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.

oh and just btw the us military uses computers from the 70's including floppy disks. oh and is not just some unimportant department dealing with miner stuff. they are in charge to coordinate the functionally of atomic bombs. and you worry about some wallet.

The floppy disk which us military uses is some other quality disk which are dat drives if i am not wrong, but what OP is telling is the local floppy disk and it is a failure method of storing in them as they can get damage even if they get fungus or dust on the disk.
