Ok, good day fellas, someone brought up an idea for storing his Electrum recovery seed to my notice and I feel it's not entirely still safe and I will like to share here for some feedbacks before I tell him my final answer about the idea.
If you get your recovery seed from any wallet, either those with 12 seed words or 24, and you decide to write down 10 out of 12 or 20 out of 24 and keep the other two words separately somewhere else, how stupid or cool is this? He claimed he will keep the two words in a safe location different from the other words and also store the two words off head.
Give your answers please, stupid? Cool? Not great? No need?
I don't that that there is any need for doing something like that because it's always preferable to store your whole seed words in a single text file and save that file on multiple storage devices, and then disconnect all those storages devices from internet. With that simple step our seed phrase and our private key gets the top level of security because no one else can access those other than we ourselves.
I must say that his idea isn't great at all because why take a lot of burden if you can follow the easy path which has already been tested and is currently the most secure and trusted method to keep ones private keys or seeds words without any worries. I think it's always safe to go with the tested method which I have already explained because that method can't be hacked with current GPU's or any other hacking methods.
The most problematic thing that can happen with such idea is brute-force attacks because if someone knows 10 words out of 12 words or 20 words out of 24 words then that person can easily brute-force that wallet and gain access to it. Brute-forcing of 2 words isn't hard these days thanks to powerful GPU's, and even 4 words isn't that much trouble causing for someone who has cluster of those powerful GPU's.
