Hi guys, I discovered Monero very recently. My dad was a trader in cryptocurrencies but he died (i'll not say due of why). He wasn't a big trader but he did it's time. In my country, inheritance taxes are overtaxed. I hope to honor his move, against government thieves.

I'm curious how he passed on the seed words to you. Did he write it down, give you the password for a password manager, put the info in his Will, transfer to your wallet address, or give you a hardware wallet? Did he just trust you with access to his computer data before he died?

I got a seed-word graved on a steel plate and I had to see it's lawyer to get a microSD storing a passphrase locking the seed. It were hell difficult to understand the first time but now i take the process very easily

I am sorry that your father passed. Good to see that you are going to continue to carry on what he was doing with crypto. The government is a bunch of thieves, and inheritance taxes are complete BS. You may want to be careful what you post in public forums. You don't want the government coming after you for tax fraud.

No problem with that, in my country they're not very aware about crypto, while most of his stash were from earnings he did directly in crypto then i'm not even sure something is at it's name like the kyc thing i discovered recently. Thank you for giving support to my father from where he is now 💖 .
