Hi,

Does anyone know where I can hold my bitcoins on a server and have them insured against damgage theft?

Someone referred to bitcoins that are not online as being in "cold storage," and that sounds strange to me.

I have a laptop that is not connected online and I was just think about storing the coins on there.

Thanks.
David

There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, but full nodes are more resource-heavy, and they must do a lengthy initial syncing process. As a result, lightweight clients with somewhat less security are commonly used.
