484k-upended-defi-former-staffer-linked-to-malicious-code/ https://www.ledger.com/blog/security-incident-report https://monokh.com/posts/ledger-app-isolation-bypass 6) They don't have BTC only firmware so users are exposed to much larger attack surfaces and annoying updates that don't relate to you 7) Their hardware is not 100% open source so we can't peer review it and need to have faith in a company that lies repeatedly ---------------------------------- If you already own a ledger you can keep it but the absolute minimum you should do is pair it with another wallet instead of ledger live . Do not use ledger live! Pair it with a wallet like green or sparrow

"Self custodial bitcoin? Sorry officer, I lost everything in a tragic boating accident" "Hardware wallet? No officer, this is clearly a thumb drive/calculator with an LCD/screen"
Coldcard comes in a tamper proof bag. This will allow you to see if the bag has been opened during shipping. See this link for details: [https://coldcard.com/docs/ultra-quick/#checking-the-tamper-evident-bag](https://coldcard.com/docs/ultra-quick/#checking-the-tamper-evident-bag) If you're still not quite comfortable with that, consider building a hardware device with Seedsigner. You need an LCD screen, raspberry pi, a small camera module, and a microSD card. I'm not sure if these parts are available in HK, but since they're ordered separately, there's low chance your device could be compromised, especially since you're assembling it. Final option would be using tails OS on a usb drive paired with electrum wallet. You can plug in the usb into any computer and access a completely isolated environment to interact with your wallet.
Then I'm sure you memba' how good mama milk was, cause I sure do! And now that I'm semi-rich again, I'm gonna use my btc to buy only the finest free range mama milk money can buy, lace it with LCD and commune with sasquatch on tittie mountain!
Nope. The one on Amazon is the v3 that is battery powered and has e-ink display. This one here is the v2. It has LCD display and needs to be powered through usb-c. You can see all the versions [here](https://www.cryptogadgets.net/)
Ha! I did this too. 1 btc for 2 couches. Also 1 btc for 2 42" LCD TV's wayyyy back in 2014
This reminds me of when Xerox incubated LCD technology and DOS language, then squandered the opportunity to develop them, then watched as Texas Instruments and Microsoft made billions off of their inventions. Who knows which communities will evolve into vast empires and change the world? Bad executives. Bad
Yes there's a little LCD display. I don't know much about other hardware wallets but Ledgers have an app that lets you interact with the Blockchain. When you connect the ledger, you have to approve the connection first by logging in on the ledger and then using a combination of hardware buttons to pick a chain and approve the connection. Once the connection is established you can use the app to send crypto. You definitely need to be connected to the internet one way or the other for all things crypto.
As I used to think of it all as an experiment… I bought two high grade LCD monitors in 2014… for 4.x BTC… also remember cashing out 2 in 2013 for $75, thinking it was interesting that I could make a few extra bucks a month just letting my gpu crunch on the side. Of course, I MUST laugh off the decisions and lost opportunity of it, but it also made me a believer in the potential.
I see ETH as easier form of "digital gas". You would have piece of "paper/LCD paper" with antena, which wouldnt drain so much battery, but you would be able to play any game at ultra settings, if you pay your "digital gas", similar, as you pump gas into your car. More demanding machines would be able to perform task for electricity, or deliver server results. Still I am more for BTC, because I would be probably able to buy ETH with my BTC/satoshies.

Yea but those didn't have a sweet LCD display
If you want to make your own cold wallet but use a open source project I would recommend seedsigner. Fully open source, airgapped(never connected to the internet) made with components that you can get on your own from multiple sources. Main components are Raspberry pi, camera and a LCD screen and a 3d printed enclosure. Seedsigner is awesome and I use it myself as a part of Multisig with Nunchuk. You can create your own seed using dice roll, camera etc. Export your private key as a QR code. When you turn off the seedsigner it is wiped clean, so even if someone get’s hold of it’s blank unless having your private key/QR code. https://seedsigner.com/hardware/ https://github.com/SeedSigner/seedsigner
I throw a dart on my computer screen. It damaged the LCD everytime so thats how i lose money cause i gotta keep buying monitors
I remember buying a refurbished 2001fp for like $800 back around then, maybe 2004. It was the first LCD that I remember having a decent refresh rate for games.
Wow, I'm getting flash backs to 1990 and all the failed attempts to re-popularize VR every 10 years and re-invent exactly that same VR/AR thinking over-&-over-&-over with more modern hip marketing language and higher rez LCD screens. I'm a little disappointed that the OP doesn't do justice to the hard work of Jaron Lanier, the real true pioneering inventor of VR & its Metaverse concept... who gave his soul and his company (VPL Research, Inc ) to birth VR, VR Gogles and VR Gloves and a tone of innovative VR code & VR tech that he conceived & created from nothing in 1985... yes that 7 years before Neal Stephenson penned Snow Crash in 1992. I don't know what's wrong with the VR /AR experience and every attempted incarnation of the Metaverse since 1990, but its going to be a long time before the OASIS is anywhere near real\*. IMO
Yes, Cardano is ocean- all other crypto’s are ponds. Charles is full of that unbiased wisdom, and the goons in his chat feed actually understand crypto, and aren’t just the LCD of intelligence. /s
They threw a multi-day festival in NYC last summer. LCD Soundsystem, Questlove, Snoop Dogg, Eminem and Haim all played. Personally you couldn't pay me to hang at a festival (or anywhere else) with a bunch of crypto bros, but it did happen, I seen it. https://apefest.com
I prefer e-readers now since you can adjust font size. Preferable experience is an e-ink display but I can do with an LCD or OLED panel. Adjusting font size is number 1 reason with age but #2 would be being able to search text I have dozens of physical books but at this point, they're heavy in total and take up space. Physical feels good to have and just see your collection but I don't care anymore. Even when I liked the physical book itself more, for comics/manga I've always preferred digital. Textbooks are the last thing that I prefer physical since so I can flip pages around to compare pages fast
His last day was announced...and i told him technically mine should be day before.. Seen the engineer next to me with BTC chart up at least 4 times (and he has a large LCD so it saves me from looking.
[Seedsigner ](https://seedsigner.com/) Seedsigner is a stateless air-gapped Bitcoin computer that communicates and signs transactions using QR Codes. It's stateless nature turns protecting your seedphrase into a game of hide n go seek. It's built using a raspberry pi zero with a camera and LCD screen put into a 3d printed case. Bc it is built with off the shelf parts nobody will know you have one. It can sign be a signer for ∞ wallets bc it's stateless (doesn't store seeds) One can create new seeds on the device and derive the pubkeys ensuring your seeds never touch a computer or online. Seedsigner aligns with Bitcoin ethos bc it is open source and anyone can build a signer for less than $50 lowering the barrier of entry for security.
I know someone who set an LCD screen inside of his PC case that displayed the current price of Bitcoin
tldr; Coinkite has designed a bitcoin hardware wallet reminiscent of an old-school BlackBerry phone. The soon-to-be-released device, dubbed Coldcard Q1, has a full keyboard, an LCD screen and an LED-illuminated QR code scanner. Coinkite aims to crack into the market-leadership ranks of hardware wallets. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article. As always, DYOR.

I would love a Killswitch case but this is a Stream Deck (not Steam Deck), just a small LCD screen with buttons that sits on your desk and is used for quick keys or as the name suggests streaming (not me, I have it as macro and software load-up), but DS 2 would be so much fun to play on the go! One day!
You don't need to buy a node from somebody, you can just buy the parts yourself (Pi4b with 4-8GB RAM, Pi enclosure, Pi power supply, 1TB SSD/NVME, USB3.1 enclosure for SSD/NVME). There are some fancier enclosures with a fan, LCD and SSD mount, like "The Bitcoin Machines" but these just take up more space.
I'm worrying about the E-ink screen in particular. I wonder how reliable it'll be in the longer run. Also wondering about Ledger's policy regarding potentially dead pixels (a long time ago and for LCD manufacturers, if my memory serves, the standard was to accept a replacement for screens which had three dead pixels or more).
The LCD in mine completely died after 2 years. They should definitely last longer, at least a full four year cycle.
With such a curved LCD screen, I wonder Is it still made in France or made in China?
My first Ledger Nano S was bad (hard crashed during setup every time), it took a while to arrange a replacement, but no quibbles from them about it. Seems they have some QC issues: have heard of many DOA, or screens dying in normal use, but also the fact that it has a battery put me off of the Nano X: it even says on their site that the batteries don’t last long, and since they are not replaceable, this seems like a stupid design for something that’s supposed to last for years. Would be better with a low-power reflective LCD or electrophoretic (e-ink) screen and replaceable flat cell batteries, even if this added to the size.
Let’s get it. Ledger Magnum Z, 50 inch LCD with GamePass
You get the practical level of how cooking works. You've seen it done, tried it. People might not know how TLS works but they can login to assbook and their bank's website. People drive without understanding pistons and valves and torque converters. LCD, LED, OLED, QLED? Don't know; just watchin the game on the big screen. Chemical effects of Aleve on the body? Meh, it makes the headaches go away. Microwave heats up food.. something about some kinda waves maybe? Batteries in phones will charge for pennies worth of electricity and work for most of the day - probably magic. Lots of things in the world can be usable without in depth understanding of them.
Wait I thought LCD screen did use ink. Isn't that what the L stands for as in liquid?
Thanks for all the comments. Currently im thinking: Unicorn with Read only wallet LCD screen showing balance and seeing it grow with each birthday (eg. every birthday X € as savings gift from family). Of course not instead of other gifts..
Getting complex here, but you could wire up an ir sensor or mechanical switch that would trigger when a coin goes in, have a piece of software pick up that event and then submit a transaction from your source wallet to their piggy bank wallet, all while updating a LCD screen on the piggy bank? 10ish minutes later their balance updates, or immediate if you choose to use LN wallets.
1. Get a plastic piggy bank 2. Make a square hole 3. Put a small LCD screen in the hole 4. Wire the screen up to an rpi that is running a watch only wallet 5. Send small amounts to the watch only address regularly
The LCD could’ve died, rechargeable battery could’ve taken a shit, a bad circuit in the chip. Lots of possible reasons, it would be hard to tell how to mitigate it. The device itself is essentially meaningless, it’s the keys that are important.
Where in my comment did I ever mentioned CRT??? >he was an early adopter to LCD and multi-monitor Ya good for him. But most people aren't early adopter nor do they give to fucks about multiple monitor.
Do you think old dudes were using CRT in 2009? My dad was an old SWE at that point and he was an early adopter to LCD and multi-monitor because he knew how valuable more screen real-estate was.
my whole comment thread was something in comparison to what is pictured by OP. I'm just amazed people keep going for these raspberry pi:s and add external hard drives and mini LCD screens and sometimes even external battery UPS. When all that and more can be had for cheaper by using a pinephone.
I'd have a little LCD screen that looks snazzy and you can change each day. Trust that it's approved the moment you see it in the blockchain.
You might consider Trezor, Ledger or Coldcard. Trezor One launched in August 2014 as the first Bitcoin hardware wallet and Trezor model T is the latest version which comes with a bright color LCD screen. Both offer secure bitcoin (and many other Crypto) storage plus the ability to spend with the convenience of a hot wallet. Ledger Nano S, is the cheapest between hardware wallets with a screen, and it was released in 2016. Ledger Nano X is Ledger's newest hardware wallet. The main benefit is that it has bluetooth, which allows users to safely connect the wallet with iOS devices. Coldcard is an easy to use, ultra-secure, open-source and affordable hardware wallet that is easy to back up via an encrypted microSD card. Your private key is stored in a dedicated security chip.
