#WIF is so much better and more sensible than #BIP39.
Why on *earth* maintain seperate backups for keys in steel? Why not simply "back up" the keys themselves on archive media?
"But what if a key is lost or destroyed?"
That's what larger quoroms solve. You don't duplicate every key in a cumbersome and incongruent format to solve for key loss! This adds tremendous mental overhead and room for error, not to mention requiring external dependencies outside the #Bitcoin software!
Simply size your quorum properly. 4-of-7 on 💿💿💿💿💿💿💿 allows you to LOSE 3 KEYS. There are no backups, and that's a wonderful thing! Simply machine-readable keys on archive media. No steel. No backdoored "hardware wallet". No sketchy 3rd party software.
#Bitcoin + 💿💿💿💿💿💿💿 = done.
Unburden yourself.
