Oddbean new post about login | logout What exactly is your problem?
Relai locked me out of the wallet.
😱 so it’s a hot wallet. In this case I would recommend to recover the wallet with sparrow or electrum
I have a hardware wallet, too, but it's a Ledger.
I wouldn’t recommend to use a seed phrase generated with a phone on a hardware wallet. In worst case your seed could be already corrupted. For security reasons I would always separate hot and cold wallet seeds and not mix them up. Technically it’s possible to recover your relai seed on a ledger or any hardware wallet that supports 12 word seeds but it’s really not a good practice. The best way when it comes to security is to recover a hot wallet seed with a hot wallet like sparrow or electrum and then send your funds to your cold wallet. This way ensures that you don’t mix up seed phrases.
Yeah, I'm going with Electrum Android, I think.
It worked! I was nervous to type the seed phrases in, until I realized that the worst that can happen, is that I accidently get someone else's money. 😂 Already sent some to my Phoenix wallet to pay my LN bills and the rest to Ledger. https://media.tenor.com/QsAOEEaueZoAAAAM/betty-white.gif
No the worst that could happen. The worst could be that you use a fake Electrum or a corrupted keyboard or worst that steal your coins, but in most cases everything is fine. Best is to use a Tails OS stick (installed properly with signature checking and all), boot it on a trusted computer, run Electrum (included), enter seed, send all to you hardware wallet.
