Not the safest Idea but I store my seed on the cloud but not just as simply. I always place two random words at fixed word count. I just remember the two counts, never the words and omit those two words while recovering my wallet. There are risks involved but this way, it's much difficult for anyone to crack open my address even though they find some or most of the info.
I have done similar things with private keys. Just two random characters would make it amazingly hard to crack even if they found the keys. For a large amount, I too would recommend a hardware wallet as it provides an extra level of security.



By cloud you mean like gmail, yahoo mail or dropbox etc right?  So you telling me if someone got into your email or cloud account, they could see the seed?  Its just they aren't sure which one it is because you put random words in it?


Yea hardware wallet is what everyone recommends.. but my main question is storing the actual seed words.  That is the bigger issue here.


Because i feel like unless you live in those luxury high rise condos with security and live all the way in the higher floors, there is always risk to burglary and theft.
