RE: Let's Talk—Have You Planned For Your Cryptocurrency Legal Heir?
That is a really interesting point I had never conidered. Luckily, my brother is quite a tecky, so I could let him know how to access my various accounts, and he could do the same with me.
Thank you for this... I might not have thought about that until it is too late ;-)
Yeah it is an eye opener for sure not only for the aged steemians but also to the young ones because life is not predictable and it is not promised to anyone. We all need to leave our wealth in safe hands...and the right hands at that.
Yes you are right I agree with you and I start follow you to get more useful informations from you 😃😃
I suppose keeping both paper and digital copies of your keys would provide the most security, but, it is a valid point that the more places you have your passwords, the higher the odds are that you could have them stolen.
I think caution and being conscience of your actions is the best guard against scammers and thieves.
If a business did pop up that specialized in keeping of personal keys and passwords, I would not envy them. They would immediately have a target on their back.
You could print them and store them in a sealed envelope. What I have done is to encrypt the keys before printing it, but giving my inheritors the instructions on how to decrypt it. A person with some encryption skills would probably be able to crack it, but of course there will be no way to know that these are actually passwords/keys and not just some random stuff. It's note like I have written "STEEMIT PASSWORD" on the envelope :P
