  • If you are Bitcoin only I recommend building a SeedSigner from scratch and using Nunchuk as the interface for the wallet. They’re both open source and have been thoroughly vetted. Don’t keep your entire stack on Tails on a Hot wallet as there could be a point to where you can accidentally catch something on said instance of Tails and have your funds taken. (Highly improbable, but the risk is still there)

    As for the Ledger recover stuff, I personally have vetted it and checked a couple of things to see if it’s truly something to worry about. So from how it works is that it creates shards that require approval from your hardware wallet that only is in effect if you build said sharding and export. Then it will send your shards through E2EE methods to said partners of which they can’t reconstruct your key without needing the core to unlock your wallet. Of which you must approve through ledger recover on either their app or custodial service. They cannot remotely break your keys into shards without permission since it requires the secure element to activate and have your manually approve it for it go through. With all that said it is wise to use multiple hardware wallet vendors to minimize risk when you’re storing your keys. You could always go for air gapped solutions if you want to use hardware wallets without the keys being stored on them.




  • It wasn’t due to only one instance, but more so the way federation works. They got tired of seeing a few political posts when trying to explore what the federated feed has and I ended up doing some work to help them curate a personal feed and set up for things they enjoy the most.

    I’ve helped them curate what they want to see. But since there are so many copies of communities that have varying levels of activity that’s what also put them off of using it as a core platform.


  • Honestly fragmentation is what keeps people that I recommend Lemmy away from it. They are used to the UX/UI doing most of the heavy lifting along with the more politically charged posts being there, my coworker who loves self hosting and tinkering tried to join. But was put off with how much more political things are on Lemmy and some Fediverse instances are and how hostile they can be with certain opinions. But I taught them how to curate their feed for more things tailored to their passions. But they’ve been on and off since there’s multiple versions the same community which feeds into the fragmentation issue. That is just a viewpoint from me, I’m still fairly new to the Fediverse and Lemmy. (Which I love how diverse it is and how passionate people are.)
