However, have you guys ever thought that what happens if that phone never turns on the next time you want to access the Mycelium or your desired wallet on it?
I'll get my seed phrase and continue.
I do have a backup plan for that, I have written down the backups, private keys, and passwords on multiple papers obviously.
Have you
tested your backups? If you had, you wouldn't have to worry about it
So here's an idea for a rainy afternoon: get
Iancoleman's site, get a Linux Live DVD, boot it, run from RAM, unplug your internet and close your curtains, and see if you can reproduce your funded Bitcoin address from scratch using your seed and the above tools.
Then, wipe your RAM by turning it off and you don't have to worry about coin recovery anymore.
That's excellent idea it seems.
I already got good experience with
Iancoleman's site since one time I lost the ledger
(don't ask, it was stupid) and all I had passphrases with me. I am not sure if it was you or someone else that directed me to use this tool. It generated 100's of addresses after selecting the input derivation path.
I believe what you explained above is something that a techie is usually doing. I think I am going to experiment with this one. Thanks, buddy.
If you have the backups securely, why do you fear? I have my hardware wallets and different electrum wallet on my phone and laptop. All the three wallet has different purpose, different uses. All of the wallets seed key is stored in paper in two different place. In my my custody while the other is in my wife's custody. While my hardware wallet seed is secured in Cypher metal box. If my devices crashed, I can easily recover them. Seed key has a use.
Yeah I know I got the back ups and all, it's unconscious fear somehow.
But I am going to stop using the phones for sure.
Need to move along with the better options, may be more technical, deep knowledge-based. just like what @LoyceV explained.
