Two minute summary: BITCOIN CORE Offline Signing

I like her voice.

@BenWestgate_ has been working to make this even easier.

I’ll send this to my grandma, what could go wrong

@JWWeatherman_ Having trouble understanding why the devices MUST be destroyed. Cant they just be wiped on an offline device? I'm guessing that's not enough to properly wipe flash memory?

@JWWeatherman_ Too many moving parts at the hardware and software levels. Do not risk it, otherwise avoid this kind of setup altogether.

@JWWeatherman_ I can see given the complexity and how computers have so many parts that can contain memory and data.

Amazing! Love your videos! Any alternatives to TAILS that is command line only and also works on ARM machines? Thank you for your work ✌️

You can just run bitcoind and bitcoin-cli all the commands. Don't need a gui at all.

Very cool. Love your unconventional spin on bitcoin self custody. Will watch the vids. Any recommendations on the offline laptop? I think I might call it the dashjr-method.

2nd hand old small laptop. Remove HD and WiFi/Bluetooth card and you're good to go.

surely not indexing every block? Or do you suggest using a pruned node? Gonna need a pretty thick USB drive regardless

You only need the private key on the signing device.

DIY ColdCard...

Sounds so easy grandma could do it 😂

grandmas were never tinkerers, nor early adopters, nor early majority. Always fall on the laggards/Luddite camp. This time is not different. I don't make the rules 🤷

When @SparrowWallet ?

@SparrowWallet c'mon, you don't need me for that
