Best practice for protecting your wallets

[udt89]

I'm just about to start mining btc and some other alt coins

What's the best practice to protect myself from theft, hardware failure, etc?

Go offline for the best security, presume everything on your computer/online is exposed... Paper style wallet or card in fire proof safe/deposit box.

- make sure you have clean and secured computer
- encrypt wallet
- make backups of wallet
- put large amounts to offline computer
- make paper wallets

This should protect your assets pretty well.

What do you mean by paper wallet?

Is there an online tutorial that shows best way? Do I buy thumb drives to backup each wallet? Can I have multiple copies?
