Antwort auf: Bewährte Praktiken zur Vermeidung von Räubern
The only way I can think of is adding a 25th (passphrase) word to your Ledger Nano device. The recovery phrase is is normally 24 words long.
The way it works:
– The 24 word recovery phrase is used to access the ‚regular‘ accounts.
– The 25th word (passphrase) is used to access the ‚hidden‘ accounts. As long as you do not mention anything about the 25th word, it is impossible for others to know that you have one.
– You add some crypto to your regular accounts. Just low amounts, something you can afford to lose. When you’re violently attacked, you give the 24 words, and let them access these funds.
– However, you also have your hidden accounts. These accounts are the main funds, and you protect them with the 25th word that only you know. When a robber uses violence, you do not mention or give them the 25th word, only the regular 24 words.
This way, the robber thinks he has robbed everything, but he did not have access to your 25th word, so your main funds are safe.
However, there is one downside: if you forget or lose your 25th word, you will not be able to access the main funds. So, make sure you know what you’re doing, make proper (paper) backups of your recovery phrase. AND ALWAYS: test first! If you’re going to use the 25th word, make sure to test first to see if you understand what’s going on. After everything is OK, you can move the funds to the hidden accounts.
Also: create a new regular (24 words) recovery phrase for your normal accounts. That way, you start with clean accounts without any transaction history.
