...I am not sure if I myself will still remember how to decrypt it 5 years down the road nor will the software to decrpyt BIP38 still available...

Yes, exactly. So people in favor of encryption: how do you see this? What if BIP38 is not used anymore? How will I or my kids know how to decrypt the wallet?

1) you are safe... In case you're paranoid, you can always scratch the usb (dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/sdd1), but there is actually no need to do this.
2) i would personally just print out the pdf on a printer that allows you to boot from usb. Maybe restart the printer after you're done just to be sure.

BTW: i hope you did use encryption for you key. I think good encryption is really important when printing paper keys.

No I did not use encryption. The purpose here is long time storage. If I pass away, I want my kids to be able to spend my coins without having to remember a password.

I have a printer here that I am able to use from the Ubuntu pen drive, but it does have WiFi capabilities. Never used the printer over WiFi though. Is it safe to use that printer?
3  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Paper wallet question on: March 01, 2016, 02:56:04 PM
So I just created a paper wallet.

These were the steps I have taken:

- I created a Ubuntu 12.04 installation pen drive (drive I)
- I used the generator from BitAddress.org, saved the html file to another usb pen drive (drive II)
- Then booted up my pc from the Ubuntu pen drive (I) with the network cable unplugged
- I chose the 'Try Ubuntu without installation' option
- Generated a paper wallet by running the html file from BitAddress.org in a room with the curtains closed
- I printed the wallet to a .pdf file and stored it on my other usb pen drive (drive II).

Now I have 2 questions:

1. What do I do with the installation pen drive (drive I)? The 'Try Ubuntu' seems to be running in RAM only, but is it completely volatile? Or did it save my private key somewhere on the pen drive?

2. I would like to make a copy of the 'paper' wallet .pdf file and store it in the cloud, so I can restore it in case I lose the USB pen drive. Is there a safe way to do that? I know that the wallet can not be considered 'Cold' anymore once I do so, but I don't want to rely on this one usb pen drive only.

6  Economy / Services / [Bounty 0.02 BTC] I need USA phone verification by SMS on: November 10, 2015, 04:07:24 PM
I need help with SMS verification...

Prepaid and Google Voice numbers are not allowed, and they seem very strict about preventing people from using throwaway numbers.

Their system only accepts phone numbers from contract numbers.

So I need someone with an actual USA contract phone number (so no virtual number!) to receive my verification code.
 
Can anyone help me solve this problem?
