I have officially made my primary mobile BTC (on chain) setup the Nunchuk + 2 Tapsigners that I've been playing around with for the past few weeks. I fucking love it, and even though I've always loved the Coldcard/Keystone/Jade combo with mobile wallets, none of them have matched the ease of using the Tapsigner, which doesn't even account for the fact that all those others I have to carry around a separate device, while I can keep my Tapsigner right in the wallet I already carry around.
Can't believe I haven't been doing this for longer. #[0]

No BIP39 it’s a BIP32 PK, and needs to be gen in the device. But you pick the chain code that is added to the entropy.
The seed is derived on the card from a passphrase. So the data that comes with the card is more about what is needed to generate a seed, and you provide the entropy. It just means you have 2 different pieces of info to backup instead of one to regenerate it again later in the case of losing a card.
I really need to try this setup. I've used Nunchuk for multi-sig before with different devices. Is it the same type of setup, but with NFC cards?
What do you mean?
If only I were that smart.
Can we get a instruction set for others. We cant all be gods lower g.
Your tip button 😂
Rugged again. 😭
yis pls
Stop living in 1955 nobody carrys wallets anymore. Get with the times GUY
I have 2 tapsigners on the way, which will leave one trusted device. I'm a paranoid who won't put any bitcoin behind a device I haven't been through the recovery process for. That means I'll have to lose trust of one private key then use the other.

I switched it to my Alby address to see if it works. Yo #[2] have you checked on ln.tips recently? It gave me an error too
I used a combo so that even if i lose one of the cards, the other plus the device key is all I need to recover it. So neither card is a single point of failure, and neither is my phone.

Works
This is a compelling argument. Must acquire.
Hell yizzle epic set up aye🤙🏽🔥🤙🏽
The nunchuck como is electric and easy use for travel…..🤙🏽⚡️⚡️🤙🏽
So app is 1 key?
If you lose your phone and wallet at the same time you lose your 🌽?
So basically a two of three mobile multisig?
This sounds glorious.
No actually. I do have one with that setup, but i have an external backup of the mobile wallet key either way. This is actually a 1/2 with just the tapsigners right now. So i only need to not lose both tapsigners at the same time, & i did this specifically to have one in the safe at home, and one for traveling.
But i do have my mobile key as my account key, so without that and my password, even stealing my phone and tapsigner makes it highly unlikely they can get my coins.
Actually the one im currently on is just a 1/2, but using my mobile key as my account key for access. So the mobile key is a barrier if anyone gets my phone, but its not attached to the bitcoin.
Im still experimenting with trade offs, but just really loving the Tapsigner as the prinary signing device with day to day use. Probably a 2/3 is the best all around for security and ease of use.
🤔 this is quite clever, I like the minimalist simplicity while also having some security and redundancy 👍
One more question, what do you mean by “…But i do have my mobile key as my account key”? Do you mean just adding a PIN code to the app launch?
