First Impression
ELLIPAL Titan Mini buy online
The ELLIPAL Titan Mini Hardware Wallet can be purchased online at ELLIPAL’s official website for 79,00 $ (click here to check the current price). Moreover, the hardware wallet is available at various retailers as well as Amazon.
Hardware Wallets should preferably be ordered directly from the manufacturer or official resellers if possible. Dubious stores or private sellers on platforms like ebay or amazon could manipulate the devices for their own purposes or trick the buyer. This way, the thieves can steal all the coins from your hardware wallet at a later time. Unfortunately, there have already been such cases in the past.
You can pay by credit card, PayPal or cryptocurrencies in the official manufacturer store. In addition, free shipping is offered here for orders of two or more items, which can take up to 10 days. For this reason, it can make sense to also order accessories like a backup product.
Unboxing
The box is a plain black cardboard box. Inside is the ELLIPAL Titan Mini hardware wallet, a small pouch for the wallet, the security adapter, a USB-C charging cable, a micro SD card, instructions, and the Seed Phrase notepad.
The mini version has a 2.4-inch touchscreen display with HD resolution. The device is made of metal and has a rounded shape that fits well in the hand. The dimensions are 75 x 71 x 10.5 mm and the weight is 120 grams. Due to the material and weight, the hardware wallet looks very valuable and robust.
The design is simple and elegant, with a silver case and a black border around the display. There is a QR code scanner on the back. Hardware Wallet ELLIPAL Titan Mini has a power button on the upper right side and a connector for the adapter next to it on the right corner.
The so-called safety adapter can be magnetically connected to the ELLIPAL Titan Mini and offers connections for the charging cable and the MicroSD card. This outsourcing of the connections means that the hardware wallet itself remains closed.
Setup
Never use a hardware wallet that is already set up. You must choose your own PIN code or password and do the backup yourself. This is not given by anyone!
Setting up ELLIPAL Titan Mini Hardware Wallet is relatively simple and takes only a few minutes. You need a smartphone with the ELLIPAL app, which can be downloaded for free from the Apple App Store or the Google Play Store. The app is compatible with iOS 9.0 or higher and Android 5.0 or higher. After installing the app, you have to create an account or log in with an existing account. Then you can connect the hardware wallet to the app by scanning the QR code on the back of the device. The app will then display instructions on how to set up the hardware wallet.
You must first choose a PIN code, which consists of six digits and should be remembered. Then you have to generate a recovery seed consisting of 12 or 24 English words, which you should also write down well and keep in a safe place.
Your Recovery Seed is the backup key to all your cryptocurrencies and apps. The Recovery Seed (backup) can only be viewed once. Never make a digital copy of the Recovery Seed and never upload it online. Keep the Recovery Seed in a safe place, ideally also safe from fire and water. Special backup products, for example Billfodl are suitable for this.
No one but yourself can be held liable for any financial losses caused by improper handling of sensitive data.
After confirming the recovery seed, the hardware wallet is ready for use.
Handling
The handling of ELLIPAL Titan Mini Hardware Wallet is very intuitive and user-friendly. The touchscreen display is responsive and shows all important information, such as account balance, transaction history, charges and network status.
When you play this YouTube video, data is transmitted to Google.
As the video shows, to send or receive a transaction, all you have to do is open the ELLIPAL app on your smartphone and select the appropriate option. Then you have to scan the QR code on the hardware wallet display to confirm the transaction. The hardware wallet then displays the details of the transaction, such as the address, the amount and the fee. To complete the transaction, you just need to enter the PIN code on the hardware wallet and scan the QR code again. The transaction is then processed on the network within a few minutes.
The hardware wallet also has a self-destruct feature that is activated when someone tries to open or hack the device. The hardware wallet then deletes all data and becomes unusable.

Security
Like any hardware wallet, ELLIPAL Titan Mini Hardware Wallet is preferable to any online wallet.
A hardware wallet is the most secure way to store cryptocurrencies. This is because these devices store the private keys that provide access to your cryptocurrencies. Only a hardware wallet can effectively protect private keys through numerous security measures. Even though all hardware wallets are considered very secure, there are small differences between each model. In addition, even with a hardware wallet, it cannot be 100% ruled out that a hacker can extract information with physical access with great effort.
The hardware wallet has several security features that protect it from physical and digital attacks. The hardware wallet does not have a WLAN, NFC, USB, cellular or Bluetooth interface like other hardware wallets but is a 100% offline cold wallet. Hardware Wallet communicates with the ELLIPAL app on the smartphone only via QR codes, which ensures a secure and encrypted connection. Except for the firmware update, which is possible via the security adapter using an SD card.
The hardware wallet has a PIN code and a recovery seed that are known only to the user and allow access to the cryptocurrencies.

The hardware wallet is extremely robust and has a self-destruct feature that is activated if someone tries to open or hack the device. The hardware wallet then deletes all data and becomes unusable. There is also an anti-tamper function that detects whether the device has been damaged or modified. In this case, a warning message is then displayed and further access to the cryptocurrencies is denied.
The hardware wallet also has an anti-theft feature that allows the device to be remotely locked or wiped if it is lost or stolen. All you have to do is open the ELLIPAL app on your smartphone and select the appropriate option.

FAQ 2
Ask your own questionWhat happens if the manufacturer Ellipal disappears from the market and the app is no longer available for download?
If the manufacturer Ellipal disappears from the market and the app is no longer available for download, users of the Ellipal app will no longer be able to download or update the app, and it is likely that the app will no longer function as intended. This could cause problems for users who rely on the app to access their cryptocurrency accounts, as they may not be able to access their funds without the app. It is always important to be aware of the risks associated with using any software or service and to have a plan for dealing with those risks. In the case of a cryptocurrency wallet, it’s a good idea to have a backup plan in case the app or service becomes unavailable. Therefore, you have your Recovery Seed.
How can I factory reset (completely erase) a Ellipal Hardware Wallet?
