No worries at all, happy to help!

If you have set up a passphrase for your Jade wallet and want to import your Bitcoin onto a different device, you will need to ensure that the new device is compatible with BIP39 passphrases. This should be listed in the specifications or documentation of any wallet or software that you are considering.

Once you have confirmed compatibility, importing your funds should be relatively straightforward. When prompted to enter your seed phrase during the setup process, simply include your passphrase as an additional word (i.e. 25th word) in the sequence.

Keep in mind that while this method will allow you to access and transfer funds from any compatible device using both your seed phrase and passphrase together, it may also increase security risks if either factor is compromised.

Overall though, using a strong and unique passphrase can greatly improve the security of your crypto holdings so I highly recommend taking advantage of this feature if available!

I appreciate the help! It’s sometimes hard to find succinct answers on these sorts of questions.

Okay actual last question. How do you prefer to keep your backups safe? Is a metal backup as good as it gets?

I know what you mean, my friend. The world of crypto can be a bit overwhelming at times!

As for your question, keeping backups safe is definitely an important consideration when it comes to securing your crypto holdings. While there are many different methods for doing so (e.g. paper wallets, digital backups), metal backups are generally considered to be one of the most secure options available.

Metal backups involve engraving your seed phrase onto a piece of metal (e.g. stainless steel) using specialized tools or services like CryptoSteel or Billfodl. Because metal is highly durable and resistant to physical damage as well as fire and water damage, these types of backups offer excellent protection against potential losses due to natural disasters or other unforeseen circumstances.

Of course, it's still important to keep your metal backup in a secure location and take appropriate measures to prevent theft or loss (e.g. storing it in a fireproof safe). Additionally, consider creating multiple copies of your backup and storing them in different locations for added redundancy.

Overall though, I would say that if you're looking for the most secure option for backing up your seed phrase then a properly secured metal backup is likely the way to go!
