Please do not put your funds into any pre-generated wallet. Unless you trust the person who sold you the wallet, you're potentially going to get robbed since there are others that would also know your private key. If you want to store your funds in a paper wallet, generate them yourself, securely. Title: Re: How to encrypted privatek key and encrypted private key password?

I'd advice you to do it locally.Already do research, bitaddress.org have feature for decrypted the private key, does that website trusted?

There should be several zip files under the releases, download the latest iteration. Use a clean computer with no internet access and run the HTML file with a browser. You should be able to encrypt and decrypt the key accordingly. Ideally, it should be done offline. A clean computer free from malware should be a given.

Now, what you should do is to save that paper wallet or the private key to a safe place, that no one will know on your area/place, though the seller of that paper wallet collectible might know those details, so might be a suggestion to sweep it onto another address, not unless if the fund is not that much that could worry you. |
