#AskNostr I'm here with questions for this wonderful community 💜✨️1. How did you choose your BTC wallet?2. What features did you find most important when choosing?3. Have you compared wallets?4. Do you have a trusted website or person you follow who can help you compare them?_____________#Hola! Vengo con preguntas para esta bella comunidad 💜✨️1. Como escogiste tu wallet de BTC?2. Que características te parecieron más importantes a la hora de escoger?3. Has hecho comparaciones entre wallets?4. Tienes una página o una persona que sigas de tu confianza que te ayude a compararlas?
I look at reviews and guides like BTC sessions. Watch them carefully and see if the wallet does what I want itto do.Then I check popular forums like stacker.news, Twitter, and nostr, and you can now use AI tools, to see whatpeople say about the product in general. Try to find any problems or complaints.You can also use an AI tool to help you look at a projects GitHub page, look at the open issues, ask your AIthings like “what are developers working on?” “Any unresolved issues?”This way you can use a sort of “web of trust” to review the code and products you decide to use, even as someonewho cannot read code themselves.For example I can start you off with a few products:Hardware:ColdcardBlockstream JadeSoftware:Sparrow wallet (desktop)Nunchuk wallet (mobile)Software wallets for spending:Aqua wallet🔥🧡 good luck!
Thank you so much for this response! Okay, this is exactly my point about an idea I have.What you describe is what I think most knowledgeable users do, but I feel like it creates a gap for lessexperienced users, who are looking for shortcuts.What if there was a page where you could objectively compare the features of many different wallets at the sametime? Would you use it?In fact, this could even help with smaller wallet projects that may not be as well-known, but whose featureswould make them excellent options.
Yes some people make graphics and websites comparing walletsThe problem here is the centralized source of information, so if a more advanced pleb wants to check things forthemselves (don’t trust, verify) then they have to go through the process themselves.For less experienced people I think they can do the same thing, but if it’s a newbie family or friend of yoursthen best is to just tell them what works for you- since they trust you.I think it’s just like with the products themselves, all these methods have their own tradeoffs and nothing isperfect
