Security is certainly an issue today. At least someone with an idea has his priorities in order, security first. Thank you OP for your intelligence I hope you find the ways others failed at. Good luck sir.

I don't know how paper wallets works to be honest , but isn't the Private key written on the paper ? so basically it's not that safe , all someone have to do is steal that paper from you and you are done ? I personally prefer brain wallet even if it's hard unless you have a good memory.

I personally prefer brain wallet even if it's hard unless you have a good memory. That's why you should keep the paper wallet in a home vault or bank locker. It's safer than hardware or web wallets because the only way for people to get the private key is to go to your house/bank and get the piece of paper itself.

That's why you have to split in different wallets, different places. Or split the private key ![Tongue](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/tongue.gif) . But i doubt it;s likely that someone who breaks in my house would know what that piece of paper is and how to use it ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) In that case consider creating a lot of empty wallets and just leave them around your house in places that can easily be found ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif)

I personally prefer brain wallet even if it's hard unless you have a good memory. You are right about Private key. You can for example divide your Private key on three pieces and store them in three different places. I would recommend to focus on printer and print quality more. I do not trust my memory ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

You could also encrypt your private key using BIP-38. This will result in an key that is useless for someone that doesn't the password. However, this means that you will have to remember the password forever. ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif)

If you have a "dumb" printer is best. But most store a few prints in them. So use one at home, and oldest one you have.
And keep paper wallet locked up, safety deposit box etc.
I am in a signature campaign for a coin that you can store paper wallet in. Might take a look at something like this. It is meant for cold storage.

Don't forget that an old printer is the best option. A new printer could store the private key in the memory. Also, boot your computer from a Linux "live-CD". And keep it safe, make two or more copies. Avoid to scan the private key with a Smartphone cam if you don't want to spend de money. You could also encrypt your private key using BIP-38. This will result in an key that is useless for someone that doesn't the password. However, this means that you will have to remember the password forever. ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) I don't like that option, because I could lost the money forever. ![Undecided](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/undecided.gif)

theres no such thing as 100% safe, but closest you can get is make a standard paper wallet and keep it locked up in a safe
