[@microlearntolove815]

Thank you @CryptoDad, I got the Keystone 3 Pro with your discount link. But I made a mistake by sending XRP to the Keystone 3 Pro wallet (using the keystone device XRP QR code for receiving end) before binding keystone with OKX mobile wallet. After sending the crypto to the keystone device, I don't see any XRP showing on the keystone device. Therefore I downloaded OKX wallet and connect with keystone, I manage and added XRP, but my XRP asset showing $0 balance on the wallet. Where did my XRP goes? How can I retrieve those funds? Please help 🙏

[@timk9729]

Please add more videos on this Keystone. What about 3 wallets on the device. Can they be set up for 3 people in the house and each use their fingerprints? Can you connect to an already existing metamask wallet? When you swap are you getting native tokens or wrapped tokens etc

Xellent video! Is there any desktop app for this wallet? Also: is there a SD-card included in the pack?

[@CryptoDad]

I stuck to the air gap set up, but they do have an included USB cable that should allow you to connect to some desktop apps but I believe they're just compatible with the browser extension wallets like Met Mask and Rabby. keyst.one/supported-wallets-and-assets I didn't have lot of time to play around with the usb cable, but I'll probably be doing a follow up video on connecting the device to the computer with the USB cable and interfacing with some crypto extension wallets. And no, there is no microSD card included. You have to buy it separately. You can get a cheap one on Amazon.

[@one5749]

Hello Crypto Dad, Question, Why do you call the OKX a wallet as opposed to app? So when using the OKX along with Keystone Pro 3 are we actually using 2 wallets a cold and a hot?

[@CryptoDad]

They are both components of the same wallet. I know it's a little confusing. The term wallet is a very generic term that covers a lot of ground. Logically, you can think of a cryptocurrency wallet as simply a cryptographic public/private key pair that maps to an address on the Bitcoin blockchain.(or a different blockchain, such as the Ethereum or Solana). But when we're dealing with a hardware wallet, we have separated the private key onto the device and the public key, or the public facing part of the wallet is covered by software, either desktop or app based. But it's quite common to refer to one or the other as a "wallet". To add to the confusion, many hardware wallets support multiple cryptocurrencies. And each of these cryptocurrencies are designed by accounts. But even the individual accounts can be considered separate crypto "wallets".

In the meantime, I will refer you to this video, which is restoring to a ledger device. The interface is slightly different, but the process is the same.

My test to receive shows 2 diff addresses, one on OKX is diff from the Keystone btc address. Oh boy!

[@travisoneal586]

Do you have to create a new wallet when you first set up the device or can you restore an existing wallet?

[@CryptoDad]

You can restore from the start if you want to. But I would be very careful what kind of seed phrase you use to restore your device. You should never use a seed phrase from a hot wallet like Metamask to restore a hardware wallet. Only use a seed phrase from a previous hardware wallet or one that you've generated properly on your own. There are many ways to generate valid seed phrases. But you have to be very careful to do it properly. Don't just make up words on your own. coinguides.org/generating-custom-mnemonic-seed-phrases/

[@thanhtranngoc6616]

Hi ad, Keystone pro 3 can connect to simple-metamask or double or more than metamask and orther wallet : xrp, sui .. at currently

[@acille1joDIS]

I noticed that you authorized the maximum spending cap when swapping eth for shib. Do you feel comfortable with the default max setting in Metamask also? Ive been meaning to ask. I wonder if doing that leaves me open to wallet drain via malicious smart contract if I don't lower the cap.

[@CryptoDad]

I usually don't do that. I usually like to leave extra Eth in the wallet

[@CryptoDad]

I was rereading this and noticed you were talking about the max spending cap. I'm usually playing around with small amounts. And so I want to give myself full access to my balance. If you had a lot of crypto in the wallet, then I guess it would be smart to only authorize the amount you're willing to trade. However, rather than connecting your "go to" wallet with all of your holdings, it might make sense to have a separate wallet that you use just for trading in case something were to happen. That way you can compartmentalize your holdings. Only transfer enough crypto into the "working" wallet for the amount you're willing to trade. Keep the rest in your "storage only" wallet.

[@acille1joDIS]

@@CryptoDad this video helped me choose the proper hardware wallet. I can't believe the manufacturer's website wanted 120usd shipping, with no way to change it, for two keystone wallets and two fabric cases. I found their Amazon store, and listed at the $90 Black Friday price, with free prime shipping. I have faith that they are doing the open source thing correctly. I am going to be worried about keystone if we don't get open source files by the end of 2023. Great studio and great videos - I'm in the process of preparing to launch my own KZbin channel, sometime in January.

[@paulwhelan4124]

Hi Crypto Dad, thanks for all your great videos. My new Keystone 3 Pro has arrived and I've set it up BUT I can't link the companion app. I don't want to use a 3rd party wallet like metamask or OKX. Does Keystone have a generic companion app for the KS3 Pro? I'm confused. Thanks

[@CryptoDad]

Keystone no longer supports a companion app. They have decided to focus on making the best hardware wallet out there. Now the only options are 3rd party wallets. They do this in the interest of decentralization. You'll notice in the video that I'm using the OKX wallet with my Keystone 3 pro. The OKX wallet is actually much better than their old companion app anyway.

[@DonnaCrow-HealingSchool]

I'm using Rabby. It's great.

[@s3lfFish]

​@@CryptoDad Hi, Isn't it less secure to use a third party wallet, I don't really trust metamask for exemple. and is the okx wallet like a coinbase wallet ? so you'd link you're cold wallet to a hot wallet. I don't get it honestly.which one is the safest option according to you, and do you think it's the safest way to go (third party wallets instead of the keystone app) ? Thx in advance :)

[@ronleijssen367]

When you put the file on the sd card, is it possible to check the authentisity?

[@CryptoDad]

I noticed that on their firmware site they had a checksum for the Keystone Essential & Pro Multi-Coin Firmware. But not for the Keystone 3 & 3 pro Multi-Coin Firmware. It's pretty new. Maybe they didn't think to put the checksum verification on there yet. I just went ahead and downloaded it anyway. But they usually do have checksums next to their firmware downloads.

Do you have a choice on your favorite air gapped wallet? I’ve been using ELLIPAL for years and I’m ready for something else. Also, are you doing a review on the new ELLIPAL titan 2 soon?

What is your opinion on Ellipal? I really love the air gapped method on the Ellipal Titan but i read more and more stories of people that lost crypto with Ellipal and that Ellipal don't respond on serious issues, I had some issues but they always helped me, but after reading more stories of losing crypto i'm done with Ellipal

[@jeffmee9326]

@@wouterwalhout5067 I’ve had the titan since 2020. The screen is finally starting to go. I haven’t had many issues with it. It seems more difficult to operate than some of the other non-air gapped wallets, especially for a newbie, but it worked out well for me. The customer service has been ok. I’ve really had to watch closely on transfer fees. Sometimes the automatic speed/fee can have you spending $40 to move a tiny amount of BTC. I just ordered the new one. The titan mini sucks though. I might try and send it back. The screen is terrible.

[@DarthRaver-og7qq]

​@@wouterwalhout5067waht are you even talking about? If anyone lost crypto while using an ellipal it was through user error because people don't really understand crypto. Ellipal has nothing to do with your crypto. They don't control your crypto only you do. If something went wrong with your ellipal you just enter your 24 seed recovery phrase into a new wallet. You clearly don't understand how crypto works.

[@jeetud.mirpuri7356]

I'm sorry but I don't quite get this.. So OKX is a hot wallet isn't it? So essentially the private keys live offline in the keystone device but the crypto's are stored in OKX and you need the keystone device to sign off transactions? So my question being, if your crypto's are in a hot wallet like OKX, doesn't that defeat the purpose of having a Keystone device? What if OKX go bust like other exchanges have in the past, what would happen to our cryptos in that scenario? Many thanks for your help!

[@CryptoDad]

Cryptocurrency is stored on the blockchain. It is not stored inside the OKX wallet. The OKX wallet is merely a window (or interface) that can view your balances on the blockchain. All of the functionality of the OKX wallet has to be authorized by the Keystone 3 pro hardware device. The Keystone device holds the private keys offline separate for the OKX app. Therefore the wallet is not a hot wallet, but a cold or cold or offline wallet.

[@wLkByFAITH.]

That’s exactly what I was just thinking. Just ordered my Keystone 3 pro today. Through Crypto Dad. And now I am having second thought? Can you make a newly complete video of this. If possible. Thx

[@EscapeTheOrdinaryMindset]

So you can’t send staked crypto to the keystone or stake through the wallet?

[@CryptoDad]

Well, you can’t send staked crypto anywhere. Doesn’t matter where you’re staking it. In order to transfer cryptocurrency, It has to be un-staked from wherever it is you’re staking it. (unless we’re talking about StETH, which is a different animal) as for the second question, I believe it’s possible to stake crypto that you have protected by your keystone 3 pro as long as you use a compatible wallet like MetaMask or Keplr

[@cryppto3943]

What size micro sd should I use & do I need one?

[@CryptoDad]

I believe you're only requirement is at least four gigabytes of space. And most of the Micro SD cards around are much more than that. You can pick one up on Amazon on the cheap.

[@baronsilverbaron757]

On your recommendation I purchased the Keystone 3 Pro. For me it was a bit of a nightmare. I didn't have a USB to USB C cable so I had to buy one. I also had to buy a micro SD as the site said there was a problem with the USB update. The Keystone site is in dark mode and is difficult to read. Went through the setup process and then tried to see which additional wallet I should use. I could hardly see the writing on the screen as it was so small. Chose the first one Metamask to find it didn't support Bitcoin. Chose the next one only to find it wasn't supported in France. Eventually used Blue Wallet which wasn't easy to use. Eventually after several tries got it to work with the Keystone. The back and forth with the camera verifying doesn't inspire confidence. So I probably won't use it much. Went back to my tried and tested Bitfi which uses WiFi so is permanently air-gapped. Also Bitfi updates itself. I suspect the reason we never see 'wallet experts' using Bitfi is because the company doesn't offer freebies or kick-backs. As of this moment the Keystone has been charging over night and is still at 90%.

[@CryptoDad]

I'm sorry you had issues getting your Keystone 3 Pro set up. Air gapped wallets are not for everyone. When I do my reviews, I try to stay objective and don't specifically "recommend" a particular wallet to anyone. I've done over 800 videos and reviewed many different types of wallets. I've also done several comparison videos where I go over the pros and cons of each wallet. I base my evaluation on several factors, The most important of which are security, usability and affordability. I find it somewhat puzzling that you went with the bitfi wallet instead. I've never done a review of the bitfi wallet, because I always considered it somewhat of a controversial device bordering on a scam. In fact, even McAfee admitted that his initial claim of the wallet being "unhackable" was a marketing ploy. I don't see how entering a 6 character (minimum) salt, and then a 30 character (minimum) passphrase every time you use the wallet is easier than using an air-gapped wallet, but to each his own. masterthecrypto.com/bitfi/

[@baronsilverbaron757]

@@CryptoDad Thanks for the reply. I also am only saying what I found about the Keystone. Too many points of failure. The Bitfi is only used for capital storage as I never trade or buy anything with Bitcoin. Having an opinion about Bitfi upon hearsay and without using a device is not a good look for someone evaluating wallets. At the moment I'm investigating the Tangem with a seed phrase. It seems to have security with ease of use and little points of failure. Cameras reading a QR code seem to me to be a real point of failure especially when you have no idea whether the QR code is genuine.

Create a design decision a few months back to abandon work on their native app and focus only on their hardware device. They said it was in the interest of decentralization.

@@Marsexalted. yes I have always thought that the fact that you have to import outside software using an SD card is pretty much the same thing as connecting a cable. You’re still exposing the device to outside software. However, you do have cryptographic verification tools when you download the firmware updates, but nothing in this world is full proof. Having said that, a device wouldn’t be very useful. If you couldn’t run updates on it. Block chains are constantly getting updated so there has to be some sort of mechanism for running updates. Otherwise you would need to buy a new device every few months.

[@marcosvelasquez5924]

and what about removable batteries?!

[@CryptoDad]

It needs to be charged.

[@shopminer2308]

Software update via SD card?? Really?? Thanks, I prefer my Ledger

[@s3lfFish]

there's no keystone app anymore ? isn't that less secure to connect to another third party software ?

[@CryptoDad]

Correct there is no longer a Keystone native app. The company says they do this in the interest of decentralization. They want to focus on building the wallet, improving the wallet, and keeping it secure. That is really the key to security. A 3rd party wallet does not make using a hardware device insecure. And third party wallets can focus on improving features that people are demanding like interacting with a wide variety of cryptos and web3 interfaces. It does sort of leave the ball in the user's core to evaluate 3rd party wallets for their security and functionality. That is kind of the point of crypto is self custody and self responsibility.

[@s3lfFish]

@@CryptoDad its true, but I guess I was used to having an app. I'm not sure which 3rd party wallet is the best, which one would you recomand ? Thx again :)

[@CryptoDad]

@@s3lfFish the OKX app seems to be the one that supports the most cryptocurrencies. It’s the one I demonstrated in the video

[@s3lfFish]

@@CryptoDad Thx ;)

Fingerprint lowers security. It still works even if you are dead.

[@CryptoDad]

The idea here is that no one else has your fingerprint. If your dead, your crypto isn’t gonna do you any good anyway

[@JZainbear]

​@@CryptoDadtrue but a thief is more likely to k@ll or remove your thumb if that is all it takes. I'd stick with the PIN to discourage it. Plus my kids are too sneaky and I'm a heavy sleeper😊

[@kenm8955]

I also purchased the Pro3 on your recommendation and while setting it up I took a break, put it on charge, and now it won't turn on. I now have zero trust in this unit! I have contacted the company and hopefully, I can return it for a refund.

[@CryptoDad]

Try holding the power button in for three or four seconds. (until you see the logo)

[@kenm8955]

You’re not serious with that reply are you?

[@kenm8955]

Update...emailed Keystone about this problem 5 days ago and still no response. This is trash to me now.

[@timlund747]

I like my Ledger

[@xblackrainbow]

its so airgapped that it has bluetooth capabilities and a usb connection if needed of course

[@CryptoDad]

Yeah, I think it’s a pretty good compromise based on their user feedback. If you’ll notice in the video, I did everything using off-line set up and airgap I’ll probably do another video on using the device with a USB cable.

[@javishernandez3554]

It does not have Bluetooth capabilities

[@DanielNeubauer]

@@javishernandez3554are you sure? they say on the website and the packaging that it does have Bluetooth.

[@berrychaney70]

I like Tangem cards better I think 🤔

[@tomcurry3358]

Yup

[@CryptoDad]

I like them both

[@javishernandez3554]

I use Tangem to store my crypto and never connect to dapps or sign transactions with it. Then I use my Keystone to secure my web 3 wallets and for transaction signing

[@maxisoulcaliber8941]

Keystone isn't user friendly at all. Quite a learning curve nightmare. Ledger is very easy but security issues.

[@tomvanderpluijm]

First: excuse me for my bad english: Second : I will never advice to buy a Keystone 3 pro wallet. Bad or no help from Keystone, really nobody have given a direct or normal answer, and when you want to send crypto directly its not possible ??? you have to send it first to ( example ) OKX and then to your Keystone , and it will cost you two times money?

[@Samuelwstone271]

This make no sense, the coins aren't actually going to the wallet in this. This wallet seems like a glorified notepad that just tracks the addresses. It doesn't actually store the crypto, it's just staying on the OKX Wallet. The address on the OKX Wallet and the keystone wallets are literally the same.

[@jeffmee9326]

That’s how air-gapped wallets work

[@Samuelwstone271]

⁠then it’s not a wallet, it more a key if anything. Whatever soft wallet you use could still prevent you from sending crypto if they wanted.

[@Samuelwstone271]

Calling these wallets or saying you are sending crypto to “it” is miss leading. Is there any systems that completely removes it from the exchanges? That would be a true wallet.

[@jeffmee9326]

@@Samuelwstone271 I am really not the one to be able to explain the Blockchain to you, but essentially you are right, but I think you are thinking about it like a traditional wallet or something. It is just a signing device gap wallets are the safest wallets. You might want to do a little more research on how all this works.

[@CryptoDad]

You're correct. The hardware device is only part of the wallet. It is the private key part of the wallet. A cryptocurrency wallet consists of a private key and a public key. But many people think of the hardware device as the wallet itself. And you're right, there is no crypto in the hardware device. Cryptocurrency is not stored in wallets. It's stored on the blockchain. Wallets are simply the interface that allow you access to manage your crypto on the blockchain. So in many ways it's similar to a wallet, but different. It's not like the wallet in your pocket that you actually stick cash in. It's more like your ATM card that gives you access to your bank account. However, crypto is decentralized and not controlled by any centralized banks or governments. It is an entirely cooperative community project. Your second sentence talked about the soft part of the wallet being vulnerable. But the soft part of the wallet cannot authorize outgoing transactions. That's what the hardware device does. No crypto can be sent out of the soft wallet unless it is authorized by the private key, which is held separate on the hardware device. That's what's going on when we scan QR codes. The hardware device is receiving the request and authorizing it, and then sending out an authorization code.

[@AmonAsmodeus]

Don’t buy this wallet, company sent me one that doesn’t even work and refused to give me a refund

[@hdcomputerkeith]

Dont buy it! it sux

[@hanayusuf4117]

hey cryptodad! deposit/withdrawal from exchange platform to keystone 3 pro tutorial there is a video about it which you have already done thanks

[@CryptoDad]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/eXjEpaGGd8mKoqssi=zsV87PKeiypp8498&t=935 This is from my previous video on the Keystone (time coded) and I was using the companion app instead of the OKX wallet but the process is similar.
