Maybe you don't even have to if you don't plan to do a multisig wallet. I mean if you maintain a clean setup with your tails OS and your key management this is a quite solid setup.

A hhw could be more comfortable but I doubt it being more secure.

well... a HWW is really only for spending/sending sats somewhere. it makes the signature for your TX, then you broadcast that into the mempools.

If you're not spending sats, then you probably don't need a HWW.

in terms of custody... the HWW can help you create a new set of addresses and keys, if you feel somehow that the ones you have aren't good enough. but you'll never use the HWW for receiving.

in terms of novelty, it's pretty cool to have one. and if you just want to try one out... see if you can find a used one at your most-local bitcoin meetup, and then create new keys on it... then send 10k sats to yourself and go around trying to spend sats with a HWW... (the joke here, it's not any better).

if you're getting a used HWW, for experimentation only, then you don't need to worry about it being pwnt. and you can just have a little fun with it.

I think getting a HW is a road new Bitcoiners need to go down, when their knowledge grows, they may decide that they are a gimmick and there are better alternatives, as stackers have mentioned, along with Darth regularly recommending TailsOS set up

There's a lot of manufacturer propaganda about needing hardware wallets. But I think there's some significant attack vectors with them.

I'd say that you're more likely to have a problem when the entire customer database of your hardware wallet manufacturer gets hacked and put up for sale. Like Ledger has, for instance.

Compared to that, a knowledgeable person with your electrum/TailsOS setup is likely better off.

That sounds like a good setup. Do you really need a hardware wallet? Is it to make signing more convenient?
