- atm3ga 1y agoI split my crypto assets between Coinbase and what is now a corrupted hard-drive I've yet to recover.
- hcknwscommenter 1y agoThe funniest hacker news comment I've read all year. Funny because I'm essentially in the same situation. I'd bet we are legion.
- madaxe_again 1y agoI keep mine on a broken raid 5 array (seagate flood drives - two failed within hours of each other) in a shoe box. It’s super secure.
- beeflet 1y agoRAID is cool but It's not much of a backup then if it's always plugged into a running computer. Half of risk comes from some process "intentionally" the erasing the data. I use the super-sophisticated method of manually copying everything important to an external storage another every 5 weeks or so. That has never failed me.
- _-_-__-_-_- 1y agoI do the same, but then you should have two copies, encrypted-at-rest and one offsite.
- otterley 1y agoI recommend not investing in crypto at all because it’s an attractive nuisance and has no useful purpose other than speculation and money laundering.
