Topic: How do you store your private keys - page 7. (Read 1534 times)
Easy way does not install any malicious application and the rest install security applications such as antivirus and if you are a web wallet user do not use it again, but switch to using the application, for example, if using myetherwalletqx because it is very safe and the rest use the official application and that is enough to secure privatekey from the hacker / scammer
In my opinion, it doesn't save on devices that can be hacked by anyone through the internet or others. save it offline, offline even the device can be damaged, save the private key to your own memory with the key you only know, and have a backup key so that when you forget we still have a backup like save on removable storage
it seems like it's too complicated, and not many people do that. hacking is very possible, but I don't expect it. and the system of the wallet that we have is actually safe, but how do we make the potential for hacking reduce. like wallet use for some mining sites that are scam.
This is a good strategy and I think not only you is doing this. Even I, have tried this and it is kinda refreshing to know that someone is doing the same thing that I do.
But still I urge you to make other strategy on securing your account. Offline wallet is also a great idea because everything on the net can be access by hackers. Secure it on a safe place that no one will know aside from you.

I save privatekey and the password in flasdisk. and save it also on Google Drive to protect if there is damage to my disk. I also protect privatekey by using winrar + password to open it.
I don't have a lot of money on my wallet, so I keep my wallet key on a regular flash drive, I've got enough of that.
Personally I do prefer storing my keys offline to prevent third party Acess and also incase of computer hard disk breaking down.
One may ask, are paper wallets safe enough from relatives and friends?
My reply is that I have developed my own language whereby I represent the vowels in the alphabets in other to with some special characters which only myself, I mean no other person can interpret.
How do you save yours?

I store my private keys offline, and online double layer password encrypted archives or zip, I store them offline for more security and online for easier access in case I lose them in my offline back ups.
Especially important private key i recorded on paper, and changing some characters, but always need to check this simbol in memory, this is important.
Do not store it on devices that are connected to the internet, but also it is not the best to store it on paper. Paper may burn or get wet.
The best place where to store your private keys is a hardware wallet.

It is always preferred to safe your private key in hardware wallet but you can also store them in computer in encrypted form if you have less fund , generally people wallet get hacked from computer bcz of their own mistake only bcz they download software from torrent which may contain malware or spyware that steal your keys other than that if you use pc normally nothing will happen and do not use your private key in untrusted site , carefully look domain.
Saving it at email, phone storage and other thing that can be connected to the internet it is not save. You can't feel comfortable when you store it on these things. I just print out my private keys and save it in my room, since there only a few people who know cryptocurrencies so for now I'll comfortable to do it. They will not know about it although I put it on my computer desk, I was hacked a few times with the reason the hacker know my priket and at that time I only choose email or my computer to save my private key but after that I never save it again, just print out and so far my wallet is really safe.

Yes. Your way may be safer, especially if you use words that others cannot interpret. But it also has the possibility that we will forget what we wrote. I prefer to save on a computer, and be protected from virus attacks.
Besides that, I backup it on a flashdisk, if my computer has a problem, I still have a private key backup.
If the problem is lack of trust with people around us. That depends on with your are friends. so we have to worry about it.
Seems I am one of those doing something odd with the backing up of private keys, actually aside storing on pc and external notepad, I equally store in on Google drive though the Google account is not one I use on public places and known to anyone
in a long term investment, I prefer to keep it in a paper wallet and back up in an external hard disk. but for daily trading or short term investment, I prefer to keep it in a smartphone, which is only specifically used by me to store private keys, personal data, google authy and personal email (I don't use it for other activities).
I substitute the private keys i have i do store it in one device whit a sd card and i have another device that keeps tha keys to my private and personal keys, i do suvh us copying thos to store in another device because it is important and its to risky to keep jn only one device.
I keep my private keys on the computer (s ) and several backups on USB/Flash/external HDD. Paperwallet may be the safest from all but when you need to move coins every now and then you always have to import the paperwallet to a place where you can move the coin. Maybe Hardware wallet is also a good option, where supported.
i keep my private keys on the computer (i know it's risky) and another copy on a usb stick...
This is a very interesting way but too complicated. I think that just storing your passwords in paper form is pretty safe if you don’t do anything illegal.
I have used myetherwallet so far, where I use keystore to open my wallet, so I keep the keystore, and I save it on my PC, and I have back up on an external hard drive. and after opening, there the menu is complete, there is an address and also a private key. I deliberately did not write the private key to the word and then saved it because I was afraid to forget. then the safe way is to save the keystore.
Just write on my notepad and save it on my pc and backup on my phone. Also i printed my private key and barcode
i think thats enough to keep my wallet private key save, as long as i didn't put my private on any suspected site.
