I do not have much knowledge on pen drive storage. For long term storage we must need SSD. May be cost of buying is high but for a secured next generation saving we must go for SSD (Solid State Disk).

This is completely wrong and i will not suggest anyone to hide your paper wallet in a SSD.
For long term this is not recommended because if SSD has no electricity for a long time, the data inside can be erased.
Try to hide your paper wallet somewhere where you think that nobody will touch, or will have no idea about that place.

you can run your ssd on a different network, or even without any connection, just so it remain active with electricity and all

it would still be a cold storage, last time i've checked could storage mean only off line, not switched off completely

For this case HDD are better rather than SSD,
Because they can stay longer if you don't touch them.
I would suggest the OP to hide the paperwallet inside computer loudspeakers Smiley

Problem with that and many of the other conceal ideas is if there is a fire/act of god.  If you only work on concealment your paper wallet is subject to many things out of your control.

If using one really renting a safty deposit box at a bank is worth it depending on your holdings.  Much more secure and a great place to keep a backup.

Mostly the clocks that i saw aren't like this.
But they have only to put the batteries.
If you leave there for a long time i think you will forget about it and maybe through in trash one day Sad

Classic ways to hide things: behind a painting, under doormat (get some glue to attach it lol), how about in your underpants (seriously), you need to make your hiding place as natural as much and as normal as possible. Making someone to build you custom case for your phone which have some kind of secret pocket for you to put it Grin

Dog shelter or fish tank is the best place to hide your paper wallets.

I heard something like cold wallet. A cold wallet must be a offline wallet which is more secure from any hacking.

The clock is quite dated but there are other option in clock if you want that route.  This is more for a mantle but could go on table. - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0045Z4MDC?keywords=concellment%20clock&qid=1445573664&ref_=sr_1_sc_1&sr=8-1-spell


It looks a lot more modern and would not look out of place on a mantle.   I would go more for this on a clock if picking.

My great grandmother had a big clock in the old family house from the 1800's, I could hide it there, it would be a great place to hide, because nobody would look there.

Shit, now they would because I just told my good hiding place on an internet forum.


Guys, c`mon this thread is a tutorial for burglars, don't be morons, don't tell about good hiding places on the internet!

You do make a good point.  I use no concealment device I post.   Or is that misdirection... no it's the truth.  There are a ton of great concealment ideas. 

If you look at gun one's they tend to be decent as they are normally not cheap.  So that is where I found that clock vs standard concealment.  And I have a few in my head I really would like to share.... but I am keeping them in my head as I have not seen them talked about.

It's also a good place for us to look and see if others had same idea as us.  The best ones are one specific to you, and no one else would share.

I`ve never seen a clock like that, but its possible.

However if the burglar comes equipped with metal detector, he can detect any precious stuff in there.

Actually, beside old schools, no one use those, its way too obvious and the metal detector wont detect a stack of bills, and it would already react to the clock itself somewhat. Either way, its not a very good idea. But the sliding floor though, thats not bad at all.

I suggest adding an encryption will make it alot safer and useless if someone acquires it.

Adding an encryption to a paper wallet? absolutely news to me.
Hiding a paper wallet is equivalent to hiding currency notes from robbers as well as protection against decay. Multiple copy with water proof in safe locker or in your home hidden locker would do your wish.
It is not new and is in fact in use widely for a long time. BIP38 encryption is easy to implement on paper wallets and it is quite bruteforce resistent as long as you use a long password. Paper wallet isn't exactly safe if the host computer has vulnerabilities.

Is it possible. I wonder. If some one explains with URLs it would be more useful for me to make my paper wallets more secure. So far I thought only encryption are possible with electronic media alone. It may be more useful if we can do with a paper information also.

You should hide you wallet where you best think that no one will find it.

It's not quite this simple. You need it to be protected from possible damage.  This could be from elements such as water, or fire, etc. 

If you have the safest place in your house does not matter if not protected.  And you really do need fire and water.   If house catches fire..... firemen use water to stop it.  So in "bad situations" if its not protected from both could be bad.
