@devmobnow Try to remember twelve random words not selected by yourself. But can you forget the name of your first girlfriend, the place you first had sex, your social security number, the name of your children spelled backwards? There is a difference. One you have memorize. The other no.

All wallets depend on paper back-up. This is a major security flaw, no different than stuffing money under your mattress. Like trying to keep a receipt but stakes are much higher if you lose it. With https://t.co/ATFaxwUzQC all you need is your phrase stored in your brain.

@xristo_cRad Then you're fucked. But you're fucked anyway, with or without a wallet, if your brain doesn't work.

@isukanda As you wish. When dementia sets in, however, I doubt that you would have any concerns about a lost wallet.

@0xHyde @Bitfi6 I'm into improving security, providing the risks are real world. The FUD about man in the middle is so absurd that I will not consider it. Hijack a UPS truck? I'm sorry, the risk is infitessimally small. Buy a device, hack it and sell on Ebay? We have to assume you buy from us.

@crypto_monopoly No one has ripped anything apart. Did they get the money? All the what if scenarios in the world mean nothing. Did did anyone get the money? No. Why? Because, if you buy the device from us, instead of Ebay, and discount scenarios involving hijacking UPS, etc then it can't be done

@n_bresnahan Lose the wallet? Doesn't matter. Buy a new wallet. Your passphrase will work. Forget the passphrase? We can't help you.
