Just tested my entire custody schematic a month ago. Felt amazing running through key recovery / verification and verifying signer functionality / wallet software integration. I’m ready.

My man.

Your initial note is a great PSA. I was literally losing sleep not knowing if my setup was fully functional end-to-end. Verified and now I’m sleeping good again.
For sure. It's easy to go for years without testing and it regularly and I think a lot of people set themselves up for unnecessary losses by doing that.
I think an annual check should be considered a minimum for peace of mind.
