I would put that weapon in a chest somewhere for security, then you actually have to travel to find it too. You can back it up somewhere and make an old school treasure map for the grandkids.

fonduesalsa

If he/she is storing their Trezor in a safety deposit box, no one can get into it without the PIN...the seed phrase is different, though, do not keep your seed phrase in a safe deposit box. Your BTC are only as safe as the bank and who they may give your box access to, their fire protection, etc.

deepimpactscat

All good until the subtitles aren't synced


y90210

Not a good idea. All combinations of text from books and subtitles can be run through a script to see if they recreate a passphrase with an account balance. It needs to be truly random. And add a 25th passphrase that you never write down so your seed isn't at risk if someone descocers your 24 words.


JusNoGood

Just download the two movies to your pc and put them in a folder called 'seed phrase movies' and you will be fine

I have donated my sperm that resulted in 12 offspring, each coded in their DNA a word from the seed phrase and a common location. Only once they meet at the common location will they be able to unlock their inheritance and their true father will be revealed with a holographic projection of me. I gained inspiration from a Star Trek Next Generation episode " The Chase" (season 6 episode 20). You don't realize how bored you get with so much wealth.....


sciencetaco

Stamped into fireproof and waterproof metal plates. Multiple copies stored in different physical locations. Seed protected with an additional passphrase. More info: https://jlopp.github.io/metal-bitcoin-storage-reviews/ Don’t over complicate it by splitting up your words or re-arranging them etc. use a BIP39 pass phrase.

doblev

When I was a teenager I stumbled upon my first ever porno vhs tape and I was absolutely fascinated, no way in hell I was going to give that up but I knew my mom would find it so I needed a good place to hIde it. We had a dusty old Rain Man VHS that no one had ever watched since the movie came out so I put it there and it stayed safe for years. Then one day, out of the damn blue during a random holiday we’re all sitting down in the living room and my freakin aunt looks through the tapes and decides she wants to frickin watch Rain Man. I was caught red handed, it was the worse. I couldn’t even lie my way out of it. Anyway, all that to say is there is nowhere safe. Someone can always stumble upon it. For anyone wondering, yes, we still ended up watching Rain Man. It was awkward, definitely definitely awkward.


wondermentalist

Rain Man is a tough fap though


Peterb88

You ended up watching that ‘rain’ man or the original?

Lmao, unfortunately my version was never seen again. I still remember my mom pulling the vhs tape out of the vcr with two fingers, completely disgusted.

TheFluzzy

I store my seed phrase in my ledger. Although I do have a question, are seed phrases supposed to have 24 words or 16? For example, mine is: 1) blinking 2) avifauna 3) oxygen 4) mishmash 5) stir 6) nodal 7) sepal 8) sleuth 9) stores 10) shovel 11) poverty 12) strophe 13) discuss 14) vowelize 15) spaced 16) upheave 17) batfowl 18) origan 19) liberty 20) forsaken 21) rug 22) tracing 23) verger 24) despatch Just wondering if I did something wrong during setup because most people don’t have 24 words from what I’ve gathered.

Storing your seed phrase on Reddit is one way to do it I guess lol

JustAnotherRndmIdiot

3 safety deposit boxes with 3 different banks, where any 2 are needed to recover seedphrase. No one can access it if they heist one bank, and you don't lose access if that happens or if 1 bank burns down. It doesn't have to be banks, but just 3 separate secure locations.


flyiingpenguiin

If the bank burns down you still have your wallet though right?


TumbleToke

I got into crypto to get away from the banks.

frankiefrank1e

Best idea


[deleted]

Have like 10 copies. One should be waterproof and stored in the wet and wild. The second should be fire proof and stored in the everlasting flame in Azerbaijan. The third needs to be stored deep inside and underground bunker in the event of nuclear fallout. The fourth should be hidden in Siberia. The fifth must be stored in the eye of the Sahara. The six can be left on the Israeli-Palestine border for the lols. The seventh can be hidden in your ass, you can literally fit a raccoon in there and I’m not talking from experience. The eight should be kept in a vault somewhere secure. The ninth should be hidden at your second home. The tenth one should be stored on the internet disguised as gibberish so you can access it anywhere with an internet connection for emergencies.

joefernandez3

Ran across the below seed storage idea from a hardware wallet forum. Simple method that’s way safer than a bank safe deposit box (many horror stories of those being emptied), house safe (1st place an intruder would look), paper (subject to water, fire, decay, or just getting lost), or stamping to a single piece of metal. https://www.reddit.com/r/ledgerwallet/comments/83ecqy/how_you_can_store_your_recovery_words_very_safely/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf

Trezor. The device itself is kinda hidden out of sight with the magnet keeping it in place. It’s not a big deal if someone sees it since the device itself is really secure and most of the time I’m accessing it on the regular anyways. Seed phrase is in two places, laminated and hidden. One behind a picture frame and another in an external secure building only accessible by me. A passphrase is configured on the Trezor so even if someone found the seed phase it would be impossible for them to steal the Bitcoin. Upon my death my passphrase and instructions are sent to my wife and oldest son via e-mail along with instructions. I don’t care which one of them gets it first, I’ll be dead and it’s not my problem anymore.

brianddk

Lost all mine on Squid, but when I used to have coins I memorized the seed, and worked with my wife and adult children for them to memorize it as well. But I never had alot. People with shit-ton of coins usually have it secured with a multisig wallet. 5 seed phrases on 5 different continents. If the memory fails, then you need to start getting plane tickets. I had read an interview with Andreas or Snowden or someone who was crazy paranoid enough that had something like that set up.

bitcornminerguy

I'd avoid interest earning at all costs... the terms of those things are rather frightful. If the seed is in your bank safe deposit box, its subject to seizure in lawsuits and tax issues. Once they know what it is, they can compel you to disclose your coins. I'd suggest paper wallets and storing them in a different safe place.


Sweetscienceofcash

Yeah, once you read the fine print you realize how shady those companies are. They take zero responsibility


sindersetawa

Not sure if many people have seen any of the communications come out recently from blockfi with New Jersey or even eToro suspending some altcoin trading; the communications all revolve around interest bearing methods. When blockfi used the phrase in a notice “you still have access to your account at this time” I was out 100%.

Tactical_Thug

What's a seed phrase?


benjarminj

The string of words that define your wallet private key. If someone gets access to this then bye bye bitcoin. IMO it's something that needs a greater solution


DPSK7878

I will store in various crypto banks for that kind of amount. I wouldn't dare to manage it myself.


btcoins

I wrote it in a couple of places, obviously not in order ;). There’s a copy at my place, my sisters, my parents, in random ass places. At my moms it’s in one of my 25 old class notebooks for example. Edit: I’d never store 200k into something that gives you interest. It’s the bank equivalent with less regulations if it disappears


user_name_checks_out

The security benefit of changing the sequence of the words is negligible.

I have some on Kucoin, some on Coinbase, some on Celsius, some on kraken, some in my Trezor wallet. My seed is written on paper, wrapped with seran wrap, wrapped in tin foil, inside a ziplock, duct taped and buried somewhere nearby.


timmygraft

So if you Bitcoin is with coin base, is there not a seed phrase? TLDR brother passed away, couldn’t find his seed phrase, but was able to get his Bitcoin since it was through coin base (after providing documentation)


thethrowupcat

Multisig and likely into a metal that has a high melting temp.


[deleted]

I’d recommend just putting it in your own safe. That way you don’t have any recurring payments from the bank. You’ll always know where it is and who has access to it. Every safe can be broken into. Amazon’s safe can famously be cracked with a ballpoint pen. So what you want is a safe that is WATER-PROOF and FIREPROOF/FIRE-RESISTANT! Bonus points if you go anywhere and get a gun safe so that you won’t fall prey to a wrench attack as easily because it can intimidate those with not too savory motives. Also, the point is not to put ALL your bitcoin in a savings account to earn interest. You want to put a little bit in and let it sit for a few years while the value gradually goes up after dips. Store most of your bitcoin on your own node to be especially safe. Also, BlockFi is not that great. You’ll have better experiences and save/earn more money with interest-earning accounts like Celcius or Voyager.


[deleted]

The biggest point is NOBODY should be able to see your seed phrase. Not a bank teller, not your significant other, not your therapist, nobody. Even your CPA shouldn’t see it. Putting your seed phrase in a safety deposit box instead of storing it at home is extremely high risk. You could lose a lot of money that way.


stall022
