Kargai Posted August 30, 2018 #1 Posted August 30, 2018 If you want to hear something crazy that could do the trick : what about storing your cryptos passwords and keys/passphrases in a microtube of DNA ? That's exactly what the startup Carverr want to allow, moving "data from digital information to biological, and therefore requires no software updates or internet connection" Quote DNA-based cold storage for digital currencies. Our system is the safest method of cold storage on the planet, developed by a group of experienced asset managers and biotechnologists. There is some advantages of this method, for example like it's offline it's not hackable and like it's related to your own DNA the cold storage can't be outdated (a hardware like a hard drive or a server for example can be). Carverr’s DNA system will ensures that your code outlives you. The inconvenient could be that you have to send Carverr the password/key/code to put in your DNA, so it's a possible breach. But they claim they are using an encrypted messaging service based in Switzerland and you still can alter your code before sending it to them. The article is very interesting to read : https://news.bitcoin.com/bitcoin-cold-storage-in-dna/ Not sure i will let someone mess wih my DNA any time soon but who know in the future ? What about you ?
AquaViki Posted August 30, 2018 #2 Posted August 30, 2018 What good will saving them do, if it has been shared already. They need to tweak the service a bit more such that the process can be done by the person himself without having to share any information beforehand.

Crazy times are comimg!

Yuval Noah Harrari wrote 2 great books about the history of humankind and where it will lead us in the future, why we will be immortal & co. Really great books to see another point of view
