If we are to expect mass adoption, that uneasiness has to change.
Our goal is to promote acceptance and introduce simplicity to the one thing that will save your ass when your wallet fails, your recovery seed.
We're sharing a clean, permanent, and professional way of storing your wallet recovery seed phrase on a durable, long lasting material.
Using an automatic center punch (an easy tool that creates dimples in strong materials) you create a series of physical, permanant indentations on the plate to represent each letter/word of your mnemonic 12-24 recovery phrase.
A video of this in work: https://youtu.be/Mzt1ztX-_xE
Made of 304 stainless steel.
Specifically for the BIP39 English wordlist. (using the first 4 unique letters of each word to minimize size)
Each Blockplate stores 12 words (6 on the front, 6 on the back, again to minimize size).
The grid is physically engraved into the plate.
Both sides can be safely punched without damaging the other due to the thickness (12 gauge) and hardness of the stainless steel.

We feel this is easier, simpler, and less intimidating than other methods (like metal stamping) and hope that it's a step in the right direction for cryptocurrency to be a regular, everyday thing.
Currently, we're doing an early pre-sale 2-pack (that includes x2 plates for up to 24 words) for our first batch that we expect to ship in March 2018. A center punch is included free with every order. Given that this is our first batch, it's limited to US shipping only. We'd like to work out international shipping logistics first to prevent losing units in transit.
This is the beginning and we hope to grow along with the community and the need for crypto-security. We'd love any input and support (even just mentioning us to a friend!).
Thank you for reading and if you have any other questions, let us know here or feel free to email us at info@blockplate.com
Thanks again!
UPDATE: We tested fire tested the Blockplate in a two part series: https://www.blockplate.com/pages/blockp ... and-burned
Part 1 (Torched) consists of applying a direct, extremely high temperature flame (about 3600 F) to its surface
Part 2 (Burned) simulates your typical house fire (1100 F) where a Blockplate is exposed to prolonged high temperatures and flames.
UPDATE 2: We have less than 25% of our early pre-sale inventory left! Thank you to everyone who purchased, shared, commented, and even just took the time to take a look.
