[@Hank00011]

Your discount code isn't working. Has the time passed for it's use?

[@cyberscrilla]

For some reason it doesn’t work. I’ve reached out to Ellipal about the issue as it’s suppose to be permanent.. Hopefully will hear back this week and I can let you know

[@psalmtrigo3916]

Is your code working now?

[@alekswhy88]

Bought the original wallet in July 2022 I took all of my coins, threw them all there and maybe use the thing 3 or 4 more times and put it away for about a year. I took it out last week. It won't charge… I contact support. They told me to charge it for 24 hours, which didn't help. Then they told me because I purchased it on that date. The warranty has expired and I must purchase another one and it is my fault. Because I didn't charge it for over a year. So if you forget to charge this, it will die and it will be a piece of trash. They told me I have to buy another one. And they have some good sales going on right now. I can easily swap everything over with my pneumonic coperiod.. I guess I will have to buy this 2.Give it another shot and not forget to charge it at least once a month. Even though I only plan to store it long-term. Pretty dumb

[@cyberscrilla]

Dang. I’m sorry to hear that. My recommendation would be to get a different brand of wallet. The Trezor Safe 3 doesn’t even have a battery, so you don’t have to worry about it failing. Or if you’re looking for another airgapped solution than I recommend the Keystone 3 Pro. Then just import your seed phrase into the new wallet. I’ve reviewed both of these wallets on my Cold Wallet Review Playlist if you want to check them out: kzbin.info/aero/PLcf_x896LiWP5A_BkcIBEkpflQhThbJ7x&si=CD8LJSu_3QtWSB0a

[@catsfive]

This exact same type of thing happened to me. They sent me a $20 code for a new one. WTF. After getting gruff with them I bought a charging cradle and it's back again. Did you try that? I didn't charge it since it came out (was using as cold storage). It forgot all the keys so I have to refresh it. Hmmm

[@AncientEnigmas88]

Same here switched to arculus but not open source and gave them out for free at bitcoin Miami then eventually switched to tangem. No seed phrase. Open source. No battery. . Just three cards. Don't lose all of them and you're good.

[@FerrariMekhari]

@@catsfivedid you have a stroke halfway through that explanation? fuck, we have no idea what the hell you were trying to say

[@JohnDoe-gc3nh]

The same thing happened to me, but the device never worked from the start and never charged even though I had charged it for 24 hours. Ellipal said I had to pay the return shipping costs for the exchange, which I find cheeky. That's why I don't like Ellipal!

[@Ghostintheshell3551]

I have the original ellipal titan and use it heavily , I will not be upgrading to any new wallet as long as it works

[@cyberscrilla]

Nice!

[@AugustBoy36]

Are there any fee's with withdrawing your coins from the cold storage wallet? And can I attach my bank account to the wallet? Im curious how this part works!!

[@cyberscrilla]

@AugustBoy36 The only fees you pay are transaction fees. These are fees paid to whichever blockchain your crypto is on. And no, you can’t connect a bank card to your cold wallet. But with some wallets there is the option to buy/sell crypto directly in the native app.

Keystone doesn't support as many coins as the ellipal. Plus with the ellipal you can add custom tokens.

[@DanielNeubauer]

Thanks for the new review. As always straight to the point. Appreciate it. How does it compare to the Keystone Pro/Keystone 3 Pro? Which one do you prefer and why?

[@cyberscrilla]

You’re welcome, thanks for watching. The 3 Pro will always be my vault for my crypto, it’s security is unmatched. But the Titan 2.0 is more user-friendly especially with the native Ellipal app.

[@Joedrt]

Thanks for the update! Well done and to the point. Unfortunately, not too much of an upgrade for the price point IMO. I own a Titan Mini and still waiting for Ellipal to integrate the mini to metamask. There are better options out there. Will not get the 2.0.

[@DanielNeubauer]

Thanks for the answer. Appreciate it. For me the keystone pro is the best out of the bunch with the Keystone 3 Pro coming in at second place. I like that the KS3Pro has a longer battery life and can handle 3 seed phrases, but the KS Pro has a removeable battery pack (and can handle AAA batteries - plus it has a bitcoin only firmware. May I ask what (companion) app you use as your hot wallet with your KS Pro/KS 3 Pro? What can you recommend? And last question: how long will the current KS companion app supported for the use with KS Pro? -@@cyberscrilla

[@cyberscrilla]

The secure element chip is worth it for me. But if you're already using the Titan mini with no issues, that's good too.

I actually think the tradeoff of removing the charger and put the reader and stuff in there is brilliant... Ellipal is doing a great job here, prob the safest hardware wallet out there (If the firmware is legit ofcourse)

[@cyberscrilla]

It’s a good idea in theory, probably not necessary though. :)

Hi. Great Video.. how's this device compare with a DCENT HW Wallet in terms of reliability, usability, battery life etc, I'm concerned with the many battery and charging concerns... How does it work without wifi, Bluetooth etc, only by usb dock, surely not? Is this a reliable device?

[@carcrashcompilation6205]

I have a trezor Model T. But it only holds like 15 coins is there something similar that holds more than 100 coins?

Trezor holds thousands of different coins/tokens. Just depends what you’re looking for. I’d look at the Ledger Flex or OneKey Classic 1S for something similar

[@carcrashcompilation6205]

@cyberscrilla i have the the trezor model t and it doesn't hold that many. I need some something similar that holds 1000s

@@maseongreen770 What is the brand of the 32g mini sd card that you have? I’m trying to update using the 16g one and it doesn’t work.

[@CryptoGuide]

That firmware update wouldn't have actually worked, as you had the Green Light of Death. Did you want to just test inserting the MicroSD into the dock, then connecting power, and seeing if you can get the status light to turn blue? (Indicating that the MicroSD was successfully mounted) You don't need to have the Ellipal itself in the dock, as the issue is in the dock itself...

[@cyberscrilla]

I know it wouldn’t work, I made the video before the firmware update was available on the site (as stated in the video). It was simply to display how to update the device. 👍

[@CryptoGuide]

@@cyberscrilla I understand that, as I also received the device prior to launch, but the issue is that when you inserted the MicroSD and powered the dock on, the MicroSD failed to mount. (The light on the dock staying off for 5 seconds and then turning green showed this, and it has nothing to do with the actual file on the MicroSD card) There is actually a firmware update available now, so I'm curious as to whether you get the same behavior when attempting to update the firmware, which would actually prevent from from successfully flashing it. Basically, when working correctly, the dock light should turn blue with ~1 second of powering it up with a MicroSD inserted.

[@cyberscrilla]

@@CryptoGuide My apologies, I understand what you mean now. It seems like the micro SD card shipped with this device is subpar. Here's how i got it to work. 1. Plug in the power cable to the adapter 2. Insert and hold the micro sd card all the way down until the blue light turns on, then release 3. Then the firmware update should work This worked for me. - Alex

[@CryptoGuide]

Yea the interesting thing is that while it will sometimes work if you power it up first and then insert the MicroSD that seems to be very unreliable, so the workflow you have suggested should be avoided. If you power cycle the device, with the MicroSD inserted, does your come straight back to the blue light or sit with no light for 5 seconds, then turn green? @@cyberscrilla

[@cyberscrilla]

@CryptoGuide the main way I get it to turn blue is by plugging the power in first, and then inserting the micro sd card (again, you have to hold it all the way down until it turns blue). It seems to rarely work if I put the micro sd card in first, then plug in the power chord. Definitely buggy.

Also, people forget that those secure elements are proprietary. So even though a device may have open source software, the inner workings of the secure elements are closed source. No way to confirm whether or not the manufacturer has created a back door or not. We just have to “Trust” that they didn’t lol. That’s why devices like the Blockstream Jade and SeedSigner are growing in popularity. They don’t use Secure Elements, but rather alternate methods that make them truly 100% open source.
