Sure, sounds perfect. Let me send some crypto person that has invested in a home stamping kit the secret to my crypto wallet. At least they won't know what it's for to be able to hijack my wallet. phew. had me nervous that committing the cardinal sin of sharing my secret with someone I don't know isn't going to come back to haunt me.
