But always I discourage to use paper wallet anyway. There was much reason why I discourage to use a paper wallet. And the most important reason already post by you. The phishing attempt is the main prevention of use paper wallets. Users would lose the funds at any time. Another is unaware of proper uses especially change address, saving seeds, encryption with passwords, and so on. Thanks for creating this thread. Hope others would get the correct reason why should avoid using a paper wallet.

Users would lose the funds at any time. This is not the only problem, but you need to make sure that paper wallet code is perfect and has no bugs.Many beginners think that once you generate your private key offline, this means that you are safe. Also, the method of generating addresses, obtaining multiple addresses and saving private keys increases the risks that can be avoided by using any HD wallets.

No other wallet can guarantee such security like Paper wallet.I think coolcryptovator only wants newbies to avoid trusting paper wallet services from websites they aren't aware were only Phishing sites. Paper wallets are indeed the safest ones to store your credentials IF and only IF you would use pen and paper to store your public and private keys rather than using an online platform to create it for you. The only reason it should not be suggested is because people and newbies to be exact tends to search it on websites like google and use the websites shown in there without further searching on what is the most effective way. I've seen tons of users searched and used such phishing websites and it is really alarming hence making others discourage newbies to use it. |
