But the most important thing is: do not keep all your sats into just ONE wallet.
Always use the 3 levels stash: vault, cache, spending. with multiple wallets on each level.
THINK like a bank. Compartmentalization is key.

btw multisig will not help you too much but only complicate things too much. Multisig should be used only when are more than one user for the same wallet

Compartmentalization is key.Compartmentalization is key.

Even if you don't want to read anything, check anything, do anything. Just say this every night before you go to sleep, and when you wake up. Make it your mantra.

Excellent, and I've read (and zapped!) some of your earlier guides previously. The ones on mobile devices and lnurl come to mind! Great to see you have covered this too and will be sure to give all those three of these a good read. I appreciate it!

On the last comment, multisig is for the instance that any one of the signatures becomes compromised, if we were to see anything of the likes of Coldcard on other wallets (could be a vulnerability other than entropy; there are all kinds of ways firmware could go wrong). I'm going through the consideration of whether the additional complexity is worth it, but relying on just one wallet/passphrase seems insufficient at the moment. The Coldcard case was just too close for comfort!
