End of 2023 I bought and used a pile of hardware wallets to evaluate to determine the most safe to recommend to new users that are still learning and not necessarily tech savvy. All were with Bitcoin-only focus, no shitcoin support, in $60-$200 range. After testing 7 of the most common that fit the target specs, coldcard didn’t end up at the top when looking through a UX, UI, and safety lens. I’m wanting to do this again in case my answers would change. Admittedly UI/UX are subjective and rely on my experience. So some of these criteria are my feel of the devices and enjoyability of use and my guess of reliability in long term use. This month I plan to revisit this testing among today’s hardware wallet options. I’ll also be able to adjust rankings based on using my favorites for an extended period.
