I hear a lot of people saying this, however I've torture tested zinc plated steel to the point where they glow red from the sustained heat, and after they cool, still easily ledgible. I'd say, having stamped seed phrases on ANY metal medium is better than not having any or having paper based backups. Your odds of house burning down are low, but the odds of having your house burnt down by an industrial furnace are less ;)

Great job. You can save some stamping time by only using the first 4 letters of each word. The BIP 39 list of 2048 words were chosen in that the first 4 letters are unique.

8:11 that's a bad advice. don't split your one and only copy of the seed phrase. Just use a passphrase on top of the seed phrase and follow the recommendations for keep them safe and separate from the seed phrase.

Amazing, it maybe costs the same as 2 trazors/ledgers 2022, but for sure worth it. Much easier than I had imagened. But you also got the perfect tools. Even stamps with letters...did not know they existed. Great Video!
Amazing ideas. Great content. It’s a little easier though if you take an old license plate, flip it over and stamp it on the back with a $10 stamp kit from harbor freight.

I appreciate people who take their time and energy to share life saving info as this. I am so very grateful sir. This is the best thing I have learned so far this year. God bless you sir
Appreciate the detailed breakdown! 🧐 I wanted to ask something unrelated: 🤔 I have a set of words 🤷♂️. (behave today finger ski upon boy assault summer exhaust beauty stereo over). Not sure how to use them, would appreciate help. 🙏
I found a metal seed card on amazon for $6. I'm building this washer seed vault but I'm going one step farther. I'm going to use a pipe coupler and a couple of steel caps to close the washers inside with a gasket to keep it waterproof. I'm also thinking of putting an extra word or two in there so instead of 12 it will have 14 or 26. This adds a layer of security but you do need to remember which words are actually fake.
get a hardware wallet that will allow you to add a 25th word. This secures the wallet in such a way that theyll think they have your seed phrase and you can even leave a small balance on it as a decoy, but adding the 25th word creates a whole new set of addresses where you can have your real balance. The 25th word should be something youll really memorize so you dont write it down anywhere or at least dont keep it together with your 24 word seed phrase otherwise defeats the purpose
Dont use nylon nuts! The plastic will melt in a fire and slip off the bolt, and then the washers slide off. Good luck finding them in a major house fire. Use a SS lock washer then two nuts. And then stick a security hologram sticker around the bolts.
You say that if you buy a seed storage plate, that if the client database is hacked, then they know you have crypto. What do you think happens when Blockmit gets THEIR client list hacked? Same exact thing.
The only thing that doesn’t make sense to me - lots of videos and Reddit threads say to make sure to buy the hardware wallet directly from the manufacturer so you ensure you’re not getting a hacked device or something. So if you’re buying the wallet from a manufacturer, it seems you’re already in danger of having your information get out there if the manufacturer gets hacked. So whether you buy their seed phrase storage device or not, haven’t you already exposed yourself to that risk?
Hey thanks mate. Can you tell me if we can use upper or lower case letters or are they not case sensitive?? If we order these blocks we will go onto a contact list as well and make us a target in the case of hacking?
Not case sensitive. That’s a good question about ordering the jig and being on a list. I just had a neighbor print it out for me so I had not considered that.
@cryptokindness4504 Thanks for this great video! Question; what kind of material is used for the jig, do you know (as it schould not bounce or break when you hamer it)? PLA, PETG, ASA, ASB? Thanks for answering 👍
Great video but FYI if someone has half your seed phrase it's much easier to hack. It's not half as easy it's thousands of times easier if you know what you are doing. for example 128bit encryption is not 50% easier to crack compared to 256bit encryption it's WAY easier
@@cryptokindness4504 Still incredibly easy to brute force. Given equivalent entropy, a blockchain address is much more crackable than a typical web-based password as there's zero attempt caps, rate limiting, or even network throughput involved.
Ledger was hacked a while back, and i think through that my info (from ordering a nano s) was available for criminals to use. They did a SIM swap hack with my phone number, got into my email accounts, and tried (but failed) to blackmail me, demanding i send them some Bitcoin (i then asked if they would accept DOGE instead. They said they would, blind to the fact i was trolling them). So the risk of ordering things from these companies offering crypto related projects is real.
Make sure to use 24 words seed and split it in 3. A 12 words seed phrase split in 3, if someone finds a 4 words set, it will take him... 109 seconds to access the wallet ! A 18 words seed, with a 4 words set will take 3 years A 24 words seed : 3,830,854 years !!
How did you end up with 109 seconds ? ChatGPT doesn't think so. : With a 12-word seed phrase split into three sets of 4 words each, if a hacker gains access to one set of 4 words, they'd need to brute force the remaining 8 words. Using the BIP-39 standard for seed phrases, assuming the attacker knows the structure and only needs to guess the missing words, there are 2048 raised to the power of 8 possible combinations for the remaining 8 words. This is an immense number, making it virtually impossible to crack within any practical timeframe using current computational capabilities. Estimating the exact time is challenging due to the sheer magnitude of possibilities, but it would take an extremely long time, potentially millions or billions of years, depending on advancements in technology and computational power.
So I have a question: if a Ledge Nano X has three different accts for btc, eth & sol... Is it still one 24 word seed phrase? So if you were to do a seed phrase recovery one day into a diff type of device, say a trezor wallet... Will the same seed phrase once again give access to all three different cryptos/accts the ledger had?
@@cryptokindness4504 thanks for the reply mate! Since Ledger is not open-source would you say it's not as "safe" as say a Trezor? Would u at all be concerned Ledger will exploit a backdoor to 'steal' coins?
Hey, can you help me? I want transfer my usd to my account from my OKX wallet, don't understand much I have the phrase. (spare multiply aerobic hole ask toddler change embody endorse combine youth kitchen)
Please don't split your seed into multiple parts, if a hacker gains access to 1 part of your seed it is alot easier to brute force your full seed. This video will explain why seed splitting is a very bad idea; ruclips.net/video/p5nSibpfHYE/видео.html. If you want to split up your seed, you should use Shamir backups instead. The Trezor model T supports this backup method.
Also the house break in and just lose half your keys is a bad advice. If they find half your keys, they will use the 5 dollar wrench unlocking method on you, but you don't have anything to give them.

Wtf am I doing wrong that it takes several, like 6 or 7 wacks with a 3 pound hammer and I still get crappy impressions.
Do you have something solid under the washer? Doesn’t work well on wood or carpet.
have you figured it out`?
I have the same problem :D
Could be that the punch is dull or also that the washers are actual steel rather than stainless steel. Stainless steel is a softer metal.

Thank you. That seems to happen often which is why I also write out the sizes next to the links.
Are there any good 3D printers recommended for this jig or anything general purpose?
The only thing better than a good 3-D printer is a friend that owns a good 3-D printer. My neighbor printed them for me so I cannot comment on this.
