{quote} I have most of my crypto in cold storage. I have not seen billions but I love Mr. Robot, need to catch up on a few episodes though.
Tnx, would just like to explain again/further that I find similarities in a way that both series, at least to me.. are REALITY proven... Mr.Robots have a very realistically setup.. Every code works, every technical thing is true/possible.. I really love this and I think this is one of the (bigger) reason for its popularity... Unlike more general movies where they insult viewers with some bullshit and massive plot hols...

In a sam way I find Billions so refreshing... I mean I have been studying the fin industry for a long time, from different areas... and I can say that they got it right
They, as Mr.Robot series, have REAL advisers, that tell them how it is, as is... Yeah they added too much social drama to it.. character plays... too much for my taste..
But they still get it right.. I haven't found plot holes as of yet.. Unlike movie Limitless (2011) for example... when the quy is supposedly 4digit IQ making enormous amounts of returns... and than he needs the "capital" (collateral is life) from one of the must dangerous character... They just did this to spice the story.. but they really insulted the viewers... Even somewhat "official" goofs.. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1219289/goofs Yeah I know many movies/series... are trying to attract as much people as possible but in today's day and age... why insult people with pure bullshit...

I really enjoy Mr.Robot AND Billions... because I love BOTH worlds.. IT and FIN... specially combined

As I said before, this blockchain voting was a big things in the last episodes, in fact the biggest... One of the main characters even chosen the issure over the marriage! And he loved the wife deeply.. He said... "some things are just more important than marriage"... Also this blockchain voting was also the main issue between 2 big rivals... They made it as one of the most important (political) thing... (of/for the future)... They try to be (one of the?) pioneer series for this...
"Blockchain Technology Being Used for Mobile Voting" Also they are using crypto more and more... as a "wealth storage" or "anonymity" Really good show tbh... just too much recent social drama, but the tech/it/fin thing is TOP NOTCH, at least to me.. And very realistic, which is very important to me. They tell it as it is... Many people do not like it because of it, because they want it to be more like fairytale... but it is much closer to reality, I believe

{quote} Yeah, thats what I was talking/asking about I just want to see the whole picture, with all the parameters... details... as possible.. Because one thing has to be tested completely... as is... because sometimes you change just something "little".. and the whole (pictures) collapses... Will sure post about my findings, would just like to say that as of now, I know that much not to post it too soon Will test it completely... with many stress-tests... and recoveries.. and will provide full details, even full hardware and software...
I'm happy you're taking the time to fully research and test all available solutions. Some folks just run in without thinking then cry after losing monies!

Yeah, tnx... I think this method might be very good, although time-consuming... Specially if many transactions... But I would not bother for EVERY BTC.. just the ones for COLD STORAGE ("cryonic storage" level . For more "normal" transactions.. I might not have problem with some established options, like Ledger Nano etc... To be confirmed of course, but this is the current direction I might be interested in... And yeah, no tnx to exchange... Done my experience with mtgox Luckily I had just real pocket change at the time it went bust.. I am still receiving mail (real one, by normal post) from JP about claims I might give But for pocket change I just do not bother Have received quote some notices about the bankruptcy procedure from mtgox... but haven't responded.. JP takes thing very seriously... they are sending very compact posts... gladly I find a way to open them I wonder if people will actually get some money back or is it just a procedure when the outcome is known in advance (money lost)...

Yeah, that is what impressed me with Mr. Robot too. I remember the first time I saw an episode with one of my developer friends and he said all the code on the screen was legit. It really impressed me.

I'll have to watch Billions then, I love finance too. If they have real info in their shows it is a fun way to learn.

I just love that they take people seriously enough to do their homework... I want for them to continue.. although as viewers (not the ratings but volume - so no of people watching) go down...from already relatively small (target) audience.. they tend to put more general sh... in them Would love if some would just stick to play, original design. Hope someone create future series/movies regardless of profit, just fund them, burn cash.. in order to keep the story/idea intact regardless to what number it drops almost... I mean if it satisfies 100k people... should be enough... just not maybe that much profitable, but in the longterm.. it might become a (priceless) legend with plenty of profits for the side-show So here it is, some reference in the Billions... yum-yum episode.. when they explained about how in this age companies are quarterly-based... not looking into the future much consequently risking about going extinct later

Ok, here is one more... I would bet that one of the next bond villains would be loaded with crypto... They already made some close call in Skyfall.. about the current future that I concur with. They did not mention crypto directly but pretty close Many things became almost obsolete with the development of technology/internet... Many live in ruins

{quote} Tnx man, I will study it carefully... if it is really what it appears to be, without some (vital) parameter be "somewhere" at some provider... or too exposed... and/or high-prob to be lost/stolen/destroyed.... Will let you know if it goes trough over my stress-test scenarios
Ok man, tnx for the reply.. I must say that at first "paper wallet" seemed kind of "virtual" security to me.. but after I have checked all the options out there... I now believe that the paper wallet might be out of the safest methods out there I would still have a (digital - but encrypted) copy of it.. in some electronic form however.. together with the "secure advanced method" under the "https://99bitcoins.com/bitcoin-wallet/paper/" in the link... Yeah I know this kinda defy the purpose.. but hey, why not have it in the electronic form I think this would be as close to "best of both worlds" as I could find atm... having paper wallet encrypted somewhere in the cloud Because the idea is that you can have access anytime/anywhere.. but not to rely on some paper.. which I still think is a close second option... But I would expand it to the cloud.. Well all the other details I can not put out there, but you get the idea, I hope... Hope I was of help...

P.S. I am well aware of higher-risk of putting in the cloud (encrypted)... but I much rather take that risk than being dependant on same paper... either if looking through security or availability standpoint...

It appears "PAPER" wallet still seem to be the best way to store it, if anonymity (with a good amount of security) is top concern.. Am I right or were there some changes, practical examples etc.. that would imply otherwise?
