You don’t have to be a genius nor do you need any special methods to store your private keys. Pen and paper is fine.

That’s what I learnt from watching Andreas. Here’s the link of the video if you need it:

That's goo but way too hard since we need to fill it up anytime, I prefer just a protected notes or excel wherein only me can access saving at my phone and a qr code in my physical wallet, no one knows what it is it since closes people did'nt know yet I deal with crypto.

I kept my private keys by saving it on my files in my phone storage and taking care of it very well. And i have a notebook only for my personal uses about bitcointalk but i do make sure to put it where my children cannot reach.

Obviously the best thing to do is to store your private keys offline either on a USB or SD card or a hard drive, in multiple versions in case that some of them damage overtime. That is the best and safest thing to do. Dont tell anyone how many bitcoins you own or where do you hide it because then you have to expect to be attacked, either online but also offline, your house coule be robbed if we are talking about a big amount of bitcoins. If nobody knows about your bitcoin it is impossible to know that you have bitcoins stored on a SD card/USB

I keep my private keys very safely, saving it in my phone no one can open it because it have a password. I also made a copy of my private keys in my flash drive and i wrote it in my notes. Incase my cellphone was stolen or when it is not functional anymore, i have another copy to access my account.

funny thing is, you can hide anything anywhere and nobody will really notice it that much.
private keys could be saved in an encryted flash drive or hard drive kept safely somewhere

or create a text file, decode it so it be understandable to anyone but you.

or put them in your mobile phone and lock with a passcode or something.

in all...keep em safe somwhere.

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

the way I keep the private key is unique
there are 2 private key I have
1 private key contains 80% of assets and that is for hodl purposes
and other private key contains assets of 20% for daily purposes

the main private key I keep in flashdisk in the form of .rar that is in the password, Flashdisk I hide in a safe place without being touched by the internet

I suggested that you can keep or store your private key into your favorite and unforgetable place or things therefore you can easily retrieve or remember where did you store it. But most of it, the best storage that you can be surely secured your private key is I think it is when you store it in only your mind. Nobody can know it except to you.

Just hide it, or paste in hard drive or the idea that you will write it in a piece if paper. Haha, and for me tell your parents or family about your private key so if you lose it, you have a spare one.

Print at least 3 copies of it and store it in different places that you most likely go to. Or you can buy a ledger for extra security, I think it is available online for you to buy. Never forget to also store soft copies of it in you computer and in your cellphone for emergency purposes. Either way, it is based upon the attitude of the user how his/her private key will be kept safe and organize.

Don't put your private keys on your drawer as if they not worth, that means is careless. To protect my private keys i save it to the two USB and write to paper and i put on place that I never be forget. Private key is very important in our life in Crypto World and don't negligent,be careful on how it's worth.

I dont store it in a safe and certainly not in a drawer. I like to digitally store my private keys cause it's safer that way cause storing it in a paper wallet or usb drive can be risky it can be misplace, lost, stolen get burned but if you digitally store and put it in different wallets with small amounts. I guess your money safe although not 100℅ but its safe.

That is a good idea. I personally store my in paper form, digital form. Trying to get the memorization part done but not sure how that is coming along.

I still believe Digitally is better.

Txt files in an encrypted folder on multiple SD cards.

I wouldn't do a safe. I certainly wouldn't leave it in a drawer either. With a card you can bury the file in a mountain of others, tape them in obscure places, hide them creatively, split the keys between different cards.

No doubt certain cards will fail over a long period of time so you want multiple redundancy. And you only want to create them and open them on a machine that's never seen the internet.

If I did only have paper I wouldn't want it where I lived. These days safe deposit boxes are really hard to find so I'd prefer something I can create myself that's easily hidden.

Exactly this. Although I do keep a copy or two in my safe, also a few spread between houses of family who know not the slightest about crypto, just to keep the SD & seed node papers safe.
Yeah me too I encrypted it in SD card to make it safe.No matter happened we should keep our private key secured because if it will be hacked we dont get nothing but zero balance.
