KeepKey

As a longtime bitcoin enthusiast, KeepKey first caught my attention in 2016 after I heard about some of its unique features on a bitcoin-related podcast. I didn't consider buying one at the time as I already owned a Trezor and I assumed KeepKey would be redundant and unnecessary. That assumption turned out to be wrong. Fast forward to today and KeepKey is now my favorite hardware wallet, hands down. I would recommend KeepKey to both new and advanced users alike. The KeepKey Client currently supports bitcoin, litecoin, dogecoin, ethereum, and dash. All of your accounts are visible in an intuitive, user-friendly interface, and for each coin you can create as many accounts as you wish. What separates KeepKey from Trezor is not only the lineup of alt-coins it supports, but the built-in ShapeShift integration which allows you to exchange/trade coin pairings within the app itself. This streamlined process allows you to effortlessly shift between coins with confidence, knowing your KeepKey secures your funds on both ends of the transaction. More PROS: --the device is sturdy and robust; large enough that you won't forget it's in your pocket. --KeepKey has a larger display screen with a more readable font (as compared to trezor's smaller screen and little font that can be difficult to read). --KeepKey looks sharp. It has a sleek design; yet it's inconspicuous from the layman's point of view (resembles a new external hard drive). --simplicity of navigating the user interface makes it a great device for beginners; the multitude of features available makes it a great device for advanced users. CONS: --the KeepKey launcher extension should be included with KeepKey client app, so users only have one item to download. --BTC balance should also show the USD equivalent, so the present value of one's holdings is clear. --cannot remove old accounts from view. In my opinion, KeepKey is the best hardware wallet on the market to date. It has something for everyone. I wouldn't hesitate to buy one for a tech-challenged baby-boomer parent who wants to buy and hold, then secure and forget. Nor would I hesitate to buy one for a tech-savvy friend who holds several different alt-coins and trades them frequently. KeepKey is a steal at $99 and offers tremendous value at that price point. Get yours while you still can. You'll be happy you did!

You really should worry about storing you crypto-currency at a third party, i.e. any online wallet, or a wallet on your connected laptop or device. The KeyKeep is the perfect solution, a secure hardware wallet for your bitcoin. The product is well made, robust, and works flawlessly. The "leather" slip-case that ships with it, btw, is not for the device. It is the place you store the card onto which you must write the secure phrase that you are give when the device is initialized. Write it down by hand, out of sight of cameras of any kind, and find a secure place to store it. This security phrase is essential for you to recover the coins on your KeyKeep if you loose it or it is stolen. You will almost certainly be asked to update the software on the device immediately. You should do all firmware updates as they become available. I have a few constructive comments, but I will limit myself to one just now. I understand that integration with other wallets may be helpful, I don't care, but it would be nice if you could plug the device into your smartphone or tablet so that you may use it on the go. Install the simple application in the Chrome browser, the installed app will be on the right side of your browser address toolbar. The wallet is very simple and easy to operate. Appropriate links take you to a variety of block chain and bitcoin services.

I originally loved my KeepKey (even kept my original review below), but since they migrated to ShapeShift as the only means to manage one's device, they have become terrifyingly unreliable and do not allow easy and consistent access to your crypto. I logged on to ShapeShift this morning and it showed that my wallet had been disconnected. I went through the process of reconnecting the device, but when I did it showed my entire BTC wallet empty. This platform does not make recovery easy, but when I finally figured out where to go, this buggy platform wouldn't even allow me to input my recovery words; they just won't populate no matter if I try to use their on screen keyboard or my hardware one. I even tried 3 different browsers and get the same issue in all of them. As of now, I have no access to my crypto, the buggy platform that is required to use this hardware wallet will not allow for recovery, and now I am worried that I will have to go to Exodus or something to recover my former KeepKey wallet, then spend MORE money to buy a Trezor or other hardware wallet to transfer it all into to actually have a reliable wallet. I never had any of these issues when we still had a KeepKey desktop client, but now it is so severely unreliable that I have no way to access my coins despite having my recover words readily available. DO NOT buy a KeepKey if you want to have reliable and consistent access to your cryptocurrency. ORIGINAL REVIEW: Great so far. I use mine to store Bitcoin and Ethereum. It has a very user friendly interface, set up is incredibly easy, it feels sturdy, and so far I have had no problems at all. Transfering coin to and from the device is very easy via that software or browser extension interface on my PC. I invested in a steel passphrase hardwallet for a safe back-up just in case this fails, but that is smart to do with any electornic wallet, as technology is far from infallible or invincible. This thing is incredibly secure, basically serves as multi-factor authentication, as you ahve to be able to see the outbut on the KeepKey screen, know your pin, and be able to input the pattern associated with your pin on the PC interface. It also does not require a technicaly background to operate, so I am not sure were the negative reviews come from saying that it is difficult to use or confusing. Bottom line: This is a perfect wallet for storing the compatible crypto currencies, it is very very secure, and worth every penny.

Io mi ci trovo molto bene. L'ho comprato per non dover lasciare criptovalute su sistemi online, e soprattutto per avere indirizzi anonimi. Con questo wallet potete archiviare le crypto più comuni (btc, eth,...) così come tutte quelle di tipo ERC-20. Facile da usare (se si sa cosa è). Inoltre il supporto funziona benissimo per qualsiasi problema rispondono in giornata. Così come mi trovo bene con i servizi collegati di shapeshift.

To keep the bit coins secure.

O produto é excelente, e chegou conforme prometido. Foi entregue mais de 1 mes antes do previsto, podem confiar.

My partner and I purchased this to keep our crypto-currencies safe, as we were newbies venturing into the world of crypo-currencies and wanted to take every precaution to ensure our currencies were safe whilst learning. I get peace of mind knowing once disconnected, it was safe and we didn't have to worry about hacking whilst it was offline.
