You say "Never expose your private keys to your digital devices that are connected to the internet" - when I set up a new Tangem wallet and want to use the seedphrase option - am I not doing exactely that (since the physical wallet does not have a display). Because my seedphrase will be shown in the Tangem app, right?
so basically tangem is hot wallet not cold, the only thing is stored in cold place (on card) is the private key which is not in case of other cold wallets like leger? or I'm missing something?
No accessible seed phrase is tamgem’s preferred method but customer feedback led them to create the option. You can then basically order unlimited sets of cards and tie them to your seed phrase.
Cant wait for the Q1 Bitcoin sale!! Deep discounts on Bitcoin guaranteed incoming SOON, before the end of Q1 2024. Wait until Bitcoin drops under $35K then push every available dollar into Bitcoin and HODL strong a minimum of 5 years before selling it. If we all refuse to sell (solidarity!! 👊) due to scarcity, the institutional investors and hedge funds will be forced to drive prices even higher in their effort to buy more.
Question, If i configure my tangem WITHOUT seedphrase, then there wont be any possibility for me to export out to any other hard wallet in the future? So to be safe, it is better to have seedphrase i suppose? TQ!
Indeed. Years ago there was a Ledger hack that didn't compromise the wallet itself, but the hackers were able to get a list of all ledger users. I have been getting phishing and all kinds of other emails from various sources trying to scam me. Extremely annoying and possibly devastating. Ledger, for that reason alone, is just not secure, and it appears they are playing ball with the banking cartels.
@@MyTube4Utoo True, and now I've been getting spam and Phishing mail daily. It's a major hassle, that should never have been an issue for customers. Inexcusable.
Hi Mikita. You mentioned that a person can reset your access code if they find two of your backup cards - so you suggested keeping the two backup cards in separate places. Why is this possible? What about if they have your primary card and only one of your backup cards? Is the vulnerability the same in this case?
Can you make a video of the two set of three cards. I’m not completely certain of your explanation. Would you I put my ledger seed phrase in all 6 cards? What if I’m using my 25th word seed phrase on ledger?
Thanks for all these question -> answer pairs :) I have a question. If each card is a backup, how do they know what is my account filled with? Example: I just transferred new tokens to my account. I lost the phone, then installed app again, restored account. Now, does it matter which backup cards I used to recover? how these cards know what was inside my wallet if I did not use them to authorise last transactions? I'm a newbie, Thanks!
Can you do a video on UTXO management with Tangem? Can Tangem generate different wallet addresses? I'm a new guy to crypto, and Tangem is my first cold storage solution. I've got it setup and sent my first transactions to it, just want to make sure I don't screw myself somehow with UTXO's, but I'm not entirely sure how to manage them yet in Tangem. Sparrow has a nice desktop UI that lets you "select all" and send them to yourself to create 1 UTXO, as well as generating new addresses for each time you receive crypto to it. But I can't figure any of that out on Tangem yet.
Very nice explanation :-) May I ask you how you buy crypto? Do you swap inside Tangem, or do you transfer let's say USDT to an exchange and then buy from there?
only problem of this wallet is to loose all 3 cards or someone to find all 3 cards.The rest i dont see its any isue?some people think that card could stop working and you loose backup in this case,But did in any case that card just stopped working,as far as i know they are extremly durable.
Yup, but if you loose you seed phrase - you also loose everything. And here you have 3 chances. It’s durable and feels like really high quality plastic, I think there is a very small chance that 3 cards will stop working at the same time.
Hi anyone experience issues when buying tangem in usa? I tried with card but it declined... Not sure if I nee vpn or since they're based in swiss I had success with trezor no problems. Would sending crypto instead sold this or no? Thanks
Same. If you loose 3 cards, I doubt you could keep a seed phrase safe. I don’t have to worry about forgetting or getting hacked. I initially was gonna use a seed phrase. But glad I just stuck with the default.
@@Food4thought1234 Does this mean that tangem without the seed phrase will never be at risk of hacking? Is the risk much lower than a ledger with the seed even if it has the passphrase?
@@albertocoutinho5703 correct.. there is no hacking since you actually need one of the cards. Unless they have 2 of your cards. You can reset the password if they somehow get 2 of your cards. . But you can turn that feature off. So even if they do get 2 of your cards they can’t do anything without the passcode,thumbprint,or Face ID. Just always keep one super safe that only you know where it’s located.
When you mentioned about the backup cards can be used to reset and get access to our funds. Could you elaborate more about it, so we can prevent it. By the way, thank you for the video, out there are tons of video of tangem, but no one has this such amazing information
You forgot to mention the outrageous fees transferring to and from exchanges. If you are fortunate enough to have one, try transferring 1BTC to and from your wallet. Now how much did that just cost you? Even worse, the fees incurred are NOT tax deductible in Australia. Such are the costs of security…..
What if your phone broke? can you install Tangem app and still use your old cards and still have access to your crypto? Or is it only on the phone originally installed?
Makes sense, but I’d rather to apply that rule to ‘hot wallets’ like MetaMask or Trust Wallet. Tangem is a hardware wallet; I think 10-20k is okay here. However, everyone decides for themselves.
@@Mikita101 in the terms of service (5.5) Tangem states a single card shall never store a value of more than EUR 2000.00. If I store 10,000 - 20,000 wouldn't I be violating the terms of service?
@@SaiRam-tp3pz Thats not my point, what I was saying if thief resets the card to factory settings ( creates new wallet ) will other two cards reset as well ?
You don’t pay any fees specifically to Tangem. The only fees you incur during transactions are the blockchain transaction fees, which depend on the blockchain you use. ETH = expensive Tron / Solana / Cosmos / Near / … = cheap
I think, you are talking about swap fees, if found that 0,35% goes to Tangem. But you don’t have to use in-app swap/buy/sell features. For example I almost always do all transactions on an exchange without any fees
@@Mikita101 yeah I think your right. I was playing around with the wallet. This was during the time of the high fees. So I was trying to figure out why I was getting different prices with this wallet. Is that normal practice for most wallets? This is my fist one. So I wasn’t sure. Thanks for the response.
It depends. I think Tangem is a no-brainer for beginners. However, it’s also good to have a second wallet that only stores crypto and doesn’t interact with any smart contracts.
This all looks ridiculously complicated. Think I’ll just leave my crypto on an exchange. Probably less risk than using a wallet made in China anyway. And the risk of making a mistake during this ridiculous process and losing all your crypto that way. But, thanks for the video.
Can Tangem only be used with a phone? If so, its a red flag, the biggest one you could ever find anywhere. Using any shitty smartphone with stuff running in the background doing all fancy stuff you cannot imagine because of the operating systems incredible intransparancy and the fact that this crap device is connected wireless to any kind of sh** is an absolute no go. AND you are automatically KYCed to anything when using a phone ... so... nope.
Now it can only be used with a smartphone, but - it’s not connected to the smartphone. Basically your card is a digital signature, and no matter via which device you are using you crypto - it can only be moved, if you tap you digital signature to the whatever device you’re using. It will be hard to KYC you this way. Easier will be to find out your address and sanction it somehow
I don't see how a laptop or desktop would be safer. You _could_ buy an inexpensive Android phone with no SIM card, use WiFi to only download the Tangem app on it and keep it turned off the rest of the time. Shouldn't cost more than a couple of metal backups for seed words.

Tangem has sold over 1.000,000 units and has zero hacks.

Can you use the seed phrase option without a network?
Ledger had too many "oopsies" for it to be trusted
With more than five million customers.......
so basically tangem is hot wallet not cold, the only thing is stored in cold place (on card) is the private key which is not in case of other cold wallets like leger? or I'm missing something?

Good info, thanks! I was looking to get those Tangem cards, and watching your video was a perfect timing. Going to use your referral code as well ;)
I would rather use an old phone without connection and only use it as hardware wallet than paying for a ledger.
And then the phone one day decides to sleep for eternity?

I chose not to create a seed phrase, due to the fact that tangem only offer 12 words and it is not possible to create a passphrase
Use a bip39 random generator and get a 24 word phrase. Then use the import option in tangem setup. You now have a 24 word seed phrase on tangem.
