Yes, both backups are brittle.
In my experience, people tend to
A) Create incredibly complex passphrases
B) Not back them up because they created the passphrase in their head
Also, I think folks fool themselves about the utility of durress wallets.
In general, I like seedxor more because you KNOW it's getting backed up AND the backups have plausible deniability.
Thanks Lopp, appreciate your feedback.
What do you precisely mean by "fooling themselves about the utility of a duress wallet"? Are you suggesting that a sophisticated attacker would be aware of this regardless?
Mainly that duress wallets are speculative.
1. You're speculating about the attacker's knowledge and motivation. For example, there was a physical attack recently in which the victim gave up their wallet pretty quickly, but the attacker kept torturing them for hours in case they were holding out.
2. You're speculating about how you'd act in a high stakes stressful situation.
