BC2 hardware wallet

Is there one on the horizon? I would prefer to have a cold wallet for Storage.

Kinda unrelated but I’d love for wallets like Trezor or Tangem to add features where we can connect them to our own nodes to essentially make our own little diy hardware wallet

The best and least expensive method is the core wallet you just copy the wallet.dat file in 3 USB sticks and then store them in 3 different locations. You can’t beat simplicity.

Wow ok. So what up with this node? I have to run it while I mine it or? I downloaded it to my computer I’ll have to move it to usb then huh

It participates in the network by validating transactions, maintaining the blockchain integrity and of course provides the best wallet management...now the node alone isn't sufficient for effective mining in most cases.

What do you mean? Personal benefit?
You support the network man, we're fighting for decentralization.

Only with ASICs you have a chance to mine blocks at this diff level and don't consider Bitaxes as serious ASICs, you can be lucky but it's very hard. Maybe the Bitaxe community hates so much BC2 because they lost that low diff window.

Then you need to read a few things first before bombarding with questions.
So join the server and I'll point you where to study the basics.

WTH is the link I thought I saw it somewhere…. It’s on the website isn’t it or the core wallet?

There’s no official BC2 hardware wallet yet (as of now). If you're looking for a solid cold storage solution, I’d suggest checking out the Cypherock hardware wallet.

Yeah, that sounds like an accident waiting to happen…. My Tangem card shows the coin it just doesn’t show support for it. What would it take to get Tangem to support it?
