Personally always called bullshit on this position that a passphrase wallet has more pitfalls that any other setup. I think many just repeat what they hear, maybe you too.
1. Generate seed properly and verify
2. Enter passphrase wallet and record fingerprint
3. Put a few SATs in this wallet
4. Delete wallet from signer, Sparrow whatever you used
5. Recover all and prove same fingerprint and SATs amount
6. Back up seed and passphrase separately, make multiple backups of both even, put fingerprint in your password manager or wherever, doesn't matter if you lose it (don't label it "bitcoin wallet fingerprint")
Really no different in vulnerability to your 3/3 multisig.
And this statement people make about 2/3 multisig....
"Oh you can lose one and you're still good"
If you are sloppy enough to lose 1/3 you might also lose two.
Just lose zero, not seed backup(s) not passphrase backup(s).
Is 2/3 multisig very secure when done right?
Yes.
Is passphrase wallet very secure when done right?
Yes.

Perhaps yes. I hope it works out for them but am skeptical and think they missed the mark. Is a hardware wallet something that should be carried around on one's person or kept readily accessible in one's home so it can also be used for these other purposes?
If they still had available a basic bitcoin only signing device that wasn't $500 I would have bought a couple of them recently and not have gone down the path of sourcing Seedsigner parts.

Can't match Seedsigner yet but oh.....it has a password manager so when Amazon shopping juat pull your cold storage hardware wallet out of your back pocket and log in.
Really wished it had an egg timer though, that would certainly be unmatched.

I was able to find and order enough parts today from three sources to build two seedsigners, that's the direction I am going now.

Someone claims to be privacy conscious but then develops a privacy related app that needs location services turned on for the app to function, what word can be used to describe this person?
GPT-4o mini
The person could be described as a hypocrite. This term refers to someone who claims to have certain beliefs or values but acts in contradiction to those beliefs. In this case, advocating for privacy while developing an app that requires location services can be seen as inconsistent with their stated values.

Yes it us an Android thing thing but there are ways around it, just ask AI and you will see.
Real world example:
VictronConnect is a fully developed app for Victron solar devices that monitors, controls and even updates firmware of these devices, all over Bluetooth. Older versions of this app needed location permission only (NOT PHONE LOCATION SERVICES ENABLED) for it to work. Back then they showed a popup saying app location permission was required by Android and they don't want or collect user location data.
I just installed VictronConnect on a new Pixel with latest Android and now latest version of this app does not even need location permission. I connected all my Victron devices and updated FW on them yesterday, all over Bluetooth with phone LOCATION SERVICES OFF and NO location permission given for the app.
@nprofile…rzrk admitted to @nprofile…0fd0 on @nprofile…askz he is not an Android developer.
The app I used as example is from a large reputable company, their app was certainly not just vibe-coded in a few weeks by people inexperienced in Android development.
What does it say when a large corporation like Victron Energy cares more about user privacy than @nprofile…nj96 and @nprofile…rzrk.
These people purport to be privacy oriented individuals but seem to be quick to drop their drawers for this new shiny thing.
Please tell me why anyone with an inclination toward privacy would want to run around with a Location Services enabled phone.

GPS Hardware
Wi-Fi Positioning
Cell Tower Triangulation
Bluetooth Location Services Location APIs
Background Location Updates Location Caching
Geofencing

The OP was about the pitfalls with added complexity in a setup, passphrases specifically.
I am saying it is maybe more correct to educate people on the importance of testing/proving recovery and good backup practices, and to not blame lost funds on something other than common user sloppiness.

2025-07-31 04:46:15 UTC

Not sure what you mean.....a passphrase is not device specific and is not part of the seed but added to the seed. Any passphrase added to the seed makes a new wallet.

2025-07-31 03:36:14 UTC

You are right, it is always possible to lose a passphrase but what makes it more losable than a seed?

2025-07-31 02:20:48 UTC

Right....but I think the point is a passphrase will not weaken it.

2025-07-31 01:11:18 UTC

A passphrase adds entropy to your seed. Two things need to be broken, not just one. (seed and passphrase too)

2025-07-31 01:07:44 UTC

Passphrase alone doesn't give you the wallet, you would need to brute force the seed too.

Good to know.
Can Bitchat also send messages if both parties are out of Bluetooth range but connected to internet?
Bitchat Github states:
"Store & Forward: Messages cached for offline peers and delivered when they reconnect"
What does that mean...."offline" & "reconnect" in tradional internet connectivity speak or Bluetooth offline & reconnect?
I also see that Location Services must be on for Android app to even let you past the first screen, pretty sure privacy people are not going to like this.
When the app first came out it was enough to just give app Location permission, now latest version wants phone Location enabled.
