Thanks for this three part guide! Well written, concise and really informative! I have a question regarding BIP 39/ BIP 44 standards, to which I cannot find a clear recommendation anywhere online.

For security reasons, do you recommend testing the newly generated addresses within your wallet (e.g. bitcoin, ethereum, ripple) with a small in- and outbound transaction, or will the risk of having your public key exposed outweigh the risk of "corrupt" private/public key pairs being falsely generated through the BIP 39/ BIP 44 standard?
Thanks for your reply!
