Great review! What do you think of Charles Hoskinons video lecture on how to secure your recovery phrase? He doesnt store the seedphrase physically but encrypts twice and stores it on a password manager and gmail...He stores the backups on his password manager. I thought it was really bad practise...but would like to know what you think. Its 1 1/2 though ha

Yea the Cobo tab punch is a great deal. The advantage of this over previous cassette style devices is that the tiles are threaded in the core, so can't get mixed up. Overall, the pinch is great for seeds and sonething like this is ideal for something like a BIP39 passphrase.

"...and store that capsule in a secure place..." - therein lies the rub. You need to figure out where to store this thing so that someone cannot discover it and steal your crypto. if it is in a safe, safes can be broken into (with a torch, typically the best safes can only withstand about 30 minutes of that attack). Safety deposit box, you need to get to it and thus the bank has to be open and accessible. anywhere else, you need to be good at hiding it.

Firstly, I think most folk overestimate the risk of physical attacks like this when compared to the risk of screwing up some other backup method. That said, if you want to secure your physical backups, then adding a BIP39 passphrase does this very well. (Though should also be backed up, just not alongside your physical seed backup)

@CryptoGuide
3 жыл бұрын
For BIP39 seeds, you only need the first four letters, as every word in the BIP 39 list (only 2048 words long) is unique based off the first four letters. This is why most wallets only need you to enter, at most, the first four letters of each word. This property also holds true for the Spanish, French and Italian BIP39 word lists, though these lists are generally supported on fewer devices and wallets.

You can't dump the tiles out unless you remove the clasp at the top, which you don't need to do in order to read the words back. If you dump all the tiles out and they are totally mixed up, then you can't recover the correct order, the seed is lost.

18 out of 24 words is not recoverable, you need to know at least 21 out of 24 words (if you know the position of the words) or 22/24 if you are unsure where the missing two belong. You need to get looking for the rest of the words, until you find them, nobody can help you and anyone who says they can is a scammer. (6 missing words is too many...)

No-one can help you until you find at least 3-4 of the missing words... Secondly, if you have 24 words, but don't know their order at all, you can't descramble that without knowing the position of at least 12 of the words... Depending on where you got the seed from, an 18 word seed can actually be a valid BIP39 passphrase. Did the seed originally come from a Ledger wallet?
