**Long version**
**The story:**
My family’s business is making nameplates and other metal products for heavy industry like mining equipment, wind farms, train engines etc. We have quite a bit of experience in making heavy-duty plates with durable markings that have to survive harsh conditions and disasters for evidence reasons.
I’m also a cryptocurrency enthusiast and I’ve seen that the most popular seed phrase backups are quite flimsy and expensive at the same time. This is why I have thought about making something more durable, at the same price or cheaper. I also wanted to bundle everything you need in the box, so you could start right away with making your backup.
I’ve spent the past few months making the website and perfecting the manufacturing process. In the meantime, I got some customers that enjoyed the product (some of them were probably fellow Redditors – thank you!) so I expanded the delivery option from Europe to worldwide. In the coming days, I will also update the website with new photos, how-to and stress videos. Wanted to spread the word a bit here, looking also for feedback and suggestions.
**About the products:**
All Coinplate backups are 100% made of Stainless Steel (1.4301 | AISI 304) which guarantees that they’re water, rust and corrosion resistant. It is also fireproof up to temperatures around 1.300°C/2.400°F (even up to 1.450°C/2.650°F), while house fires reach up to 850°C/1.500°F. My private stress tests show that it can take a lot of beating. I’ll also publish some stress tests videos in the coming days/weeks. I’ll try to ask Jameson Lopp to perform his own stress tests as well.
Coinplate crypto wallets are made of 2 very thick stainless steel plates joined with stainless bolts. Each steel plate is 3/16″ | 5mm thick, forming together a thick steel sandwich to protect your seed phrase. Bolts are also AISI 304 Stainless Steel and are 3/16”| 5mm in diameter. The layout and lettering are deep engraved in steel. These features guarantee seed phrase visibility even after the worst accidents or disasters.
You can store 24 words on each Coinplate with BIP39 seed phrase (mnemonic), so it’s either one 24-word-long seed phrase or two 12-word-long. With Coinplate Punch you also have some extra space for additional information. Because Coinplate ALPHA and GRID have a full A-Z layout, you can use them also for a passphrase. If your passphrase has also numbers, you might want to use Coinplate PUNCH for that.
All Coinplate are designed to be easy to store and hide. This is why they have a flat design and no permanent branding. You can easily remove all the branding and logos (it’s just a sticker) so it would look just like a steel slab. This way it’s much easier to overlook and harder to make sense of what it is when found by someone else.
Also, there are extra mounting holes in all Coinplate steel backups so you can fix or hang it anywhere you want. Inside a wardrobe or cabinet, behind drywall or under the floor – you name it. You even get the wood screws included with the set.
This kind of build and materials make it possible to store your seed phrase for literally decades. You can literally bury it in your yard if you wish.
Coinplate steel wallets are almost 3 pounds (2.8lb | 1.3kg), making them quite solid. Coinplate backups are exceeding standards for mining rigs nameplates by a big margin, and these have to survive explosions and mine-shaft collapse for evidence.
All of this might be a bit too much for everyday situations, but I like to be sure that my seed phrase is secure, and I wanted for others to feel safe too.
