Hi guisez

I know this question has been asked 1000 times but I never seem to see an option suitable for me...

I have 1 laptop and want to store a good amount of Bitcoin, how can I do this safely without worrying about then getting stolen / lost.
 
I have 2 brand new USB drives to store back ups of anything needed

So wizards, enlighten me?

A good start would be to explain why all the options you have read about are not suitable?

With CIYAM anyone can create 100% generated C++ web applications in literally minutes.

Don't do digital backups. It is hard to verify they are still good. Consider wirting/printing the relevant data.

Don't keep too much on a machine that is regularly connected to the internet.

Don't make the restore process too complicated. It is more likely that you forget how to restore a backup than it is for your coins to be stolen.

I could be biased, but I believe in my product... I'd say the Bitcoin Firesafe is the most secure offline storage method available.

I tried paper wallets but just didn't get confident. I'm moving to offline armory.
