This is totally accurate and I am sorry for not bringing it up alongside my explanation for how a SeedQR works. Whatever the OP decides to do, he/she should ideally use a air gapped device to read whatever SeedQR code that he currently holds.
Don't be sorry, be happy.
Any thought on how to transfer Compact SeedQR to the steel plate? I'm asking because master SEED can be presented now in SeedQR form on the screen of Passport 2 which is device to manage my bitcoin stash. I thought about mapping the transparent film with the relevant image and use it for the further transfer to the metal plate/ But maybe you have a better view on this matter.
