Cryptosteel Capsule Review and Comments 2023 Hardware Wallets

The capsule looks absolutely robust and resistant (…) The deep thread hermetically seals the capsule and thus keeps the information safe even under water. The capsule can withstand the impact of a 9 mm projectile.

The Capsule’s cylindrical design makes it a pretty inconspicuous product.

Zaista je teško zamisliti kakva bi to kataklizma bila u stanju uništiti kapsulu do te mjere da podaci pohranjeni u njoj postanu neupotrebljivi.

Cryptosteel Testbericht [DE] by hardware-wallets.de, September 2017

I would recommend the Cryptosteel if you have a large cryptocurrency holding as it offers more security compared to writing down your mnemonic sentence on a piece of paper.
– Cryptosteel Review by CoinGecko, February 2017

This product is awesome! It doesn’t require any outside power. It can withstand the elements . You can zap it with a million volts and it will survive.
– Captain Jack, Cryptosteel customer

This is amazing. Moreover, I like the idea of an open source hardware project.

Best way to stash your passwords or private keys. Love the packaging, too.

I’m a huge Cryptosteel fan. All bitcoin folk need at least one.

Happy birthday to me! Loving both the packaging and the product.

We have been Cryptosteel users for the better part of 2017 and have nothing but the best things to say about it. We literally tell everyone in our network, be it our investors, partners, or clients, that if they are looking to securely store their seed passphrases or other critical data, they need to look no further than a Cryptosteel as it really is the best solution.

– Michael Sonnenschein, Director of Sales and Business Development at Grayscale

Cryptosteel is THE most secure way to back up a cryptographic private key or seed. Cryptosteels give you CCSS Level 3 compliance right out of the box, being impervious to fire, flood, static electricity and even EMPs. I truly believe there is no better alternative.
