(Zeus Github Readme below) I had finally got around to installing the Zeus Lightning Wallet, and I’ve been impressed with it. Since I run my own Bitcoin and Lightning nodes using Raspiblitz, their menu made setting it up to access…
A good overview of the security philosophy of Trezor hardware wallets, but in the video they specifically cover the new Trezor 7, which uses their own secure element chip which can be audited, which isn’t hidden behind an NDA.
