 So as we rumble through this bull market, one of the things that we need to be crystal clear on is that people must use cold storage wallet devices. Because if you don't, there is a great opportunity for the centralized players to rob you blind. And it's happened with Mount Gox. Of course, that was a hack, but it also happened with Voyager, Celsius, FTX, BlockFi. So don't fall victim to that. What we're going to do today is talk about a cold storage device called Elepal. Now on this show, we've talked a lot about ledger. We've talked a lot about tangent, which is my personal favorite. But Elepal reached out and said, hey, how would you like to do a quick review of our device? And we'll send you some free ones. Great. So they sent me some free ones. And that was it. This is not a paid service. The ones that I have right here, I will be giving away. I have a couple of them. But there was no money that changed hands on to make sure that is crystal clear as we do this review. So let's jump in. So the first thing first is that if we're going to talk about a cold storage device, you know, some of the things we want to talk about is just how great it is. And of course, the information behind it. So you see on the website, it'll say Forbes advisor best of 2023, which I got to tell you sounds pretty good until you remember that Forbes also picked these morons. So as you go through this and just say, Oh, well, Forbes picked it. And then I'm a real great track record. So just take that with a grain of salt. One thing that I really like about this device is that there's no connections to it. There's no ports. There's no USB C USB. There's no Wi Fi connections NFC Bluetooth. So nothing, it is completely air gaps. And the only way that you can update it is by attaching a small device magnetically and inserting a small card and updating device itself. Beyond that, there is no connection to the outside world. So you've also have offline firmware updates, which is 100% offline, like we just talked about using a micro SD card. It's at an auto self destruct. So if there's any tampering or if it's defected, your private information will be automatically deleted. There's a second three consecutive wall options set up alternative accounts that shows up when the wallet is unlocked with your alternative password. So like, let's just say, for example, someone breaks your house and goes, give me your cold storage wallet device, because I know you're a crypto nerd. And then you say, oh, okay, here's the device itself. And the password is, you know, num skull or whatever. And they put that in and they're like, Hey, you've only got half a Bitcoin or you've only got 0.002 Bitcoin. Well, I guess that's better than nothing. And they walk away and you're good. So there is options. Also, two factor authentication, pin entry, password entry, get extra secure with gesture pin, and numeric password. So very important, the actual security itself. So again, like we talked about, it's fully metal sealed and built with no online components. I really like that that part about it. System will delete every data when it detects a breach. So if anybody's trying to like physically hack in there, it just self destructs like we talked about. And the big thing here is it's EAL five plus secure element. What is all that? Well, as far as security goes, in the IT world, it goes below between EAL one and EL seven. And this provides the greatest level of assurance that a product or systems principle security features have been reliably applied. And this is the most important part. A higher EAL is not automatically indicative of a stronger level of security than a lower EL. This is because EALs are only comparable across products that have the same security target. So you may have other devices that have like seven plus or EL seven. And that's the top. So you're like, why isn't that seven? It's because it's the particular device of what we're comparing to across a spectrum. So how does that compare to the big guns in the space? So with ledger, this is from their website. I will link this in the description. They have obtained an EL five plus certificate, which essentially is the same as LA pal. So that's looking good. They're on the same level. However, I have got a lot of requests, especially because of Guy over at Coin Bureau. He's a love Trasor for some reason. He says, you got to look at Trasor, mate. And I took a look and yeah, they have an EL six plus. So a little bit one up, but also on that side, Tangem, my personal favorite, also has an EL six plus. So for taking a look at EL, a little bit higher security. That's what it is. Now the price. So Trasor is actually quite a spectrum fluctuates between $59 for the model one, safe 379179. So between 60 and 180 bucks, essentially, that's what a Trasor will cost you a Tangem with my discount code. It'll can range between 49 or under 50 bucks for two cards or 63 for three cards. And then ledger, when I was looking today, I couldn't even get the thing to load up for whatever reason, I don't know. And it didn't say if I know it's somewhere between 69 and $179 for the ledger nano S and the X and the stacks, I think is above 200 if that ever comes out. So good luck with that. But for LA pal, you're looking at between for the Titan mini, which we're going to look at today from $99 to the Titan 2.0 169, the LA pal seed of phrase steal at $59 not too bad. And then of course, with the app itself, because you can't access everything else without the nap, you will have that over 10,000 coins and tokens, which is a strength, I believe for LA pal. So we're going to look at today. So I'm going to set up the Titan mini. I'm going to show you how that works with the micro SD card. We're not going to take a look at the Titan itself because it's kind of across the board didn't really interest me too much, especially for the price point, but I'm going to show you this steel wallet and 24 is how it actually works. And I think I think this is the jewel. So let's just jump right in. All right, so let's take this apart. So this is the Titan. And of course, it's much smaller than the original LA pal Titan 2.0. This is the mini, which I like, you can see here, very small, very compact. The only thing it has for any kind of access is this right here. It's a magnetic strip. And essentially what this is going to allow you to do is we're going to be able to attach that and put the SD card in there to update it. And that's it. Other than that, there is no connection. And I like that part a lot. So let's see. So up on the rest of this stuff, this air cap wall, I don't care about that. Whatever this is. Oh, look at that. A nice little place to put your seed phrase. You can hopefully not lose them. That's always nice. And of course, here we have our the most annoying part of cold storage devices is these little goofy cords USB to USB-C. We also have the magnetic device, which will essentially connect here. And that was where we will put our microchip to update it. So let's see if it has any juice and go from there. Power button's right there. Oh, it does have juice. All right. English is my favorite language. And I have down the LAPEL app. There's always something with this. So I'm going to use my phone to scan this and we'll go from there. All right. So there it goes. That's my phone. And a lot of switch apps. Sure. Why not? Let's do that. And LAPEL. Plus I've already have this. So I guess I got to re-download it again. Great. Let's open this sucker up. Great. Start. I will read this diligently. I am a speed reader. And yes, that's a lot of stuff. Holy smokes. Yeah, I read all that. Please press the button to scan the LAPEL app connection QR code. Okay. So we're going to click here. Connect to the cold wallet. Like to access the camera. Allow. So first thing you might notice on this one, we already downloaded the app itself. There's a blue arrow right there. We're going to click on the blue arrow. And it's going to ask us, do you want to create an account? Recover seed phrase or import an account? Now you can import an account from someplace else, but we're just going to set this one up. Create account. Account name. Let's put it on as Rob Password. Let's set an account password. Great. Select the address type. General. Say what will stick with Segwit. And then passphrase. So essentially you're doing a password to get into your passphrase. Now you cannot do this and keep it off. Or if you think like, hey, I can't trust my own family or people might break in and they're going to steal this device. If they're going to steal this device and you think about it, then put a passphrase in because then they have to actually get into and use the passphrase to get into the device to get to your actual 24 word seed phrase. So for this one, I'm going to skip it just for time. Create successfully. Please back up the seed phrase. Let's do this backup. Please keep in mind the seed phrase is important for assets. What's backup now? Now look at this. Look at this really closely. Never share this is backup words. I am not going to use this device at all. I'm actually going to reset it after I am done. But this is what you will copy down on your card, which is over here. And you'll copy everything down and you'll store this in a safe place as best you can. However, there's a better option for you, which would be the seed phrase steal. So again, I am showing you this because I am not going to use this device. This device will be reset. Never share your backup phrase because if they have the backup phrase, somebody out there and doesn't matter where you're at, you could take this phrase, you could punch into any wallet and get every single crypto that actually have in this wallet, just from these 12 words. Crazy, right? So now we get to select the coins or the cryptos that we want to add in. And you can see there's a ton of them right here. And they're just going to add those in automatically. If you want to turn anything off, you definitely can. But we'll just leave it on. And then that's a lot. And we're going to press okay. And that's essentially it. If I wanted to transfer Bitcoin, if I want to send this, I have to connect this to the app. I have to scan this here. And I have to use the app that we just downloaded in the beginning to send it off. And it'll actually work to this device itself. So that's essentially LEPAL in a nutshell. Now what I want to show you is something I think is much, much more interesting is the LEPAL seed phrase. And I like this one because, first of all, it feels good. It feels sturdy, it feels heavy. Even if you're in a fire, which let's hope you're not. And you had written down your passphrase over here, which I did not do. You're essentially life savings is gone. And that's a big problem, right? But with this, it's all steel. And you can put these in there as you see fit and make it work. So let's see what it comes with. So this is essentially what it comes with. And you can't really see it too well on this device. But you can see right here, the little letters that we have right there. What we're going to do is you're going to use the first four letters of the seed phrase and put them in there because they actually pre-populate when you do that. So with this one, the first seed phrase word that I had, it was shop. So I'm going to need to find the S. And I'm going to just go through this. Here we go. We found the S's. Oh, I see. And it's a little bit cumbersome, but these lies just the there's a backing for the plastic. You just take this plastic off. You don't have to pop them out or anything like that. And voila, there they are. There's my first S. And I'm going to put it in here. Now the thing with this, you're going to have to unscrew it. Okay, so here's the first problem. This screwdriver doesn't really work too well because it's already gets grinded down after the first couple of screws get out. So I'm going to have to get another screwdriver that I own to get these things out and go from there. All right. So I finished up just the first three and you can see here I got shop, diet, and prid actually gets pried. I'm just missing the E. But again, it's only for four letters. The other letters should auto-populate when you're trying to recover your passphrase and that would take it for that. So that concludes the Ellie Powell review. So my final thoughts are this. The Ellie Powell device is a little bit cumbersome, especially when you're trying to update the software with the small little micro SD card, which is fine, but it's just a little bit cumbersome and you know, you can get around that. I'm a big believer in diversification. So I do use an Ellie Powell, but the majority of what I use and put on for my devices would be my tangent and my ledger and a little bit on the Ellie Powell. And that's up to you to go from there of what you think is actually best. So I'll leave in your capable hands. And yeah, that's it for today. So I wanted to give a shout out to Ellie Powell. Thanks for these free devices. I appreciate it. And that's it for today. Like this video, thumbs up, subscribe, all the good stuff. See you on the next one.
