im going to fucking cry i think i just lost $40k worth of crypto because my ledger decided to reset itself

If you don't have a multisig or social recovery wallet, imo the next best is to split up your seedphrase with a "poor man's 2-of-3": chunk 1 is top + middle, chunk 2 is middle + bottom, chunk 3 is bottom + top.

We could even use the kind of paper that people use to sign two copies of a form at the same time for this:

hope you can find your recovery phrase

yeah but splitting the seed phrase into multiple chunks, wasn‘t the problem here that it got lost? So the solution would be to have it in more than one place

Yeah, split and keep the pieces in different locations, better than keeping the entire phrase in multiple places

ah so it‘s a 2 out of three, yeah I didn‘t get that. That‘s actually pretty neat!
