Are hardware wallets only for the extra paranoid? Does anyone here own one?

the great ledger/trezor hack of 2018 is coming. trillions will be stolen, but the hackers will destroy crypto in the process

It's a hundred dollars. If you have thousands of dollars in crypto it's nothing.

If you have more than 10k in the game, you should have a hardware wallet. You can make your own with Armory and an old laptop that's been gutted of the WiFi as long as you know OpSec. Paper wallets are also fine as long as you just want to hold, but half the fun of crypto is moving funds around to multiply your stack

What hardware did you use? What crypto lib?

I've been considering this myself. Although I'm still not clear on how to deliver a signed transaction back to a wallet.

if you're poor or only trading a few thousand dollars I probably wouldn't bother, and instead just make do with paper wallets and not trade frequently (just buy and hold)

once I hit about ~$20k in crypto I bought a Ledger Nano, although I've recommended people do it anywhere over >$10k, guess it's relative to what kind of money you have though and what risk you're willing to take.

Hardware wallets are just for consumerist normies. Just use a paper wallet and don't store your private key on any device

I see, thanks for the advice.

I'm a noob with $0 in BTC, but just letting at my 'getting started' options.

Think I'll just go with a basic Electrum wallet on my desktop until I'm comfortable with it.

solid plan. Electrum wallets are the shit.
