Hello guys!

I wanna hear your opinions about that.
Where do you keep your private keys? In a safe? In your pocket? In your mind??

My private keys are just in the drawer as if they were worth nothing lol

I was thinking about buying a safe, but I think that big, so hard to hide, and just to store one piece of paper?

Give me ideas please =D

Notepad! 3 copies that located on a folder which anyone will have a hard time to locate the files and named with a unique one (not related to crypto)
i do have a hard copy of every wallet password and private keys, in a notebook which no one will think it is a very valuable thing, though my wife knows where to find it and what it is for. SD card that contains many files but only those private keys are important (we just need to put some junks there)

I write down my private keys and kept in my ordinary drawer. But I didn’t keep all my BTC in paper wallets. I kept most of my BTC in my hardware wallets.

Wow I guess most of us can’t be remembering the private keys in our mind. Grin

Why should you create problems yourself, you just need to pay something about $ 100 and buy yourself a hardware wallet. Private keys will be safe. That's all you need to do.

I keep mine on a flash drive, actually 5 flash drives for backups which are placed in a different area then also on my external drives. Two flash drives is with my wife so that in case anything happened to me, my wife knows it.

I don't think there is any such need like what you are saying. I mean If have a few funds in all my wallets but they are stored pretty safely in my cupboard and I think they are quite safe there. You won't really expect a thief in your house who will search for your private keys to get into your wallet. At least as of now there are no such thief who try and steal private keys from your house Tongue

I think it is best to print or write your private keys in a piece of paper so that if your private keys saved in the phone or any software are deleted, you can still access your account but make sure it is place in a very safe place.

I don't keep my private key on my computer. I think it's dangerous. There are so many hackers now. I'm afraid my computer will be hacked. I now record my private key in my book, which I think is safe.

I keep in my mind and in my spouse's mind.We both know the private keys. I trust my husband and even my husband knows the bitcoin so I trust him to let he know my security code for once that I forget he is the first one to ask. I'm not keep on the phone because there is a possibility that other people can know and even in the drawer I do not even hide because it may be missing out and get of other people.

Saving private key is very important in best place where nobody can track it.
To save the key I prefer to store it in a computer program or store it on my mobile phone, and to keep my storage device lost, I also keep it on paper to keep the bad things going on in storage or when we forget our keys.

I just write in a piece of paper and put in my wallet ,together my identification Cards, for me to easily find it in case I needed it badly. I recopied also and save it in my ipad, so that I can always find it easily. It is not that it is hardly to hide or store it, it just matter if confidence and How you remember where you haD kept it. Even you put it a Box or something that is precious one if you forget where it is, then it will be completely lost.

I keep them in my computer, but on different names than "private keys", in aim that if my computer get hacked, they won't be able to find it. And I also have a copy on a hard drive, in case of my computer has any problem.

I store the private keys in my folder with the documents and made a backup copy and save it on the flash drive for complete security.

I have one personal e-mail add were I kept all important files and links, this e-mail are kept privately and I did not use it for work or other unimportant matters.
I actually planned to buy a safe but I don't think it's idealistic since cryptos do not have physical appearance unless I have hard wallets to store my coins.

I have so some copies left but they are all secured and in just one place.

you can use encrypted thumb drives or SD cards, also you can print them and keep in a bank locker.

There are plenty of methods to store your private key. It will be quite difficult to remember it unless you start using seed instead of key. Words are easier to remember but you will lose all your money even if you forget one of them or mess up the order. I would go for encrypting a file with your seed or private key and then storing it somewhere safe. Hardware wallets do this thing for you but you would still have to take care of your seed. As I said earlier it will be definitely easier to remember. You can also use a passphrase which works as an extra word which could be only in your head.

Got hacked a couple months back and since then already save my private key in multiple offline USB which i've never open again since the creation of the wallet, i also think of writing it down in a piece of paper but since i dont think its necessary and i do think its more difficult to take care of then an USB so i dont wrote it. I think cellphone can be hacked too because i did heard about something called RAT like trojan for remote desktop and i won't be suprised if notes in cellphone got hacked but CMIIW Grin

I save it in various places, like, print it on paper, flashdisk, hp memory, and I keep it in place, which only me who knows its place. so if one of the missing ones still exists in another app, I think, it will make my private key more secure.

I kept my private in my alternate email in my gmail account and save it in the draft box. That email account that I'm not using to register in any website. Even if it's not safe to keep it on your laptop or smartphone. But if you do this, you should be careful in visiting every website or emails so that your account will not be hacked or phish easily, like I do.
