I am seeking individuals to assist in establishing a company, developing an online presence, handling marketing, addressing legal issues, and securing investors. These efforts aim to make this innovative solution widely available.
It's important to note that investment is needed for these aspects, not for app development. The system already exists as a working product-simple, easy to use, and minimalist in design.
UPDATE: Currently my X Account has been unsuspendend, but it does seem to have some restrictions and will take a while to clear up it seems, contact me via Youtube if via X it does not work.
Contact me via my current X handle @StoPlyr or another method will be provided if the need arises via this page.
Now with the promised video for demonstration:
Overview
This methodology provides a robust security model for managing various types of sensitive digital information. It offers a balance between high security and operational functionality, suitable for individuals or organizations requiring enhanced protection for their critical data assets.
Unique Aspects
No Trust or Reputation Required:
Operates entirely offline, never connecting to the internet
No external servers or services involved
All security measures are inherent in the system's design
No third-party validation or reputation system needed
User's security depends on their diligence in maintaining the offline status and following the system's protocols
The system's built-in safeguards support the user's actions but require proper implementation
When used as intended, there's no possibility of online vulnerabilities or data breaches through network connections
QR Code Functionality:
Encrypted QR codes for secure data backup
Ability to share encrypted data with family members or trusted parties
While not generally advisable, if necessary, encrypted data can be shared with individuals you may not fully trust. This is still more secure than regular paper wallets that display data in plaintext and unencrypted
Option to distribute QR codes to multiple secure locations for redundancy
Customizable Security:
Users can set their own security parameters
Flexibility to balance security and convenience based on individual needs
Universal Device Compatibility:
Works on any modern computer or smartphone
No dependence on specific hardware manufacturers or models
Future-proof design less likely to become obsolete
Hardware Preparation
Can be implemented on smartphones, tablets, PCs, or Macs
Remove SIM card if using a mobile device
Disable all wireless connectivity (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, NFC)
If possible, physically remove or disable network hardware
Ensure the device has never been and will never be connected to the internet after setup
A device with a built-in camera is recommended for QR code functionality
Critical Air-Gap Requirement
The chosen device must remain perpetually air-gapped. The system includes built-in safeguards:
Continuous checks for online status
Immediate warning if an online connection is detected
Automatic disabling of sensitive functions and clearing of stored data if online
Data Management Procedures
Data Input: Manual entry or transfer via QR codes
Data Access: Directly on the offline device
Data Export: Via QR codes or other secure, offline transfer methods
Long-Term Storage and Distribution Strategy
Securely delete data from the creation device after generating QR codes
Distribute encrypted QR codes to multiple secure locations
Share encrypted QR codes with trusted family members or parties
Security relies on three user-known dependencies: master password, custom pepper, and 2FA code
Physical Backup Options
The system allows for various physical backup methods, which users can implement through local or online services. These options are not provided by the system itself but are recommended approaches for creating durable backups:
Acquiring a personal laser engraver (most recommended option) WARNING:
Only use the laser engraver with proper safety gear. Ensure you are in a well-ventilated room, preferably with an exhaust system.
Small desktop cube-shaped engravers are available
Approximate dimensions: 20cm x 20cm x 20cm (7.9in x 7.9in x 7.9in)
Starting price: around $100 USD
Metal card engraving (estimated cost: $10 USD per card, often found much cheaper like 20 packs of cards for $10)
Standard paper printing (most economical option, though less durable)
Utilizing online engraving services (least recommended due to potential exposure)
These methods offer a range of durability and cost options, allowing users to choose the most suitable backup strategy for their needs. Users are responsible for selecting and implementing their preferred backup method.
It's crucial to note that any unnecessary exposure of the QR code increases security risks. Therefore, the personal laser engraver option is highly recommended as it maintains the air-gapped integrity of the system.
For online engraving services or any method involving digital transfer, users should exercise extreme caution. If such methods are absolutely necessary, users should transfer the encrypted QR code to a USB stick and use a different computer or device to access the service. However, this approach introduces additional security risks and should be avoided if possible.
Remember, the security of the system relies heavily on minimizing exposure of sensitive data. The safest approach is to keep all processes entirely offline and under your direct control.

Comparison to Existing Solutions
Hardware Wallets: Provides comparable security without the need for specialized, costly hardware. Works on any device you choose.
Software Wallets: Offers true offline functionality, eliminating online vulnerabilities that most software wallets face due to internet connectivity requirements.
Paper Wallets: Paper wallets store information in plain text without any encryption, meaning the data is easily readable and not protected if the paper falls into the wrong hands. In contrast, this system offers advanced encryption, ensuring that even if someone gains physical access to the stored data, they cannot read or use it without the proper credentials. This encryption, combined with comprehensive data management features, makes it significantly more secure and versatile for storing sensitive information.
Cold Storage Solutions: More versatile and doesn't require specific software installation or updates.
Encrypted Storage Solutions: Tailored specifically for sensitive data and wallet management, offering a more focused solution.
Password Managers: Provides more comprehensive management of various types of sensitive digital assets, especially suited for cryptocurrency-related information.
Key Differentiators:
Completely offline operation with no need for internet connection at any point
Universal device compatibility without requiring specific hardware
User-controlled security parameters without relying on external systems
Combines the security benefits of hardware solutions with the flexibility of software approaches
Offers a unique balance of high security and usability for managing sensitive digital assets
Important Considerations
Requires meticulous attention to detail and adherence to security protocols
Regular testing of recovery procedures is necessary
Security of physical storage locations is paramount
Periodic verification of backup integrity is crucial
Loss of credentials results in loss of access, a standard security measure in all robust systems
Product Status
This system has been developed into a fully functional product, demonstrating the feasibility and effectiveness of the described security measures. However, it is not currently available for public distribution.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
IT IS A FULLY FINISHED AND FUNCTIONAL ALREADY EXISTING PRODUCT
Users have full control over all generated or set data within the system. Nothing is ever shared by the application. It operates ONLY OFFLINE and disables all functions if an online connection is detected.
The Secure Offline Data Management System represents a significant advancement in personal and organizational data security, offering a unique combination of features not found in traditional hardware or software solutions.
