mm34505 Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Where do you guys store your recovery phase for your NANO S? I am just worried something could happen to the printed copy or the ink will fade etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sukrim Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Pencil or proper ink doesn't fade, make sure you use acid free paper and at least one other medium (e.g. wood, metal...) as well as 2-3 different physical locations. Natural disasters are a thing, as are house fires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I check it regularly and it is not at the same location as my Nano so if my house burns down, I will print it again. If my Nano burns down, I'll get a new Nano.

Not asking where yours is Well... maybe you could re-read your original question then. A little sense of humor also helps you through life sometimes. It really does... For the rest... apart from the fact that it is not exactly at the location I described, I told the truth. It is just printed on a piece of paper hidden somewhere in the house. My nano it somewhere else. The chance something happens to both at the same time is zero for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RippleEvangelist Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Use an offline computer to save the recovery phrase in a text file on an encrypted volume with a difficult enough passphrase. Unmount the volume and split the volume in two or three parts with an archiver. Then move each of the three parts to an online computer and save them to different cloud storage providers, Dropbox, Google Drive, etc. And remember to activate 2FA on the services.

I am just worried something could happen to the printed copy or the ink will fade etc I store my recovery in 4 different places, important is not to store the recovery the same place you store the nano s , so recovery phrase seem not related to a nano s. obviously I do not write " nano s , or worst: "nano s recovery" on the sheet where I have wrote the recovery words. Store Nano s device quite far away from the recovery sheet. also, store one recovery sheet in a fireproof box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BibleChronologyXRP Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 (edited) Funds are also recoverable if you only know 24 seed words , but you have to find a thief know what the 24 words are, I do not think usually an apartment mouse thief is also computer savvy and know about crypto, but I can be wrong.

I am just worried something could happen to the printed copy or the ink will fade etc Cheapest, easiest, and most reliable route: Buy a square piece of 16-gauge metal. 14 may work better. you want the letters to be deep in the metal, not just scratched on the surface but you don't want the metal to be so thin it can bend. Then buy this stamp set: https://www.amazon.com/TEKTON-6610-32-Inch-Letter-36-Piece/dp/B000NPUKY8/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1530300518&sr=8-2&keywords=alphabet+stamp+metal draw lines on the metal with a marker so your words are even. one option is to cover the metal with masking tape. this will give your stamps some grip when pounding. sheet metal is slippery. only do this if you're a perfectionist and want the end result to look as good as possible. Take a hammer, and pound your 24-word recovery phrase into the metal. Placing it on a block of wood is good, but putting it on top of something hard is better so that the imprints don't warp/curve the metal. remember, when you deform the metal through hammering, the residual metal which you pounded has to 'go somewhere' which can cause the metal to bend. You want it to stay as flat as possible. WEAR EAR PLUGS. use an alcohol wipe to remove lines / remove tape. wipe down with Goo Gone if necessary. You can bend it, drop it, throw it, paint it, drive over it, dog can chew on it, its big enough to not lose but small enough to hide. it will survive a house fire for endless hours, kids drawing on it, there are no moving parts, you don't need a key to open it, and there is no money trail that you purchased a cryptosteel. https://cryptosteel.com. i hate the crypto steel. its delicate. yes its metal, but it has more than one part to it which means it can break. it costs $100+. My route costs $16. Best option is to make two. hide one and put the other in the bank. Stamp 1 of 2 and 2 of 2 on both respectively AND include the date you created it!
