Title: from cold storage to trezor
Post by: meier on September 08, 2014, 06:47:48 PM
hey all, i currently keep my coins in cold storage. paranoia coaxed me to purchase a trezor, so now i plan on splitting evenly between the two. if your coins were also in cold storage would you just keep them there?  my concern being my armory paper backup is in a safety deposit box and i've never been too happy about that.  thoughts?

If you own a big amount of coins you should split them into several different storage systems like dvds - usb pens - trezor - paperwallets to minimize the possibility of losing them all.

Make sure to transfer the rest of the funds to a new paper wallet whose key has never seen an internet-connected-computer. Or sign the transaction on an offline device and only then publish the transaction, without connecting the computer with the private key to the internet!
