QR-Code-generator VS emv-qrcode

The funny thing is that no-one AFAICT has realized that the same content can be encoded in different-looking QR codes. Beside the obvious (different error-correction levels), the content itself can be changed while maintaining its semantic meaning (e.g. "https://example.com/foo", "HTTPS://EXAMPLE.COM/foo", or "HtTpS://eXaMpLe.CoM/foo" are all semantically identical) and even the QR encoding itself can be tweaked (e.g. by changing the version and mask, see the demo on https://www.nayuki.io/page/qr-code-generator-library). Each combination would yield a different-looking QR code that would encode the same meaning, and it could therefore allow the diffusion models even greater freedom.

I'm sure somebody will get to this soon.

Make a hidden Veracrypt vault on cold computer. Inside the Veracrypt vault save Keepassxc vaults. Store your seeds inside the Keepassxc vaults. For a paper backup, encrypt your seeds using an offline AES256/512 text encryptor/decryptor. Encode the encrypted text using an offline qrcode generator. Print out the qrcode. Test recovery using a dummy wallet. Be sure you can scan and decrypt. Bonus: Laser etch the qrcodes on metal plates. Make a multi-factor recovery vault, in case you forget your passwords. Shimar's secret sharing scheme is a useful tool for making your recovery vault. Never store your seed unencrypted anywhere, ever. Never input your seed on an online computer, ever. Always protect your seeds with something you know (password), something you have (vaults and keyfiles). Do not upload your vault to the cloud. Keep backups in multiple locations.

I probably know this only because back in time I wrote a QR code generator in JavaScript [1] which was also one of such libraries reviewed by Nayuki [2], and as I haven't actually implemented a decoder my knowledge stops there. Sorry :-)

I guess it helps to understand how to generate a QR code: https://www.nayuki.io/page/qr-code-generator-library (see also the references at the end)

Good luck. ;-)

i think i found what i was looking for

Spek komplit liat di MPM or just use/read the implementations in Golang or Java if you're more fluent in reading code than specs.
