These new altcoins are a convoluted mess for the average non-technical cryptocurrensy enthusiast such as my self. It so many coins, and so much technicalities it's confuses me.

The reason I made this thread is because I'd like to get started in Monero because I like the idea of a fully anonymous currency. My question is, is MoneroAddress.org a safe & proper place to get a wallet for cold storage? I recently watched a video with the main developer on Monero (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GEVm1dMn5Ks) , and there was a part where he implied the only way to get a wallet was through the Monero program or Mymonero?

I  know I sound like a total newbie, but you people have to understand that not everyone is a computer geek, some of us are regular people who support cryptocurrensy.  :-\

this is the thread for this kind of questions:

no need to open a new thread for this, thank you :-*

That thread has 1307 pages, nobody will notice my question.

You could have answered my question medusa13 instead of telling me about another thread.  >:( :( :o

If you ask it it will end up as the last reply, I'm sure you will get a good answer there.

I haven't used moneroaddress yet but AFAIK it is as safe as bitaddress, but you should ask it in the main thread for confirmation.

So where did you obtain your Monero wallet(s)?

I use simplewallet, the default client. You can generate an address offline, without syncing the entire blockchain, and there is a remote node available so if you want you can even check balance without syncing the blockchain.

you can right click, view source code, save it with notepad as a .html file and execute it without internet connection

it generates a valid address.

for me it seems legit
