Open Source Hardware Wallets

[Mia Chloe]

Talking about open source coins are totally different things. Trezor is on another level on HW products, aside from that its the very first HW wallet, the support from the community towards the company is overflowing. Trezor being as an open source project has nothing to lose, compared to new ones.

I didn't notice any other open source hardware wallets losing anything just because they are open source, Keystone, BitBox and Jade are doing fine, sam e as Satochip.
Like I said before, they can only gain something and improve their code if someone else forks and discovered some new bug in code.

Good to see that a thread like this was finally pinned here. I was actually waiting to see if admin would take a action like this. That's because a while back I actually suggested a board for open source wallets and some people though they seemed to buy the idea were also simultaneously of the opinion that we have way too many boards lying around the forum so I suggested a thread would be good too.

I think another thread for open source software wallets should also be created for wallets like ELECTRUM that are very popular and of course usually have a couple of questions from different users.

I already created a topic for Multicoin Open Source Wallets few months ago and it's not very active:
https://www.altcoinstalks.com/index.php?topic=318934

That is more than enough, since everyone knows about Electrum wallet as bitcoin only wallet, and there isn't many alternatives like Sparrow etc.
Please stay on topic here - Open Source Hardware Wallets.

Anyone who is familiar with DIY project SeedSigner knows this device can only be used for Bitcoin, that was the case until now.
With XmrSigner now you can your own Air-Gapped Monero Hardware Wallet, using the same SeedSigner device with flashed XmrSigner code.
Everything is released as open source, and even new enclosure design is released with .stl files ready for download for free.

I didn't know about this project! It's really nice, we finally have a DIY open source air-gapped XMR hardware wallet!

I've got a few Pi Zeros lying around that aren't being used, so I'm going to try and make one for myself (probably a minimalistic version) .

Yeah, it's great to see this project coming to life.
If you already have Rpi Zero than you only need to print the case, there are a bunch of .stl files available for free, you don't have to use the one I posted above.
Ggreat thing about it is that you can switch back to Seedsigner code for Bitcoin anytime you want.

List of Open Source devices is updated with new hardware wallet from Blockstream called Jade plus.
It has some improvements compared to standard Jade wallet, but it is also much more expensive.
I still couldn't find links released on their github page, so I am posting website link for now:

After Jade Plus, list is updated with another new source devices, Passport Prime.
Passport Prime is not only a hardware wallet since it has many additional features, but I still decided to include it and wait to see the official release.
I think this is going to be interesting device when it comes in the market, something like all-in-one device.

There is a new hardware wallet in town, and it's called Cardware.
Cardware can be purchased form $77, it is AirGapped only dvice, that is using QR code scanning, and it has CC EAL6+ certification secure element.
There is web app used for connecting with Cardware, but I would prefer to have support for other software wallets.
They claim source code is available but I can't find their github page so I will add them in list only after confiormation.

Looking forward to its launch and seeing the reviews, they're being bold to trying something new that no brand has tried yet. What caught my attention the most was the possibility of saving 2FA codes on the device itself, as well as an encrypted space (serving as a pen drive) to store whatever i want.

It's April, have any users who have bought it received any updates by email, and will they arrive this April?

It would be interesting if it had some of the features that coldcard has, such as seed-xor, BIP-85 (not just for mnemonic phrases, but for other values such as xpriv, hex, WIF etc).

Passport Prime already have some new features with 2FA support and security keys that can be used with NFC or USB.
They could add new stuff down the road, but I don't think they are going to reproduce anything coming from c0ldcard any time soon.

I still consider the Passport one of the best air-gapped hardware wallets out there. The problem is I'm afraid to import it right now.

Another wallet I've been really liking is the JADE, you can even make a DIY version. The only trade-off is the Bluetooth support, but I'd have no problem using it with my iOS since it's the only way to use hardware wallets on an iphone.

Note: I don't think Bluetooth communication, even if encrypted, is as advantageous or secure as manufacturers claim.
That's why I add less amount compared to a hardware wallet with USB connection and/or air-gapped QR-Code/SD cards.

There is no reason to be afraid, because there are resellers selling and shipping Passport device from EU and other regions, you don't have to order them from United States.

I never liked bluetooth for hardware wallets, and I have seen how quickly it becomes obsolete in some watches.
Bluetooth 6.0 is already out, and pervious versions could soon become unusable and not supported.
