How To Make Your Own Crypto Steel Recovery Seed Backup for Only $3.35

I show you how to make your own steel crypto recovery seed backup using parts you can get at any hardware store. Don't pay $100 or more for a Crypotsteel backup when you can make a better one for only $3.35!

Why be complicated and expensive when you can be cheap and effective? This is really a wonderful idea to keep the words.

I found that using a vise to crush the letter punches into the washers leaves a much deeper/clearer indent than using a hammer for me.

Lots of diy options out there and people should use them. What these companies are charging for a simple plate of steel is ridiculous. You could buy a dremel tool, a letter punch set, and a hammer, and salvage a piece of stainless for less money...This is a great opportunity to be creative!

[Traxano]

You should place a smaller washer between each of them so if the steel gets hot or baked together you can saw each washers out

My second backup is buried, with a treasure map hidden in a painting frame, and my third backup I implanted in a patient during their appendectomy... "You have something I need."

Using washers?
Creative
Creating a jig
Super creative!!!
Creativity overload!!!
😖🤯😵

make sure they are 316 stainless. Zn plated steel will rust under immersion and likely wipe out the inscriptions or worse, zinc will melt and fuse the pile together at only 500C. even SS may sinter in a house fire, leaving you unable to access the stamped faces (destroyed by oxidation), which is one drawback. One way out is to use 625, 800H, 309 or some other corrosion/oxidation resistant alloy. Or utilise registry positions (courtesy of the jig) on the edge of the washer and cut through notches, spelling out a binary or hex code instead of stamped clear text. Only total destruction of the pile would result in loss of that data. But because it is so cheap, you can afford to have multiple duplicates which is the best outcome.... nice work john.

Harbor freight has stamp kit for $15 with numbers and letters.

This video is worth at least 200bucks. Thanks John for sharing!

Hiya John, you're a genius Sir. I bought one of those titanium seed stamps. I'm in IRELAND & they only sell them in the US, by the time I paid for postage & import tax it ended up costing 280 Euros,

[dennisalanvids]

I bought a $20 dremmel engraver that works great!

I can't remember a video I found more useful than this. GREAT video.

Had a scare a few weeks back, thought I had lost access to Multiple Meta Mask wallets, only had the primary wallet Seed Phrase (On paper in my safe), luckily I was able to recover the additional MM wallets. I'm glad I stumbled across your content, will now will be getting a stamping kit and washer template and a shit tone SS steel washers, nuts, and bolts from Home Depot. Thanks!

Suggest also getting tamper stickers or tape so you can tell if someone has taken a peek at your words then put the stack back together.

John's got Big Dad Energy! Great job, John!

My thought was to silkscreen etch on a copper plate, but i like your way better. I remember thinking about buying BTC when it was $50 😂. Still haven't bought any yet.

[PatchCornAdams]

This is unbelievably clever. I am going to make a bunch of these.

[mischifischi]

I just memorized my 24 word seed phrase. It took me 2 weeks repeating it for 3 times a day (or when i had time) but it is totally worth it! Its a great feeling knowing you have full control of your BTC.

Excellent video! One thing for everyone: American hardware stores like The Home Depot do not carry metric fender washers, bolts, and nuts. The 3D-printed jig is designed specifically for 24mm washers. It will not work with SAE 1" washers. Amazon is where you need to find the items in the parts list in the video description.

I just stumbled on this video learning how to properly purchase crypto. He seems like a really nice guy.
