I agree, we have really tried to make seedsafe as simple as possible to use, but also working hard to reducing elements and parts to make the flow and steps in the production process to an absolute minimum through countless attempts and iterations over the years. The specific12Z (zodiak) version is an enigma wrapped in a riddle, but for a good reason. The thought is to focus on making it a _backup_ as in something you go back to in order to verify something. Meaning, by design, supporting the user to actually remember the number sequence (a.k.a. Brain Wallet) by associating numbers to the zodiac _symbols_. You do not even need to remember the sequence or order (these will never change as the constellations are sequenced in order over time across the night sky over the duration of a year) as long as you feel comfortable remembering and associating your unique number (bip-0039 index) with for example the aquarious _symbol_ and so on, this is very easy for the brain to do. We’re generally quite good at this kind of association. That was the basic idea anyway.
The nice thing about the newly added seedsafe is the process of how it is created. The experience of the Swedish hand manufacturing and detailing on the product is beautiful. It takes time to grasp why this is the backup for cypherpunks. The special zodiac edition makes it even more obscure if someone would ever find it.
I love that there is no way to directly picture your backup instantly. And the constellation idea is just mind bending.
How will we remember our “seed” in the future? Will your grandchildren learn the pattern by heart in combination with the words? Or just the pattern?
