Try this one: https://github.com/coinables/segwitaddress

Download the repo and run it locally + offline.



Extra Tip: If you want to generate a bech32 address, run bech32() in your browser console.

Instead of using a website or a github repo which you haven't verified to create a paper wallet, you migh as well use electrum to generate a seed.

Then simply write the seed and 1 or multiple addresses down (preferably with the private key) and delete electrum + wallet file again.

This way you'll have some kind of paper wallet, but with the convenience that you don't have to worry about change addresses when importing the address.
You can then simply import the seed into electrum and electrum will send your change to an address also generated from the seed.


This is not truly a paper wallet, but IMO there are no downsides compared to a classic paper wallet.

Yes, as long as the Electrum wallet is working on an airgapped pc, totally offline, it is one of the safests method.

Then do what they said. In Electrum, create a Segwit wallet (with seed), go to View -> Show Addresses, go to the Addresses tab, right-click any of the addresses -> Private-key, and save it/print it somewhere. All of this in an air gapped computer for maximum security.

just FYI you don't even need a unique program to create a SegWit address from scratch. you just need to change the very last step which encodes your hash into an address, that's all!

for example you can use bitaddress.org to generate a new key pair then use your "address" for compressed public key (starts with 1) to convert to a SegWit address!
first you convert the base58 to its hash160 then encode it using any of the bech32 encoders which can also be found here https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0173.mediawiki#Reference_implementations
