If a safe is fire proof already, it should be a document safe. Still, most safes are only fire-resistant for a couple of hours maximum.@@TheShockwave44

instead of writing the same number for each word add +1 so if you word is #3001, write it down as #3002 for each word. So when you need a seedphrase you will know that the number is 3002-1=3001. But the person who stole or found a plate wouldn't be able to guess and will think that the seed phrase is wrong. I don't know why no one explain this extra feature, it's easy to remember
Also, it doesn't make sense to burn the conversion sheet if it's a fixed value known on the internet. There's no cipher to it. If you created a cipher, and the cipher was on the sheet, it makes sense.
That's the power of Grade 2 titanium, you can look it up. This specific titanium can bend but doesn't break easily. It's weird but it works. Did you see the bulletproof videos?
Lol all these comments saying "what if it's stolen?" really don't understand the meaning of self-custody. The appeal of decentralized assets is that YOU are solely responsible for the security of your assets and you're not beholden to the security risks of a centralized data store. Of someone steals your gold bars you buried in the backyard, you have no one to blame but yourself. But if someone steals your fiat currency from a bank, you lost assets due to the bank's negligence (and possibly your own).
People fail to understand what Cryptotag is and what it aims to accomplish. And it fascinates me. "What if you lose it?" "What if someone finds it?" "What if it gets stolen?" You stand to lose your crypto, that's what. Now riddle me this - how is your own inattentiveness the metal slab's fault? Cryptotag is a more durable and more secure physical storage method compared to a piece of paper. Nothing more than that. It doesn't become invisible or intangible, and it also doesn't teleport to a pocket universe if it detects an unknown person in the room. It's just a slab of metal, and just like paper, it can be stolen. Or found by someone who shouldn't find it.
Thank you. We do indeed not promise your crypto cannot be lost anymore. Or that your crypto is safe from whatever. A cryptotag eliminates the common reasons why people lose their seed phrase. Thank you for the kind words.
It's not decoding though. The BIP39 wordlist with numbers is publicly available on the internet. Storing the numbers was never used as a decoding method. A paper just makes it easier to find the correlating numbers/ words.
If someone were to steal the cryptotag; wouldn't all they would need is to get ahold of the conversion booklet and they would have the 12 or 24 word recovery?
Wouldn't it be better to make these from some kind of tough silicone/ plastic so one can bury it without a possibility of a metal detector finding it? I mean - just as most ppl below - I see little point of having it in this form when every one can decipher it freely... Just a thought.
For that use case, maybe. But the biggest risk is a house fire. In that case, plastic or silicon will be a bad choice. Titanium is a great material to combat house fires.
So you need to write the words down anyway and decipher what words match up with the numbers? Why not just keep the paper since you need both pieces to find out the word? Seems like it’s twice the work
Great question. You don't need the paper later on as your words come from the official open-source and industry-standard BIP39 wordlist. The numbers are also in there. So if you ever need to recover your wallet, just use the booklet or any other copy of it on the internet. Do a quick search for: "BIP39 wordlist" and you'll see ;)
@@AE-nm8kx Be careful when splitting the plates. It increases the risk of losing a part. Your best bet would be to add a Passphrase to your wallet. This way, your Cryptotag is useless without the extra layer!
hahaha very risky, how do you make sure you don't forget them? do you practice every day? have you tried to restore them lately? maybe you remember them wrongly.
It is combination of 24 out of 2048 words without repetition. So if my counting is not bad you going to get4.173112217441×105 combinations that's 41731122174410236047796743722730466018640279171473593600. So wish you best pf luck to try hit right one.
I thought of that too and although 24 words is super secure , some cold wallets support a 24+1, a 25th word. This one you keep in your head and is not part of the 2048 BIP39 list. 😅
Grab a calculator, and then do this: 2048^24 That's how many possible combinations there are if you were trying to guess the word combinations. So the chance of guessing someone else's seed phrase? Practically impossible, if not mathematically. Let's say you had the 24 words but in the wrong order. Easy to figure out, right? Well, 24^24 combinations...
@@thehandleiwantedwasntavailable Yes in math is cold combination without repetition where words could be same but order is important as well. Also tou need to know which company he using Trezor ledger etc cause can have 25th word etc. Its impossible
It's hacker-proof in terms of digitally hacking. It's literally a physical product. If a thief (which is the right word) finds it, they would be able to decode it. But a Cryptotag should never be kept in plain sight. You can also add an extra password. So the 12 or 24 words are useless until you have the extra password.
Sure, totally understand. That's why we also have a product called Thor that uses letter imprints for the engraving method! With that product, you store the letters of the seed words.
Sounds like a terrible idea? I think I'll just find two bits of metal and get one engraved with 12 words and the other engraved by someone else with the next 12 words. Then I can give half to my daughter and I'll keep the other half...
@@xavierbourguignon37220 Everyone has their methods. Make sure to imprint the seed deep enough in your plate. A drimble wont't work. Also, get a strong plate. You do not want it to break. Cryptotags are bulletproof. And never split your seed phrase. You can't afford risking to lose one of the parts.
The book with the words is online, and in the same order. This item will not protect you against theft if the person stealing it knows about crypto. This item is for having your keys in physical, offline form, protected from the elements.
This is not 100% safe, It is better to create your own coded sheet where you can do something different. For example one of your words on your list could be show as "TREVENO". This simple code contains the word and the number of the word in between 1 to 24. Can anyone guess what is the word and what number is?
It's to protect it from the elements like fire. It's not to fully protect from theft. You still have to protect like u do when writing down your 24 word. It's basically making your passwords fireproof
If your daughter or son inherits the Cryptotag, that is a pro. But the Cryptotag is used to store the seed phrase safely. A piece of paper won't stand the time
@@javelinchyk Be careful with this method. If you are the only person knowing this, and your daughter or son has to start decoding the numbers and trying all these methods, the risk of loss if big.
The BIP39 wordlist is open-source and can be found anywhere on the internet, starting on GitHub. Go ahead and search: "BIP39 Wordlist" and you will find numerous websites that have the words and numbers! ;)

@@ClifffSVK Exactly. So it does make perfect sense to burn the seed phrase paper and the conversion sheet.
You can just iterate all variants. It's not hard so +1 or + 1 any static number dos'nt help with security.

Correct. We advise adding a Passphrase/ 25th word. But a titanium plate is always a better storage method than a piece of paper
Too complicated. Too much room for humam error eg. punching in or writing the wrong number.
We've got you covered once that happens. Also, the included booklet, word list and tools will make it easy to not make mistakes.
