Won't do the hacker much good if the wallet was encrypted. (Since the coins are gone it probably wasn't or the wallet password was on the victims' computer. VERY BAD IDEA) Strong passwords usually thwart hackers. They look for weak ones and won't waste much time with on strong ones.

True. This might be better.
How about 50% in one cold wallet, and 40% in another cold wallet? Or different USBs with different wallets?
We all know that too few wallets means security risk (all in one basket) and too many backups means management problem so one has to find a middleway.
Recomend to use more than two backups. In worrying of "house burn", you can give one backup to someone you really trust. You can also have one backup at work, renaming the file to something else as Bluestreet recommended should be a must.

BTW, the chance or risk to get stolen is much higher at online exchanges than someone going to your home to steal your USB. Even if that happens the thief must know the password phrase to decrypt the file.


Regards and good luck!

thx , just started trading a few months ago and most of my coins are still on exchange.
will start taking my long term investments ofline.

just not sure about 90% of my dgb in 1 cold storage wallet with 2 backups.
Always worried  what if it gets stolen or  house burns down , u never know.

anyway thx for the tips.
will put them to good use!

Well, there are so many combinations one can do to secure their coins.

Totally 90% in Cold wallet.

7% on your harddrive on a computer.

3% on your phone. If 5% or 10% means millions for you then I'd say Gratz
I thought it was more like in the range of 5 % = 100 000 coins.  

My suggestion is never keep too much on exchanges. Alot of people had lost their BTCs that way before.
With DigiBytes, you have even better reason (compare to Bitcoin) to not keep many of your coins on exchanges. Because the transaction is so fast, you just send them there when you need them, and be able to trade within 5 mins.

I haven't used paperwallet before. So I don't have any comment on that matter.
USBs are so cheap to get.

I have 3 USB sticks which I have my wallets on. To access the USB you need to put in password, then different winrar passwords for each of the wallets.
Congrats on getting in Digibyte. It's one of two of my favourite coins

maybe start thinking of  paper wallet for third ofline wallet,
like http://cryptocards.co/

but i never used a paper wallet, maybe its better to buy more USB and create another wallet like that.

My rule of thumb is just keep the amount of coins you think you will use for the day or week on your phone.

thats a good idea , thx !
although i would like a third place to store my coins. a second ofline wallet with USB would be possible i think.
i'm gone keep some coins on my phone in the future, but not milions of coins cause it's always conected to the internet.
so thats not a long term  storage ..

You have my thumb of approval for this post. Also rename your wallet.dat files to something else for your backup. I go the extra mile and winrar with password protection.

Problem is that i only have 1 pc.
And i don't mine coins so i don't see the point of keeping a wallet on a pc thats conected to the internet.

Hey Verias, my approach is something like this:

Wallet A)
Most of your coins should be in a Cold Wallet Encrypted Backups (Three or more backups should be fine, for example 3 USBs, in worst case if your two copies are damaged you still have the third).
The password should be written down CLEARLY on a piece of paper and "hide" it. This wallet should NOT exist on the harddisk nor touch Internet, until you want to send coins from this wallet at any time in the future.
Amount ~70%


Wallet B)
Some of your coins are in a wallet on a computer B connected to Internet if you like to, encrypted. I do run DigiByte Core wallet always on for full node and Mining, always on.
Write down password on a piece of paper.
Amount ~10%


Wallet C) (if you have more than one computer)
Some of your coins are in a wallet on a computer C connected to Internet if you like to, encrypted. I do run full node, connecting to Network one or twice a week to update to the blockchain.
Write down password on a piece of paper.
Amount ~10%

Wallet D)
Some of the coins are in the Mobile Wallet on your phone. The amount should be that much you a comfortable with. At the end of the day the goal of DigiByte is that everyone can use a common device to handle daily business needs. So I think it's good practice for us to begin to do that with a small amount of coins. You can DigiByteTip, donations, etc. To spread usage of DigiByte I think we all need to get our phone to do the work.
Amount ~5%


Wallet E)
Amount ~5% on an exchange.


If you buy more, you can send from the exchange to the different wallets with similar percentage above.
This approach should work fine independently of coin-type, not only for DigiByte.

whats the safest way to store my DGB ?
i have 60% stored ofline on encrypted wallet with backup ( usb drive )
and 40% still on bittrex exchange.

but i plan to buy more in the next weeks.

maybe a third wallet somewhere?

would go crazy if i lose my DGB :p

Absolution for any digital crime can be purchased by sending half the proceeds here, where I will assure they are distributed amongst the needy!

Is team viewer the culprit here?  It doesn't look as if that is certain from these tweets.

Last week somebody lost 80BTC because of a security breach. The hacker could acces his computer using Teamviewer.
So be advised!

@teamviewer_agen Block him!

There is a page in every upcoming cryptocurrency book titled "About the Author".  I can easily place my signature on there below the text  

Would love a signed Digibyte book 

I have read up to the 10th of January 2015 (just over 15,000 messages).  It took two weeks. 

I will look into getting a few signed copies of my first book available. 

Thank you for answering me I think it is time that i reformat my hard drive found 11 Trojan horse from old wallets and miners
normally I only use windows defender but installed Malwarebyte I almost got panik, and eventually the transaction went through

It jumps about ACP, same for all the algos but as I write this it's sitting around 62TH/s. I've seen it up near 200TH/s. I'm going to post a link to the what to mine site, I personally don't use sites like this to decide what to mine as I find they can sometimes  be misleading but it is one way to look at instantaneous network speeds until someone comes  up with a better tool for this job!

edit: Don't forget to refresh the page when you want a value!

Need more details.

Where did the transaction come from (who or what sent you the DGB)?
Did it include a fee?
If it did include a fee what size is it?
Have you tried resetting the blockchain?
What is the supposed TXID?
