Antwort auf: Frage zu Ledger-Flüchtlingen
Thanks for everyone’s thoughts. I received my Model T yesterday and „recovered“ my original 24 word seed phrase. I could change to a new seed phrase later if I thought it was necessary; but as things stand now I think Ledger has not compromised it.
The fact that I have it memorized was a big factor in the decision. I do have physical backup of course… just paper, but in a fire-proof safe . Also I have had most of my btc on a passphrase-protected wallet „on“ the Ledger device. I will gradually move the bulk of that to a new passphrase-protected account on my Trezor. I am also awaiting delivery of a Blockstream Jade wallet. If it arrives then I will create yet another passphrase wallet on it, and move a portion of my coins there. So I will have some diversification.
I will keep a small amount in the original 24 word wallet. If it disappears then I can shuffle all funds from the passphrase wallets to a completely new wallet with a new seed phrase.
I’m an old guy trying to keep things simple. Having the seed phrase memorized seems like a good thing to me. When I set up the Trezor I wrote the words on a piece of paper from memory and got it right. I know it has risks; but I like the fact that I can get on a plane and land anywhere, buy a wallet and have access to my coins. And, at my age, a brain tumor would most likely be game over.
