So, you've got all your precious Bitcoins locked up in cold storage... you've take all technical procautions...
but then a gunman breaks into your house and says he's gonna shoot you in the face unless you turn over your private keys.
You could try to thwart this by preparing a decoy wallet or two, but do you trust yourself not to buckle under the pressure?
My solution:
You have a transaction already loaded which sends most of your cold storage funds off to another secret wallet which you have the keys to in a safe deposit box.
When the gunman breaks in, you hit a button, and boom, the transaction is broadcast, you no longer have your coins there.
Or, if you are caught off guard, you say, sure you can have my coins, let me login... you "login" or access a secret URL, and it whisks away your coins to saftey while giving a decoy address... If under pressure later, you can reveal the other address, but now its too late, the coins are gone.
thoughts?

thoughts? The whole gunman breaking into your house thing is absurd. How does gunman know which house to break in? This scenario sounds like fear-mongering pro-gun fiction. If you have any real wealth stored in a paper wallet it belongs in a safety deposit box anyway, not in your home. They are very affordable.

Aren't yours? after you've been whipped 100 times by a rubber hose, the security of that wallet is in serious jeopardy.

I don't think you got my vision... they wouldn't know you sent the coins to anyone else... all they would see is a DIFFERENT account with a small amount of coins. Never mind... if you don't understand or dont get it i dont have time to explain it to you, sorry Just remember, when people start talking about people getting tortured for their private keys, you can say good ol Jonald Fyookball had a solution.

Tell the gunman that some of your addresses are booby trapped. If they are moved, then a bounty is setup to trace the spender and kill that person. Then tell him to have a nice night.

If someone is threatening you physical harm it is almost always advisable to do as they say (at least when it appears plausible that they could actually inflict such harm)

If you're really worried about this scenario why don't you just keep your cold storage in a safety deposit box?

mmmm cranberry juice.... I don't think you got my vision... they wouldn't know you sent the coins to anyone else... all they would see is a DIFFERENT account with a small amount of coins. Never mind... if you don't understand or dont get it i dont have time to explain it to you, sorry Just remember, when people start talking about people getting tortured for their private keys, you can say good ol Jonald Fyookball had a solution. i do understand .. but you dont grasp the reality, hense my little joke about the cranberry juice if someone is coming to your house 1. they know you have more then satoshi dust 2. they done enough research to find you 3. if all you give them is the dust, they know your stock pile is somewhere else and that your not dumb enough to send it to a stranger.. so 4. expect more pain. 5. even if you say the address you sent it to was someone else. you will have more repeats of (4) the only solution is to not be so public about your riches, especially about where you live.. as the guy that just broke into your house wont walk away singing a merry tune unless he gets ALL that he came for..

Well you can explain it's in a multisig wallet, 2 of 3 and you literally can't give him any coins.
That's the solution that's been proposed before. Yet with multisig you lose your own flexibility , so this is kind of best of both worlds by instantly converting Your brain wallet to multi sig or other off site storage.

Not many people trust this, but PVC pipe makes a hell of an impact weapon. It's light, solid, and easy to wield in enclosed spaces such as your entryway. Now the booger has a gun, right? I'll be taking that gun and raising the ante by knotting up his head just as fast as rabbits can breed. And that is truly very fast, folks. So, once the booger has been rabbit thrashed, I'll make a deal with him. I call the cops and make his soon to be nickname at the jailhouse official (Rabbit Punch), or a Ill decline and auction his weapon off for a small BTC fee plus any damage occurring during the incident. Sounds fair enough to my emotional pain and suffering.

I don't exactly advertise the fact that I have bitcoins. People that flash their wealth around are generally the ones targeted for something like this.

sounds almost like Plausible deniability in that case the plausible is the small amount sent automatically from your "smart safe"

thoughts?
So the gunman will kidnap you and torture you, until you send your bitcoin to their address
