its probably planned obsolescence + a fact nano could really use more space

Bitcoin Dev

I don't have a nanoX and I ignore the implementation details, but do notice that the implementation leverages capabilities that are only in the nanoX secure chip but not in the nanoS one. Maybe the web packets are forwarded encrypted already from the secure chip, and opensource has no way to know if what's being transmitted is only a shard instead of the whole seed.

this is why trezor was refusing to use it, so they can stay fully open

this is how it works, secure chips aren't opensoruce, the arm chip code around them its opensource and shields from calls inside and out

In Ledgers current one shards are sent to French, US and British companies.

it is opensource except that, and that part doesn't interface with the usb or the internet

its opensource, good luck finding the back door, you can collect the bounty

This! You could choose your attack vector and not forced into regulatory capture with KYC and regulated companies.

Makes more sense if trusting a third party

Now they are adding the option to split and encrypt, and then send to three custodians. Its opt in, you would have to input pin and approve it. So its fine, if you dont like it, just skip it, as you did mnenonic verification and all other functions.

once you input a pin, private key leaves the secure element, it always did, in all wallets

so maybe it wouldn't fit without sacrificing another app

Bitcoin Dev

23 May 2023 17:20

i don't think thats the reason they limit the functionality to nanox

Bitcoin Dev

23 May 2023 17:13

they were attacked for it quite profusely (and i defended them that its fine)

Bitcoin Dev

23 May 2023 17:11

its the same in other hardware wallets that decided to use secure chips

Bitcoin Dev

23 May 2023 17:09

Hmm didnt know this is this official statement of theirs ?

Bitcoin Dev

23 May 2023 16:29

the opensource part shields from all the posible abuse coming from bolos (in theory)

Bitcoin Dev

23 May 2023 16:28

but it's not open source. the secure chip code isn't open because of NDA or whatever. A key part of the recovery service is that the shards are sent to three different jurisdictions People might want to verify that part

Bitcoin Dev

only a fool, who believes there is no back door in the update ledger recover. The hard wallet must be separated like a physical wallet.

To be friends rather than companies

Bitcoin Dev

Personally i would like to see similar solution, but where they would send the shares to other ledgers, forming social recovery that way, with trusted friends holding it.

Bitcoin Dev

many wallets offer sd card export, ledger offers mnemonic verification which also extracts the mnemonic, and of course while derivation and signing aint happening in the secure chip, there is no support for bitcoin crypto in cheap chips.

Bitcoin Dev

22 May 2023 03:47

the main issue was that people didnt understand how hardware wallets work, so they took ledger claims the way they wanted them to be.

Bitcoin Dev

It also deletes tons of totally unhelpful spam, you just don't see it. Plenty of reason to keep it. Sorry that it comes out that way from time to time

Hi, don't know if this is the right group to ask (if not please let me know where should I head to), the thing is that I'm running a full bitcoin core node on latest mint stable release and couldn't find an up to date tutorial about connecting through latest version of Tor services (v3) safely....do you know any?

you're quite literally asking to get scammed, so please be safe @learntotrade
