intro, storage, access, emergency, inheritance & will

recently, I took possession of my Bitcoin.

while this eliminates some risks, it creates others. If I hold all of my own access information, I am a single-point-of-failure. That makes my BTC more vulnerable to physical theft (known as a “Wrench Attack” ).

if you store some of this information (the “seed-words”) for me, my BTC will be much safer. For redundancy, a few of my friends are also securing the same information. You are not solely responsible!

“seed-words” or a “recovery phrase” are simply 12 words.

For example:

to secure our communications —

now, we need to verify that no one intercepted our communications and tampered with the 12 words. This is called a “Man-in-the-Middle” Attack.

This also verifies that you wrote the 12 words accurately.

next, you need to store the paper (with the “First 12” words)

When I need to access my BTC —

we MUST follow a protocol.

please CHECK —

if you think that i’m OK —

if you think that i “might be” in danger —

Here, let’s clarify the situation that we are defending against.

Although very improbable, I may be kidnapped.

PLEASE, do NOT give away these valuable 12 words !!!

By holding this important information, you become a target.

Under duress, I may reveal your name & location.

A sophisticated attacker could find you.

but, i think this is very unlikely…

i’ll send you a voice/video message — to show that both myself AND your name/location have Not been compromised…

→ if my weekly Check-in is missed or suspect — take evasive maneuvers to defend yourself, until my condition is known…

this provides you with a warning & puts further restraints upon the Attacker

you may hold a unique “pass-phrase” to unlock your Bitcoin inheritance…

you’ll need —

next, you’ll need to “restore” your inheritance wallet

when you’re ready —

if you have a copy of my Will,

please, ask me any questions…
