Part 8/13:
Passphrases: Add an extra layer of disguise. The 12 or 24 seed words remain, but with a passphrase set, they become a completely different wallet. Unless the passphrase is known, the seed’s contents remain hidden.
Decoy Wallets: Have multiple wallets with small amounts or dummy data, ready to respond to coercion or theft.
Coercion-Resistant Techniques: Trick PINs and Device Wiping
Trap/Panic PINs: Set special PINs on hardware wallets like Cold Card to trigger actions such as:
Wiping the device
Bricking the hardware (rendering it useless)
These quick responses ensure you cannot be coerced into revealing your seed or credentials, as the device self-destructs.
