I am also confused on that and I am fine with writing things down. What are we trying to solve here? Half the key phrase in one place, half in another if we want extra security.

Writing down seed phrases exposes them to an evil maid (or border guard) attack.

Border Wallets offers a new way of storing, memorising and transporting Bitcoin seed phrases for people who:

- have difficulty/concerns with securely caching physical seed backups (evil maid attack)

- want to memorise their seed words but struggle to do so (e.g. the 15% of the global population who are dyslexic)

- want to carry their seed words with them at all times

- have limited access to trusted 3rd parties

- live in areas of conflict, war zones, etc.

- regularly travel or move around

- have no permanent fixed abode.
