I've seen a lot of creative ideas above, but I think most of them are unnecessary. I wrote my seed on paper and tried to memorize it and then burned the paper. Actually, it is really easy, only has 24 words. If you read only for one hour, you can memorize it very easily.


Memorizing that entire seed?  You got to be kidding me.  How can anyone well most ppl remember that long of a seed?  I could imagine someone remember a 12word seed... but anymore than that is way too much..

I write all my seeds in my notebook physically, not in mobile notpad or in laptop.I think this is safe way for safety of assets.
If that's convenient for you then its good, but also remember to do a photocopy of that page where your seeds are written and keep it some where else apart from your house, just incase a fire incident occur you might lose the notepad, but atleast you will a have back up so no need to worry, although theres no 100% proven method on how to keep our seeds, because everywhere we keep it is at our own risk, even if you save it in the google drive, the gmail might get hacked someday and someone will have access to your seed, so we should just try out best to keep them safe.


Well what about putting the seed in keepass then?  So someone hack your gmail, they still need your keepass master password?

Of course you can memorize it but after years can you really remember those words? Its not reliable even compared to writing on a paper and store in a plastic container.I don't recommend this advice to anyone to be honest because you are risking yourself to lose the funds you earned for the entire life time.

It's not easy to memorize the seed specially if you have more than one wallet seed phrase. And also you can't recall it after a couple of months or years. I also wrote it on a paper and keep it in a safe and secured place but I always have a duplicate just in case I lose the other copy.

you can easily remember it in just one hour, but you can forget it instantly when you need it. mark my words.  Grin
it just likes how we took a school exam in the past.

personally, I stored my seed in a notebook. that notebook contains many seeds from different crypto wallets.
I know it's risky, but that's why I am here. I need more insight from other members about the safe and creative way to store the seed.

Much better doing that, make sure to store it where the paper is fully secured old fashioned ways but still very effective in terms of keeping your seed.

It's very difficult to memorize it as times may affects your memory chance that there are more important things that will prevent you to recall it from your memories.

Always be in the safe side make not only one copy but make it 2 or more making sure that
you have backups incase some unpredicted happens.

my seed is stored very safe inside me.But sometimes sexy lady can can cause it exposed to the world.
seed stored on head I'm not sure it's better to keep seeds on paper or on your Android more convincing. the number of numbers that exceeds ten especially random numbers are very difficult to remember,

I wrote it on the wall of my bedroom, I scrambled it so that it was not easily accessed by others. Every day I see that writing when I want to sleep. The longer I remember it the easier it becomes.
But I did not erase the writing so that the day my memory gets stronger, the worst possibility is that if a natural disaster occurs that causes my house to be destroyed, I must remember it.

I also have my seeds written on paper and laminated it.  Buried it underground enclosed in a waterproof capsule.  Lamination for added protection, and buried underground to be fireproof.  I also create several backups of my seeds on flash disks.  Having both digital and tangible backups also help in case an unexpected thing happens.

Lol it looks you are extremely paranoid to laminate and bury it underground. But hey who knows maybe you have a really lot of money invested in it. Never hurts to be extra safe though.

At the moment I don't store any of them. I would probably use a safe to do so or have them encrypted on a computer if I stored them.

To those of you that talk about a safe... i mean unless the safe is completely hidden somewhere, wouldn't that be a bad place to put it?  I mean most of you who do have safes... i assume its attached to the wall or floor somewhere?  And thus not like in the open right unattached?


Other issue is if a thief is there, isn't it obvious a safe is the number one place they go and check?  Thus in a way, its like writing the seed or putting it in a drawer or notebook actually makes it safer?  Of course doesn't protect against natural disaster.

safes are very safe, the proof is that banks store fiat in safes, thieves can't open the vault, let alone impossible to take it, put it in a notebook and put it in a drawer is too easy or unnecessary material can be put in a drawer.

As long as you can keep your wallet seed safe, you can store it anywhere without having to worry about losing it. I myself keep my wallet seed in three different places to be safe. But what matter most to me is that security is not the place to be and I don't have to buy a vault to store seed for a wallet that only contain a few dollar. Very wasteful for me.

Who told you that Thieves can't open Vaults?we are in 20th century now mate seems like you are still in 15th century living  Angry



Talking about safeties of my Seed?i secretly put it in a urn in which i will not label here for my own safe,this may sounds disrespect but thats how i keep my asset safer,in places where no one will think that something is hidden.

At the moment I don't store any of them. I would probably use a safe to do so or have them encrypted on a computer if I stored them.
majority answer is safe place that robber or thieves will surely wanted to look at and take from you because surely there are very important that lies on those.

Try actually doing it, as it's a lot less harder than people actually thought. The memorizing and remembering part isn't the hard part though, the problem comes when something happens to you physically or mentally(like some sort of accident) that could cause the words to somewhat get wiped from your head. Totally not worth risking in my opinion.

Make a mnemonic word seed and then store 1/2 or 1/3 of the 12 word or 24 word phrase in different locations. Most thieves wouldn't even bother with 4 or 6 random words. Those who obtain said words would need to know the location of other seed sites. If you spread them out online and in real world environments it would become a daunting task for most thieves. Storing them around the world also allows for redundancy in case one site burns down.

No one can remember a seed and if you have more than one wallet, its just impossible  Tongue

I usually store my seed in two different places and have split them in half. On one paper i write half the seed and in another paper i write other half of the seed. Also i do not write the seed in sequential order so even if anyone can get hold of my both papers, it will still not be a piece of cake for him to decode my seed.

I stored my see on a piece of paper and it is kept inside of my house, I have two copies of it, the one is in my wallet and the other one is in our house, I am using a mnemonics for my seed in my wallet, that mnemonics is just invented by me so if ever that my wallet has stolen and they see the see it, they still cannot figure it out. We should always have multiple backs up for our seed to make it more secured because many things might happen that may lose our seed, you won't suffer it so hard when you have back up.

I am more comfortable storing my seed on my own compared to storing online, everything is possible to happen online because of the great knowledge of hackers.

You're right - the best way to store mnemonics is to write it on a piece of paper...
I can also recommend you to write words in .txt and store them on multiple flash drives...
