 Make a key backup ritual that happens EVERY single time you make a wallet, even if you are just screwing around. 

Do it because it’s simply the rule for when you make a wallet. Every time. If you have to, Imagine you are role playing as a meticulous OCD cypherpunk spy with 5 secret passports and money hidden in the slab under your house. That guy would *always* have a backup, and it would be highly organized. Whatever you need, just DO it. nostr:note196z4s5xuq4ux3trhavnf7paef5c7ajduypqhn3wwujstsdp3x6es3wz2fg 
 Thanks Guy. Genuine fucking nightmare, I'm pretty new to all this.  
 On a related note, I cant seem to find how to backup the key in Nunchuk and as a result, cannot yet recommend this wallet.

 Guy has been remodeling his basement. 👀 
 I store mine in an offline KeePassXC vault secured by an extremely complex password. I store that password in another KeePassXC vault that's secured by a passphrase that I've memorized. I find that's a good balance of security and accessibility. 
 Great advice 
 Great advice. I lost over 1 million sats once by sending to an old test wallet on accident long after deleting the seed phrase. 
 If you need help remembering just send me your keys i'll help you  
 But I just bought a Bitkey for $25 and it obfuscates all that away. 
 Keep a goof around seed and restore from that rather than generating a new seed for every app if it's just 12 words.
