Perhaps it's easier if only 1 class of items is listed like animals.

You could do that for example assign 1 letter to an animal, and then only memorize a list of animals in order, and keep your reference list with many backups because that translates the animals to the letters.

You could make the reference list public too, because it's technically not confidential, but better keep it private for better security.

For example:

Elephant  -> A
Dog        -> a
Mouse     ->B
Cat         ->b
Zebra     ->C
Cow        -> c
Eagle      ->D

.....

So if the private key is something like this:  HUQuihAYF745I4h8H81HUq546sg2

It can be reconstructed as a list of animals with the method mentioned above.

I thought that seed was only a mnemonic phrase for backup. Yes it is a backup but I didn't know that it was the private key. Hahahaha its been a long time since I used an offline wallet.

I know someone who did this a few years ago i was rather amazed, however i don't have the patience. Nothing wrong with printing it out

Did anyone tried out this method? Let me know if it works for you.

Nowadays passphrases are more preferable towards passwords, because it's easy to memorize.

This is true, anyoneone can remember their pass phrase with focus.
But when youre stress you will likely forget a part of the phrase.
Very informative topic, not just for storing keys to your memory but for enhancing memory too.

Very useful tutorial, but since i don' t have a good memory, i prefer to write my key/passphrase/password on .txt file

that's one weird kind of thread I have to say but pretty brilliant to use that kind of technique to memorize the seed. I was hoping to see the way to memorize the private key rather than the seed Private key is damn harder to do that than the seed (at least the seed contains meaningful words ). Anyway, thanks for your tutorial.

I applaud your technique but some people may not be able to utilize this because different people learn in different ways. The issue is what if you have more than a few wallets that require you to remember your seed words ? I think it would be a little foolish to keep all your bitcoins in your wallet. My main concern is if you have two strings of seeds words associated with two wallets, the worst thing that could happen is something they get mesh together and you end up having two seed phrases from words associated with both wallet. Remembering your seed words is always nice but there is always the concern you might forget them at some point and time.

I dont know guys but you guys must be drunk all the time because it's really easy to memorize a password.

Look i have a very bad short term memory, i cant even remember what i ate yesterday, but i have a decent visual memory.


I can remember a password and i only need to retrain my memory 1-2 times a month, its really easy to memorize password with this method, and if your memory is below average then just retrain it 2 times/week, and i think it should be ok.
