Where do you keep your private keys?? I need good ideas!!

[Omega Weapon]

Hello guys!

I wanna hear your opinions about that.
Where do you keep your private keys? In a safe? In your pocket? In your mind??

My private keys are just in the drawer as if they were worth nothing lol

I was thinking about buying a safe, but I think that big, so hard to hide, and just to store one piece of paper?

Give me ideas please =D

How to store your private keys depends on several factors, the most important is how much money do you have there? Since you state that you have nothing then do not worry too much, but once you begin to accumulate bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies it is a good idea to buy a hardware wallet and if you cannot afford one then create a paper wallet.

As I think you can go through a hardware wallet. By doing so you not need to worry about your private key.

Evento using a hardwallet you need to keep your mnemonic phrase, those 24 words.
This almost as the same on mobile or online or desktop Wallets, you always need to keep the words / privatekey safe

I guess it would be best to store private keys in your mind, like mentioned, but thats nearly impossibel,at least to me so just write it down - on paper not digital- if you think you need to buy a safe (in case of fire or robbing) to safe your money, then buy one! If it is worth the value, otherwise store a backup at a persons you really trust.
Or rent a safe at a bank..

I think to keep the private key better store it in a computer or store it in a mobile phone. But better keep it in mind but this is too risky

you better save your private key you have in a safe place as it is in the record books after that you store in a closet or you can also save it in your google account drive you have and don't use the google account to login on the device any except the most secure device.

In one of the art books, I read the method of encryption.
I converted it a little and used it to encrypt private keys.
Where to store it is not important, the main thing is not to lose them

My private keys currently stored is my USB drive and personal computer protected with a password  to ensure no one can open the files except me.

I think the priority is not to be careless about it. However, private key will be more saver if you can save it offline, anyway saving it online is a bad idea but riskier

I kept my private keys in a safe place. I put it in a note on my phone, then I secured it from the cloud account for doing some backups then I also write it down on my notebooks together with the other important files.

[Dudeperfect]

Well, I am using Trezor so I have a seed key and some paper wallets so I am using multiple backup copies and stored it in a safe location. I am not comfortable in commenting about it but it is safe and still accessible for my family members and I have some friends who will help my family members to liquidate my funds in case of my permanent absence or inability to do the same. I believe that bank locker is not a good option because you never know if your key is compromised or not until funds are moved.

For me you can write your private key in a paper or in a notepad and you can also use Microsoft office like word or excel and you are the one who know when you place it.

To keep your private key anywhere as long as offline is the best way through wallet papers. This involves printing your keys on a piece of paper then you keep it in a safe place should only you know. The printed key informs the QR code that can be scanned at any time for future transactions.

[onemoretime8520]

if you buy a safe everyone would understand that they are valuable keys and it is the first place for someone to look into valuable things, so in my opinion a safe would be a bad idea.

 all my private key  keep in usb flat drive to not lose and I wrote in my notebook for addition safety if my flash drive corrupted my key will recover because I keeping in my notebook because key is very important so you need more option to keep private key.

[vibingpositively]

I keep mine on a USB which is then kept in the bank. I have several copies of that USB and those are also in undisclosed locations across the country. Whatever you do, make sure it is locked up and make sure you trust the party that has it. Nothing would be worse than giving it to a friend or something and they take you for all you got. Also don't put all your eggs in one basket, diversify in case anything goes wrong!

I'm using a password protected container created by VeraCrypt. It has multiple encryption options and has ability to encrypt hard drives or flash disks. You can even create a hidden partition for more safety. If you are paranoid, you can put your container in another container. This will cause some performance issues but it will be safer...

I currently own a trezor and all trezor devices comes with this paper where you can write down the 24 words , I'm not gonna share exactly where i have stored it but some popular places to store them are at bank vaults or even just storing it in a usb and keeping it in a home safe

[Dread Pirate Roberts]

I have some places to backup my private key wallet.
I keep it offline in a paper at my house. and my book notes. and I also wrote it in the wall of my very closed house. maybe it's just me who knows it is a private key. important thing in keeping a secret is its place. and access to see it again.

[levvv]

just store it on the hard drive. dont store it on the could drive or email.
i usually save it on my computer and give password when open it.
