Well there is an vulnerability with USB drives as we have found out and disc only have a lifespan of about ten years. Although I saw something today that might just be the best for digital storage of a wallet. mdisc http://www.mdisc.com/ 1000 year rated dvd's where the files are written to "stone" and it will play in most drives where as the blue ray disc will play in all, better yet they aren't that expensive. They are more durable then regular disc and can take a beating but just still can't be bent in half without snapping, there isn't much more you can ask for in a long term disc. This seems to be perfect for people wanting to people their wallet data or private keys on a disc. A private key is 256bits long. You don't need 25GBytes of storage to store it. A sheet of paper and a pen are all you need.

Emboss the 256bit number on a strip of stainless steel using a tapewriter. End of Problem. No need for computer or digital storage for a simple 64 place hexadecimal number.

Have it embossed on arts and pictures or even steel plates that lasts very long so that way they wont even suspect anything. they might just thought it is just part of other things not related to bitcoin.

This seems to be perfect for people wanting to people their wallet data or private keys on a disc. You could write your private key on a piece of paper, this can last longer than ten years. The private key is not that large so you do not need an entire disc to store it. A private key is 256bits long and 256 really is not that large and you could even convert it to a shorter hexadecimal number of 64 characters. ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

The Dremel/Chromium thing is cool, But I would go lower tech than that if I wanted it to last 100 Years.. Use the paper backup from Armory, that will (should) always work. Use a Credit Card Size Plaque made of Stainless Steel. Punch The number set in using an Alphabetic Punch Set like This; http://www.sunsetcrystals.com.au/metal-punch-stamping-sets-4mm/http://www.sunsetcrystals.com.au/images/P/uppercase%20basic%20stamp%20set%20-%204mm-2.jpgNail it to the underside of your house, or somewhere that no one is going to be passing regularly. Make it somewhere you could easily describe to someone, like if you are in an ambulance. Possibly make a wooden sleeve for it, so its not obvious, or possibly fold in half, so it can't be read by just glancing at it. The code requires no password, so take care where you put it. You could cryptically remove or reorganise, but to me, thats asking for trouble. And obviously TEST THE RESTORE before putting it away and forgetting it. ![Cool](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cool.gif)

The disc might have a 1000 year life span - but will there be a device available to read it, 1000 years from now (or even 100 years )? Engrave the keys into gold and it'll last 10000 years easily. Probably longer than Bitcoin will exist. Or just spend all your coins now, so you won't have to worry about storage anymore... ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) ya.ya.yo!

any disk is not good thing easy to scrape paper is always good but can be lost or something else. Laminating is good choice always, but engraving to some gold or something else is bad. You may sell that engraved gold later cuz you need cash ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) anyway to many ways to preserve something you can always dig hole and put coffin in hole and make treasure map. ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif)

Although it would stop an attack from gaining access to your private keys, it would also prevent you have having access to them as well, which defeats the point. Your ideal solution would be something that cannot be easily destroyed and that cannot easily be 'hacked' by an attacker

Well even though this is a neat thing that I did not know about, it is not the best way to store your wallet. I'll still say that the best thing (or better) that you could do is engrave the private key onto a piece of steel or something similar. The proceed by smashing up your wall/floor putting it inside and fixing it back up. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)
