1/ Every time I post "get a hardware wallet", 10 people reply "but this does not protect you from signing approvals to scam sites"

This is of course true but a completely separate topic

The purpose of a HW is to protect you from malicious software on your PC, not from yourself

2/ To protect yourself from yourself, you should either:

a) not go around signing transactions on unknown sites that you found in Discord

or

b) if you really must, do it from a burner address without a lot of NFTs in it

3/ But how do I mint my Mutant Apes (or whatever) w a mintpass

Move your mintpass (NFT) to an address without anything else in there and mint from there

That way, you can, at most, lost that NFT

The major projects have never rugged, just make sure you are on the right site

4/ Example: @QuantumNFT requires a Quantum NFT sometimes as a mint pass.

So I keep 1 Quantum NFT on a hardware wallet so I can mint and the rest are safely in the gnosis multi-sig

Even if Quantum gets compromised, at worst I will lose that one NFT, not all my quantum pieces

5/ What about snapshots?
Snapshots are a bad security practice and should be discouraged. I have never risked the 6529 Museum wallet for a snapshot; would rather miss the snapshot

Projects should either: airdrop or mintpass so you don't have to connect your archival wallet
