Ok guys please look beyond my comment about paranoia. Note I used a smiley which means it was just a joke.

I also made a useful suggestion about paper backups while you guys have yet to suggest anything. So let's get back to the topic at hand.

If you own a lot of coins then why not? You can never be too safe.

Wow you are truly paranoid Smiley

About the paper backup you can now do m of n backups in armory. That is total n backups of which you need m to restore the wallet. See this thread:

You aren't paranoid if it's really happening.

dead man switches

Edit: meant to say email death switches sry - encrypted for private keys or passwords (to say a LastPass account) & the recipient/s have the de-cryption instructions & know to expect the mails so aren't sent to spam, plus an account enabled Yubi Key in the LastPass case.

I have recently installed Armory on my everyday PC, plus on another machine not connected to the outside world. I've created my wallet on the offline machine and a watching-only copy which I have imported into Armory on the onliner machine.
I have a paper backup of the wallet printed (immediately after installation) which I will keep safe in multiple locations.
I've transferred a quantity of BTC into the watching-only wallet.
Anything else I need to do?
