What are the measures to keep your private key safe and in memory ? Are there any alternatives to retrieve the key back ?
From what I have heard you have no possibility to retrieve your password, so you need to keep it really secure and be sure that you would not forget it, write it down in every place that you only can.

Even if you use Bitcoin through Tor, the way transactions are handled by the network makes anonymity difficult to achieve. Do not expect your transactions to be anonymous unless you really know what you're doing.

Private key is what makes cryptocurrency special, one it is lost it can't be retrieved. There a lotvof ways to keep private key safe such as writing it on a journal (most reliable to me) that will be kept safe, device backup such backing the wallet on your devices up on another device to prepare for any crash that come on the system.

i think the wastes thing that will ever happen to a man is to lost or forget his private key, so it always better to save your private key in a save place because bitcoin did not have password reset once you lose it all you fund as been lose automatically.

What I did is I printed my private key in a paper and keep and I save also a copy in my phone memo I am not sure if that is safe.In that case I am sure I will not forget or lose my private key.

To keep my private key secure I record it or print out the private key that I use.
Until now I do not know how to recover lost / forgotten private key.

If you have erased your private key you will not have any other way to recover it. So you should always have a back up. You save all your copy to USB with your important information especially the private key.

It is good to be sure that these are our important documents. We should only double the security of our assets

On my opinion, you cannot retrieve back youe key to access your account, unless you make a new account.  I also experience this ones and I also don't know ehat to do, I do my best to retrieve it but it will takes so long to unlocked it again. The things that I do is I make another account and I copy the key of my count to my google drive so that I can remember it.

Have not read anywhere that private key is retrievable when lost and I don't think technology is coming to that because the uniqueness of blockchain technology encryption is in its private key.

If you lost your private key, then you lose all your bitcoin in your wallet as no other way to recover them. Better provide a print-out of your private key and place it in a safe places for your recovery if you need it.

i back up all my private key files in flashdisk, not only 1 but 3 flashdisk and  back up every week if i have new file to put on flash disk. i think to keep it safety with me is already enough and i don't want to save in cloud storage services

in theory i think the key will not coming back forever because as we cans see that the private key is shown once at the beginning when we create the wallet, after that the private key will not shown again forever, so if you lost your private key i htink it same that you lost your bitcoin on that address

if you forget the private key it is a big loss, because there is no way to restore it again, so better keep the private key in some apps do not just store it in one app, so if you forget you still have a backup.

Yes, best way is to print it on paper and store it in freezer. Or write it down to text file, winrar it and set password, make back up ofc and store in on usb flash drive.

We cant retrieve our private keys if it is stolen or forgotten. Make sure to keep your private keys and password and have a back up file when you forgot it or make some copy of your keys in flash drive or other things where you can save it.

I think writing it on paper will be safer than store it in the computer or any other gadget or mobile app. Write it down on the paper and keep it in the safe place. Because once you lose it, it will be hard for you to have it back.

If you lose your private keys, you ll lose your funds, that's it. It's impossible to recover a private key after its lost. The best thing to do is save your private keys in different places. Make sure they are saved securely. You can write it down on a paper and store the paper securely somewhere. I have seen different opinions regarding the idea of private keys. Some says private keys are the worst way for security. Infact the amount of cryptocurrencies that have been lost through lose of private keys are big.

If some one forget his wallet private he can’t do anything besides create a new one. Because private key is one the wallet  security, the function same like password. After you create a wallet make sure to put in a safe place, and if possible make an encrpyted password to make it more secure.
