Topic: Where do you store your bitcoins ? - page 13. (Read 13074 times)
I keep a wallet.dat file on DVDrom and have a newly password protected wallet because of my mining plans since I left the faucets for greener pastures. I have it newly protected so I can't get them stolen. Used to have a couple dollars at most in the wallet, so that didn't truly count if it was hacked, but now I give a damn, a BIG damn.
Majority of coins I store on a paper wallet and the rest is stored in a Electrum wallet. I do not use third party services to store my coins.
If you have under 5 coins, just store them on blockchain. If you have other that, look into cold storage and other secure safes.
Diversify your coins. I never hold all my coins at the same spot. I use Bitcoin Core for the big stash, 3-4 backup wallets in different places, local exchanges for trading. Some in Btc-e and some in Multibit. Some others in my laptop.
Electrum, breadwallet, and paper wallet.

The most important lesson is to never store all or a high % of your coins in one method or one place, that way if something goes wrong you don't lose everything.
Personally I have most of my coins in cold storage, split between various paper wallets of which I obviously have more than one copy of each. I have coins stored on a Trezor, I have some coins on Core & a small amount for every say spending in a hot wallet.

in the blockchain. I store my private key on my... nvm. why should I tell you?

50% of my coins are in my mobile wallet so that I can use them whenever I need. About 30% in coinbase and 20% in cold wallet- I am using paper wallets and store them in fire proof safety box.
I don't understand people that are using mobile wallets, we see that how easily is vulnerable android OS.
It can be easily infected by any virus. Only if you left an smartphone offline for the whole time and just to store the bitcoins.
Hmmm... As I don't have much, I am not too worry. By the way I am using CoinPocket in Apple IOS and everything is working well for nearly 2 years with 24/7 internet connection. The private key is in BIP38 and back up is easy.
Currently i don't own any iOS device, i would like you buy one with my bitcoins if any is selling lol, but as far as i know there are less viruses and malware in iOS market (Appstore,itunes).
The target of the hackers is always first in Android devices as they are easy to manipulate and can be easily be listed in Google Play Store. About the backups that's the only and the best idea until you dont backup a corrupted one. I don't use any only-mobile wallet but just the coinbase client for android and it is good enough at least for me.
What a stupid question. On the blockchain. That's the only place bitcoin can be stored.

i think the best strategy is to split your bitcoins in several storage. I have my bitcoins in hardware wallet, cold storage, cloud storage etc
About 99% is stored in a cold wallet. The remaining 1% are stored at an major exchange for day 2 day use.
After Mt gox I wouldn't recommend storing any major amount at an exchange.

I put some in blockchain.info for daily spending and use bitcoin core as well with passphrase !
I currently have mine in cold storage using a paper wallet and with another smaller portion on an old laptop which is not connected to the internet. The beauty of bitcoin is that you can find creative ways to hide away the private keys so long as nobody gets to see it. Some innovative ways like having these stamped onto a metal plate or even use some clever secret code encryption that you develop your own. The options are limitless.
I store my bitcoins into a cold storage bitcoin address as explained in bitcoin.it wikipedia. I believe in the developers of bitcoin so I follow their steps to secure my bitcoin.
I just using blockchain.info and xapo
USB drive --> Papillon
I personally use a mixture of Greenaddress and Coldstorage.
I was considering creating my own Multisig address to store however.
