I would choose Case https://choosecase.com/ biometrically secured multi-signature bitcoin transactions is always a better choice Grin

It's expensive though .; (as I said when I have huge amounts)

Biometrics and Bitcoin is one of those things that seems like a good idea at first but isn't really. Fingerprints can be hacked in a variety of ways, and GSM tech too, which is what that wallet uses.

Looks good though.

i think they can be improved greatly, especially biometric with eye scan the same as bitcoin, which need further fixes to be really "effective"

if you want to compare key with eye scan and bitcoin with fiat i will choose the former for sure, ancient tech are bound to die eventually it's only a matter of time

Exactly this. It looks great and fancy, like something that can impress your friend. But these fancy add-ons are something that gives bad guys ways to compromise your device.

That's why I like Trezor, it's minimalistic. It has exactly the necessary and not a thing more to be secure and get the job done.

Case look interesting for day to day, outside uses where you can get your card out and impress everybody like I said already, but I wouldn't trust it with instead of Trezor with big amounts of coins.

A Trezor gives you more utility to use Bitcoin and it's better to use it for daily stuff, where the paper wallet is a long term solution to keep your Bitcoin safe, without using any devices. The idea of storing a piece of paper

in a safe, where you can send Bitcoins, without having to have online access to it, is just exellent. However, once you need to access it, you have more hassles to sweep it onto a online wallet and then using it.

Once the private key has been used online, it is generaly considered to be compromised and can be thrown away after it was emptied. Sad

I used to have a couple of paper wallets before. Since getting my Trezor I have done away with them.

All my btc and ltc is now stored on the Trezor in various wallets and accounts.

Personally I think that Paper wallets are the cheapest way to store bitcoins so if you have big and I mean really big you should go wi th Hardware wallets but Trezor won't be my first choice , I would choose Case https://choosecase.com/ biometrically secured multi-signature bitcoin transactions is always a better choice Grin

I have just read this morning a thread about safely printing paper wallets. It came to my mind how come nobody mentions Trezor as an alternative.

So, how do you see the security of Trezor compared to the paper wallets?

Let's put aside for now a fact that it costs about 0.5 BTC to get one. That's not in my interest to discuss about, I would like to hear only about the security.

Ledger Hw.1 is also a good low priced hardware wallet with good security, if you can't spend .5 BTC then go for Hw.1. You can get one for 0.075BTC or 15.00 €. I have bought one for myself. Cheesy

I believe the security and the fliexibility to use a Trezor wallet is more than using a paper wallet, but it isn't much better than just using a paper wallet and for that reason , I still prefer using a paper wallet over a trezor wallet.
