True, they wouldnt know you had coins
necessarily but they might... didnt you
say you threw bitcoin parties?  Now
people know you have coins.
that's still absurd. when was the last time you heard that a multi-millionare got robbed?

If someone is threatening you physical harm it is almost always advisable to do as they say (at least when it appears plausible that they could actually inflict such harm)

Tell the gunman that some of your addresses are booby trapped. If they are moved, then a bounty is setup to trace the spender and kill that person. Then tell him to have a nice night.

The whole gunman breaking into your house thing is absurd. How does gunman know which house to break in?

This scenario sounds like fear-mongering pro-gun fiction. If you have any real wealth stored in a paper wallet it belongs in a safety deposit box anyway, not in your home. They are very affordable.

True, they wouldnt know you had coins
necessarily but they might... didnt you
say you threw bitcoin parties?  Now
people know you have coins.

What if your coins are in a brain wallet?
Aren't yours?

after you've been whipped 100 times by
a rubber hose, the security of that wallet
is in serious jeopardy.



wow your definetly on the cranberry juice tonight arnt you.

heres some actual advice. in reality, if you hide your wallet or move it, do you think the rubber whip idiot will just walk away with a merry song between his lips and a graceful skip in his step. nope, e will know that you would not send them to a stranger, he will know that the new location is also controlled by you.. so expect more pain..

have a nice night

mmmm cranberry juice....

I don't think you got my vision...
they wouldn't know you sent the
coins to anyone else... all they
would see is a DIFFERENT account
with a small amount of coins.

Never mind... if you don't understand
or dont get it i dont have time to explain
it to you, sorry Smiley

Just remember, when people start
talking about people getting tortured
for their private keys, you can say
good ol Jonald Fyookball had a solution.

So, you've got all your precious Bitcoins locked up
in cold storage... you've take all technical procautions...

but then a gunman breaks into your house and says
he's gonna shoot you in the face unless you turn
over your private keys.

You could try to thwart this by preparing a decoy wallet
or two, but do you trust yourself not to buckle under
the pressure?

My solution:

You have a transaction already loaded which sends most
of your cold storage funds off to another secret wallet
which you have the keys to in a safe deposit box.

When the gunman breaks in, you hit a button, and
boom, the transaction is broadcast, you no longer
have your coins there.

Or, if you are caught off guard, you say, sure you
can have my coins, let me login... you "login"
or access a secret URL, and it whisks away
your coins to saftey while giving a decoy address...
If under pressure later, you can reveal the other
address, but now its too late, the coins are gone.
