I want to retailer my bitcoin pockets offline and want a number of pointers. Since this will probably 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 need to retailer pockets.dat in many alternative locations to verify I by no means lose entry. Couldnt discover any detailed guides on this course of.
For instance is it adequate to easily encrypt pockets.dat file? I would wish to keep away from utilizing third social gathering software program as a lot as potential (like truecrypt) as a result of in 10-20 years the undertaking might be deserted and it is exhausting to get the intial trusted software program bundle, and so on)
Additionally what’s the greatest media for long-term storage? CDs, usb stick, microSD? will any of them get bit rot? Bear in mind I want this accessible many many years sooner or later. I plan to burn the pockets.dat file on a CD considering this sort of media has little interplay with my PC, versus usb stick which could 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 previous and would not appear threat averse sufficient vs the worth of bitcoin nowadays.
Any assist appreciated thanks.
