One thing to note about Bip39 seed phrases. The words alone are not always enough to recover your funds. The derivation path is also required. walletsrecovery.org provides the default derivation path for a long list of wallets. In practice you can usually get away with not having the derivation path but the path may be required if you are attempting the recovery of your funds on a different wallet than the one you generated the seed phrase on. I recommend recording the path along with the words.

I found this episode very informative, thanks. One thing I encountered when choosing an exchange and buying my first lot of bitcoin, was that I could not send to a Bech32 address. I had to send to a P2SH address first. So there are exchanges out there that are not yet using the latest wallet address type, and as a result, I think I had to spend a bit more on fees, since I wanted my bitcoin in a Bech32 multi signature wallet. keep up the great work. :)

What do you think about storing your seed phrase on an encrypted USB drive, in a safe? This is a method I've used, but I will definitely rethink this now.

You finally got me over that initial barrier to boost! I’ve been experimenting with Umbrel for several weeks and I must admit that the Lightening Network setup is still a mystery to me. I’m a Jupiter Party attendee but I’m starting to see that model of support may not be the best in the near future.
