How to securely store your BitShares (Paper wallet)

[mike623317]

Hi,

Is there an established, working and well documented way of creating a paper wallet for Bitshares? The only thing I can find is this thread.

Are any of these paperallet github downloads for Mac users?

Thanks

is this the working solution for cold storage? wich one shoul I choose if using ubuntu?



another question, never used bitshares client for linux, but can I make a cold storage from it using brainkey or other tool without ever going online?


thanks!

I do not like this video. Is is completely out of topic (nasty  lyrics) and  nothing more.

lulz

I will refrain from making jokes in your very serious discussion.

What's that video about?

"Trust Issues" ;)

2) Make a brainkey backup

I'm using linux light client v2.0.151103 and have been unable to get the brainkey to verify.

It keeps on telling me "Brainkey does not match, keep going...".
There are no extra spaces, all lowercase too. I even tried typing it in manually, and pasting the brainkey into the field directly.

I still get the error quoted above..
Any idea why it won't verify the brainkey?
Thanx in advance,

I am seeking a way for storing BTS for a longer time.

What would you suggest?

The best way would be to print private keys on paper, but as I understand it is problematic with BTS 2.0 or gives me a recent link how to do that.

I am holding my Bitshares on polonex exchange and Bitshares 2.0 (light client) but do not feel comfortable to put more there because exchange could go down and my everyday computer could get compromised (I can loose passwords) quite easily by spyware or hackers. I am wondering how people with really large sums of BTS are holding them securely. Thank you.

1) Create an account using open ledger
2) Make a brainkey backup
3) store the brain key somewhere VERY SAFE
4) send your funds to that account

optional but HIGHLY RECOMMENDED::
4.1) create a new wallet (call it something different from "default") using your brain key!!
4.2) verify that your account can be recover using the brain key and the funds are there aswell

5) delete your wallet (only if you have at least one backup!!)

Cheers

unless you imported some private keys manually (which you shouldn't) .. then the brain key is all you need to recover access to your funds and accounts (verify by creating a new wallet with your brain key FIRST)

What's that video about? All I get once again is youtube's message: "Unfortunately, this video is not available in your country because it could contain music from UMG, for which we could not agree on conditions of use with GEMA."

you have to use a vpn to be able to view these kinda vids...

Agreed. Paper wallets and cold storage are sorely needed now.

Send all funds to tuckfheman and then let us know when you want them back.  ;)

Hello.  I want to create my fist (test) paper wallet and to import these funs back to BitShares 2.0 (light client).  How can I do that?  I have found paper wallet generator here:

https://github.com/xeroc/jshares

...but these files was published for  0.9 Bitshares version and I am not sure dose it still works for 2.0.


Question No. 2 – How can I send my funs to "BTS3gHRTaJdbYx9UmeJZMHVtwxCmotukFN8N"   BitShares Address format, while my BitShares 2.0  light client in Transfer section says that this is  "Invalid account name".

Thank you for advice!
