Where do you store your seed?

[sapnu]

I know many way to securely store seeds and most of those become so hard and not satisfactory for me as i don't want to make things complex.i Simply write my seeds on note paper in laptop, then save it.then make some copies, transfer those to my smartphones, also upload to my google drive, so that i never lost them.note that, i don't use that gmail anywhere but only to keep a copy of my seed.of course hackers can't access my gmail cause they don't know about those but i know if my computer get attacked by virus, then that maybe risky for seed but i like the way best for myself

There's actually a lot of ways for you to save your seed, just make sure that those drivers are only accessible by you only to prevent other people from stealing that important information. I think it is better to use your personal computer since it is only staying in your house, instead of using a phone because you can lose your mobile phone at any time. It is also fine to store that important information on online storage, just make sure it is secure that only you can access that.

Personally I do not trust any electronic programs or apps for keeping my data there, especially seeds or keys to wallets. So I do not recommend this to others. Of course the most riable place fo keeping such things is offline not connected with your gadgets place. Because to find the information on any of your gadgets will not be such a big problem for different tech genius.

So what do you use?paper wallet or Hand written?Nano Ledger is also electronic program though offline,But i can assure you just like many user that you are safe having there your cryptos.

In my opinion, each of us should write down the private keys in our wallet on a piece of paper in the form of coding and keep it in a secret place.  So that no one understands that it is the private key of a wallet.  Because online is never safe.  Any time it could crash, it could be hacked.  So each of us should figure out a way out of the alternative.

I think the best place for storing you phrase is offline. Maybe on your diary but at least 2 - 3 places. But if you will store it in your diary or something similar, then you don't have to make it obvious that it's your phrase. You could spilt the works on different pages so it doesn't make sense to others. For those who's phrase are 12, you could cram it. 12 words isn't much afterall.

[TedMosby]

the private key / seed is a private thing.
I regularly checked on this thread to get new insight on how people store their private key /seed.
steganography is my favorite, but I haven't tried it yet.

maybe this is optional, but...
wherever you store your private key or seed, make sure to have some guidance for people who you trust the most, to tell them that you own crypto.
you could consider reading the discussion on the thread below.

I think what you are doing is right but when you are experiencing memory loss it will make it difficult for you, it's better if you can save it on Google Drive, Facebook Chat, Telegram Chat or if you can also combine it by printing out and after that You can layer it with hard mica so that you have the phrase in physical form and only you know how to open it.

Unlike most of the users here, I have stored my seed online. I know that there is always a risk of someone hacking in and stealing the seed, but I believe I have taken all the necessary precautions. Even if there is a chance, it is going to be extremely low (like 0.000001%). I am not very comfortable with writing down the seed on paper and physically storing it. IMO, it carries a greater risk.

Storing important data such as private key and seed in Facebook Chat, Telegram chat or other related social media is discouraged due to their vulnerability to hacking. Storing them online is much riskier than offline. It's also good to secure it by using a flashdisk because in my opinion it is much better.

Use two flashdisk to store them safely and put them in two different place. Instead, you can also increase security by creating folder with security keys.

Loss of memory? That's a quite a rare case. Besides, the places you just mentioned are quite accessible by people. Anyone can open your facebook chat, tg chat, google drive easily.

I've seen a lot of creative ideas above, but I think most of them are unnecessary. I wrote my seed on paper and tried to memorize it and then burned the paper. Actually, it is really easy, only has 24 words. If you read only for one hour, you can memorize it very easily.

Is it really work to memorize the seeds? I don't think so. Because it can be forgotten after a few months or years. Normally, you can not be engaged a few weeks or months with trading or you can forget to enter the exchanges. So it is not surprising to forget seeds if you don't note down it. Only memorizing is a risky thing.

I have stored my seeds on the drive, Google notes, offline store in my laptop and mobile and lastly in the paper by writing.

You have a good discussion of all the possibilities that can happen in terms of options for keeping your wallet seed, that's really cool, there are a lot of ways of course, but every method has a loophole somewhere, I believe in fate if you are destined to lose your coins it will be done by stealing your password or Stealing the paper on which the seed was written and all the other possibilities that you mentioned, so I do what I have to do, and in the event that one of these possibilities arises, this is my destiny.
For me I store it on a white paper and I also store it in a file on the computer that is encrypted with a password and contains many normal things that make it difficult to know that this is a seed in a wallet in case the file is stolen and decrypted.

Saving in good drive and chats? Do you think it is safer way to store all your assets in such places?

Google drive or chats are not encrypted even though the company claim it was,.so just prefer offline storage for important data to be stored.

[Question123]

There is both chances to lose your seed once you did not keep in well place. A lot of people write it down their seeds to the paper because it is more safe than the saving it to the online because it is risky to hack. Even offline you save your seeds there is still possibility to lose and many others gone their coins because of keeping in a wrong place but or maybe you make your own code that you are only understand and save it online to become more safe.

Better storing on google drive? Facebook? You will end up losing all of your stored BTC eventually because saving seeds through anh online device or even devices which barely get connected online are risky. Offline is the best way to store it; have it on your private diary or on your private locker.

Initially, I store my wallet's seeds on notepads on my Desktop or phone. But I always remove them as soon as I already wrote it on a piece of paper.
The best place to store these kind of authentications is on things that doesn't use internet which is prone to hackers.

There are so many ways to recover the seed, all i do is write my seed in a notepad and save and encrypt it in an image for backup, then to google drive and computer where I saved it. I think this is the best and safest way.

Of course it's possible. If the average person can memorize their phone number, account number, some can memorize words from a movie, we can definitely memorize the mnemonic phrase. All you need is time. And once you've mastered it, only death can take it away.

Did you just say safest way? I don't see how wise or safe it is that you store your phrase in your google drive account. People's google account can be hacked (if not by a stranger, then by someone around you). You need to store it in a place with a higher security.

Most likely, this person is just trolling you. Storing this phrase on Google drive is as stupid as just posting it on your social networks - those who do not need it will not even understand why it is and what it is, and those who know what it is - it will not be difficult to open your Google drive or any other cloud storage. It is best to store such items on cold wallets and duplicate them several times.

I had an electrum seed and wrote it on piece of paper.  I then decided to write it on a password program like lastpass/keepass.  So in order to get into the lastpass, you need a password.  And i put the lastpass in dropbox/google drive and store it there.  My thought was if someone somehow hacked into my gmail/dropbox, well they still need the password to my lastpass in order to get into my electrum seed.  I put the electrum seed in there as i type it out a long with my other bank account and everything whether its online site or anything.

But i don't trust Gmail or Dropbox to have my passwords or any other important documents i have,I don't knw but i felt not safer having them connected in my crypto assets.
I felt like this since there are so many issue of Google selling or letting others have our Data's so i tend not to use them in any crypto or money related things.


I would rather write my seeds in paper and store this in a very secured and secret places 1 place each of them so even if there have made access in one,at least others are protected and will stay safe for a matter of another time.
