Just in case: store and transfer your keys in a secure way

in #steemit7 years ago (edited)

We all understand that sooner or later we will grow old, but still try our best not to think about it. And by the way very in vain, because the phrase valar morghulis, says that all people are mortal. In order to make it easier to understand why this should be considered, I will give an example.

In South Asia, between the borders of India and China is located one very interesting state, or more accurately say the kingdom - Bhutan. In 1729, Bhutan adopted a collection of fairly interesting laws, which stated:

"If the government can not ensure the happiness of its subjects, then there is no point in the existence of such a government"

But from time immemorial, and in our time, the state generally adhered to a slightly different principle - GDP (Gross Domestic Product). However, in 1972, the fourth king of Bhutan changed this principle to the opposite, which was called GNS (Gross National Happiness) , the meaning of which was as follows:

"Gradually modernize the country and improve the life of every citizen without detriment to the environment observing the Buddhist traditions"

Do not think that GNS is a stupid joke or another non-arbitrary indicator, because for him a clear methodology for calculating the indicator was developed, which consists of 9 criteria:

  • Psychological well-being;
  • Standards of life;
  • Good management;
  • Health care;
  • Education;
  • The welfare of the community;
  • Cultural diversity;
  • Use of time;
  • Ecology.

And that is characteristic, in the traditions deeply penetrating the ideology of Bhutan - the thought of death. These cute people from childhood do not shy away from the next aspect, typical of all living things. And as a result of surveys, a third of the citizens of the kingdom are extremely happy in all respects. Probably worth thinking about ....

What they do in Bhutan, because according to their culture it is supposed that people osmerti should think five times a day.

But our western ideology of the ostrich, which "hides its head in the sand," leads to much greater suffering than free and quiet discussion and meditation. We used to think differently:

"Yeah, I'm fine - so I'm not worried about anything"

But let's assume that something very bad will happen to you. Presented? And now imagine what will happen to your blog on Steemit, with your wallets in which the crypto currency is stored. They will disappear, and no one will ever get access to them. After all, you have safely hidden your password, right? So let's think about the worst or the inevitable at least once in a lifetime.

April 12, 2013, Google made one very interesting entry in your blog, which you can read here. This post talks about a new service called Google just in case.

In order to use this service, you will need to enter your phone number.





Then in the settings you select the period of inactivity of the account, and then add the addresses that will get access to the data, and of course necessarily indicate the numbers of their phones. And in the end you add a message to the message, in which you can specify instructions, for example, on using crypto currency purses, and how to dispose of it. The message that you compose you can always change, and the service itself will send you a reminder every three months that it is active.

This service I use only in case I lose or forget all the passwords. I do not know the place or storage more reliably ....

To be honest, I do not even think about death or something bad about it, so I wish you all the best and on your face a smile, and of course, a conscious life without fear)
