Blockstream (npub1jg5…6n8n) Jade hardware is painful for newbies.
Basic setup doesn’t allow a passphrase which I wanted them to have just for security of keeping their 12 words, and won’t persist the keys without using their blind oracle + pin. That is major friction so for a noob it makes spending seem complicated with extra verification every reboot of the HW, but on the plus side, at least they’re not going to be moving those Sats around.
I regret going that way for them; Passport or Coldcard would have been better, even Tapsigners.

I know Bitcoiners love Sparrow and for good reason, but Nunchuk is right up there IMO. Swept their wedding Sats straight to their new wallet no problem, and was really intuitive for their Zoomer minds.
quotingTook me nearly 12 months to get my missus to move her savings to Bitcoin.

She’s now up 230%
She told her sister back then who thought she’d lose it all and warned her against but she trusted me and went with it. Now the sister wants to move her savings to BTC too because she can’t deny the results.
Sister is getting married next month; guess what she’s getting for a wedding present?
