Like my Bitcoin Wizard Mug, get one @ Amazon: https://amzn.to/2TP8aia BTCRecover on Github: https://github.com/3rdIteration/btcrecover Assisted Recovery Info: https://cryptoguide.tips/recovery-services-consultations/ I have heard of people adding extra words to their seed phrase backup as a way to try and protect it in the case that someone else finds it... The issue with this is that it actually doesn't increase security at all and that people also often forget the system that they used to add extra words... This video look at how to use BTCRecover to recover from the situation where you have additional seed phrase words and also the practical limits to doing this. --------------------- If you are new to Crypto, my suggestion is that you start with buying ~$150 worth of Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin @ Coinbase and get familiar with storing it, moving it around, etc. For your first purcahse, just stick with CoinBase: https://www.coinbase.com/join/5691c9d0a4c3a05dfa000151 For Trading, just start with Binance: https://www.binance.com/?ref=18111926 By sticking with large, reputable exchanges for your first purchase (Coinbase) and first trade (Binance) you can avoid getting scammed right at the start by purchasing a non-existing coin off a scammy exchange.

Buy a Cobo Table Punch: https://shop.cobo.com/https://shop.cobo.com/products/cobo-tablet-punch?rfsn=4279634.2a1347&utm_source=refersion&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_campaign=4279634.2a1347 Detailed features summary and scores for various seed storage mechanisms: https://cryptoguide.tips/seed-storage-comparisons/ In this video I have a quick look at the Cobo Tablet Punch, a metal seed storage mechanism. (It is very similar to a cryptosteel, Billfodl, etc) For $24 USD it does really well and would really lend itself to using for geographically distributed seed storage. (Similar to cryptosteel, billfodl, cryptotag) I was quite impressed with the product, it is made of stainless steel, compared to some cheap competitors which are made of aluminium...
