Obligatory $5 wrench xkcd: https://xkcd.com/538/

Still, physically threatening/kidnapping somebody is an entirely different threat model, although it's very common in the Bitcoin world: https://github.com/jlopp/physical-bitcoin-attacks

This isn't only a comedy topic, there is a list on Github with all known physical Bitcoin attacks.

This one can be added to the list of known crypto attacks. It will be #188.

We don't have the answer, but can share the concern. jlopp/physical-bitcoin-attacks holds a list of such "$5 wrench attacks" where people torture others in hopes of stealing their crypto.

There have only 130 wrench attacks reported in the history of Bitcoin.

You act like this doesn't already happen to people: https://github.com/jlopp/physical-bitcoin-attacks

Prob talked about it unfortunately. She knew enough to go looking for the hardware wallet + seed. Everything else she took was just extras. Physical altercations almost always involve prior knowledge of the victim's possessions..

To accept Bitcoin payments, simply install Breez Wallet into a phone. It has an incredible POS, works with on-chain as well as r/thelightningnetwork.

1) Install Breez https://breez.technology

That comment is incorrect too from a few angles. Both Breez and Phoenix's code is entirely verifiable on their GitHubs (Pheonix Breez). If you're truly concerned about them changing the code in an update you can verify and build the app yourself locally and install it on your phone.

Try Phoenix Wallet (my favorite), Breez, Muun.
