Anyway to "Cold Storage" USDT ?

[adaseb]

I haven't really used this feature in the past but I noticed that with Poloniex you are able to withdraw the USDT. Since the price is very high at the moment, was wondering if its possible to withdraw this, keep it in cold storage somewhere? Since I don't want to keep large amounts in exchanges where I don't have the private key.

Searching and Googling doesn't really provide much info, and the technology seems pretty new still.

Wondering if someone can give some input.

I am not sure, but I believe that this might work. Transfer the bitcoin to a offline wallet, from that you could import to an hardware wallet with all private key in your hands. If this doesn't work then converting to fiat and once again trying to import directly to wallet seems to have a small possibility.

you may as well use real dollars and leave them on an exchange because the risk is pretty much the same. you also have a genuine claim if the exchange fails.

there's this - https://wallet.tether.to/app/#!/login

and as it's an omni token i believe there's some type of wallet that comes with that, but i don't know about the cold storage part.

A normal bitcoin paper wallet generated in all the normal secure ways will work fine. Send the coins to that wallet address.

When you want to spend them then download and sync up the Blockchain with the Omni Layer full node and import the private key. 

Do the whole process to be sure first and send about $5. Once you are satisfied with the solution make a second paper wallet for the larger amount.

Yep, you can send any Omni/Counterparty asset to regular Bitcoin cold wallet and later retrieve it by restoring the private key. I have done it before and can confirm it works.

Can I store USDT in a ledger nano S?

Seems like it might be possible with Armour according to

However the other issue is that how can we gaurantee that USDT will always stay pegged to USD when the prices for BTC are different between Bifinex/Poloniex and compared to other exchanges like Coinbase and Gemini.

Is the USDT market regulated or have some insurance? Because I can see one day this ending badly.

What do you mean the price is very high? The price is very low right now.

not as far as i can tell. their terms and conditions are not reassuring reading. i assume the dollars themselves are subject to regular bank insurance but it also looks like they're under no obligation to hand those dollars over if they don't want to.

Hmm, I am not familiar with the ledger nano S. I gues it is a hardware wallet? Any wallet, whether it be a hardware wallet or not, where you can retrieve the private key to your Bitcoin address would work for Omni/Counterparty assets.
