I always read about public keys,private keys and speedphrases that you need to store them in a paper wallet or hardware wallet. The only thing I ever stored are the passphrases (those 12 or 24 words) I get from metamask or other wallet provider in the beginning of creating a wallet. Is this enough when I write them down and secure them?

    Sorry but this is the most stupid thing I’ve heard regarding safeguarding crypto lol.

    Why not make an Ubuntu bootable USB, why windows 10?

    And even with your unnecessary method, your steps are wrong. You first need to send ETH to the address, verify it arrive and that you can send it back, and then you take out the hard drive.

    I could write a bible as to why your method is slow, unsecure and bad but I’m just gonna say that creating your seed in a hot wallet is a bad idea, there a bazillion ways you could get exploited. Buy a HW wallet, they’re literally $70 and will save you this pain in the ass PLUS being like 25 times more secure lol
