F.A.Q.

What happens if I lose my Card?

If you lose your card, you can have it replaced for a small fee and recover your stored assets with your seed phrase and pin. A lost card is useless to anyone else due to 2FA authentication requirements. Assets can be recovered manually by using the mobile or desktop application and manually entering your seed phrase, which can then be synced to a new replacement hard wallet, and pushed back to cold storage on the card.

How does Open Transaction Technology work?

A custom bitcoin client is run which provides a new "baselayer" connection to bitcoin blockchain payment codes (QR codes), replacing wallet addresses (which can still be used), and protecting your wallet identity and balances. Someone cannot see your wallet address unless you have transacted with them directly. Additionally, you can set your wallet to automatically and periodically push assets to new wallet addresses, further protecting your identity.

Is the Cold Storage Card 2FA tied to my cellphone?

No, nothing is tied to your cell phone SIM card. Traditionally, this can be an attack vector. Your Accel Card uses combines a 4-6 digit PIN + biometric authentication (optional). A hacker must have a combination of your cellphone + cold storage device + PIN + biometric authentication + password to access stored assets.

How secure is NFC?

Cold Storage Cards use NFC to communicate between the card and the chip in your cellphone. This communication is direct and secure, providing no additional interface or attack vector. Simply tap your card to your cellphone, and enter your PIN and biometric authentication to bring your private keys warm (online). Once you have transmitted your assets, you then must tap your card to your cellphone a second time to push the private keys back offline and into the cold storage card. Again, a hacker would need your cellphone + cold storage card + PIN + biometric authentication + password to access stored assets.

Can these cold storage wallets be hacked?

Again, no. Cold storage wallets cannot be bump or scan hacked. Your cold storage card contains 600 separate seeds (blockchain wallet accounts) for added security and privacy.
