It is completely unprotected on its own. You would create a new wallet with a new passphrase and import the private key. The private key itself does not have a passphrase.so i understand the use of each of those fields correctly?

There are ways to make it much harder. Like have in your seed your first and last name. Then the attack would have to come after you specifically rather than a sequential brute force scan.

Looks like you guys are figuring it out. The primary idea that needs to sink in is that an AccountKey is different than a key in the account.
Great thread. Now I can create riverhead-coldstorage for reals .
Quote from: xeroc on August 25, 2014, 10:51:16 amIt doesnt really matter if you register it or have it as a local contact as long as you can ensure that you name does not get registered by s.o. else in the meantime .. registering an account prevents the hurdles you described.If the public key is in your local contacts could you import its private key with wallet_import_private_key <wif_key> without the [account_name] [create_new_account] [rescan] portion just like it was registered on the blockchain? I just created a local contact account named local-coldstorage, sent funds to it. and then entered Code: [Select]wallet_import_private_key <wif_key> completelydifferent true false it pulled in the name local-coldstorage instead of completelydifferent.Am I understanding you. In order to successfully import I need to have the public key either in my local contacts or registered on the blockchain?

I'm going off the assumption cold storage and paper wallet are different terms for the same thing?That statement is wrong .. as you can pay for the registration using a different account ..account A tells (and pays) the blockchain that account "B" corresponds tthe public key BSX.....

Quote from: Riverhead on August 25, 2014, 10:46:55 amYou can also create an account as a parameter of wallet_import_private_key. This may get around the registration issue.That should work too, and would be way less of a pain. Shouldn't even require being registered on the blockchain, right?

Quote from: puppies on August 25, 2014, 10:14:11 amI was just able to retrieve from cold storage. One thing I would recommend to speed things up as you are trouble shooting is just scanning the transactions that the transfers are in rather than the entire chain. My transaction was in block 311671 so I did a wallet_rescan_blockchain 311670 2 (since I'm not sure if it scans the block of or the next in line. That would be useful information if anyone in the know can provide it.) Other than that I'm pretty sure its just a matter of the public key being registered on the blockchain as a contact account before you import the private key. You could a) create local contact account. >> transfer to it. >> register it >> import private key >> rescan transaction blocks >> profitor b) create local contact account >> register it >> transfer to it >> Import private key >> rescan transaction blocks >> profitP.S. I am really really tired right now. If I am wrong or am just being stupid please let me know.So what you are saying is the reason it didn't work for me was because I haven't registered the local account.Is there a reason for that restriction, if that is the case?

AFAIK - if you don't register your account, you have to note/write down your public keys for every unregistered acct. for later restore purposes ... (pls correct if i'm wrong)
Well after rescan, the balance from the cold storage is still not available. Does the account need to be registered before it can import a private key or something?
I'll wait to make sure it's finished, and will report back here. May be even update the Wiki. (Not sure if I need to be an editor or what there)

We will be producing a cold storage guide this week.
Maybe I find the time to quickly write down how I made my coldstorage this evening
