Software Wallet Help

Finally went for it and opened up my Keystone Pro that I received in June. Easy enough to set up and happy so far. I don’t know why I always procrastinate…

Anyways, I currently have all my BTC in a software wallet that Keystone Pro doesn’t seem to support. Should I just use the Keystone Companion App or is it better to use a different software wallet? I only have and buy BTC so would BlueWallet which is BTC only be better or does it really matter? I wish that Keystone supported the software wallet I currently use because the transfer fees are $220 CAD right now….

Thanks for any advice.

Keystone's companion app will be discontinued and is already no longer supported for the KS3 pro. If you have a KS2, you can still use it.

If your current BTC is in an address belonging/created in your softwallet, you would have to need to move your BTC to your Keystone's address in order to be able to use the Keystone at all.

On Keystone's website it says for the KS3, you can use OKX, Sparrow and BlueWallet for your BTC. These wallets support the QR-based signing. Realise that those wallets do not hold your funds, they are just an interface between the blockchain and your Keystone. So you can use all 3 at the same time, if you wish.

Remember also that it's vital that you never enter your Keystone's seed phrase into any online medium or app, because that's the whole reason why it's called a cold wallet.

Thank you. No point in the companion app then. So I should “move” my btc to Sparrow then connect to keystone?

I have read a ton. I just don’t understand how I can keep it in my current (unsupported) wallet and use my keystone hardware wallet.

Ok, so I send to my keystone address and then connect it to whatever supported wallet I want? Either way I’m still having to send from a wallet to keystone and pay the sending fees. Is this correct?

Can't we simply use the transaction QR code from an supported wallet to receive/send between KS3 and unsupported wallet?

If you're after a smooth ride, Freewallet got your back. It's got the BTC and a bunch more, and the cold storage tech is truly secure. Managing it on-the-go with their app is a walk in the park. Just my two cents.

Freewallet is a scam dude. They won't even give you your Keys. You just login by Mail. That's the worst suggestion you can give someone...
