then good luck finding the 12 words in my guide.
I studied https://darth-coin.github.io/beginner/be-your-own-bank-en.html where that image is present.
The "Madness in plain sight" paragraph mentions the 12 words. But if I were to follow your guide and hide my own 12 words in a document of my own, to reconstruct them later, how would I later
- identify which words were special to me
- in what order they go in the passphrase (if not from first to last)
I notice there are about 12 worlds like “cleanliness” in quotation marks. But putting those, in order, in OpenStego doesn't work. As you note
Even if you think about it, they have many years of trying until they can find the order …
But how would I, in the future, deduce the right order?
BTW, your explanation of PublicNote
This algorithm (which is open source and you can take it offline if you want) makes an encryption of this text resulting in another text
can be dangerously misunderstood: Yes, the software is open source and you can run your own instance. But the data is stored on the server, and when the server goes offline (your own server can vanish, too!), you can't follow these breadcrumbs anymore. If you stored your texts on the public server, and that goes away, you can't install your own server from the open source to get the texts back.

I will put it easier for you: in one of my guides there are 12 words in plain sight. But are randomly (for the reader) arranged inside the text that will be almost impossible to find them and also know the right order.
I am the only one knowing the position.
I gave you that example not to start now to search them into my guide, but to do it for yourself. It will be insane to start searching them.

And these 12 words are the seed words for the wallet? Or the passphrase for the OpenStego cat image?
Or does the cat image have a completely different password (not 12 words at all)?
I guess I don't understand what the point is of putting 12 seed words in a cat image and encrypt it with 12 other words, which are then put into a public text, requiring me to remember 12 positions. It all boils down to me remembering 12 things :)

No, you didn't understand.
The cats image is just a separate method or as a backup.
The image is encrypted wuth stego and inside are the 12 words for a seed. No passphrase.
The 12 words insidebthe guide is just another method. Again are just spread among the guide text positioned in specific places so I can recover them if I need it.
Consider these methods the backup of a backup. I will not rely for example only on one place. I use different methods just in case of shtf and I cannot access o r if the methods.
For example the backup of these 2 methods is another one:
See the 12 high peaks in this picture? Each peak contain a resistent recipient with a word inside.
So in order to retrive the 12 words seed you must hike all 12 peaks (and is not do easy). Also you need to know the order. So even if somebody will find a recipient, it will be useless.
