But how you will identify it if you are about to retrieve the wallet? You have to put some hint of doing this. This came to my mind but I'm very easy to forget and my memory doesn't works well now.
The "story" part gave me an idea. Maybe it can be encrypted into a poem that can be then memorized. Would be longer but seems easier to memorize than a random sequence of words. Thanks for the suggestion.
Wooah I remember someone suggested and created this type of encryption to his private key. Making a story with the use of your private keys will give confusion if someone accidentally sees your PK's. Thanks for reminding me about this type of sequence and the story thing.  This is familiar to me and it's a good way to protect it that way, you don't have to memorize it you only need some hints on what are the most important words.

Yeah, I'm thinking along the lines of a number sequence you can easily remember (special dates, etc) and using that as key to extract the words form the sentence. Am starting to read up on cryptography now. Interesting stuff.
Good luck about that mate and give us your little update if you are done with it.

I think this is over the top. I've never seen a book printed on a grid, so I presume you'd have to do that yourself, too.
He has to do it alone and it's DIY security.


Why bother? Keep things simple.
Things that are simple can easily caught up if there is someone that's trying to breach your keys out.
