Where you hide ?

bad idea

home invaders dont spend hours sat at your computer desk riffling through your emails and documents.. they pull out the cabling and take the whole computer.. then spend time in their own safe location to look at your data.

i suggest putting the seed somewhere else.. like behind a family portrait of the ugliest family members you have (something no home invader will want)

the only way that i have found to be decent, especially if you are planning on keeping your seed and/or private keys for a long time, is engraving them on a metal.
i got that idea from a project on here, but i did it my self on a piece of stainless steel plate that i had.

But this is much harder to hide than a piece of paper that you would cover with a thin foil of plastic so it's waterproof protected.

Yes, a piece of metal is more resistant but you still need to keep it safe from burglary and thieves.

but it is still the same size. metal is a little heavier but as far as size, they can be the same. what i have is a 3x5 Cm with 1.5 mm in thickness, so it is as easy (or hard) as hiding same size paper covered with plastic.

Excellent idea. If I was a thief that's precisely the first place I'd search. Don't tell me your password is 123456789, now?

Paper is still your best bet. Or a metal, like pooya87 suggested. I'd write down my seed on a sheet of paper using an encoding pattern that only I understand, if I were you. And then maybe I'd frame said sheet of paper and hang in the middle of my hallway like you did, because it wouldn't matter anymore.
