Plausibly deniable steganographic encryption of BIP-39 mnemonic seed words with a date shift cipher (by mifunetoshiro)
btcrecover
BTCRecover is an open source wallet password and seed recovery tool. For seed based recovery, this is primarily useful in situations where you have lost/forgotten parts of your mnemonic, or have made an error transcribing it. (So you are either seeing an empty wallet or gettign an error that your seed is invalid) For wallet password or passphrase recovery, it is primarily useful if you have a reasonable idea about what your password might be.

I’m currently in the process of building a Safu Ninja metal seed storage and have a question about BIP 39.
try this tool for plausibly deniable steganographic encryption of BIP-39 mnemonic seed words. It is very cool but keep in mind you need to be careful each time you add complexity to the whole process https://github.com/mifunetoshiro/Seedshift/

Seedshift - steganographically encrypt your seed words
Pertaining to recent events (both the FTX collapse and LastPass hack), self-custody of your crypto and with it safe backup of your mnemonic seed words has never been more warranted I think. I keep my seed words secured in a local KeePass database in a few different places, but this guy kept them on LastPass. I wrote this script a few years ago to be able to securely write them down in an easy human-readable format and not have to worry about it even if a thief/hacker came across them: https://github.com/mifunetoshiro/Seedshift

where do you keep your seed phrase?
Piece of paper, steganographically encrypted with https://github.com/mifunetoshiro/Seedshift

Your seed phrase: Some of the worst mistakes you can make when storing your seed. And some tricks to help you store it better.
I developed a method that steganographically encrypts your seed words in a plausibly deniable way using a date-shift cipher: https://github.com/mifunetoshiro/Seedshift

Brute-forceable puzzle - free crypto for whoever manages to crack it
There is an x amount of crypto I put there as an award for whomever manages to get ahold of it. It is encrypted with a date shift cipher using this script I wrote: Seedshift. I basically used 1-4 dates in YYYY-MM-DD format to shift the mnemonic words (modulo 2048 to wrap around the wordlist, you can do it manually without the script).

PSA: If you use a cloud service (e.g. LastPass) to store e.g. 2FA recovery seeds, backup it on another cloud service or locally with KeePass
Also, it's not recommended nor safe to store seed words directly in plain-text in either cloud or local backups. If you do, at least obfuscate them somehow. I personally use a date shift cipher when writing down/saving my seed words (https://github.com/mifunetoshiro/Seedshift) which you can also do by hand.

Memorizing your seed
I use a date shift cipher on my seed words, so even if someone comes across it, it would be useless for them. I wrote a script for it: https://github.com/mifunetoshiro/Seedshift

Seed working but not displaying bitcoin
Edit: I GOT IT!!!, had to use https://btcrecover.readthedocs.io/. Turns out I had the wrong word. Thank you u/Crypto-Guide, you are a lifesaver. My week just got a whole lot better.

Sound off if you have atomic wallet and your coins are still there.
I'm not aware of any such list, and I don't think atomic has even disclosed all of their derivation paths. For example the derivation path to ethereum had to be reverse-engineered, it is possible to get the private key to ethereum address made with atomic using the recovery software btcrecover. However it can be a little painful to get running and the documentation is quite extensive because it caters to so many different wallets.

Is multisig safer?
BTCRecover (https://btcrecover.readthedocs.io/) does this (I maintain the tool), basically something like an M1 Mac can easily check about 200,000 seeds per second.

The story of how I recovered my buddy's mnemonic phrase for his validator.
Also, for anyone without your coding skills, BTCRecover is a free open-source program from /u/Crypto-Guide that traces its origins nearly a decade.

Help a buddy out, please!
One of the most used and trusted tools for this is btcrecover (current fork of 3rdIteration). It can run offline if you are concerned about security, but it's not the most user-friendly tool.
- $100 in ETH if you guess the order of my seed phrase (24 words)

Hidden Wallet and 0 funds
You can try and go it manually, but if you get fed up with that then you can also use tools like BTCRecover to attempt to speed up checking https://btcrecover.readthedocs.io/ (I also have a bunch of videos about it on my channel)

Friend forgot his PIN we recovered his Trezor but the Founds are gone
You need to be sure you have the right seed... The passphrase is easy to mess up, so you can try a bunch of things by hand or use BTCRecover to help test a bunch of seeds very quickly. (https://btcrecover.readthedocs.io/)

I lost the last 2 words of my seed phrase.
BTCRecover can be used for this https://btcrecover.readthedocs.io/
