@Rob1Ham@rodpalmerhodl@GrassFedBitcoin Yup. I used descriptors to create private keys on an offline machine running Core and derive a watch only wallet for my node. @YetiWallet uses descriptors to create multisig wallets in Core.
@Jay14Jy@saifedean@YetiWallet It is very noob friendly...it's just following instructions. I've had several noobs use it with satisfaction (and it actually taught them a lot of how Bitcoin works).
Security Alert:
@YetiWallet should be fine because it requires a new installation that downloads the latest security updates each time you bring the wallet online.
This is the state for #bitcoin self-custody.
Ask for advice on Twitter and get treated disrespectfully for asking.
- “What’s the best guide you can link to?”
- “Why even asking here.. Man some people, wtf”
If only there were a guide like @YetiWallet to help.
@AtlasBatterie @saifedean I'm hesitant to recommend Bitcoin-specific hardware for higher security solutions, especially when not fully open source.
"Just use a Cold Card" ignores a lot of security and privacy considerations.
The best noob friendly thing I'm aware of is still @YetiWallet.
@janxonseat@BTCKindergarten Follow a reputable guide on how to set up airgapped multisig using only Bitcoin Core.
My preferred guide is @YetiWallet’s Level 3 Wallet.
@RanHarpaz@ThomasEWoods @Badbrothers_NFT Cold Card isn't fully open source. The by far most noob friendly and secure method is https://t.co/yG8hJOvG7D by @YetiWallet.
.@YetiWallet is still the best option
to secure more than $50,000.
It makes using #Bitcoin Core easier.
✅ Noob-friendly
✅ 3-of-7 multisig
✅ Airgapped psbts
✅ Generic Linux OS
✅ Generic hardware
✅ Free and open source
✅ Designed to be audited
✅ Fire and earthquake proof
The most expensive
and dangerous aspect
of my @YetiWallet setup
is having to fly on a plane
to assemble three packets.
Spending your cold storage
should require proof of work.
Running Core isn’t hard. This coming from a guy completely unskilled in computer tech. Don’t bother with Chinese made, buggy and expensive USB drives aka “Wallets”. @YetiWallet is worth your time if you want additional security.
@cyber_kiss@hodlonaut@YetiWallet has good walkthroughs.
But otherwise, you can wipe the laptop with Ubuntu and install Core and then disable wifi/don't connect it to the internet. Use another old laptop with Ubuntu and Core online to validate transactions and use PSBTs to create, sign, and send txns
