If I die, my family can use my death certificate to rescue all my money from bank and appropriate all my posses.
But not bitcoin, I was thinking about how to leave bitcoins as inheritence in a safe way, minimizing risks of be stolen by my own family (still if I trust my family, they can store improperly the keys and be stolen, or forced to deliver).
The perfect solution, in my opinion, is a mechanism whithout intervention that reveal my keys to my family, this could be done if I do not access some service for a month, or if I don't store some stuff in the blockchain for a month or ... I don't know a solution. And only my family could access my keys, possibly they have keys that allow then to access my keys.
An good solution could be some artifact, like a file, that I can send to my family, or left it stored online and thar artifact could reveal my keys only to my family.
My basic ideia is:
1 - Encript the keys with your password, but must be a very strong password, resilient to brute force atack.
2 - Print the encripted keys in paper or some more durable medium and store securely in your home.
3 - Reveal to your family a limited set of characters with wich they can sucefuly find the password using brute force, in a short time.
4 - If you die, your family must get into your home/safe box, get the encripted keys and use the characters to perform a brute force atack in order to get the keys.
Does anyone have think about leaving bitcoin as inheritance? Is there already some solution to this? Thoughts?
Remind, Covid-19 is over here.
It seems like you are already getting ready to have your last will and testament to be prepared once you die. Well, that was really a problem because your assets (money) stored in your bank as well as your properties are easy to be stated in the legal document because it has already a legal process since it is clearly stated as you owned. But when it comes to cryptocurrency like Bitcoin to be left as your last will seem to be hard because privacy is the main thing we are all protecting when it comes to our accounts. We cannot just entrust it into anyone having your private key or password because they can already have an easy access on it once known. But if you are really wondering how you will leave it as inheritance, then you may at least leave some clues to be able for your family to have an access on it. But I think since they will be your beneficiary once you die, I think it will be best to directly give them the access since they were the once who will be having it. But in any cases that you don't know and no one do really know when a person will die, maybe writing it on a piece of paper your private key or access to your account and include it into your last will for your family to have it directly.
