>store private key in old defunct gmail google drive linked to main gmail.so what could go wrong with this? With 2FA set up and all the google security procedures. This shit safer than ledger or whatever the fuck.I trust google not getting hacked more than ledger or nano or whatever scam hardware wallet desu.
who cares. nothing is trustless>Ha, i'll do it myself>(has trust in himself)
the piece of metal in safe will never get hacked
>>59670581nah that's a solid plan, I hear that's how coinbase and blackrock keep all their keys too
>>59670741That piece of metal will buy you half a pop tart and a knife to the gut when shit hits the fan. Gold and silver will not buy you potatoes
>not my keys>not my problem
>>59670798thats what im saying. Ive had my main gmail since 2008 and ive never gotten hacked since i set up 2FA super early. Not even an email of an attempt of hijacking.
>>59670581how do you create a private key without using a software wallet to begin with? isn't it a security risk that the software could secretly send it to the devs and they store it waiting to exit scam
>>59671199you can use a dice literally. but the best way is to get an old laptop, wipe it completely. install linux. put wallet software on usb. create wallet on sealed laptop not on internet. use the software to sign transactions and put them on usb. execute transactions on main rig
>>59671199Plenty of ways to create a new key locally
>>59671199there are many open source wallets. build them yourself if you don't trust them
>>59671212Just use a multisig with a hw wallet, there’s no point overcomplicating things
can hardware wallets get hacked? i thought the point was they're completely offline?
>>59671631they are and OP is an absolute retard. his private key probably got stolen already, not from google but from some keylogger he installed years ago. next transaction he makes will be front-run and his wallet is empty.
