Dev at ethOS, a mobile OS that is crypto native- nf.td/markus, Technology brother

isn’t this basically fireblocks-for-retail?

tbh i don’t get the backlash… not like they made it opt-out

DePIN is an inevitable global movement.

No. With this feature they confirmed that they (Ledger Company) can push firmware updates that mess with the seed phrase. This should not be possible under any circumstance

Hmm, I think if you want that level of control don’t use a hardware wallet built by someone else?

Order of magnitude more cases of people losing phrases

If you're buying a "hardware" wallet, the assumption is already that the manufacturer and hackers cannot extract the seed phrase.
And "Just DIY it" is something you can tell someone with years of computer science/cybersecurity experience, but not the average crypto user.

I'd be willing to debate you @dwr.eth on this, even on unlonely if you like

Because if they don't have that kind of experience, it is inevitable that they fuck up

Losing your seed phrase being more common is your opinion. Fact is, nation states and companies should not be able to do this. My take is that the average user still deserves maximum security.

Right, what I’m saying is the avg crypto user is an order of magnitude more likely to lose the phrase than be hacked / nation state compelling Ledger to back door. 

If you want maximum security, don’t use a company.
