Title: How to securely store your BitShares (Paper wallet)
Post by: mea123 on December 10, 2017, 04:52:38 pm

@xeroc  still possible?

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)

I thnk you can still do that ... it's called "LOCAL WALLET" now. The cloud wallet derives the key from the password which is more convenient for most people.
