Hello, i have built quite a respectable amount from altcoins in the past month. But i am still very noobish in the storage methods.

Can anyone tell me how to store all my altcoins. I do not want to store online or in anything connected to Internet. Do i have to store the wallet.dat file generated from the Backup Wallet option. If yes, can i store wallet.dat files of multiple altcoins in different folders on the same pendrive?

I am thinking about buying 5 high quality pendrives. What do you all say?

Have you tried looking in the ALT coin section?

It really depends on the ALT coin your holding, for an example. Name coin has a software based wallet similar to btc qt.

Heres the name coin discussion thread wallet: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=236375.0

If the ALT coin you are holding doesnt have a hard offline software based wallet, then another suggestion would be selling a small portion to bitcoin.

Yeah, not many altcoin enthusiasts hang around here. Especially professionals. So I reccommend moving the thread to Alternate cryptocurrencies for more exposure and a more suiting audience.

which paper wallet is that? As a total new newbie to the whole coin game, I was hoping to find a way to store multiple coins together in like a paper wallet or something. Just for ease. And not something that I have to download a bunch of stuff (all I have is a laptop with limited space). Is that even possible?

Install Ubuntu OS, install Bitcoin-QT, encrypt your wallet with a password after making it, use that OS for nothing else but accessing your Bitcoins.
If you want to use alt-coin wallets too, make a new user account for each one, and keep them separate as some alts can be Trojans!
Copy your wallet.dat files onto USB sticks and put them in a fireproof safe so you have a backup in case your hard drive dies or your house burns down.

http://www.ubuntu.com/download
https://bitcoin.org/en/download
https://litecoin.org/

Always remember if you don't own the wallet.dat file you don't own the coins. Never trust a 3rd party to hold your coins for you!

There are none at the moment for ALT coins.

The person meant, when you sell your ALT coins on the exchange. Then storing those bitcoins to a paperwallet, thats pretty much my understanding, unless I`m wrong.

Because I been searching for the same as well for different ALT coins.
