The Craziest Way I"ve Ever Heard to Store a Seed Phrase.

My cousin is an independent tow truck operator. There is a long chain on the truck coiled up in the back.

He notched the dotmap of his seed phrase into this chain. Little notches he made with a hacksaw which have since rusted over. He told me he sees his seed phrase rolling by everytime he loads or unloads a car and finds it very reassuring.

I asked what about a backup? He told me that the chain he replaced the year before also had the notches on them. It is currently in his garage lying in a corner among a lot of other chains and greasy tools.

The only flaw in his tactic that I could see was that he told me about it. I guess he felt safe since I was a relative and had a lot more bitcoin than he has. I found it more secure than words stamped into washers in clear, thats for sure. If someone stole his truck they wouldnt give scratches on a long rusty chain a second thought.

Anyway, wild idea. To be honest i found it very creative.
