Post by: Kazim on March 06, 2014, 06:27:20 AM
Can someone help with step by step instructions on how to get bitcoin from On-line watch only wallet to Off-line Seed wallet.  I have followed what I thought were the instructions but cannot get it to transfer without putting Off-line wallet on line.  I need help please!

I assume you've read http://electrum.org/offline_wallets.html

Sometimes I need to read another description of something to get it to work.  Here's how I do it (in the simplest sense):

Using your watch-only wallet, when you're in the Send tab, you'll see 'create unsigned transaction.'  Fill out the form and hit that, save the file to something.  

Reboot... Pull out your Ethernet cable (I reboot with Tails) and load up your offline wallet.  From Tools, Load Transaction.  Sign it, save it.  

Reboot...

Load up your watch-only wallet and do a Load Transaction with the file you saved and then a Broadcast.
