Where did this "never put your seed phrase online in anyway" come from? I've put mine in an encrypted folder sent to myself on multiple emails, and literal redditors were treating it like I posted it publicly on social media for all to see.

Is this sort of sentiment just coming from low IQ people who just want to roleplay like they are secret spies in some James Bond spy film? Do they really think they can keep something for god knows how long without people seeing it or losing it?

It's one thing to put a seed phrase for your wallet worth $25k in the cloud.
Anons with 1000, or 10,000 times that amount in a wallet will usually want to exercise more caution.

Take those precautions now, and you won't have to move everything to a different "safer" wallet in the future, should one of your tokens blow up in value.

Protection against potential keyloggers.

OP's pic is why I always advise against storing seed words in plain text, even on a sheet of metal locked in a safe. You should add an additional cipher layer to them. Like composing a text with the words starting or ending a new line, and then hiding it in your poetry folder or whatever.

You should also use an extra passphrase in addition to the seed and store them separately in case one is compromised.

Your seed phrase isn't even supposed to touch the internet or a computer, retard. Any keylogger or malware on your computer can easily yoink your seed phrase even if you aren't connected to the internet.

Writing it down without using letters is the key to defeat keyloggers. Add one other layer of security like location/decoys or a cipher for extra security.

I run a local WoW server as a single player and used map editor to write my seedphrase in the floor under karazhan where ordinarily the smiley is. Just make sure never to log out there.

the reason why it makes no sense to encrypt a seed and publish it is the key that protects a seed would have the same entropy as the seed itself.

for example i can use sha256 to encrypt a private key.
let's say your private key is L4xFg9tFhvUgXzjh6UKXYidu6PMYj2dgzDzzwZxZqaBNSnzbmm4Q
in hex e6bf5b069518f51625826311b0dc53ee224e4e874a1e9c1fd565654f904df0fe

and the password is "baby don't hurt me!"
which has the hash of 21a4be5c5ade670d41dbf3f3c08030b5a0d91d9abd57a488ed543230d8b831d3

encrypted using simple xor is c71be55acfc6921b645990e2705c635b8297531df74938973831577f48f5c12d

decryption is using xor again with the same hash.
