    Thank you for your tutorial. I just became fully Self-Sovereigned as a result of your help. I got a Q for my birthday earlier this year and just needed this nudge to get my BC in full and total self-custody. Great instruction without getting into the weeds and covered exactly what I needed/wanted to know about using the Coldcard Q in receiving, sending, and tracking. I did not know, going into the set up of the Q, that I would need a software agent like Sparrow to facilitate this process, but I love it. Thank you, again

  • @jybevox
    @jybevox 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +6

    REMEMBER, 12 WORDS IS ENOUGH
    Because as Andreas Antonopoulos and Adam Back said, Bitcoin elliptic curve security is only 128 bits anyway (12-words = 128bits while 24 words = 256bits). Using 24 words is like typing a "100 characters long password", when the machine will check only the first 20 characters of the password anyway.

    Thank you Ben. I purchased a MK 4 recently and am still getting used to it, but found this video very informative too. One question: I purchased a magnetic UBC/C cord with my MK 4. You mentioned that the magnetic cord does not transmit data and a conventional cord is required. Does this mean that if I am plugged into my PC with the magnetic cord I cannot send with it?

    • @NiagaraBTC
      @NiagaraBTC 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      I'm not Ben but that is correct: the magnetic cord is intentionnaly for power only. Ideally you never plug your Mk4 into a computer and do everything air gapped either by NFC or with the SD card.

    Thanks, yours is the first review I have seen on this.
    Could that data cable connection be an area of security compromise?
    For future videos could you demonstrate the other areas of signing the transaction, namely NFC and SD card transfer (and anything else)? I understand it has two sd card slots.
    If only I had a Bitcoin or two to use this thing that would be grand? Nevertheless, I enjoyed this review and look forward to subsequent ones.

    Well I did purchase a colcard Q and followed this video. It was fine right up to sparrow wallet reommendation. Downloaded that on my mac fine but was then confused with the public server we should use as they had writing saying that it was not ideal for privacy. Yikes. The reason I got the colcard was for maximum privacy and security. So the sparrow wallet was very confusing and it stopped me cold in my tracks for setting up things. Maybe better explanation or other wallet suggestions would help but unfortunately this tutorial failed me.

    • @BTCSessions
      @BTCSessions  8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      By default any Bitcoin wallet will use a public server until you run your own. This is something you can do eventually but you should not let it deter you from using Bitcoin in the meantime.
      When you eventually run your own node, I quite like the ones by Start 9.
      Just pick any of the servers Sparrow has listed here. They are hand selected for having publicly stated they don't collect any data.
      Just to be clear, EVERY Bitcoin wallet is using a public server if you aren't running one and manually connecting to it yourself. It's just that no wallets other than Sparrow make you aware of this upon setup.

CK finally found it after 4 months of back and forth but I now have to pay the difference an extra $20. What’s the point of reservation if they aren’t going to honor it? Plenty of other options out there.

      This video is just one of the tutorials I'm doing on the device. It is the most simplistic option of how to use the device. I also disagree that it should never be used via usb. A coldcard used via this method may be marginally less secure than the air-gapped options, but it's still better than many other hardware options on the market, and miles ahead of a hot wallet or worse... leaving money on an exchange.
