this is the main shortcoming of these wallets IMO can only back them up to another card and if they stop operating their web app the thing is effectively bricked

Which is why you only keep as much cash as you're willing to lose in them, just like the wallet in your pocket

@alexgrover definitely an explicit choice on our end to do this for two reasons: mitigate all sorts of attacks and reinforce to normies that you should treat it similar to cash. Worth noting that the web app will be fully open source and our SDK is today. You can sign tx’s on a fully offline machine with NFC reader and then broadcast elsewhere. imo best way to use Burner (or really any hw wallet) with a lot of funds is a multisig.

totally get the approach. I do just feel like the likelihood that I lose the card and/or the web app stops being supported years from now is nonzero, and those situations are difficult/impossible to recover from. I only bought 1 card because I wasn’t aware of how they worked when ordering which is part of that fear most likely
