If 100 million people got arrested, then there are 200 million people that don't get arrested. (Only counting 'murikans.)

Of course, I'm a bit biased as I'm almost pretty sure that I won't get arrested. I've gotten into some very hairy situations, but so far, I've not been arrested.

If I live to be a hundred, I'm more than a third of my way there. Fingers crossed.

It helps that you get involved or be a part of law enforcement, but that's not a guarantee. (I'm an officer in the armed forces of my country.) (Yes, I've read about the ones that shot up their base.)

It would be a good hiding spot, but would also be a hard place to use a phone/camera to take a picture of your QR private key when you get out of jail.

I would keep identifer/password/private key written on a paper and put it in bank locker. Easy win situation.

Keeping your private keys and all login credentials safe inside a Metal-safe is what I practice

No worries about anything.

That assumes that a person still retains a rational mind or good memory after X years in there
But when in doubt it never hurts to have alternative ways to remember it such as a digital archive or something of the sort.

Brain wallets do not work, if the password has ever been on the internet ANYWHERE.



Here is my attempt.

Buy the following:

1 - 2" diameter X 4" long steel pipe nipple (threaded on both ends)
2 - 2" diameter threaded end caps.
1 - 1/8 thick X 1" wide X 4" long flat steel
1 - Set of metal punches. Lowercase and Capitals 0-9 (Yes this will cost you some money)

Stamp your private key into piece of flat steel. Insert stamped plate into pipe, tighten on both ends caps to make it water and air tight.

Get a long narrow planters shovel and head to the graveyard at night. Pretend like you are on your hands preying at your grandfathers grave and slice a small circle of grass out and set it aside. Dig an 8 inch deep hole drop in pipe, fill in hole with dirt, replace grass patch. It will grow back within a week or so. No one is going to be digging up a graveyard looking for bitcoins.

Once out of jail, buy a metal detector and at night go to your grandfathers grave to retrieve steel pipe.  

BONUS: Make the private key BIP38 encrypted and put the password in a second pipe. Bury this one above the grave closest to the exit of the graveyard. You will definitely need that before leaving.  

This will stay in tact for 100+ years and will be easy to remember because no one forgets where their grandfather is buried. (Providing you knew him as a young boy)

What online "cloud" service is likely to still be online five years from now?  Ten years?

Microsofts?  Googles?

What's the issue with placing your wallet.dat in a winrar container and password protect it and upload it to the "cloud"?

Tell my mom about it and withdraw them for cash bail. Freedom is more important than anything.
