Adding one more collection of Nano Ledger X (Betnomi) purchased from GazetaBitcoin.

Looks like the devices Betnomi is/was giving away in their free raffles. Is it?
Whatever you do, don't upgrade to the latest firmware to install the seed-sharing code.

But will NOT updating the firmware to the latest version help? We don't know if this feature was built or was not into earlier versions a hundred to one.

I can't say for sure, but perhaps NOT using ledger live will also help minimize the chance of losing the seed phrase.

In general, this is a rather bold act after all the unpleasant events to buy a Nano Ledger X. Perhaps following certain precautions will allow you to safely use this device.

Does the cover of the Nano S in your picture have a pinkish color, or is that a reflection from your computer screen, background, or something?
This is your fourth HW you have posted a picture for. That makes you the leader in this category. Wink

As far as I know, the metal part on the ledger is made of stainless steel, on which text and pictures are engraved without applying paint.

It's the Betnomi logo but it knows light reflections so it can't be seen clearly. Cheesy

This is the box received before unpacking.

I probably would not have opened the package and kept the personalized device from the Betnomi company as a collector's item. I probably will when I win a similar box (if I ever win at all)

.

In general, I expected that this topic could turn into "Show off your broken by hammer hardware wallet".

GazetaBitcoin won a free raffle sponsored by Betnomi he had some hardware he won he offered it to me then I bought it. Very happy to deal with him. Wink

I certainly will never be using it. But I was hoping that someone here had used it before or at least knew of it.

I don't think you will have much luck in that department. When Google struggles finding any newsworthy information about it, I doubt you will find people with any experience with that particular brand on the forum. It's worth a try though.
Maybe you can send it to hardware hacker Joe Grand and have him work on it trying to break it and check it for vulnerabilities.

I've got a few other wallets I use or have used yet to post, will do when I get a chance to dig them up.

Sure. I am interested in what else you have, especially if it's something I have never seen before like this Crypto Guard thingy.

It's interesting that the Crypto Guard box refers to the device as a hardware wallet, while the site you linked to calls it a device for password-protecting private keys. I guess it can be considered as both. it generates its own public and private key pairs, but the question is how secure all that is? Despite not being expensive, it's safe to say that the device never became popular, as there is almost no information about it anywhere.

OP- what are your exact plans for this "project"...to just list recommended wallets? Might be nice to have a section for wallets NOT recommended?

The idea was never to offer a list of recommended or non-recommended wallets. There are already such collections, like Ratimov's [BIG LIST] Hardware wallets (80+) or our regularly updated Croatian version, [VELIKA LISTA] Hardverski novčanici (80+). I was just interested in finding out what hardware wallets users of Bitcointalk use, why, and how they look.

What is that thing even? Somehow it seems that it is only a password protected USB Drive, that has some kind of software on it?
In any case it is a very cool collectors item and one of the hardware wallets the average user should clearly avoid.

I've got other wallets I'll share with you soon to help build your list. Still kinda need to know your criteria, but I'm happy to start helping lend a hand with this..I like the idea of what you're doing here!

All I can remember is it came from Germany and is a USB stick of some sort, with a page of directions written in German. Another eBay find years back.

Perhaps there's a logo or something on the direction page that could help us trace it back to its origin...

I did manage to find an inactive crypto-related website with that name, but it used to sell one of those metal backup plates ^{[I couldn't find an earlier archive version from the time you purchased it, but perhaps they were selling such things in the past]}:

MyCryptoGuard.com ^{[it's being redirected from CryptoGuard.me and they seemed to be from Switzerland and AFAIK, German is one of its official languages (does any of these websites ring any bells?)]}

I have a “master list” thread here buried in collectibles sub, it was for all things collectibles and one of my lists on is hardware wallets. I think my list was up to 40-50 links to different wallets.

Unfortunately, it doesn't mention anything about Crypto Guard: Collectibles/Wallets/NFTs/News- Master Website List

From my ebay "buy again" list.. (nothing safer they say lol)

I've invested some time looking for anything related with this wallet and the only thing that I was able to find out is this[1] ebay.nl listing showing the same product that Chi purchased:

Sadly the listing doesn't exists anymore, and I'm not able to find the listing seller as there isn't any archived page on WayBackMachine as well...

Im no Mr Robot, as much as I wish I was! So it very well may have been a scamming tool. I will certainly not be sticking it in any pcs of mine (maybe my work pc..kidding).

Since I have no idea if it's a genuine hardware wallet or not and Google doesn't either, I am going to remove it from the table for everyone's sake. I don't want its name up there with real hardware wallets so as not to give anyone any wrong ideas.

If eBay didn’t decide to once again highly limit your purchase history, I’d happily tell you what I paid. I know absolutely nothing about it. I of course never used it, but I was an idiot and plugged it in my pc just to see if it lit up. Thankfully I never used that pc for anything sensitive.

Wait, is that Crypto Guard some sort of fake/scam device or what am I missing. Was its whole purpose to infect a computer, steal sensitive information, etc.?

Quote from: ChiBitCTy on April 21, 2023, 11:26:20 AM

Few fake Trezors (I don’t own them but figured I’d share).

I have seen pictures of those before. I think those mini Trezors are Russian. Allegedly, they are based on Trezor's original code, but who knows if that is true or not. They might be genuine cheap copies of Trezor One's for the Russian market, but they may as well have malicious code in them. I have no idea if anyone ever checked the code of those devices in depth.

I posted those fake (and yes Russian) wallets to the Trezor sub Reddit several years back. I’d love one for my collection, but of course I don’t support that bs. I also remember reading it apparently had their same code, but yeah who knows nor does it really matter right,

Edit : damn, can’t find shit on crypto guard via google either. I’ll have to ask Charlie about it again. I have a “master list” thread here buried in collectibles sub, it was for all things collectibles and one of my lists on is hardware wallets. I think my list was up to 40-50 links to different wallets. I haven’t updated it in a few years , but I know at this point there’s been several hundred hardware wallets made (tho imo it’s Trezor or Cold Card ftw)

Same here... It reminded me of the good old days when block erupters were still a thing... I had no luck finding anything about it, but it looks exactly the same as this "crystal USB flash drive". Does it also glow when it's connected?

I’ve got a decent collection of them and one I just spent an hour trying to find that I bet no one here has seen before but I can’t find the damn thing. It’s the strangest HWW I’ve ever seen.

Here’s my two most unique ones outside of that one that escapes me atm.

I showed the BTC/LTC one to Charlie Lee and I believe he said he’d never seen it, so probably pretty rare. The other is one of if not the biggest crypto ponzi ever. Pretty sure bigger than bitconnect etc. Partially why I don’t like Ledgers..have some integrity and take 5 seconds to see if the coin you’re making a wallet for is a scam or not. It’s incredibly easy to spot them, as many of you surely know.
