  • But if they give you different addresses, you’ll know something’s off. If one shows a different address than the other two, that’s a red flag.

  • Right. But if one wallet gets hit with malware, what then? Is my whole setup compromised or will the other wallets still show me the real address?

  • Are MultiSig wallets really safe or just for people who know what they're doing? I wanted to use one for added security, but now I'm second-guessing everything. Is it complicated to set up or am I just overthinking it?

  • Got it, thanks! So QR codes won’t work like with SeedSigner. USB isn’t an option without a plugin, huh? Guess I’ll have to try the microSD route. Is the process like with Foundation Wallet using a.json file?

  • So it’s basically about whether my computer knows the seed when I input it directly? Can I still sign on my hardware device then? I plan to use Electrum on an airgapped computer, so I wonder if it matters whether I…

  • What’s the difference between having a seed and using a hardware device? Like, if I manually enter the seed from my hardware wallet, is that the same as selecting ‘Use a Hardware Device’? Or would signing from the…

  • Can I connect Trezor or Bitbox to the WatchOnly for signing, then finalize it on the Electrum ColdWallet?

  • Yeah, that’s accurate for airgapped devices. But Trezor and Bitbox aren’t airgapped, they need to connect to an online wallet first. When you connect, your seed phrase stays safe. I prefer a full airgapped setup myself,…

  • You might find it handy to check out the hardware wallets that support multisig. Check out Jameson Lopp's multisig signing test. Usually, you'd connect your hardware wallet to an online wallet like Electrum for…

  • Hey all, I have a quick question that’s been bugging me. I want to set up a cold wallet using Electrum on a computer that’s completely offline, and I’d also have a watch-only wallet on my online computer. My plan is to…

  • Thanks for the info! But I keep wondering, why does Sparrow say it’s risky? What can hackers really do with just the pub key? I mean, that sounds a bit extreme… Sparrow mentions that since Bitcoin Core stores your…

  • Hey everyone, I’ve got a question. Is it risky to connect Specter to Bitcoin Core? I heard Bitcoin Core keeps the pub key unencrypted, so can someone use it to figure out my private key? Like, I get that it’s tough, but…

  • Got it, but what about moving it to a hardware wallet? Coinbase probably doesn’t track that I’m sending it to myself. Do they only care about transactions that change BTC to USD, or do they monitor transfers to wallets…

  • Hey guys, Quick question for ya. I’m in the US and whenever I move my Bitcoin between my accounts, like from Coinbase to my wallet, do I have to pay taxes on that? I'm worried since I've got some gains already and don’t…

  • Can you connect a full node to a public Electrum server? I’m curious if that even works.

  • Hey everyone, I have a couple of questions about Full Nodes and Electrum Servers if that's cool. 1) When I connect to a full node, what can the owner see? 2) What about connecting to an Electrum server? What info can…
