Hi community, I follow the topic since december 2017 and I love all you've done until now.
I'm a miner and also I've bought some BtcZ 3 months ago but there are still on an exchange.
I would like to put them all on a paper wallet but I don't know if it is secure as explained.
Without thinking about burn it or similar, Is it the best way to keep safe the coin ?
What is the difference between T and Z address ? May I choose when I print paper wallet ?

Thank a lot for your answers

The way most wallets work is that a long set of seed words act as a strong and complex master password for that wallet. If someone has your seed words, they have access to your coins. Whether the wallet is digital or paper, this risk is the same. However, any form of wallet is less risky than storing coins on an exchange.

A paper wallet is very secure from a digital point of view, since it can't be compromised by malware or other means. In this sense, it is the same as a hardware wallet like the Ledger Nano. However, the real-world security of a paper wallet is obviously down to how well you secure it physically. If you print only one copy of the paper wallet and keep it in a fireproof safe, then I'd say that is pretty secure. If you print out 10 copies and keep them scattered around your desk, then this would not be very secure at all.

Personally, I use the Copay digital desktop wallet (linked from here: https://btcz.rocks/#wallets). The interface is really nice and it works perfectly. Note: if you download a digital wallet, check that the checksum matches and always make sure you only follow links from official websites, like the link I just gave you.

A T address is public, and a Z address is private.

Hope that helps.
