It is a common myth that Bitcoin is ruled by a majority of miners. This is not true. Bitcoin miners "vote" on the ordering of transactions, but that's all they do. They can't vote to change the network rules.

I think you only need a 2 or 3 back ups of your main one. You could write the private keys down as well, just keep them secure.

6 backups at the moment, encrypted on USB's and SD cards. Two of them are stored in safe deposit boxes (two different companies), gave two out to some trusted friends and buried the others up a mountain (in two different locations)  |

I store my wallet in a true crypt container with different password . So it will take more than thousand years to decrypt even you can accidentally get my file. It is quite safe.

I have 4 copies in different locations but thats only for my cold storage wallet.
That is risky, because if one is in the wrong hand, others become useless. I'd prefer to have only one that is well secured. No. You can have multiple layers of security. For example: 1. Set a good walletpassword. A long string, 35+char with special signs. 2. PGP encrypt the wallet itself. 3. Use stenography to put it inside a picture. What somebody peaking at your usb-stick would see would just be vacation001.jpeg etc, and no wallet.dat. They wouldn't even know it's there, and if they knew, they sure as hell would be unable to extract anything from it. You can also rent a few VPS'es, and save the wallets there (password protected wallets that are also pgp encrypted), and name it like something innocent, like wifi-driver.bin or something. So, even if your house burned down, you'd be safe. |
