Anyone interested in developing a Hardware Wallet for MSC and SC?

OK. You can just use a hardware wallet then. Unless you’re interested in a cryptosteel? I guess this, too, would go against your preferences?

Ah . . very nice! - no, this would not go against my preferences - I would be much less likely to lose that gadget . .

Thanks!

I think hard copies have a valuable role to play. They are a very practical form of ‘out of stream’ backup. Out of stream meaning that it’s kept separate from the online networked area, which could be compromised.

Yes, you are probably right . .

Keep your recovery seed very safe. I can’t lose mine, I’ve gone to pretty extreme lengths to secure it

Definitely - CryptoSteel does look interesting in that regard . .

I split my private keys into parts and store them across multiple locations. Someone would need access to all the locations to steal any full seed/key and each part is stored in an equally indestructible way but with less hassle than the cryptosteel thing (laminated, in fireproof wallet and waterproof ziplock). It felt like a huge hassle, but that cryptosteel looks like it would have been even more annoying than laminating and shoving into fire-wallets and bags. I have too many keys for it to be practical for me really.

A better compromise might be to split in three parts and keep two different parts at three locations. In case one location is inaccessible, you have a backup. Good luck

A better compromise might be

I have gone even further than that, although this is one time I don’t mind a bit of ‘security through obscurity’ so I won’t give any more detail
