That metal is 1 point of total failure. Why do that?

Then what else? What would you use?

Get yourself a SeedSigner setup, make sure to buy or print out those cards they sell for the Seed Phrase/ SeedQR.

Setup a Multisig for testing purposes.

Test it well, be thorough & ask me for help when you need it.

Once you have this setup you will be able to assess what will work best for you - but if you're always wondering or nervous you'll never do anything.

This first setup is a test wallet to keep around & practice.

I'm gonna have to do that actually. I'll try it with an small amount and get used to it so I get comfortable with multi Sig. Thanks man.

Yes! Awesome, I'm excited for you to try it out.

πŸ‘πŸ‘It's actually very interesting to learn about, makes you more comfortable and not soo techie! I'm happy to help also!

Singlesig advocates always tell you to create a Passphrase, why?

This is because no matter how secure your Seed is there is a chance it can be compromised to a degree. This already gives you multiple secrets to hide separately & hopefully you have your seed words backed up in more than one location/copy.

If you have generational wealth to secure you're better off creating a 3of5.

3 unlocks the wallet, with 2 redundancies.

You store the wallet coordinator file with each seed, as well as storing a few copies on separate USB sticks at home - & in an encrypted email server like protonmail.

So you basically have 5 secrets to hide with a coordinator file to store which you will need.

Obviously this comes with complexity, but storing a shit load of money requires assurances.

As for the device,

If you have a SingleSig setup, why would you keep your private key active on a device with a pin you made up?

That's not secure obviously.

I say obviously, but most bitcoiners do it πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ.

I should add that single sig seeds being guessed or brute forced is a non issue for now.
