New to bitcoin (couple of weeks googling). Have purchased some bitcoin via bittylicous using electrum wallet. I have a cold wallet stored in a raspberry pi paired with a watch only wallet on my online windows machine. I also have a paper wallet containing my seed phrase. I'm wondering if my paper wallet can be used with other systems should I not be able to access the electrum system for any reason?

You can restore all your private keys from your seed without Electrum and import the keys individually into any client you wish.

All with the power of just math, and math alone...




of course... it's super complicated math... so you'll need a computer :-P

Here's a standalone python script.

Python already comes with hashlib... all you need is to install python-ecdsa and this script will work (replace the seed on the 10th or so line with your 12 word seed.
