Step-by-step guide using Vigenère Polyalphabetic Ciphers to encrypt your Mnemonic Seed and prepare it for steganography.
Hi folks,
As of April 2024, the UK police and National Crime Agency were granted new powers to confiscate and destroy cryptocurrency assets, passwords, or hardware wallets without making an arrest:
Police will no longer be required to make an arrest before seizing crypto from a suspect … items that could be used to give information to help an investigation, such as written passwords or memory sticks, can be seized
Whether this will be used to tackle legitimate crime or as an arbitrary blanket procedure to prosecute law-abiding individuals who are concerned about financial privacy is yet to be seen.
What remains is a need for extra precautions to safeguard your Monero.
This is one system that I’ve used and that I want to share with the community.
Thanks

If you are forced to decrypt a veracrypt volume on your siezed computer, the very fact that you are using veracrypt is probably enough for law enforcement to presume the existence of a hidden volume.
You can deny it, sure, but it’s definitely no longer plausible.
how is it no longer plausible ? pls let me know who managed to prove the existance of a hidden volume and how, as up until now i didnt find anyone that managed to. If there is no proof that the hidden volume exists, you can keep claiming that there is no hidden volume.
