Lol, don't go jinxing yourself now man. It's true that hardware wallets are one of the safest ways to store your coins, and you're definitely safer now than you were ever before, but it would be dangerous to assume you can't be stolen from. Overconfidence can cause certain lapses, and those lapses could lead to your coins being stolen.

Hardware wallets could also have certain vulnerabilities, of which there are recent examples, like here: https://cointelegraph.com/news/are-hardware-wallets-really-safe.

It's highly unlikely you're going to get victimized by anything at this point, as hardware wallets are still ridiculously hard, if not impossible to exploit remotely, but it would still be a good idea to be as careful as you were before. Good luck!

Oh, Yes, I am being careful. No doubt about that.

Its called a stick. its one of the most sophisticated hacking tools available on the market right now Wink

you see, someone can come to your house with a stick, and beat your ass with said stick until you hand over the funds. To hell with a virus.

but seriously, you can have your coins stolen by life. you can lose it, it can get broken and you lose the seed, someone else can discover the seed. you arent bulletproof just because you have a hardware wallet. you are very well protected, however, if you follow proper procedure and hygiene.

Believe me when I tell you that no one will come to my house with a stick and beat my ass. That would be a big mistake on their part.

How come did you experience being hacked in the past, you have your own personal computer that has been breached? can you please share what happen and how did it happen. Because It is being a year now since I used my hardware wallet and good thing I never experience any hack or loss maybe you have less security precautions in securing your very own computer.

In case you skipped what he wrote. Let me help out. He didn't say his hardware was hacked. He merely got a hardware wallet and is over the moon for that as hr believes safety us assured him.

Dude, don't be too sure that your coins are beyond reach and forever safe. Shit happens and nothing in life is total guarantee. Even those who make these wares have a way of also making virus to attack these wares so they can also sell anti-virus wares. These things are just messed up.

you can use paper wallet too. It's simpler and more safe. I mean a paper can survive more time in a safe.

Lol. Was i really the only one who thought the op was gonna give a big contest for thieves and techy people with some big big prices? Something like try to hack into anything i own to find my seed and get the contents of my wallet which is worth, i don't know, like a hundred btc or more as your prize. Lol

But seriously though, that's a pretty nice move you did there -Buying a hardware wallet. Which is great for adding security.
The thing is, nothing's for sure in life. So i think you should've just kept your mouth shut about that. You might offend an ego of a hacker and lose your possesions. Having a hard wallet does not guve you invulnerability from hackers.

i think as long as you can save the hardware wallet then you are fine and don't thinking too much about the thief because i am sure the thief can act like a smart person. with saving in the safe place, you don't have to worried about bad things that will come. so from now on, you'd better don't talk to other person that you have hardware wallet with full security because this will attract someone to test the security.

Don't be so confident about having hardware wallets, and conclude that your bitcoin can't be steal anymore, because you are wrong. You never knew who is going to rob at your place, what if the person who are going to rob you is someone who knows about cryptocurrency and just find the hardware wallet of yours that you were saying and didn't steal your fiat buy did steal your bitcoin wallet.

And you don't have to boast here that you have a hardware and said rude things like that, maybe you have been experienced losing your bitcoin, that is why you have said such thing. Grin

Its such a pain in the butt the lengths we have to go to secure our fortunes Sad

I'm thinking I'm going to need to get one of those safety deposit boxes soon and store a backup of my hardrives and everything in there - or rent a storage locker to hide all my stuff in...

Good luck with your wallet. And keep that seed and passphrase safe bro!

What are you talking about? Huh

? If a thief, or somehow, someway, I become separated from the hardware wallet, I could just use my seed plus my passphrase to recover the wallet....

A bitcoin thief is not always a tech savvy person. Some of them are using Social Engineering techniques to hack someonw. If you think you are safe enough because you have a secure hardware module then you are wrong. If you really want to protect your Bitcoin, Be secure in every areas of your life including social relationships and direct contact with somebody.

Don't be cocky dude, thieves will always find a spot and get into the houses and even your wallet. If you show something like you have money and have the best security system, then it becomes clue to them and they will find blind spot on your system. Moreover, your words seem to challenge them to fight.
So keep it low and don't challenge them.

In my opinion, it is very safe to store a hardware wallet. You just need to do two things, the first is to put the hardware wallet where you think is safe, and the second is to remember the private key of the bitcoin wallet. Thieves and hackers are going to lose their jobs.

Congrats on a smart choice getting a hardware wallet. They are most secure. Just have to double up, in case of failure, and then store them in separate locations.

Better hope a real thief doesn't come in and steal that physical wallet,
because regardless of whether he could access the bitcoins on it,
you'll be shit out of luck. And pray for no fires, floods, or nuclear
warfare...lol, just kidding. I'm thinking about getting some sort of
physical wallet, too, one of these days. How much did you pay for it?

I paid around $200.00 usd for it.

but they allways can broke to your house and steal hardware wallet : ).
You need to be warry about many things. Hackers can swap you firmaware on hardware wallet and stuff like that.
I think there is allwya way to broke in but we don't know those hacks.
We will now them later so don't be so cocky and try be humble.

Wrong again PAL.

If the firmware is tampered with, the wallet will warn you. And I can manually check the signatures myself.
