Title: Cold storage on Raspberry Pi Post by: tokenpool on March 15, 2018, 03:51:45 PM I am looking to create a cold bitcoin wallet with my Raspberry Pi zero.
Having looked at some guides online I am yet to find one that provides a completely air gapped cold wallet. I would not need to access this bitcoin regularly (just want to get out of coinbase) and would like to keep it completely offline.

The Raspberry Pi series are great little devices. It suffers from one big flaw. It has no power management. This means that you could potentially end up with corrupted files/filesystem. I've had sd cards killed multiple times because of improper shutdowns due to power outages. If you choose to continue with the Rasp. Pi Zero just make sure you backup the wallet on a regular basis. It can still serve your purposes, just be aware of the above and take action to keep proper backups. |
