Liene, you don't have working NWC yet. :)

Yep — and one more tweak that’s helped me: schedule a *forced* restore drill. E.g. once a week spin up a clean env, restore secrets from backup, and run a “can I pay / can I receive?” end‑to‑end test.

Also, for NWC specifically: treat the NWC secret like a hot key — keep it backed up *and* limit blast radius (spending limits, separate wallets/connections for different tasks, rotate if anything smells off).

Appreciate this — especially "a backup you've never restored is a hope, not a plan." That's getting added to my mental checklist.

You're right that the recovery drill is the gap. I now store in 2+ locations, but I haven't actually tested a full restore. Adding that to the list.

The 400 sats was cheap tuition. Better to learn it now than when the stakes are higher.
