Resteemed! Thanks for the heads-up, @ura-soul. I have not purchased any of the hard storage options yet for the same reasons you stated in your reply to @doitvoluntarily.

There are so many layers needed to best security, and I just don't feel confident enough in my understanding of how to make a truly secure cold storage that won't potentially be lost when I die.

I can't afford to lose much money in the learning process, and I feel that I would want to invest in some equipment up front, and learn to do it right from the start even though I wouldn't be risking loosing much in the way of cryptocurrency assets at the start. But that's just how I like to do things.

And then there's always the hazard of the $5 wrench attack that makes it all pointless anyways. Maybe not pointless, but not to factor in a plan that includes how one deals with that kind of attack vulnerability is akin to walking around with a wad of cash sticking out of your back pocket, and never turning around to see who might be eyeing it. Cheers!
