Title: [GUIDE] bitaddress.org USB Key Post by: bitpop on May 02, 2012, 05:19:29 AM This will allow you to securely create bitcoin addresses using a USB key and print them out.
1. Download Tails https://tails.boum.org/about/index.en.html 2. Boot using Tails USB key 3. Visit http://rpupgy3b5lsyxg43.onion/bitaddress/ 4. Verify hashes and PGP keys of bitaddress onion site and Tails. Less secure but still better than using your own computer: 1. Install https://www.virtualbox.org/ 2. Boot Tails ISO using Debian x32 settings All credit goes to https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=43496 Send Donations to: 1NiNja1bUmhSoTXozBRBEtR8LeF9TGbZBN (NOT MINE) http://firstbits.com/1ninja Signed version of the SHA1 hash of the file: http://www.bitaddress.org/ninja_bitaddress.org.txt - PGP Public Key http://www.bitaddress.org/pgpsignedmsg.txt - Signed Message Theoretically Stephan Thomas or someone else could review the code and provide a signature of the SHA1 hash as well...

I'll have to give that a try.
I have a laptop that has no hard drive that boots a 4Gb SD card Ubuntu live session. Each time I start the laptop its essentially a fresh install. I use it for creating and printing paper wallets with bitaddress which is also on the SD card, no internet connection necessary. I also use it for all my bitcoin transactions when I do connect to the internet. Title: Re: [GUIDE] bitaddress.org USB Key Post by: bitpop on May 02, 2012, 06:21:33 AM Thats almost the same. Not sure if tor helps in my solution, but my usb key method also never stores data and ALSO wipes the ram before shutting down.
