Coldcard & Node Setup

It's time to take your bitcoin privacy and security to the next level. In this guide we'll build on our previous basic desktop setup. If you originally chose a mobile setup, I recommend installing Sparrow Desktop wallet via the basic desktop guides (available for Linux, macOS, and Windows) before continuing.

We'll start by setting up a Coldcard signing device and connecting it to Sparrow. In part two we'll choose a Bitcoin node implementation and connect our wallet to it.
