JADE Plus Tutorial: Secure Your Bitcoin with Sparrow Wallet (Step by Step)

In this tutorial, I’ll show you how to use the ‪@Blockstream‬ Jade Plus hardware wallet with Sparrow Wallet, without relying on the manufacturer’s official software. This is key for anyone who values privacy, security, and true Bitcoin self-custody.

We’ll cover step by step:
✅ How to set up your Jade Plus
✅ Generate and back up your recovery seed
✅ Add a secure PIN
✅ Connect Jade Plus to Sparrow Wallet (ideally with your own Bitcoin node)
✅ Do an “empty recovery test”
✅ Practice on #bitcoin testnet by sending and receiving sats

By avoiding official apps, you reduce exposure of sensitive data like your IP address, wallet balance, and transaction history. Remember: nobody else should know how many sats you own!

🔒 Take control of your Bitcoin, stay private, and learn how to use one of the best hardware wallets available today.
