I want to retailer my bitcoin pockets offline and want a number of pointers. Since this will likely be my long-term financial savings storage (respectable quantity, not often accessed), I’ll use one PC (on-line) with solely ubuntu and bitcoin core put in to make the PSBTs and one other offline solely devoted PC with wifi/bluetooth/networking eliminated with solely ubuntu and bitcoin core to create pockets.dat and signal PSBTs if wanted. Now I wish to retailer pockets.dat in many alternative locations to ensure I by no means lose entry. Couldnt discover any detailed guides on this course of.
For instance is it enough to easily encrypt pockets.dat file? I might prefer to keep away from utilizing third get together software program as a lot as attainable (like truecrypt) as a result of in 10-20 years the mission may very well be deserted and it is exhausting to get the intial trusted software program package deal, and so forth)
Additionally what’s the finest media for long-term storage? CDs, usb stick, microSD? will any of them get bit rot? Bear in mind I would like this accessible many many years sooner or later. I plan to burn the pockets.dat file on a CD considering this type of media has little interplay with my PC, versus usb stick which may be backdoored? Any objection to importing this on the cloud as effectively (if encrypted that’s).
Sorry if this has been answered however all I discover is considerably outdated and does not appear threat averse sufficient vs the worth of bitcoin lately.
Any assist appreciated thanks.
