Self Custody

50 thoughts on “Self Custody”

1. I don’t get it

2. Just don’t lose it

3. Filling with oil seems like overkill if you’re sealing the ends….

   But did you even protect the seed with a passphrase? So that when I come and dig it up, I cannot just sweep the coins into my own wallet?!?

4. I was expecting you to read you stored this internally, as in your butt.

5. Make sure to salt the cache area with a large handful of steel nuts and bolts….that will confuse any metal dectectorists.

6. Now Boof it

7. The oil will eventually breakdown no? Creating a sticky mess? If those stamped metal pieces aren’t stainless they could rust Ad fuse together

8. Time to invest in metal detector companies…

9. I thought you were making a bomb.

10. The Bomb Squad will blow this up when they find it. 🙈😉 You can then say, “I was there when Bitcoin blew up”

11. Where do you live?

12. people go to all this work when all you really need is a strong 25th word

13. Good luck convincing the world that bitcoin is safer than a bank with posts like this.

14. Looking forward to your regret post

15. /r/diwhy

16. you did numbered washers, right?

17. Future treasure hunting sucks!
    “Look, i found an empty wallet… yay!”

18. Ahh the classic probe wallet. I believe it’s called a *warm wallet.

19. are these the physical bitcoins everyone is talking about?

20. Pipebomb or self custody?

21. But why hahaha

22. 10 years later clearing out the junk draw, stupid piece of pipe straight in the bin 😂

23. in a fridge this is cold wallet

24. This is the future of banking?

25. Why show everyone what you’re doing?

26. I recommend that you decrease your attack surface by not advertising to the world how you store your keys.

27. This is stupid

28. For all this effort I would’ve went with stainless washers especially because they’re outside. I have considered the idea incase of a house fire.

29. That’s bad ass

30. If you want to up your self-custody game, check out The Tordl Wallet Protocols which are holistic guides to storing your bitcoin securely.

31. Not your keyster, not your coins.

32. Surely if you burry your seed in the garden it will grow into a tree

33. Put the oil on the outside for easier insertion you doofus

34. Stupid idea

35. That’s my decoy seed phrase. You think I’d keep my crypto sealed in a pipe buried underground where anyone could find it?

36. After 25 years, opens tube.. checks email and pictures on phone and post-it note in wallet to confirm all matches..

37. Along came a 10 year old with a 10 dollar metal detector..

38. Lol the “future of money”

39. Creative but terrible solution. Did you also make a treasure map with a big X on it and burned edges in case something happens to you? What if it rains and your yard floods and mud slides? What if gophers find it and move it?

40. Hope you bought decent lube to store that baby.

41. Hope you never get Alzheimer’s disease in 20 years

42. Hopefully you used mineral oil because some types of oil will cause plastic to fail over time.

43. To make it even better –

    Three bolts.

    Numbers on each bolt –

    Bolt A = 1-16
    Bolt B = 8-24
    Bolt C = 1-8 & 17-24

    Now you need three hiding places, however you only need two bolts to recover. And if someone finds one of your hiding places they cannot steal your coins.

44. Thought you were making a pipe bomb for a second

45. Put access to your wallet in one place – check
    Make it easily findable with any metal detector – check
    Go on public forum and tell the world – check

46. Seeing this makes me think this is all nothing but a pipe dream

47. where you gona hide that in the prison pocket lol

48. “Safe” – until a human with a metal detector comes by

49. Keister your keys!!!

50. He spills the washers and scrambles the sequence.
