Cool, thanks.

I would rather pay with bitcoins and try out OpenBazaar.

Elvar,

We have no reviews at OpenBazaar yet, because we want to ship to Indiegogo Crowdfunders in a first row.
All OpenBazaar purchases have to wait until we fulfil the initial orders.

Could you list your OpenBazaar link in the OP? I see it for sale on OB but there are no reviews yet so it could be anyone.

Got mine today! San Diego, CA.  I was so excited I posted the unboxing on my youtube channel. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DY2eqLiUOVg
Thanks Cryptosteel!

Would it be easier for me to use my German address or my US military APO address for shipment?

From the beautiful state of Idaho (USA), my two early bird cryptosteels arrived today!  Kind of funny, I emailed Wojciech Stopinski a few days ago, and Wojciech thought they were probably lost and I wouldn't get delivery.  Anyway, was happy to see them in my mailbox!

One of the major mistakes you made though, is that you stamped the tiles on both sides.  This reduces how deep the characters look on the tiles.  Next time I would just stamp one side and as deep as possible.  Like somebody has previously stated, some of the tiles you can hardly read because they aren't deep enough.  (which is pretty bad, since the information is what is really important about a cryptosteel).

There is also a need for tile blanks in the kit (which can be single stamped tiles flipped over).  I think the only "blank" available was a tile that was stamped with the Trezor symbol, which is unacceptable. I would also build it to allow for one blank tile between each 3 or 4 letters of each word for easier readability.

I would also label the individual word areas 1-24 versus 1-12 on each half.

The mechanism itself is pretty cool, but overall, I wouldn't recommend the product and give it a 5 out 10.  If the tiles were easier to read then of course the score would be much higher.

Thanks for the update. There's still hope for the rest of us in the US that ordered during the kickstarter 

I wanted to let everyone know that I received mine today that I ordered during the kickstarter.  I live in Tennessee in the good ole United States of America.  It was return addressed from Canada.

Thanks, Cryptosteel!

Yes 120 units are lost> more about this incident you can read here > https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/cryptosteel-the-ultimate-cold-storage-wallet/x/9994497#/updates
We do not have a clue what happen. Not only units shipped to North America was lost. Also several units shipped to Israel, Asia and Oceania.
We are waiting for a National Post reply on our official complaint.

This is the main reason why have a storeroom in Canada now.

great product. will buy one.

What?! You lost your first 120 units (crowd sale units) in the post?

How does that happen? Do you think it was by malicious intent? US government/customs? Is that why you are shipping from Canada now?

@cryptosteel  , glad to see this problem is now solved.. i didn't realised the problem was so hard..

anyway good luck with your business ! keep on good work man ! 

After six weeks of paper work we have finally established our storeroom in Ontario, Canada, close to the US border town of Buffalo.
Our new delivery chain is up and running and, in addition to the 52 units that are already in Canada and ready to be dispatched this week, 100 North American Early Birds Pledgers can expect to receive their cold wallets soon!

Furthermore, the resolution of the EU export issue has at last enabled us to return our focus to the production and development of Cryptosteel.
The response that we have received from those pledgers in possession of their Cryptosteels has been overwhelmingly positive and it is ultimately that appraisal which motivates us to keep pushing forward.

***
Regarding criticism of our decision to cooperate with SatoshiLabs and to sell Cryptosteel units directly at www.buyTrezor.com this was the only means through which the company could recover financially after the loss of 120 units (plus delivery costs) last month.

The circumstance surrounding the disappearance of the wallets has yet to be clarified (we have filed an official complaint with the Polish postal service, with whom they were initially dispatched); however, the loss of that shipment posed an existential threat to the company.
Without the generous support of SatoshiLabs we could not only have lost our business, but it would have been extremely difficult for us to provide for the refunding of outstanding pledgers.

Finally, several private messages were bounced. Please add "Cryptosteel(-at-)cryptosteel.com" to your white list, to facilitate our communication.

Thank you @Bigtimespaghetti for your kind feedback - indeed, we initially designed container in that manner that you could split it into two parts - mutli-sig.(*)
Your sentence is always protected by two independent locks, two pawls and racks. Once filled with letter tiles, and closed - Cryptosteel becomes "solid as" a homogeneus steel bar.


*(This depends of the types of private keys you are using. This feature is not yet finished, in development.)

Yes! It is even better! Maybe your order was not lost in delivery. Please PM me and I will check it quickly.

Today, we shiped first 50 units to Canada. Delivery is now in transit. As soon as we cross the border - duty and tax - we will let you know
We now have a warehouse located near Ontario/Buffalo with cooperative company.
It will be only Early Birds 20 for Canadians, and 30 for US citizens.

I ordered 2 from the original pre-sale (I think they were early birds) and I live in the USA. Still no tracking or anything. Is this normal?

Received mine this morning (Netherlands). Nice little piece of kit. Although the letter tells you to attempt to break it, I'm not sure that's a good idea, I feel like I could probably bend the hinge enough by hand to really mess up the mechanism!

Better late than never. Thanks for pulling through guys.

You now have the green light for canada ?? That mean I will not receive my cryptosteel soon I guess.
Do you have a estimated delivery date  ?

Been a long time since I bought this. 

Hello BoomRoom,

Yes, indeed you must have an early-made unit (probably from the prototyping pool).
Now, since our tools are run in - it is working as designed.



I am also pleased to announce that I have a green light for exporting to Canada.
I will soon make a official release. New delivery bridge is almost set.
Just in time with @OpenBaazar!

I got a cryptosteel with my metal TREZOR  they're worth the wait, although it was difficult to pull apart. It says to use a tile but I ended up using a screwdriver.
