Thanks, this is genuinely useful. The TXID/mempool tip alone would probably have saved Trezor Suite from about six of those twelve refreshes 😄
I think I may have skipped the “practice with small amounts” chapter and gone straight to the €1,000 final exam. No risk, no glory, apparently.
Now that I've actually been through the process once and understand what was happening, I doubt the next withdrawal will make me sweat nearly as much. But I take your point about not getting complacent. Knowing how something works once isn't the same as having the movements become second nature.
When you say “create, recover, and use many different self-custodial wallets,” do you mean setting up a few test wallets with very small amounts and deliberately practising the whole cycle : receive, send, recover from backup, inspect the TXID, etc... rather than maintaining several real wallets long-term?
That's actually the kind of practice I'm looking for. I'll keep running my scales like a Padawan with a training lightsaber.
And seriously, thanks for taking the time to give such a detailed answer. If you've got other practical little tips like the mempool one, I'm definitely interested.
