I do have confusion regarding this issue but still i have kept the private key in a safe secret folder in my computer but still sometimes i feel insecure so i may transfer the private key in a flash drive but then again all these usb drives can also get malware, virus or get corrupted so im still confused.

Personally I do prefer storing my keys offline to prevent third party Acess and also incase of computer hard disk breaking down.
One may ask, are paper wallets safe enough from relatives and friends?
My reply is that I have developed my own language whereby I represent the vowels in the alphabets in other to with some special characters which only myself, I mean no other person can interpret.

Did you think it over what happens if something happens to you? From what you write it does not seems so. Also what happens if your place catch fire. Do you have your private keys anywhere else?

i store my private key with 3 ways, that is :
1. save on USB Flash Drive
2. Save on Mobile Phone
3. Save on Google Drive
but later I will buy Ledger Wallet to save cryptocurrency that I have, because many people advise me to save cryptocurrency that I have in Ledger Wallet to be more secure.

For me, I stored my private key both online and offline. My online storage is basically on my phone and google drive. As regards offline storage, I have a paper wallet where all my privates keys are written bold and clear.

so far I have kept my private key well without any problems at all and hope bad things don't happen to me. I keep a private key using flasdisk, a copy on my cellphone and also a sheet of white paper. I think it's safe on the other hand, I'm always careful in using PC / PHONE to avoid problems.

[sulendra12]

For myself, I store it on my external harddisk and put it at the safe place just to make sure that I have everything on my sight safe. I don't even tell my parents where I put my harddisk on, I don't want my money get stolen.

Private keys, something very essential. Storage of private keys is indeed mandatory safely, as safe as possible. We can back up these private eys offline on our laptop and hard drive. Why? Because if you only store it on your computer or laptop and don't have other backups, you will be very vulnerable to damage and loss. I personally always have back up at least 2 or 3 places.

In order to prevent hacking, of course, we should keep a good private key. Saving in offline data will be safer and not only stores private keys on a single computer. So if one computer hits, we still have another computer.

If you hold some reasonable quantity of crypto assets, your best bet is to get a hardware wallet (Trezor, Ledger..) and keep them as you would your valuable document. It is nice you have developed your unique vowels to encrypt your private keys, the downside is that it locks every other close relative or wards who are suppose to have access to your funds in case of an emergency or instances when you are incapacitated to do so.

The private key should be well stored and I saved it offline. And this is very safe because all my friends are not familiar with the crypto. Even to be safer again that my computer uses the passcode. So far I have not-hacking and my digital assets are still safe. And I suggest that never anyone else use your computer's device.

That's true must never to use our computer device those private keys we have. Must better to save on it to USB or any offline device we have, As of now we need to be careful always to our important keys and never share it even if our close friends and family.

computer that we used working in bounty and trading activity must be different that we used for daily activity.saving private key on different device will help us to avoid malware attack.and dont forget to keep it for our self.

I stored it in one of my emails, I seldom use that email, and the email is well secured with phone verification, I don't have a ledger now but I will soon buy again, this is important if you have a large portfolios, but first you must educate yourself on how to safeguard your private keys.

No, Don't tell your friend about your private key.
Exeption, when you have old age and have a wife to heritage your assets, it should your wife know how to use your bitcoin and where your keep private key.

This is very interesting. For me I have three different files kept at different locations and so for instance in regards to the twelve mermonic keys I always split them into three and keep a set in each of the files. This too I do it in a special way that it will take more intelligence for you to decode even if you have the three files

I agree that this is interesting. But I would give everyone a advise here, keep your private key is a safe deposit box, yes you heard me right. Don't store your private keys is a cloud or even at your home, put it on placers that others won't easily access, just saying.

I saved it on my hard drive and also uploaded it to my google drive. And I also changed some of the contents with code that only I knew so that if anyone saw it they could still do nothing about my private key.

I normally save my private key in my  Google drive, I also save as draft in my mail, paper wallet isn't much use for me cos I see it as not been safe  but i love the illustration of how you use yours, it's kind of unique as it allows only you able to interpret it so I will give it a try too

[passwordnow]

I'm not keeping my private keys on computer or any soft copy. I prefer to write it down and keep the pad somewhere that can't be reached by water. Paper wallets can also be a good way to keep, it's like the same strategy on how I keep my private keys.

This is dangerous, save it offline and delete it on any cloud storage including google drive and your mails draft immediately.

The Private Key must be stored in the safest place to keep from what we don't want, because the Private Key is very important ... I keep the Private Key in Drive ...
