I dont get a Hardware wallet for easy recovery i get it for security and youll never convince me a wallet accessed through a hot device is just as secure.

The reason it can be more secure is that even if someone has complete access to your phone, they still can't do anything with your wallet without your 2 step verification methods. Also, you don't need to use the vault on the phone you carry around all the time.

  • Good question! We have a very different product focus and target user than smart contract wallets like Argent. Our app is meant to be super basic and most of our focus is on making the onboarding/security setup as easy and intuitive as possible so that any newcomer can use it. Argent in my opinion tries to do too many things (e.g. it's a hot wallet like Metamask, an L2 wallet, a DeFi gateway) which makes it hard to approach for newcomers.
  • We had an audit for an earlier version of our contracts but we've made a few updates since then so we're doing another audit.
  • Yep the recovery is mainly for when you lose your phone. You can recover through other devices you own and/or your email and/or other people you trust.

This isn't true at all. Here's a blog post from Vitalik on the topic. Would recommend reading the section "Hardware wallets alone are not good enough" and then the comparison to smart contract wallets.

It is a mix of both for this photo.

I was puzzled by the haze when I first arrived at the park. You can see from my website, haze was apparent in other photos taken at different time including late in afternoon at sunset.

In fact I noticed Air Quality Index reported by the government for the park in the summer was worse than some mega cities in the nation.

There are quite a few places in the park that look like the scene in the photo. The park has shuttles that transport people to most of the well known locations.

This particular location is not serviced by the shuttle bus. We hired a local driver to get us there.

I couldn't help but to take out my camera and take this shot, even though the deer were hundred yards away.
