Paper wallets, but really just the private keys.  That look something like this:

But can be made to look like this:

5Kb8kL
f9zgWQno
gidDA7
6MzPL6T
sZZY36hWX
MssSzNyd
YXYB9KF

And practice restoring them, to make sure you know what you are doing.


So, you're suggesting what? Generate a priv key, and write it down rather than printing it on paper?

I always wondered about those split paper wallets you can create too, but never understood exactly how they worked.


No.  I export the private key, change the formatting slightly, label it something else like "urine test results from lab", and print it.  Then put it in a binder with medical documents.
