Has anyone tested the new ellipal titan mini wallet?
No I didn't test it, and I don't know anyone who purchased this wallet.
I think they have nice price, and they are one of the cheapest air-gapped devices, but offering one more closed source hardware wallet is not what I am looking for.
There are cheaper DIY open source alternatives that are also air-gapped, like SeedSigner or Krux, and Jade wallet will soon become airgapped with upcoming firmware update.
They were essentially marketing a mobile phone on flight mode as a hardware wallet. This is incredible amateurish, if not borderline scammy, and is enough to mean I will never touch one of their devices, even if they say they have improved on all these things. Also, it is closed source.
Yeah, they pretty much ruined their reputation with this amateur move, but they can always try to improve in future.
However, I don't see anything special with this new Ellipal Mini version, and it's part of my list of wallet manufacturers to be avoided, along with Safepal that is also coming from China.
