That's a pretty reasonable price, certainly if it's closer to 70 EUR.
Given that you also get the bits for punching the letters in, you can easily sell cheaper plates without them.
4mm sounds like the perfect thickness, I wouldn't imagine that would bend, while it's still light and compact enough.
If you're ever going to release a version 2.0 of this, you might want to figure out a way to stamp entire words on.
Maybe through some kind of placeholder for individual letter bits?
Now you have to stamp one letter at a time, right? Seems that way, looking at the picture on your website.

Any idea what your price will be? Ballpark figure is fine.
The price will be around 70 - 100 EUR. I'll figure out a competitive approach to multiple plates (eg. buy 2 get 3rd one free or similar).
The steel is 4mm thick, I don't think anyone sells seed backup plates that thick at the moment.
It is heavy but will not warp or deform after punching 24 words.
It's definitely something that you can bury in the ground and it'll still be there with readable words decades later.
I really like the design of it, simple and robust, I could just bury the thing and it would probably survive decades (maybe centuries?) below the ground.
If it isn't too expensive, I'm definitely getting one when they're available. Just signed up on your website

I'm defenatly interested...
Depending on the price of each item included in your package, i'd say it would be a good idear to include several stainless steel plates per set.. I have several seed phrases i'd like to backup, but i only need 1 set of letter stamps to stamp them all.
Let us know when these discount codes will be available and wether or not you'd be open to using a forum escrow!

Hi folks.
If you own any cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin you probably know how important it is to have a backup of your seed written down on something that will survive a flood or a house fire.
After evaluating current cold storage solutions, I must say I wasn't thoroughly pleased with their quality and design. My thoughts are reflected in Jameson Lopp's tests of various seed backup products.
So I decided to create my own. After months of testing I came up with a design that I'm very satisfied with and would like to share it with you.
• 4mm thick stainless steel (seed backup) + 2mm thick cover
• nickel binding posts, no loose parts
• 3mm A-Z letter stamp set made from hardened steel included
• capable of storing 24 recovery words + a passphrase, up to 8 characters per word
• compatible with Trezor, Ledger, KeepKey, Jaxx, Exodus, Electrum and many more
• metal box
It is called Coldbit. It's made of thick stainless steel (AISI 304). Instead of assembling the seed letters are stamped onto the plates using the most reliable and bulletproof technique - a hammer and a letter stamp set. They will not scramble even if a heavy log from the roof of your house hits it during a house fire. The steel plates are then bound together using nickel binding posts.
I believe this wallet will survive the most catastrophic events. I know that my seed words are safe inside it.
I'm planning to launch an online shop in Q4 2018. The prices will be competitive. Initially we'll ship only to EU countries and in Q1 2019 to the rest of the world. Look out for an announcement, I'll include a discount code when we launch.
Stay tuned.
