Learn the essentials of cryptocurrency: setting up secure trading accounts, obtaining hardware wallets, and protecting your investments with SLIP-39 mnemonic recovery cards.

This guide covers the three key steps to getting started with cryptocurrency: establishing an exchange account, securing your funds with a hardware wallet, and creating SLIP-39 protected seed backups for maximum security. (PDF, Text)

Setting Up Your Cryptocurrency Exchange Account

Just like you need a stock trading account to buy and sell stocks with CAD$, you need a cryptocurrency exchange account to convert between fiat currency and cryptocurrency.

The macOS/win32 SLIP-39 App

Wed, 02 Feb 2022 22:22:00 +0000

Creating personal Ethereum, Bitcoin and other cryptocurrency accounts is urgently needed, but is complex and fraught with potential for loss of funds.

All Crypto wallets start with a large, random number "Seed" used to derive all of your actual Bitcoin, Ethereum, etc. wallets. You do not want to try to generate such a Seed by yourself, or trust any hardware/software solution for this – even us! So, we architected the SLIP-39 App so you don't need to trust it.

SLIP-39 Wallet "Seed" Generation & Backup

Mon, 20 Dec 2021 10:55:00 +0000

Creating Ethereum, Bitcoin and other accounts is complex and fraught with potential for loss of funds.

A 12- or 24-word BIP-39 seed recovery Mmnemonic Phrase helps, but a single lapse in security dooms the account (and all derived accounts, in fact). If someone finds your recovery phrase (or you lose it), the accounts derived from that seed are gone.

The SLIP-39 standard allows you to split the seed between 1, 2, or more groups of several mnemonic recovery phrases. This is better, but creating such accounts is difficult; presently, only the Trezor supports these directly, and they can only be created "manually". Writing down 5 or more sets of 20 words is difficult, error-prone and time consuming.
