Somehow despite being dilligent about it all of my master copies of my key are lost, and a hastily written barely legible backup copy is what saved me from losing 7k link

Im about to do that but im gonna wipe it and recover to test it.

I bought a ledger years ago and when I was gonna set it up, after i plugged it in, it updated and bricked itself no joke, I didnt do anything else to it, and back then this happened to a lot of people but ledger swept it under the rug. Then i got lazy and bought a trezor

>> No.50009047

>>50007783
use the trezor anon

if you ever hit 7 figures(doubtful being a linkie) consider Gnosis Safe

The thing is I made a ton of backups, I have a problem with hiding stuff everywhere, I have my silver and gold hidden and even buried all over my parents house, i legit forgot where one of the buried stashes is because i have so many.
I even dug up one of my stashes in the attic insulation hoping I had my key stashed there.

The key is probably inside some alarm clock circuit board or random shit like that, I think i have memory damage from smoking weed in my teenage years

m8 not only are you retarded for not just using a $50 ledger nano s or some shit like that, but you are also retarded for writing your keys on paper. get a sheet of metal and stamp your key onto that, the first four letters of each word, clearly numbering each word
