My netbook is worth more than my house.

Advice, if I may: Make more than 1 copy of that paper wallet.
Keep them in different buildings. A fire could give you a really bad day.

just an idea: perhaps a thin stainless steel sheet on which you could hand engrave (matbe even scratch with tungsten drill tip) or stamp the info might be in order. such sheet can be bought from hardware stores.

or if youre worried about metal detectors, maybe some clay tablet in a plastic drainpipe with endcaps that you bury somewhere.

perhaps in the far future some lucky people might find bitcoin stashes that used to belong to reclusive hermit miners that are worth the value of a nice small tropical island.

I guess you could use one of those dog-tag engravers at wal-mart. Might have to stretch the wallet over several of them though Smiley

Would people actually trust a service which engraved and mailed wallets? The trust would be about the same level as Casascius coins but the coins typically only hold 1BTC and are more curios than live wallets. It would be quite a risk. Maybe if there was a way to two-factor them (hmm, I think Casascius was talking about that for his coins so...)

To a paper wallet. It's insane that my cellphone is worth more than my car. Cheesy
+1

I keep only 0.5 BTC on my phone for kicks! hahahaha




I've enjoyed watching the "Currently valued at" go up but it would be somewhat painful to lose that much now.

I wish there was a more fireproof way. I have a couple of ideas but they would be too expensive for a one-off and it's not really something you could do as a service.

Try etching that on a ring, leave out several digits which you will only store in your brain.

Safe deposit boxes are usually around $30 a year, but you have no access to it when the bank is closed.

Not necessarily a problem as the bank vault copy is only a backup for house-burned-to-the-ground type situations.



Yea it's good for a backup but not wise to to put your only copy there.

What about a bank?

Whats the quote to have a personal bank safe?

I can't be the only one that finds the idea of storing your private keys in a bank hilarious?

No, it isn't hilarious at all. Especially when you come back home to see your house burnt down and the fire safe's contents burnt to a crisp.
