3. USB Binding (Recommended) #

  • Select “Bind to USB Drive.”

  • Wallet becomes accessible only with the specific USB used during binding.
  • Binding is secured via fingerprinting: SHA-256(DriveSerial + VolumeLabel)

⚠️ Pro Tip (BootVault):

Before attempting first-time setup, ensure that the XColdPro software has been correctly installed following the steps outlined in the Software Installation Guide. Only proceed once installation is complete, as skipping these steps may result in setup failure or security vulnerabilities.
