We want to announce that we are open sourcing our Hardware & Software Wallets databases. πŸŽ‰ We are open to receive collaborations from anyone who want to add new wallets or improve the data. The goal is to have the most complete and honest website comparing Bitcoin wallets. https://github.com/thebitcoinhole/hardware-wallets https://github.com/thebitcoinhole/software-wallets @npub1jg552aulj07skd6e7y2hu0vl5g8nl5jvfw8jhn6jpjk0vjd0waksvl6n8n @npub1tg779rlap8t4qm8lpgn89k7mr7pkxpaulupp0nq5faywr8h28llsj3cxmt @npub1s0vtkgej33n7ec4d7ycxmwt78up8hpfa30d0yfksrshq7t82mchqynpq6j @npub17tyke9lkgxd98ruyeul6wt3pj3s9uxzgp9hxu5tsenjmweue6sqq4y3mgl @npub1mutnyacc9uc4t5mmxvpprwsauj5p2qxq95v4a9j0jxl8wnkfvuyque23vg @npub1chxa2um7gl65ymyaagjrqys39mtzlwnm2drcs6qkqmme7k4edq4qghrjdd @npub1hea99yd4xt5tjx8jmjvpfz2g5v7nurdqw7ydwst0ww6vw520prnq6fg9v2

You can choose to memorize your seed phrase and discard all backups, believing that this eliminates security threats. Memorizing a seed phrase can be a powerful security tool when traveling across borders, but it also creates a single point of failure: you. #selfcustody #bitcoin
Generate your own entropy When creating your own keys, there are many ways to do it, since we just need a very long random number. One way is to use high-quality dice, like those found in casinos. Roll them several times to create a long random number. #selfcustody
Withdraw all your #Bitcoinβ€―β€―β€― from exchanges or custody services When you have Bitcoin in an exchange or a custody service, they hold control over your Bitcoin. It is only when you withdraw your Bitcoin onto a set of keys that you control that you truly own it. #selfcustody
Let's talk about Reproducible Builds for Hardware Wallets firmware. Verifiable Source wallets let you inspect code for flaws, but pre-compiled software lacks a way to verify if it matches the source. Reproducible builds ensure that anyone can recreate identical copies from source code, build environment, and instructions. That's why is important for all wallet users to learn how to build the firmware and verify it before upgrading their wallets. If not possible for you, at least see if there are proofs of others doing that verification. One good place to find those proofs is This week on Twitter & Nostr @DETERMINISTIC OPTIMISM 🌞 encouraged people to learn how to verify builds. This was a success, a lot of people could learn how to build and verify the Coldcard firmware. From we want to also collaborate. So, we added a new section "Reproducible Builds" on our website. There you can find for each wallet if they offer reproducible builds instructions and if there are proofs of verification on We encourage all the hardware wallet manufacturers (or anyone interested) to collaborate and automate proofs of verifications on . According to our research: @Blockstream Jade, Coldcard, @BitBox, @Foundation Passport Batch 2, Trezor, KeepKey, @SeedSigner, and Specter DIY offers reproducible builds instructions and/or proofs of verification. Please help us with a boost. And remember: #LearnToBuild #donttrustverify
