Few more questions if you dont mind, help so far is appreciated
As ive said i want to hold multiple coins and ico tokens/coins. I have a windows laptop connected to the net (hot)
Im thinking below is a good way to keep secure correct me on any points if im wrong and if you can answer the questions i have:
keep only small amount of coin in a multi currency wallet - say jaxx on my hot laptop for ease of use, all others keep on a usb so its off the net (cold) if i need more n hot wallet send from cold wallets.
make a bootable windows usb so that if my computer is infected in any way its not compromised
use bitlocker to then create an encrypted folder on the bootable usb so if someone gets a hold of the usb they cant access the wallets.
take a copy of the recovery code for bitlocker and store somewhere safe
take a copy of that usb and keep in a different location in case say my house burns down
save all my wallets to this usb encrypted folder
Questions:
1. is the above ok and what can i add/change to better protect myself from theft/loss.
2. if someone gains access to my laptop and copies my wallet can they basically use my funds, jaxx only has a 4 digit numerical pass that would be easy to hack i imagine
3. if i copy my folder in usb where my wallets are stored (ie right click copy and paste onto a new usb) is that all i need to make a copy?
4. How often should i copy have heard every 100 transactions, does this mean that say for example i lose usb or send money to it when i then use my backup usb those new transactions will be there (even though i backed up before i done these transactions) or do i lose any coins that have been added since last backed up?
5. should i be backing up the wallets (ie taking copies) or should i be backing up the taking a note of the seeds/wallet.dat on my encrypted usb?
6. What happens when you buy an ico token for example i have bought MobileGo and Minexcoin when an ico finishes do i get a new offline wallet for that indicidual ico or can i store these coins tokens in an ether wallet, such as jaxx (want to store offline not on the net)
