Where do you store your 24 word phrase?

[jerry0]

You say don't put it on google or dropbox.  Well what if you use a program like lastpass or keepass?  Thus someone would not only need your password for you google or dropbox account, they would need the password for your lastpass or keepass.  Isn't that going to be very hard or is that really possible?

I once thought that I should save the private key because if the storage on the PC is not entirely safe because the PC can hack at any time. If you keep it on the GG driver, it could hack, and I see a lot of people who have hacked into Gmail.

I'm not exactly mentioning where I kept my 24-word seed phrase but I have taken enough security precautions so even in the case of natural calamities it won't affect my seed phrase. Yes, I agree with the fact that one should never make any kind of digital copy of that seed phrase but maintaining enough handwritten backup copies is sufficient. I would also recommend storing such phrase backup copies in multiple geographical locations to avoid any accidental loss.

I know the story when a guy printed his code on paper. The newspaper was stolen by his acquaintance, who transferred all the money from his wallet to himself. Based on this, I would not recommend a paper wallet.

Storing them it on a computer, usb or a paper is the most common method people use but I think there are many creative methods such that you put that 24 words in your homework in a way that only you can see those 24 words.

just use flashdrive with some copys and keep it in safe place which i only known about , nobody need to have access to this words only you and may be 1 verified member more.

I guess I'm lucky because I have the perfect hiding place at work.

It's part of my job to manage a very large MySQL database on a secured server (besides me, only one person has admin access). It has several text fields, and my 12 words Electrum password is hidden in there. I can access it easily because I know the relevant unique ID, but it would be impossible to find it using any SQL request.

This is my advice: hide text within text. If you're smart, you could hide a 24 word phrase right here, on this board (but you'd need a backup in case this website goes down).

[jerry0]

Can someone explain the flash drive exactly how its done?

[sunny7408]

You can save its on gmail or write in a diary or you can mail by youe personal mail to your another mail.

If you do not want to leave any kind of trace of your seed words and you don't want to risk to store your words on the Internet or in some kind of digital device then the only option that you have is to remember those words write it down and try to remember them, it may seem hard at first but if you do that for some minutes every single day eventually you're going to remember them and after some time those words will be imprinted in your long term memory and you will never forget them.

If you have 2 safety deposit boxes at 2 different banks, would you say its close to 100 percent safe if you leave one piece in each safety deposit box?  I heard people mention this.  Because in order for anything to happen to it, the thief would need to get access to 2 different banks.  However, the thing is if it was accessed, you wouldn't have a clue because its not like if you leave cash there, well you find out the cash is gone.  Because someone could just write down the words or take picture etc.


But if you leave it in 2 different safety deposit boxes at 2 different banks, thats pretty much as safe as you can get?  But even if you do that, should you still keep a copy of it at home just in case?  Because say something happens to that deposit box and your seed and its gone.   Then your wallet stops working such as nano ledger s, then aren't you screwed? 


Because there doesn't seem to be any way where its very good safety measures here.  Like if you leave it in your home, well there could be a fire etc.  If you leave it online encrypted, say in your google or dropbox but do so with using a program like lastpass or keepass encrypted... then wouldn't that be pretty safe?  That way you don't have to worry about anything physically happening to it?  Has there been cases where ppl type their 24 word phrase in say lastpass or keepass and kept it in say gmail or some other cloud service and got hacked?  But that person would need to hack not only gmail or other email, but also the lastpass and keepass.  Thoughts on this?

The best thing about ico marinecoin is that it’s free, and the Marinecoin community is great. I know that they spread zero fees around the world every minute.  Marinecoin is still in the underwaters see it surface from the underworld.It is now back with a new team of developers an a growing community. You can learn more about the new POP system visit the website https://marineco.in intelligence. Who knows what the value of mtc will be, but all cryptocurrency is time tested borrowing from Bitcoin code base. It is just a matter of getting utility (usefulness) out of any altcoin.

I write it down and keep it somewhere I know I am the only one that can get it and understand it. I also have a back up written down somewhere in a safe place.

[okissabam]

The answer about the dictionary was quite impressive, in fact that is what I am trying right now because just like the OP; I also scribbled down on a piece of paper the private keys and phrases to my wallet. I even thought I was the only one doing the old school thing because I was thinking most people would be sending screenshot photos to their email or whatnot and so I thought of just writing it down on a somewhat diary with some clues to figure out what the code was and just placed it on a small vault. And for travelling since I do travel a lot, I actually don’t touch my savings wallet so I would not be tempted to sell them.

My friend gave me a good idea, even if they torture me I can not give out all the information, these words are divided into 3 parts and divided between friends who live in different cities and do not know each other, everyone is instructed on all the cases that can happen to me and who needs to give these keys

You must have a lot of bitcoins that's why you made such a great security for your 24 words passcode. For me I have written down on a piece of paper and put in the closet where other precious items are saved like cash and gold.

Trying to get your hands on some 24 word phrases?Hahaha,.. joking. I don't think it's much of an issue to store it, it's not like someone will easily identify what it is and decrypts your wallet. First and foremost, don't store it on your computer or any cloud service, it's unsafe if sh*t happens, such as an email vulnerability, someone accesses your computer or even the HDD fails. Storing it somewhere safe in your apartment would be just fine.

[pjusmfox]

I just wrote on the notebook with my pen, and I also backed up in my mobile hard disk. I think it's the most important thing to develop good password habits. The loss of passwords is terrible. We must keep them where we can easily get them.

[obinine]

I'm not precisely specifying where I kept my 24-word seed state however I have avoided potential risk so even on account of common cataclysms it won't influence my seed expression. Indeed, I concur with the way that one ought to never make any sort of computerized duplicate of that seed expression however keeping up enough written by hand reinforcement duplicates is adequate. I would likewise prescribe putting away such expression reinforcement duplicates in different geological areas to stay away from any unintentional misfortune.

[StevenPop]

Actually I write it down in a place I know that no one would choose to look when looking for something like that and even if they find it they could never decipher it. Storing it on a phone or online is not an option.
