hello frens, I was wondering, This morning i bought some link and created my first ETH wallet using MEW. I was wondering, If I should keep the not passworded version of the private key or not?
I actually didnt print out the paper that shows the key, afraid some family member finds it, or I get my wallet stolen if i print my paper wallet onpaper.
so I only kept the encoded passworded version of my wallet private key.
Am i doing it wrong?
is there a chance the passworded version of my private key will become obsolete?
download json file and store it in a usb, write down your private key and tear the paper into halves.
alternatively mix in some numbers (i.e. if your private key doesnt have the letter 'A' or the number '1', insert some of them into your private key and hide it in an essay on google docs. Just remember to delete all the '1's and 'A's before you use them

i really dont wanna keep the non passworded version of the key, is it safe to only keep the passworded json file?
Im just afraid the passworded version would become obsolete

If you have to ask it means buy and use a TREZOR.

I bought a trezor direct from the manufacturer but the plastic wrapping surrounding the trezor's box has a little rip in it. Should i throw it out?

I will give you this advice because I really like being nice and don't want to see what happen to me pretty much a year ago happen to someone else BUY A NANO S NOW, GOT TO THE LEDGER SITE AND BUY ONE FROM THERE NOW!! from your post you know barely anything about this like I did. I did just like you, bought a stack of 4k link and made a mew wallet just like you and didn't know how to use to probably. Got hacked pretty quick. I advice you get that link off that wallet now and back on binance or whatever exchange you bought it from and wait until you nano s comes. In that time read about how to use a nano s and how the blockchain works. If you don't listen to my advice op you could lose your link within a week or two. THIS IS NOT A LARP

Buy a ledger nano S. Your stinkers will be extra safe. No option to lock in the price though.

thats why im asking to only keep the passworded json file, and not the uncoded version of the private key, i'm willing to only keep the passworded version, so if anyone steals the json file they still wouldnt be able to crack it...since its passworded
