I think it’s worth pointing out that entering your recovery list allows another party to clone your wallet; so anyone who intercepts those could then get at your BTC as well as your BCH/BCC holdings!

Highlighting this security detail is important. People need to make sure that they only enter and store their recovery list in ways that cannot be snooped; but also people using this technique may want to consider sweeping their BTC funds into a new, fresh, wallet after getting their BCH out (a wallet which they have not “cloned” to a second online trusted service).

(Or perhaps I’m misunderstanding the mechanics; feel free to explain how it works in detail if I’m wrong).
