Title: Material for "paper" wallet Post by: deuteragenie on January 05, 2014, 08:19:50 PM Which material would you recommend for 'paper' wallets ?
Ideally, it should resist fire, last at least 100 years, not be detectable by dogs or detectors/scanners in airports etc. Ceramic ? Fused quartz ? Fused silica ?

Fused silica ? anything physical can be stolen, so why not put it in teh cloud Title: Re: Material for "paper" wallet Post by: deuteragenie on January 05, 2014, 09:52:19 PM Indeed. That would mean balancing the risks of:
- Cloud provider going belly up (bankruptcy, loss of data etc) - Me forgetting the encryption password With: - Theft Which one is more likely ? I wonder... One could as well 'encrypt' the private key on the paper wallet with another key stored at another location, with the same risk of forgetting the password.

I storing it in more places to at least one copy survive fire. |
