It hit me recently: should I really be keeping my bitcoin private keys in my sock drawer? I’m sure many people have had similar realizations as they’ve watched both the acceptance and value of bitcoin grow.
I decided that I wanted to store some of my private keys in a safe. Something from Wal-Mart may suffice for certain purposes (paper money…cough…cough), but I wanted something special for my bitcoins: something extremely secure, something easy to get in and out of (my new safe has a finger-print reader), and something that would look great in my office.
After a lengthy internet search, I decided that Brown Safe made safes that best fit my requirements (
http://www.brownsafe.com). The trouble was: if bitcoins are worth the trouble and expense of high-security storage, then shouldn’t I be able to purchase such a safe using bitcoin?
Understandably, bitcoin is a new technology and it takes a while to become comfortable with all of its benefits. But I think I got through to the great people at Brown Safe in my last email when I pointed out (a) the credit card hack at Target that compromised 40 million people, and (b) that Overstock.com now accepts bitcoin so “you guys should too.” Earlier today I received an email:

Followed by an invoice emailed from Coinbase:

Mission accomplished and I’m looking forward to my new safe!
Now, I didn’t get anything
this fancy but I do know a certain forum member who may be looking for something like this to match his new yellow Lamborghini:
