Ok. I'll admit yours is better advice. I'm just not into hardware wallets for now. (My computer is essentially a large hardware wallet; but that's another story.) you can't trust your phone or your computer. I don't trust anything. A guy using the official wallet with passphrase protection lost 16 bitcoin to malware last week posted on reddit. I see these posts more often now. I can appreciate the reasons to run a full node but security of your bitcoin is not one of them until Bitcoin Core supports hardware wallets. Sure you can use Armory cold storage but that is not very convenient. |

Not to sound negative about that guy's losses, but he probably did something else wrong that's not in the story, or that he's not aware of. |

$1786 on Stamp. Does anybody else feel this is going too fast? I wouldn't mind a period of consolidation for a bit now.
Sideways please.
Yes some consolidation is what I would prefer now too. We reached the upper trendline of the actual channel in log scale. So a bit of a cool down or some sideways movement is really appreciated before we it's getting too hot and therefore bubbly what I would like to avoid. |

The interesting thing is that there is a real demand behind this scale and this demand will keep existing in next weeks. Sure there will be some corrections, dips and all the stuff but I wouldn´t be surprised if this rise lasted a few more days.

Convenience is relative. Is it a slight inconvenience taking 10 minutes of my precious time using Armory to sign an offline transaction? I guess. ...but it's far, far more convenient than accidentally all my coins to malware.  |

Master seed can be split onto two stamped steel plates then stored in separate bank vaults in two different jurisdictions. |

The creation of them primarily. Unless you're diligent enough then you might be compromised when making them but there are enough tutorials to prevent that. |

Almost none. If you have the patience and the right spot to put them in they're the most secure way to store coins. The fact that they can easily be damaged is avoided if you keep it in a very cool, dark spot like a locked desk. None of the malware shit and also very good looking and presentable if you print a good design |

Do you own said tree? Some weirdo might take a fancy to it and decide to steal it during the night. Your wallet might be unearthed during the theft. |

Its on my family's land, its an old tree broken by thunder in half, planted by my great grandfather. No one will ever cut it, since it gives the best green apples. |

I'm sure he knows what he's doing. It's probably a peach tree that was hit by an airliner and it's on his aunt's land. Misdirection is the first line of protection. |
