Where do you store private keys?
BitcoinZH Introduction: Issues with memory sticks, clouds and human frailty are all discussed, but no mention of hardware wallets.
You put your private keys on a memory stick. Where do you put the memory stick?
This is a question worthy of research…
A safe: 23.81%
The toilet: 6.67%
The ceiling: 6.67%
Under the bed: 6.67%
In a wallet: 14.29%
In a shoe sole: 9.52%
Other: 32.38%
A Pa:
Should be multi-select, I do a few.
sunary100:
I’m more worried about what happens if the memory stick breaks.

I do a few, if your wallet software generates backup keys. Make a note of it, print a paper wallet backup or use a brainwallet.
小蚂蚁 Little Ant:
Memory sticks break so put them on at least three different online cloud storage services, not only within China.

I don’t really trust uploading encryption keys to a cloud storage provider.

Put a little bit on each one, all mixed up.

I put a few like that on Baidu Cloud, they were all sealed. There’s no privacy at all.
sunary100:
This was done with a script, someone reported a similar script and now they don’t work.

I don’t really understand this.

All you need to know is you won’t have any trouble.
ALL-IN:
I give the memory stick to the wife.
jsyzgaoyou:
Just in a drawer, split into a few different places.
Dogecoin-Keeper:
Put it inside the bookcase.
aione110:
“Compress them with RAR, split the private keys into three files, A, B and C. Keep the pass phrase with my phone numbers. Put the three RAR files on different cloud providers…”
This is awesome, much respect.

They’re most secure on your computer.
A Pa:
Are you sure? Don’t be misleading the noobs.
bilibili92:
Put the compressed private keys onto a memory stick or GDrive, keep the paper backup in your wallet.
wangyisong72:
In a bank vault.
