Hi all,
i use bitcoin core v0.17.1 for store my bitcoins,
What can I do to get a good backup?
I used the dumpwallet command and I followed the backup procedures from the GUI by putting all the files on an encrypted usb pen.
but I read that from the xpriv(private masterkey) derived all the wallets created following precisely the xpriv, but that the xpriv was created by the root seed (in fact a part of the xpriv is the same for all the wallets).
Is it possible to extract the root seed?
does the root seed have to be encrypted in some way to avoid being vulnerable?
or am I just getting too worried and don't have to think about root seeds?
