BEST : Pixel with GrapheneOS Second best : Fairphone 4 or SHIFT 6mq with CalyxOS Third best : /e/OS or iodéOS or SimpleOS

If you can live without Google Mobile Services or microG Divest OS comes in second position when locked bootloader is supported and third when it’s not supported

I block all ads, I rather tips some moneroj or sats to creators, buy some merch, etc. From my point of view giving 5$ to a creator will be more profitable for him/her than watching a hell lot of ads

Paper wallet (actually stainlesssteel wallet) because :

I don’t want my Monero private key to be stored on proprietary software aka Ledger I don’t feel confident trusting Trezor because their CoinJoin implementation and the Blockchain Analyst partner of Wasabi (providing the CJ), also expensive honestly MoneroSeedSigner is interesting but it is a signer device and does not store the key, also vulnerable to some attacks that I don’t feel confident personally. Kastello looks dead or gowing nowhere, please correct me if I’m wrong The Monero Passport fork is promising, a bit expensive but will see how it evolves

I wantto setup an encrypted microSD card backup for my seed. But I need to take the time to do that correctly.

I like Fairphone’s mission but kinda feel meh about their execution. Don’t get me wrong they probably do better than everyone else. But releasing a phone per year isn’t great for the environment. Removing the headphone jack wasn’t for ecological reasons. Making tiny earbuds isn’t in hand with easy reparability. And you can’t upgrade anything !

I wish they will slow the pace for a release every 2 years with better upgradability. I also wish they would work with GrapheneOS so the hardware and firmware are secure enough for the Graphene team to work on that device.

But nice that the brand is still alive. I hope they won’t go too much into green washing.

Oh I was pretty sure the FP4 was released in 2022 as I got a 5 years warranty that will end up in 2027.
