Title: POLL How do you store your coins? Post by: DanielVG on February 21, 2014, 02:45:04 AM I'm using multibit and i have electrum on my phone. I never keep BTC on a website, once i decide i need coins on a website I send them, use them and withdraw them immediately.

Title: Re: POLL How do you store your coins? Post by: Catanonia on February 21, 2014, 02:12:11 PM On a QT Wallet on a Windows 7 VMWare that gets fired up only when I need to access them. VMWare is locked down and used for nothing else other than the wallets. It stores all my coins from LTC / BTC to TIPS.
This is then snapshotted and also backed up completely (snapshots as well) on my NAS and secure offsite once a month (just in case) My wallet is only ever open when I need it and normally for no more than 1 minute on the network. Title: Re: POLL How do you store your coins? Post by: Brangdon on February 21, 2014, 02:16:52 PM Does "online" mean a website? Or does "offline" mean cold storage?
I use Armory as hot storage, so I checked "other". Title: Re: POLL How do you store your coins? Post by: Lauda on February 21, 2014, 02:38:22 PM There are a ton of paper and QR backups around my house.
Title: Re: POLL How do you store your coins? Post by: Shermo on February 21, 2014, 02:54:23 PM I have a blockchain.info wallet for my short term stash and a chunk put away in an Armory wallet that is both printed as paper and stored on an encrypted pendrive with a linux virtual machine that has the wallet, these are stored in my fire safe :)
Title: Re: POLL How do you store your coins? Post by: proudhon on February 21, 2014, 02:57:02 PM I use Offline Armory with encrypted digital backups and paper backups in safes in a couple places across the country with trusted individuals.

Buy them from Coinbase/Local, then transfer immediately to Bitcoin-QT, then back them up to external. Title: Re: POLL How do you store your coins?

Post by: rohnearner on February 21, 2014, 05:43:15 PM i don't have much of them as of now, so not too worried about there security..! but use coinbase and bitcoin-qt, but the problem with qt is it takes too much time to synchronize still running some 110weeks behind on my system..!

Title: Re: POLL How do you store your coins? Post by: knight22 on February 21, 2014, 05:46:14 PM I'm surprised about how much people are actually using QT but that's a good thing IMO.
Title: Re: POLL How do you store your coins? Post by: rohnearner on February 21, 2014, 05:51:00 PM I'm surprised about how much people are actually using QT but that's a good thing IMO. Yeah but problem is that it takes too much time to synchronize I already mentioned but its some 110weeks behind in my system, does it make any difference ..!

Title: Re: POLL How do you store your coins? Post by: johnyj on February 22, 2014, 04:06:07 AM Electrum is really powerful, it's sign transaction offline function is secure
A hardware secured USB drive like Aegis secure key, install ubuntu and electrum on it, should be very easy to use and secure. The whole drive and OS is protected by the pin code, unauthorized access of the offline machine is minimum, this is very critical if you travel a lot Title: Re: POLL How do you store your coins?
