The post discusses what would happen to your Bitcoin in the event that you pass away. We are all very well aware if no one knows your keys or the location of your keys, they will not be able to access your funds.

This means it is imperative to make sure our coins end up in the correct hands in the tragic event that something were to happen to us.

This brings me here...

I recently read an article about creating a Dead-Man's switch to ensure specific people will get specific information if you are not present for a specific amount of time. The idea is that if you were not to log in to a specific email account for a predetermined amount of time, a message (containing your keys) would then be sent to the trusted individuals that you selected.

The Google platform has this feature built into it.

You first need to navigate to 'Inactive Account Management': https://myaccount.google.com/inactive

Then you would need to formulate a plan for when your primary email account is inactive for X amount of time. This includes selecting the recipients and the message itself.

That's it! You may be able to rest easy knowing that if something happened to you, your funds would be secured in the right hands.

...

Notice I said may.

By inputting this information to Google's server, you are inherently trusting them with this information. If your Google account were to be compromised, that data could end up being compromised as well.

So it is important to use this information wisely.   Maybe get creative with it.

Do what you will with this information, but I am sure many of you will be able to put it to good use.

Is anyone familiar with any similar services from a more trusted provider?
