I was doing some cleaning on my room and I found some floppy disks,
Don't go this way, throw it away to trash can. Anybody that used it once know they could fail you in any moment in any day.
You would lost wallet then forever.



I finally decided to put some wallet copies on some of the floppy disks that were in the best condition possible, just for an experiment, let's see how much they last. I put them back into my box and we will see for how long it lasts and I hope the wallet files dont get corrupted. Obviously I have copies in better mediums of storage too so its not like im storing it all in the same place.
Really?
I also have some floppy disks in my room but i don't think that i would storing bitcoin on it, firstly my computer doesn't support it and i think it's too risky i would choose hardware wallet for storing my bitcoin, however it's ok if used your floppy disks just for an experiment, good to see you have some copies. Let's see what will happen in the future.
