Topic: How to Keep my Dogecoins Safe Till 2016/18 or even 2020 - page 2. (Read 2406 times)
The best way to keep your coins safe is not to trust anyone with them (e.g. web wallets). Web wallets are a big red target for hackers, and sometimes they're just scams. Paper wallet, sure, it'll be there unless you lose it. Send your coins to the address on a paper wallet that you have the private key to, and they'll stay there long after 2020 unless someone uses that private key to spend them.
Don't trust sites to hold your coins , as others suggested better to keep them on an offline wallet.
How trustworthy is that site? I'd take all your coins off there and send them to a desktop wallet. Then back that wallet up several times and keep them on usbs and cdrs etc. There, that's as safe as you'll get them and you don't have to worry about anything happening to that site.
Creating a paper wallet or an offline wallet is a good idea.

It's easy man. DOwnload the official wallet, store all of your doge there, save the wallet.dat file inside a USB that ALWAYS stays at home, buy an external HD that NEVER gets connected to an online computer. Put these in your closet and don't use them again. I would tell you to encrypt the wallet files but if you don't move the wallet.dat files from your closet, i don't see how it's needed and you could forget the password. I have learned my password like my name so it's up to you.
Hi,
I have wallet at "dogechain.info". I have invested some bucks in Dogecoins and I want to hold that until 2016/18 or even 2020.
How can I keep those coin safe, I have downloaded
Paper Wallet + Encrypted Backup (Exported) + Un-Encrypted Backup (Exported)
So if I want to access my wallet in 2016 or 2020 and if "dogechain.info" site will not be there, then will I lose my all doges? or can I recover those using above downloaded data?
Thanks
