Date: 2023/11/08Item: Metal Wallet Crypto Seed Phrase Storage - Cipher-6 Cold Storage Crypto WalletVINE DISCLAIMER:--------------------------------In the spirit of full disclosure, I received this product free as part of the Amazon Vine program. My methodology for Vine Program products is to give a more thorough -- often product-destructive -- review. If I like the product, I buy my own version of it, otherwise, it gets donated post-testing. I also may include my opinion on the product's value proposition to the market.REVIEW:--------------------------------If you have any Crypto that you want to keep in cold storage (e.g. offline), you may be looking for a way to securely store the keys against destructive events -- fire, earthquake, water, mother-in-law -- and these serve to give you a well constructed kit that requires just a punch tool to indent.Pros:- Made in Australia- Sturdy Construction, quality metal- Dog Tag Shape / Size- Kit comes with 12 plates, each plate = can encode 12 words (6 on each side) to fit a full 24 word setCons:- Small size maybe a con for some.- No sleeve (besides the cardboard) or retainer ring or wire rope included.- Grid appears laser etched, so it might not be as disaster proof as one that is machined.- No way to mark which side is which. So you have to store them in exact order or include another sheet or the paper sleeve. Suggestion for Maker: Laser Etch (or machine) a symbol to indicate an "A" side.Conclusion:For a ready-made (not DIY) kit, it serves the purpose and is appropriately priced for the market compared to others.END NOTE:--------------------------------And with all the reviews I do, if there's ever a problem with this product, I will edit (if able) to update this review. These will be denoted in an "UPDATES" section.

I think this way of backing up a wallet is more secure as it dose not show the physical words. It does take a bit more work to decode the backup with having to locate each word from the BIP 39 word list. I would suggest printing a copy of the list off. A one page print off is available by searching online. It is probably a good idea to keep one on hand anyways. These plates are two sided and are good for wallets with 12 words. There are no markings to show which side would be the first side. That would have to be identified somehow whichever works best for you. Maybe an extra punch at the top for side one and two punches on side two. The plates are smaller than I thought they would be. For the value these backups are a great way to backup multiple wallets as well as gifting a wallet to someone. You would need to have your own punch as one is not provided.

First off, these tags are very well made and look great. But, as a seed bank, I don’t know about using this. I probably won’t. I thought it would be a good way to store my seed phrases, but I found I really do not like these numeric style banks. I prefer the ones that you can just enter the actual words in. Reason being, the words are already mnemonic codes. You should keep them in a safe, not wear them like this or keep them in your physical wallet. You don’t need them unless you need to make another crypto wallet. If/when that situation arises, I wouldn’t want to take the time to figure out these codes. You want to transfer wallets with speed. This gets in the way. It’s also based on a table that’s easy to look up and decipher by anyone anyway. Other than that, again, very well made if you prefer this type of storage device.

Nothing worse than having your seed stored somewhere easily accessible online. This definitely fits the bill by taking your seed, making it into a cipher, and allowing you to get more security.8/10 I would recommend it to crypto enthusiasts who worry about security. I hope this review is helpful.

Pretty much as expected. At first I thought this was going to have the actual words, but it clearly says in the title and you can see from the pictures it is Cipher-6 which converts your seed phrase into numerical data which I would say is a much safer way to store your seed phrase because someone must know the numerical conversion of Cipher-6 to find out the words for your seed phrase. Highly recommended.
