Does anyone use a bank safe service to leave your trezor or whatever you use in there? I have been considering which would be the ways in which one could leave physical backups somewhere else than your own home. If you don't trust anyone to do a good job in keeping the device safe, the only way I see is that you either own 2 homes, which I don't, or that you hire a service in a bank where you can leave the stuff in there. Im assuming there's good security, and no one could realistically get in there, at least in any developed country. The only way would be that an employee is dumb enough to attempt a heist from inside but that's also unlikely.
Could you explain your experience doing this and what to considering when hiring such a service?
This is not a bad idea.
You are comparing two risks: one is self custody, the other is the bank becoming not cooperative returning your private key because external (heist, natural disaster) or internal (government action, inside job, security breach) reason.
It's a balance of risks: each one of us has to clearly assess those risks in order to decide the correct mix.
It would really be that impossible for someone not able to mind off about these possible risk on whatever decision they would be taking.Yes, it is really that on irony if you do let those banks handle out your PK's
which you could eventually done on your own but since you have doubts that you would be losing it then this is where you do make these banks as an option which would really be completely i dont see
for it to be that sensible on doing so.It is true that it will really be depending on how you do balance up those risk and on which one you would really be able to take.
If you could take care of those keys on your own then its your responsibility on keeping those intact and far from others awareness.
Just make it sure that it would be accessed by your family once you die suddenly.So its still needing some preparation on any angle.
