So I apologize if this has been covered but could someone let me know if the cold storage options have been updated / completed?  I am officially a Dad now and want to throw some DGB into cold storage for my son that was just born. 

Thanks!

Congratulations on the newborn son!

Are you looking for a paper wallet? Or more of a USB solution?

As of right now you can encrypt a USB device with a password and back your wallet.dat file up to it.


I suspect he is talking about a paper wallet. I've been after this for a long time too...  the whole point is to take it off the grid to avoid tech failure of some sort. I currently have my encrypted wallet backed up in multiple places, and do it regularly whenever my balance changes significantly, so really I'm confident I'm covered. But there is something about plain old paper sitting in a safe deposit box or safe that just feels "good". Kind of the difference between having a bank account full of money that you can see only as a number on the screen vs. having a pile of cash  in front of you. Not exactly the best analogy but it works for me.
