Who this is

Guntis Vitolins sells mining hardware. Mineshop.eu lists him as managing director, says it was founded in 2016 with headquarters in Ireland, and counts more than 90,000 miners sold. The YouTube channel is his, with reviews of miners and a running series on the 10 ETH challenge: six seed words somewhere in one video, six in the blog post it links, word 12 a tropical bird, word 1 Netherlands. The rules get pasted into the description of video after video, years on, which is how you know the wallet is still his.

What the record says

The shop's About page for who he is and what the company is. One video description for the rules, dated by the video, because the description is where he keeps restating them. The channel and the shop are the profiles. The X handle is the one the shop's own page tags.
