For extra-secure theft prevention, you should split the Key File, passphrase and private key across separate drives and password-protect these drives so that anyone who gets their hands on a drive can't access the contents. For extra loss prevention, you should make multiple copies of these drives and store them in different locations, such as a personal safe, the safe of a trusted family member, and a bank safety deposit box.

Once you have created your backups, delete all traces of the Key File, passphrase and private key from the hard drive of the computer you used for account setup. To ensure deletion, consider using software such as sDelete (Windows) or shred followed by rm (Linux).

We currently only have one community-run staking pool which can be found [here](https://discord.gg/UctbC9Tyms).
