Topic: Storing Bitcoin private keys using dental implants? - page 2. (Read 238 times)

Quite an unusual way to store private keys and also not practical unless you are a dentist yourself. Otherwise, you are at risk of compromising your keys at the time of implant placement, as this will be done by specialists. Also, if bitcoin private keys is suddenly needed, then what to do in this case? Going to dentists again and creating another risk of compromise? It seems to me that this method of storing keys is very uncomfortable, in view of the fact that you can't put/extract key's info yourself without the extra help of specialized specialists. This is the biggest drawback.

I must be sincere with you, this is the most ridiculous thing, or should I call it idea, I've heard on the discussion of how to safely store our private keys/seed phrases.

I personally would never try this even if it becomes one of the means through which private keys/seed phrases can be stored , and I do not encourage any one to.

Like Upgrade00 said, I also see no pros here, all I see is cons, and I will mention just three.

1. (inline with what Upgrade00 said) Your private keys/seed phrase is no longer private since you will have no choice but to expose it to a second party who will do the engraving, and possibly to a third party too, who will do the implant ~ and remember the saying that... A secret known by two or three persons is no longer a secret.

2. It puts your life in danger - those who know you have such a thing planted in you can plot against you, they can have you drugged or even killed, just to steal your gold teeth.

3. It will lead you into being restless and always anxious - imagine you are asleep, and someone, touches your cheek (it can be your wife, daughter or son patting your cheek) and you quickly jump up from your sleep thinking someone wants to remove/steal your gold teeth - yeah, it is absolutely possible.

There are several other disadvantages of doing this, I just mentioned 3, I leave the rest for other users to dig out.

Not sure what would be the pros for this, but surely the cons would be the usual known $5 Wrench Attack.

Upgrade00 also has a great point that because it cannot be done alone, you're surely risking not just yourself but also your private keys to someone else since they are gonna be the one to do the work. Even if I have a trusted relative that can do the engraving, I would not even budge it.

Don't try to fix something, if it's not broken. Paper and ink have proven to be effective means of backing up private keys (seed phrase). Having multiple backups helps to act as a fail safe and should be encouraged too, but I can't see a single need to want to carry my seed phrase around in my tooth implants.

The biggest con is that a regular guy cannot do this by themselves and would need the help of a professional. Any aspect of safeguarding my seed phrase that would mean exposing it to someone else (who in this case would handle the engraving) is a big risk and one I would not be willing to take.

I personally cannot see any pros to this.

Okay so as what the Twitter post says here, if we can store our value in gold teeth, how much more if it's related to Bitcoin? I don't know about you guys though, but is this really going to be possible in making our private keys safe when storing it on dental implants?

What would be the pros and cons of this one? Would love to hear your reactions, feedback or opinion about this one guys. Thanks!
