Topic: Can di guarantee complete anonymity of a hardware crypto wallet? (Read 170 times)

I know it's not that bad, but it's ironic since they claim their hardware wallet (and it's service) is complete anonymity.

So your completely anonymous hardware wallet requires the customer's full name when registering for the private sale. After that, you probably have to enter a shipping address, payment information, etc. Doesn't seem that anonymous to me. 

To be honest, that is still better than Trezor's website that has 9 ad trackers and 1 third-party cookie, or the one by Ledger with 16 ad trackers and 27 third-party cookies.

The OP account is basically just a "shilling"/advertising account:
NOTE: all links purposely broken by me

None of the OP makes any real sense and half of it is factually incorrect... I would not trust whatever website this account was promoting.

There will be no anonymity if the address you use is known to the public and is connected to various important addresses that you use. all will be able to be tracked.
about the Entheca wallet I just heard it from your post. whether this post is just an advertisement to attract other people's interest, because this wallet is completely new to me. In my opinion, the best hardware wallet is still dominated by Ledger and Trezor.

I am not really sure what is the deal with this Entheca wallet but I researched a bit deeper and I even registered on their website to fake purchase this wallet for testing purposes.
Even if I wanted to spend money and buy this device I couldn't do it, so maybe they are just collecting and harvesting customer information and email addresses.

First weird thing I noticed is the claims on their Medium page is that this device has built in GPS antenna to track exact device locations with all the changes, and that is totally anti-anonymous.
They also claim that this device is waterproof up to 4 feet and I found that hard to believe without any proof, especially after I didn't see any activity from them since 2020.
I also found one of their alternative websites entheca.pro and I can't find much information about their team but I see they had some ICO sale back in September of 2020 without a single info on this forum.
All this looks very shady for me and I don't think device exist in real life except maybe in imagination of their creators.

Hardware wallets don't guarantee anything and especially not complete anonymity because many of them you have to purchase with credit cards and send them your name, address and phone number,
if you are not smart and you don't care about privacy or if you didn't know How to buy a Hardware Wallet the right way.
After that we saw hacks that leaked all customer information like we saw in ledger case multiple times, and they also have server that tracks your transactions and used IP addresses.
It should be mentioned that closed source hardware wallet with secure elements can have exploits and backdoors that may never be reported because of the signed NDA.

I never heard about this Entheca hardware wallet and trust me I am following this topic very well, so I would never say that this wallet is reliable or proven best protection.
I don't know anyone who owns this wallet and I could not find any information about price or how to buy it on that website, but it looks like some early crowdfunding indiegogo concept project with private sale.

They were so good that they were immediately working on their project the same year the Bitcoin whitepaper was announced. Seems totally legit to me! /s

Another scammer silliness. Even the bitcoin network was first launched in January 2009. Don't know what research and development was doing at that time (in December 2008). And yes, the conceptual stage of 2017 regarding "Choosing between tones of different colors and shapes" is one of the important stages that must be headlined in WP because it took almost 1 year.

That's a red light when they claim to have been working since that time because there wasn't any hardware wallet invented by that time yet.

People should be careful nowadays because when cryptocurrency is all trend in social media, you will see such people claiming to be legit services or investment platforms which are most likely scams.

It smells like a scam to me.

They claim to have been working on this since 2008 (wtf?), yet the websites are new, anonymous, and lack any real content.

I only see this as a means to advertise your wallet (entheca), I check online about the wallet review, I noticed almost nothing reviewed about the wallet, this means people are not using it, and it will be very difficult to ask people question about what they know nothing about, it is better to go for highly known and reputed hardware wallet. You also do not even describe anything about the wallet, although I will prefer to go for reputed ones and yours (entheca) has no review yet.

Know that hardware wallet is very safe to use, it is one of the safest wallet, but that does not mean it is 100% safe for people that do not concern about online security and privacy, because there are still malware that can change the recipient address to hackers address when about to send Bitcoin or other crypto on any wallet, but it is we that needs to give our wallet 100% safety.

It is better to use pseudonymity, and only for people that are conscious about it. There are online wallets that can provide pseudonymity, and there are online wallets like Wasabi that CoinJoin for privacy reasons. Using hardware wallet for pseudonymity is possible, but also possible on online wallets. I think you can just only comment about how safe hardware wallets are and how they store private key offline rather than pseudonymity.

How is it reliable when people are not using it, please provide good reason why it is even reliable at all. To me, as I did not find much about it online, I do not think this wallet is reliable.

I don't get you on this. How is the hardware wallet design related to the speed of the transaction? How fast your transactions are added to the next block depends entirely on the fees you use.

I never heard of this wallet. Is this open source like Trezor? I don't think it is and I doubt if you know the difference.

I checked the site and I see "join private sale" hehe.

How can a hardware wallet provide you complete anonymity? And for what crypto? Let's pin down what a hardware wallet does. It connects you with some nodes of the x network and they return you your balance. They know your IP and you're fully tracked for every transaction you make. It is also known that you own a hardware wallet. (from the company)

Do you call this anonymous? Nope. Theoretically, you could setup your own node and use it for broadcasting transactions through Tor, but even that doesn't provide 100% anonymity.

Since you bothered to advertise entheca, would you mind describing us how they can prove you were hacked for real and you didn't do it intentionally?

Hardware crypto wallets can guarantee you not only complete anonymity, which is also very important for me. But they also guarantee you 100% protection against hacking and theft of your data and your cryptocurrency. It is especially convenient to use this type of wallets for those who are constantly on the move or traveling. Its mobility and compactness ensure the speed of transactions. You can manage your digital assets anywhere and anytime you want. The most reliable and proven cold crypto wallet is Entheca https://entheca.com/ . I believe this is the best protection and control for your digital coins.
