I heard people say this is not safe because keeping it online is never safe it case it get hacked. Well if theres a fire or anything happens to your computer/apartment etc, then everything burns down, then what? I heard people say they have a safe and vault but would if its a huge fire etc. Thus my thoughts were as long as you have an online backup of it... make sure you put a long password for your email and also keepass, then you have access to it.
Here what i do for this, I take a screenshoot and change the format from .jpg to random format and change the file name and backup it on my android phone since android is pretty safe from backdoor or spyware. If you want make a backup online, then create a new email from gmail after that create really strong password and link your new email to your main email. After that upload your backup to google drive and set private or only you. You must create random password for new email, since you already linked your account then you can try forget password from your main email. But still if you dont have access to your main email then its gone :/ .
Do people here still not recommend this? I got a nano ledger s and thus keep my btc there. At the moment, i wrote it down on a piece of paper. The thing is i could type the seed in my keepass... thus if someone got my laptop, well they still have to know my password for keepass. Or if email get accessed somehow, they still need to get my password for keepass.
Probably some of them still recomend this.
Does anyone here have ideas on this? I heard people mention they break the 24 word in half or a few pieces and put it in secure location. Like i heard people say 2 different bank deposit boxes. Would that be smart? Of course theft could happen in those but very rare. But if you leave it in say 3 places, well if something happens in one place, well you won't have access to say 8 of words if you break it down into 24 words. Does anyone have thoughts on this?
I just split my word by 6 and safe it to my wardrobe and one on my pocket. Of course i still have backup on my phone just in case. So, i dont know about bank deposit boxes.
What is the best way to do this? Also heres another scenario. What if you travel quite a bit. I do this quite much and thus i keep my nano ledger with me. So where do i keep my 24 word seed then? The thing is with electrum with the 12 word seed, sure you could possibly remember the 12 words. I never tried but that probably wouldn't be that hard. Like imagine you remember just the first 6 words, that wouldn't be that hard. Now with the nano ledger s, 24 words is way too much.
Write some of words to paper and put it on your pocket. Lets say you remember 10 words (more is better) just write rest of 14 words on paper and keep it. Even if someone got this, they still need to find rest of your words.
Now obviously walking around anywhere with your seed is foolish. But if you travel quite a bit and have your nano ledger s with you, what is your best suggestion? But in general, should you store your seed in your home? Or in a bank or somewhere else? The other place someone mentioned that was interesting was imagine you have a box in casino where you keep money/chips there. That certainly seems like good idea but i dont have access to it.
I keep it on my home.
How many cases has there been where there was fire and someones laptop/computer and safe or their documents got destroyed? Certainly there has to be quite a bit. So does anyone have tips on this? The other thing was maybe store it in a usb drive in keepass and encrypt it and store it somewhere in the house where like in a box where it would look like nothing? The other thing i thought was how about breaking it in 2 or 3 pieces and putting it in a book etc? But of course you dont keep 8 words there. You add more words like a sentence and try to make it look like its just scribble?
Probably, my first answer can help you with this.
