How does the paper wallet work? You send all your bitcoins to the address on the paper, and they're locked on it, unless you have the paper you cant get them?

Exactly.

If you have lots of coin, spread them across multiple paper wallets. Then you don't have to load your whole purse online to spend some.

Sorry about your loss.

I recommend paper wallets like what you can print at http://bitaddress.org. I have never heard of a single BTC being stolen from paper wallets.

continue to post your advice on how people can keep money safe!

One of the ways to prevent similar scenarios from happening in the future is to study what went wrong in the past. Could you share any of the details and any information that would describe the manner in which the coins might have been stolen?

If you need to store some bitcoins on an exchange (e.g, while performing trading or plans to do so soon), then two-factor authentication is a must!

For most people, keeping a computer secure enough to store several thousands of dollars worth of bitcoins is beyond their technical capabilities. As a result, cold storage likely is a more secure method to consider:

Heyy everyone!

I thought that using a captcha like password would be the safest bet, but all of my bitcoins (491 BTC) were stolen from my account yesterday. I would ask if people could please, continue to post your advice on how people can keep money safe! I had a very horrible day yesterday as I lost a ton of money Sad

I know the hacker can not be caught due to the anonymity of the system, and i do not expect to get any of the money back. Make sure to read the how to on how to's on this site to keep your bitcoin safe! I did not know about the bitcoin forums until quite recently

Thank you very much for your surpport!
Anthea <3
