For me because of the importance of private key, i saved it to my computer in a very complex folder location that i am the only who knows it and make it hidden, while the paper print of my private key is i stored it in the back of one of our picture frame on a very simple looking one.
I dont one to take a risk and save it to my email because im not really sure if it is safe there.
I want my very important thing stored in a place where others would not think of it that its in there.

Create multiple ways of storing your key. Printed, files on external hard drive and a ledger. The more the better.

I separated the Bitcoins from the paper wall for security reasons. I keep them in different places like 2 sheriffs. I have never kept both in digital, and I have not. I do not need a private key since the rest of the param is already in the exchanges. For the params on the stock exchanges, I wrote the 2FA code behind those purses again. Those wallets are safe for me on this. But it may still make sense to be very careful and make a change of wallet in between. I do not know if it is the safest way to create a different wallet, but it makes it a little harder.



BIG WINNER!

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
I have a hard copy in it in my drawer and save my private keys on my documents.Its advisable to keep our addresses and private keys on private inorder not to get lost or being access by anyone.I uses screen name in saving my device and keep it in a very safe place because once it lost its very difficult to retreive it if it is being hacked by anyone.

I use really a simple method.You may find it risky but I don't need higher security.So, I simply make a note on my mobile and put the keys on notepad and saved it.It's really easy for me and I can get the keys anytime I want.Also sometimes I saved Private keys on my telegram channel which run by me only.

Write in the paper, Or make it back up and put it on USB. I do not advise storing private keys on facebook messengers, emails, notes, and more that hackers can easily find and know.

Better to be sure, especially now it's money that we earned. It should not come to those who are lazy and what they want to do is steal money from other people

Save or store your  private keys in not just one place or storage. make back ups, hide it in personal notebook, in phone, and in storage devices like usb or memory card.

Paper + 2 encrypted USB: one in fireproof safe at home, other in safe in the bank.

I can not understand people storing it on the cloud, it is nothing but safe.

The private key is written on a piece of paper, and then your private key is saved through a hardware wallet, which is the safest and most convenient way to do it.

I would advice you to store your private key offline . If you have stored your private keys offline , it is the best option as chances of hacking decreases to negligible.

I store in the usual text document copied on several carriers. I add a quantity of symbols to all important keys and passwords known only to me.

I store my private keys in my a sticky notes app in my computer (with a password, of course). Also have one in a .txt file in my flashdrives, in my cellphone and other gadgets. I also have it written on my notebook in case all digital files are deleted. I have a lot of back up for my private key since I treat it as one of my most important possession.

I store it on my phone,and put everything on my notes,then put a password.  I also write it on my notebook,  a secret notebook ( small kind of notebook)  where all my transaction , my accounts and password are there 😂. So in case of emergency in the house,  I know what things I should save first 😂.

We really wanted to invest in which coin we initially started. How do you get more profit from which one's future is brilliant now what the bottom premium is not going to do now how to protect and how to secure the bottom of your way. I keep the security of all the accounts I have stored separately in several memories. Otherwise, you need to use a ledger, or you can save a few different memories and there is no other way. If you write in the paper you have a very high chance of losing ...

Storing it with my sd cards,duplicate in some encrypted folders in another device that i know that wont be compromised easily,paper wallet isnt going to be that secured as it can be hacked or destroyed.The best place would be to use the crypto steel which is available thru the ledger's website because you will find it more secured.

I hold my private keys on a flash drive and also made some few backups as well in case if I lose the drive or got stolen.
